A new scam protection technology is released by Microsoft Edge.
The phoney "your computer is infected" pop-ups are becoming more sophisticated. And more terrifying.
However, Microsoft has some significant news that might put them out of business.
The way your browser defends against online scams is being altered by this Edge upgrade.
I’ll be honest…
Most conversations about fiduciary risk are boring 😴
Until something breaks.
Because fiduciary risk isn’t just about money.
It’s about trust.
When systems go down, data leaks, or access isn’t controlled properly, the question isn’t “What happened?”
It’s “Who was responsible for preventing this?”
And guess what…
Regulators don’t accept “We didn’t know” as an answer.
From my side of the table, I see this all the time:
😕Outdated systems
😕Too many vendors, no clear owner
😕No documented response plans
That’s where fiduciary exposure quietly builds.
If you’re responsible for protecting members, clients, or investors, your IT setup is part of your fiduciary duty — whether it’s labeled that way or not.
💭 Real question: If an incident happened tomorrow, could you clearly show who owns what and how fast it gets fixed?
I’ve been having some great behind-the-scenes conversations with leaders about this lately. If you ever want to sanity-check your setup or talk through what “clear ownership” actually looks like in practice, I’m always happy to compare notes.
Be cautious of malicious apps that may contain malware.
How can you be sure the program you just downloaded is what it claims to be?
Cybercriminals are becoming more adept at concealing their traps. Additionally, even the most diligent workers could be tricked.
Is your business ready to take that risk?
Have you ever become disoriented while navigating countless menus in an attempt to modify a single small aspect of your computer?
That’s going to get a lot easier.
Microsoft is launching an AI-powered Settings Agent in Windows 11 – designed to help you find, adjust, and personalize settings faster than ever before.
No more rummaging through tabs or guessing where privacy controls live. Just ask, and the AI handles the rest.
The goal? Save time, streamline your day, and help your team focus on work – not tech issues.

Copilot is about to get a lot more hands-on with your files.
You might have noticed Copilot popping up more lately. And now, it’s about to become even more useful.
Until recently, Copilot mostly worked with things on the web. It answers questions, writes emails, summarizes documents. And that’s handy, sure… but it’s not exactly life-changing, is it?
That’s about to change 🥁
Microsoft has announced Copilot Actions for local files. It’s going to change the way you handle everyday tasks.
How?
Well, you’ll soon be able to select a group of files on your computer, say, a folder full of photos, and simply tell Copilot what you want to do.
💬 “Straighten these photos and delete any duplicates.”
💬 “Rename these invoices by date.”
💬 “Zip these files and email them to Andy.”
Copilot will then get to work, using your installed apps and tools, while you move on to something else.
You’ll even be able to watch what it’s doing on your screen (if you’ve got nothing better to do), step by step, and stop it at any time.
In other words, Copilot becomes a kind of digital assistant that acts on your behalf, not just gives advice.
Microsoft’s being cautious with this one (and rightly so).
It’s going to start testing the feature with Windows Insiders first (that’s the group that tries new updates early) before releasing it more widely. But once it lands, this could change how we all work day-to-day.
Imagine delegating the dull stuff, things like renaming, organizing, converting, moving, so you can focus on the things that only you can do.
And the best bit?
Copilot will always ask your permission before doing anything that affects your files, so you stay in control.
It’s early days, but the direction is clear: Your computer is about to become a whole lot more helpful 💡
