I've never used that service but that is most certainly a lot of DNA. 

Months later...Three of four computers updated to v5. I asked on the MBAM forum just how long v 4 would be supported and got no definitive answer. So yesterday I decided to download v 5 and install it myself. I hoped there would not be a problem with the install. It went smoothly.

One thing I'm going to request in v 5, show the version the computer is running without having to do 3 things: 1) Open up the MBAM program, 2) click on my icon at the top right and 3) Click on About Malwarebytes.

In v 4, as I hovered over the tray icon, the version showed. When I opened the Program, the version was also displayed on the titlebar. It seems we are losing something that was working well.

Windows 10 update history

Some US customers of Kaspersky antivirus --- which has been banned by the US government --- were surprised on/after September 19th when they realized, without any notice/permission, it was automatically uninstalled and replaced with Pango UltraAV.  [Other customers did report receiving an email from Kaspersky about the pending transition.]
On its separate webpage, UltraAV had indicated that no action would be required by Kaspersky customers to get their replacement.  And a Kaspersky employee explained in the company forum that the update was implemented to "ensure that users would not experience a gap in protection upon Kaspersky's exit from the market".

Regardless of the explanation/intent, most users were furious to see this could be done to their computers without first getting their explicit consent.

Announcing Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 26120.1843 (Dev Channel)

New features gradually being rolled out to the Dev Channel with toggle on

Shared Content in File Explorer Home
File Explorer will now provide you with quick access to files that have been shared with you. If you are signed into Windows with your Microsoft account, you will be able to view files that have been shared with your account, such as email, Teams chat, etc. If you are a commercial customer who is signed-in with your Microsoft Entra ID account, you will additionally be able to view files that they have shared with others. You can access this feature by launching File Explorer Home and clicking on the 'Shared' tab item.

You will also be able to view a broader set of file types in their Recent, Favorites, and Shared sections on the homepage. For example, if you've recently opened/edited files in Designer, Loop, Power BI, Forms, etc. these files will now be available in your Recent list.

FEEDBACK: Please file feedback in Feedback Hub (WIN + F) under Files Folders and Online Storage > File Explorer.

Windows Sandbox Client Preview
This build includes the new Windows Sandbox Client Preview that is now updated via the Microsoft Store. As part of this preview, we're introducing runtime clipboard redirection, audio/video input control, and the ability to share folders with the host at runtime. You can access these via the new "..." icon at the upper right on the app.  Additionally, this preview includes a super early version of command line support (commands may change over time). You can use 'wsb.exe –help' command for more information.

FEEDBACK: Send us feedback in Feedback Hub (WIN + F) under Security & Privacy > Windows Sandbox.

Changes and Improvements gradually being rolled out to the Dev Channel with toggle on

[General]

• For new PCs or new user accounts on managed commercial devices (PCs running Windows 11 Enterprise, Education, or Pro logged in with an Entra ID (or domain), the Microsoft 365 app will be pinned to the taskbar for quick access to Copilot for Microsoft 365. Existing commercial PCs that still have the previous Copilot in Windows experience will see that replaced with the Copilot app pinned to their taskbar.
  

[Lock screen]

• We have updated the Lock screen so that the media controls will now show at the lower bottom center of the Lock screen now when media is being played.

[Start menu]

• When right-clicking on apps pinned to the Start menu, jump lists will be shown for apps that have them such as PowerPoint.
• Based on feedback, we've made some updates to the new account manager on the Start menu making the sign out option directly visible, and adding a list of signed in users under "..." so it's faster to switch accounts.
  

[Taskbar & System Tray]

• We are trying out a more simplified system tray to highlight the date/time in a shortened form and to show the notifications bell icon based on DND status. Without the notification bell icon, you can get to your notifications by clicking the date and time to Notification Center. You can revert to the long form of the date/time and bell icon visuals by toggling the values in the Settings via Settings > Date and Time under "Show time and day in the system tray" and Settings > System > Notifications under "Notifications". These settings are also accessible through the context menu shown by right clicking the system tray clock/bell icon button.

[Search on the Taskbar]

• We are beginning to roll out the ability to share local files directly from within the search results shown in the search box on the taskbar.

[Input]

• We have updated Settings > Bluetooth & Devices > Touch to have a new section for touch screen edge gestures, where you can choose if you would like to disable the left or right screen edge touch gesture.

[Notifications]

• If desired, there's now an option to turn off the suggestions to disable notifications from certain apps. You can now press the "..." within the notification to disable the notification, as you can with other notifications, or you can go to the list of notification senders in Settings > System > Notifications and turn it off from there (called "Notification Suggestions" in the list). Note – this entry will only appear in the senders list after you have received one.
  

[Settings]

• In response to feedback, we have added a detach virtual hard disk (VHD/`VHDx) button to Settings making it much simpler to detach your VHD/VHDx as needed. This option is available under Settings > System > Storage > Disks & Volumes, in the properties for your VHD/VHDx.
  
• We've designed the settings page for Delivery Optimization under Settings > Windows Update > Advanced options > Delivery Optimization to match the Windows 11 design principles.
  
• We've updated the dialog when viewing your Wi-Fi password under Settings > Network & internet to match the Windows 11 visuals.
  

Fixes gradually being rolled out to the Dev Channel with toggle on

[File Explorer]

• Fixed an issue where when pressing WIN + E, a screen reader might unexpectedly say a pane had focus, or focus may not be set within File Explorer at all.
• Fixed an issue which was causing CTRL + F to sometimes not start a search in File Explorer.
• Fixed an issue where keyboard focus might get lost sometimes when doing Shift + Tab in File Explorer.
• Fixed an issue causing screen readers to not announce when you were opening or navigating items in the breadcrumb flyouts of the open or save dialog.
• Fixed an issue causing screen readers to not announce anything when opening or navigating items in the column header flyout in File Explorer.

[Input]

• Updated the logic for the setting "Press the lower right corner of the touchpad to right-click" Settings > Bluetooth & Devices > Touchpad so it shouldn't show in cases where the touchpad doesn't support the functionality.

[Task Manager]

• Fixed an issue where the background wasn't displayed correctly in Task Manager settings.

Fixes for everyone in the Dev Channel

[General]

• We can confirm that the Recall feature is no longer showing as an option under the 'Turn Windows features on or off' dialog in the Control Panel in Windows.
• Fixed an underlying issue believed to be the cause of Insiders on the previous flight finding the Windows Modules Installer (tiworker.exe) unexpectedly using 100% of the CPU, causing freezes and other issues on PCs.
• Fixed an issue causing some Insiders to fail to install the latest updates, seeing error 0x800f0993.

[Input]

• Fixed an issue causing text suggestions for the hardware keyboard to not work properly (selecting one unexpectedly concatenates).

[Widgets]

• Fixed an issue which could result in the Widgets icon unexpectedly displaying in the taskbar twice sometimes.

[Other]

This update includes fixes for the following issues:

• [FrameShutdownDelay] The browser ignores its value in the "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main" registry key.
  
• [Unified Write Filter (UWF) and Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM)] An SCCM task to re-enable UWF fails because of a deadlock in UWF. This stops the device from restarting when you expect it.
  
• [OpenSSH] This update adds a prompt that asks you to confirm when you turn on OpenSSH using the Server Manager UI.
  
• [NetJoinLegacyAccountReuse] This update removes this registry key. For more information refer to KB5020276—Netjoin: Domain join hardening changes.
  
• [Domain Name System (DNS)] This update hardens DNS server security to address CVE-2024-37968. If the configurations of your domains are not up to date, you might get the SERVFAIL error or time out.
  
• [vmswitches] They fail to enumerate using Get-VMSwitch command.
  
• [Windows Installer] When it repairs an application, the User Account Control (UAC) does not prompt for your credentials. After you install this update, the UAC will prompt for them. Because of this, you must update your automation scripts. Application owners must add the Shield icon. It indicates that the process requires full administrator access. To turn off the UAC prompt, set the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Installer\DisableLUAInRepair registry value to 1. The changes in this update might affect automatic Windows Installer repairs; see Application Resiliency: Unlock the Hidden Features of Windows Installer.
  
• [Group Policy Preferences Item Level Targeting (ILT) and Local Users and Groups] You cannot choose a group from the target domain for ILT. Also, you cannot choose an account from Local Users and Groups. The forest does not appear. This issue occurs when you deploy multiple forests, and the target domain has a one-way trust with the domain of the admin. This issue affects Enhanced Security Admin Environment (ESAE), Hardened Forests (HF), or Privileged Access Management (PAM) deployments.
  
• [Task Manager] Graphs on the Performance page in Task Manager do not show the correct colors when you use dark mode.
  
• [Remote Desktop Services] It stops responding.
