How to add Copy To and Move To buttons to the right-click menu

 Often while using the computer we need to copy or transfer a file from one place to another on the hard disk, whether transferring a file from Partition "D" to Partition "C" on the desktop, or from the flash drive to the hard drive. When you want to, you have to select the file and right click to get the option "Copy" for copying and "Cut" for transfer, select the appropriate option and then go to the folder you want to add it to. The problem with this method is that it is difficult when it comes to copying or moving multiple files from different folders, so you will find that it is impractical and wastes a lot of time. In this case, the "Send to" option is usually used to make the command smooth and fast, as you specify the location from the submenu and a shortcut to the specified files is created immediately in the specified location. But the shortcuts don't always work, as the original copy must be stored on the same hard d...

Microsoft’s New Kernel Data Protection Coming to Windows 10

Microsoft’s New Kernel Data Protection Coming to Windows 10

Kernel Data Protection protects Windows 10 system memory by converting it to read-only and storing it in the new VBS technology.

Microsoft’s efforts to prevent malware attacks are gaining a new weapon. The firm has this week published technical details about a service called Kernel Data Protection (KDP). This new security tool will soon be integrated into Windows 10.

According to Microsoft, the feature stops malware and other threats from accessing and changing Windows 10’s system memory. KDP will allow developers to leverage programmatic APIs to change some parts of the Windows kernel to read-only.

“For example, we’ve seen attackers use signed but vulnerable drivers to attack policy data structures and install a malicious, unsigned driver,” Microsoft’s Base Kernel Team points out. “KDP mitigates such attacks by ensuring that policy data structures cannot be tampered with.”

While Kernel Data Protection is a security-focused feature, Microsoft says it has other abilities. For example, it can be used as a digital rights management tool. Furthermore, the service comes with the following benefits named by Microsoft:

  • “Performance improvements – KDP lessens the burden on attestation components, which would no longer need to periodically verify data variables that have been write-protected
  • Reliability improvements – KDP makes it easier to diagnose memory corruption bugs that don’t necessarily represent security vulnerabilities
  • Providing an incentive for driver developers and vendors to improve compatibility with virtualization-based security, improving adoption of these technologies in the ecosystem.”

Details

KDP will work over a new tech the company is bringing to Windows 10. Called virtualization-based security (VBS), the tech uses the underlying PC hardware to create a secure region for memory away from the normal OS system.

Kernel Data Protection takes the read-only kernel memory and moves it to the VBS. Any Windows 10 machine that supports the new VBS will also receive KDP. Those PCs are ones that support:

  • “Intel, AMD or ARM virtualization extensions
  • Second-level address translation: NPT for AMD, EPT for Intel, Stage 2 address translation for ARM
  • Optionally, hardware MBEC, which reduces the performance cost associated with HVCI”

How to Fixing Error 0xc00000e9 on WIndows 10?

How to Fixing Error 0xc00000e9 on WIndows 10? From the error code mentioned in the above post, you may be facing this issue due to the hardware incompatibility or the faulty device drivers installed in the PC. When a device driver is faulty or not working properly, it can be identified by the yellow exclamation mark on the driver in Device Manager. Most of the time updating the faulty drivers will help in resolving the issue. Method 1: Removing the external device and updating the faulty device drivers. Step 1: I suggest you to remove all the external devices connected to your PC except for mouse and keyboard and check if you are able to boot and login into the PC. If your PC should start without any issues, connect the disconnected external device one after the other and check which device is causing the conflict. Update the driver software of that particular device which caused the issue and check if the issue is resolved. Step 2: To update the faulty device driver, follow the steps ...

How to Use Windows 10 Disk Cleanup in Classic and Extended Mode to Free up Space

We show you how to open and use Disk Cleanup in Windows 10 and use its advanced mode to free up even more space. It’s smart to buy a small SSD to run your OS, but this can lead to its own problems. All too often, temporary files and deleted items can build up, getting your drive so clogged that it can affect performance. Because of this, Microsoft has created the Windows 10 disk cleanup tool, which you can utilize to free up space on your C: drive or any other drive. Unfortunately, low disk space notifications don’t tend to direct you to this tool, instead taking you to Windows storage settings. This leads many to wonder where disk clean up is in Windows 10. Though it isn’t displayed prominently in the settings app, you can find it quite easily in Control Panel or via the Start Menu. Running Disk Cleanup in Windows 10 can free up space by deleting files that you don’t need. The most savings are often found by deleting previous Windows installations and files left in the recycle b...

When starting the computer, you have to wait between 5 to 10 minutes because there are some programs that start automatically when you start Windows, this is a big problem of course if the number of these programs is large and will cause very slow when Windows starts. In this article, we will review ways to control startup programs or “Startup Programs” by disabling programs that you do not need. Most software companies prefer to open programs at startup but the question here is how many times per day do you use Photoshop? Do you need all these startup programs at the expense of the speed and performance of the computer or are you looking for a computer with good performance to get your work done in a short time without problems? Here the answer is up to you. Disabling programs that run at startup can greatly increase the speed of your computer and will not usually affect your computer since programs can be loaded manually when you click on them. You can easily stop the programs that w...

How to Delete a User Profile from the Registry and System Properties

We show you how to use Windows 10 to delete a user profile to reset an account without deletion or to aid a complete removal.           Adding a new account in Windows 10 creates a user profile, a collection of settings and folders that ensure each person on the PC has a unique, customized experience. This also contains all of their documents, saved games, videos, and more. This can take up some space, but fortunately, Windows lets you delete a user profile if you no longer need it or it gets corrupted. What’s the difference between a user profile and a user account? It’s worth noting that a Windows 10 user profile and a user account are two separates, but somewhat linked concepts. Though a user profile is created when an account is added to a PC, it’s not always deleted when it’s removed. Likewise, you can remove a user profile without deleting the account from Windows 10 and the login screen. For that. Deleting a user profile in Windows 10 can be a stro...
