  1. Current Windows Security Loophole


    I have a question regarding the recent security issue that has been reported for Windows 10 and 11. The issue specified in this article: https://www.tomshardware.com/news/windows-10-11-vulnerability-allows-admin-passwords-to-changeMy question is if this is a potential hacking issue or if it means that the danger is from other people using the same computer and becoming thr admin. I just want to know exactly where the threat is coming from.

    Security loophole

    A windows phone with password protection can still be turned off by anyone who gets access to the phone. This is a security threat and i have already lost my Lumia 720 in the same manner. Is there any update or fix for this loophole ?

    I realized my phone has been picked up by someone and within the next min i got a message that the phone is switched off when i called. Lumia 720 cannot be switched off by removing the battery in such short time. Had there been a fix, i might not have lost
    the phone. Need to know if Microsoft team is already aware of the problem and if yes, when is a fix expected to be released.

    Security loophole

    Hello ARSSS,

    Thank you for your contribution on the forum Microsoft.

    Windows Phone can be turned off even you have a password on your lock screen. I guess Microsoft doesn't take this as an issue. It's by design. You will always have a way to turn off a phone, without unlock it the phone. For example if the phone doesn't respond.

    You can suggest your suggestion on this website :
