| Lenovo quietly installed software on laptops, even if you wiped it The users discovered the issue in May when using a new Lenovo laptop that automatically and covertly overwrote a system file on every boot, which downloaded a Lenovo updater and installed software automatically, even if Windows was reinstalled from a DVD. The only problem is that nobody actually asked for this software, and it persisted between clean installs of Windows. Lenovo was essentially exploiting a rootkit on its own laptops to ensure its software persists if wiped.
It appears that Windows has a feature that allows manufacturers hide crapware… in your system BIOS. Which just goes to show that the unwanted crapware problem in Windows is systemic, and it’s not just the bad actors like Download.com. The entire ecosystem is built to allow crapware to run free. It’s worth noting, of course, that this feature wasn’t designed for crapware. But it’s easy to see how it would get turned into that. Even when told not to, Windows 10 just can't stop talking to Microsoft Unfortunately for privacy advocates, these controls don’t appear to be sufficient to completely prevent the operating system from going online and communicating with Microsoft’s servers. It’s really hard to make Windows 10 not send information back to Microsoft. Of course, if you are that worried about privacy you should probably just use Linux. Apple brings Windows 10 support to Mac in Boot Camp update the latest version of Boot Camp, which is currently rolling out to OS X Yosemite users as a system update, now comes with support for 64-bit versions of Microsoft’s Windows 10 operating system. Running Windows on a Mac gives you the best hardware combined with a familiar operating system. We have run Windows on MacBooks for the last 6 years here at HTG HQ. | |

| When you create a table in Word, you can have the table automatically resized to fit the contents. However, sometimes you may want to freeze the size of the cells in the rows and columns so they will not change. This is easy to accomplish. | |

| Mobile and broadband data caps alike have made people very conscientious of their data usage. Windows 10 includes a built-in network usage monitor that, unlike its predecessor, is actually a pretty useful way to keep an eye on your bandwidth consumption. Read on as we show you how. | |

| Windows 10 comes with the Microsoft Solitaire Collection, a solitaire game that requires you to watch 30-second-long full-screen video advertisements to keep playing. Ad-free solitaire costs $1.49 per month or $9.99 per year. That’s $20 per year if you want both ad-free solitaire and ad-free minesweeper. But there’s a better way. | |

| If you are a gamer or you read gaming news at all, you will probably know of SteamOS. It is a new operating system that Valve is working on for dedicated gaming computers. The Operating system is based on Linux and has a Debian x64 architecture as its base. While this is really cool and I am personally looking forward to the day when I we can use this OS for serious gaming, it is still in the Beta development stages. | |

| Windows 10 is out, so we’re going from our Macs to PCs with daily regularity. While there are quite a few differences between them, nothing trips us up more than cut/copy/paste. Here is how to remap cut/copy/paste so they’re the same on both platforms. | |
|
| Excel includes a feature that allows you to quickly apply some basic formatting to inserted rows, columns, or cells in your worksheet. When you insert any of these items, a small, floating button, called "Insert Options", displays next to the inserted row, column, or cell. | |

| Android has a massive security bug in a component known as “Stagefright.” Just receiving a malicious MMS message could result in your phone being compromised. It’s surprising we haven’t seen a worm spreading from phone to phone like worms did in the early Windows XP days — all the ingredients are here. | |
