Microsoft Launched KB4464455 For Windows 10 October 2018 Update To Fix Some Bugs

Although initially, Microsoft was happy after the staging of its most recent update, the Windows 10 October 2018 Update, little by little all that enthusiasm lowered due to the severe errors that users worldwide reported. That’s why the giant tech company had to correct those bugs with the new KB4464455. Accordingly, Microsoft launched a new Build, but only for the Windows Insider program’s members, to check out the fixing of the bugs the users detected in the last major update of the renowned operating system.

For example, the severe issue found in the Task Manager, which causes incorrect details to be displayed in the processes tab, was ruled out in the new KB4464455 update. In particular, this was a problem that Microsoft itself admitted after the launch of the Windows 10 October 2018 update for the members of the Windows Insider program. Somehow, this error reached the final release of the update.

On the other hand, the new KB4464455 update also solves a series of errors with various third-party antivirus solutions, as well as some compatibility bugs with multiple drivers, although no further details were provided in this regard. Reportedly, it also fixed a problem that, occasionally caused the IME to not work in Edge sessions, as well as a bug that made program unresponsive after waking up PCs from the sleep mode.

Microsoft released KB4464455 to fix bugs of the recent Windows 10 October 2018 Update

However, you must keep in mind that this new KB4464455 version does not bring any new features to the Microsoft’s operating system, as was to be expected, since its primary objective is to improve the performance of the software before Microsoft resumes Windows 10 October 2018 Update’s global implementation on devices around the world.

The problems with the most recent major update have not stopped. That until the giant tech company had to pause delivering the Update after the finding of a severe bug that caused the deletion of users’ personal files after installing the patch. That was unacceptable for Microsoft.

Although Microsoft has already solved this problem, for the moment, the Windows 10 October 2018 Update is still available for some of the Windows Insider program’s members, as others high-level testers are already probing the upcoming Windows 10 Redstone 6.

Forget About Vidmate: iTube Studio Is The Complete Video Downloader For Windows and Mac

When you think of a video downloader, Vidmate is probably the first solution you consider for Android. Thanks to Android emulators, such as BlueStacks, you can also run Vidmate on PC. However, Vidmate has no Windows- and Mac-based version. But iTube Studio is the complete video downloader for Windows and Mac. Furthermore, iTube Studio is also boasting some very cool, unique features that make it the best choice when you need to download a video from popular streaming services.

While many video downloading programs and apps work only with significant video content sites, such as YouTube, DailyMotion, Facebook, and so on, iTube Studio is compatible with more than 10,000 video portals, including the before-mentioned ones. Virtually, with iTube, you can download videos from wherever you want.

Apart from being a videos downloader, iTube Studio offers other complementary features that are not present in Vidmate, for example. Accordingly, we have video editing tools to customize the downloaded video as we want, without installing third-party apps.

Forget about Vidmate because iTube Studio is the best video downloader for Windows and Mac

Once you download iTube Studio on your Windows or Mac computer, all you need to do is run it and focus on the “Download” section. That is the first tab in the program’s GUI and is the one that allows you to quickly start downloading videos from any video streaming site in up to a 4K resolution. All you have to do is to find the URL or address of the video you want to save on your computer, copy the link into iTube Studio interface.

With iTube Studio, you’ll also be able to download more videos at the same time, thanks to the program’s “Download in Batches” option.

And the best part of iTube Studio is that it also comes as an extension for Google Chrome, Firefox, and Microsoft Edge that installs the iTube Studio videos downloader into your Internet browser, so that, whenever you are on a web page that runs a video, the software will automatically offer you the possibility to download that video.

Probably, Vidmate remains the best video downloader for Android, but it lacks a Windows- and Mac-based version. iTube Studio, on the other hand, is dedicated to computers, both Windows and Mac, and offers additional features, including some video editing tools.

iPad Pro 2018 Comes with New Improvements but Also Some Minuses

New rumors

As the release date for the new iPad Pro series is approaching, a series of rumors has been surfacing on the internet.

The latest rumor claims that the new tablet designed by Apple will be so thin that the headphone jack will be removed, as it will simply not fit due to its size.

The rumor was started by a credible source on Twitter and the source has been proved accurate in the case of the iPhone XS range. One of the available sources has also claimed that the thickness will be around 5.9 mm, shedding to millimeters in comparison to the 6,1mm thickness of the 10.5-inch iPad Pro.

Leaked renders have also shown a design that lacked the headphone jack, and the suggested 5.85 thickness further reinforces the claim.

Plus and minus

While the rumors are popular, there is no reason to mourn or celebrate the removal of the headphone jack just yet. If it’s true, it would be the first Apple tablet without the beloved port. Since multiple generations of iPhones have done well without the jack, it is only a matter of time until the new iPad series will receive the same treatment, as the company looks forward to the future.

Some sources also believe that the new iPad series will sport slimmer bezels and Apple may include the popular FaceID into the mix.

A prediction by a well-known Chinese analyst claims that Apple will drop its proprietary Lighting ports in the favor of USB-C. The move will allow the development of better batteries, while third-party accessory support will also bloom, as companies will race to be licensed by Apple in order to offer accessories. If the move is successful, the 2019 iPhone series may also make the transition.

The decision may also come due to a recent decision by EU regulators, but it remains to be seen if it will happen.

The new iPad Pro should be revealed towards the end of October.

Palm Is The Smallest Android Smartphone Of The Moment

From the manufacturers of Palm, the famous PDA devices which were very popular in the 1990s, here come the “Palm,” which is the smallest Android smartphone of the moment. This gadget would come out in November as a Verizon-exclusive product aiming to be an add-on to your primary handsets.

According to the guys from The Verge, who tested the upcoming Android smartphone from Palm, the device shares your regular phone number and runs Android 8.1 Oreo and all the usual apps within Google Play Store. “It’s like a phone for your phone,” The Verge said. The tech news portal added that the Palm smartphone also boasts Gorilla Glass 3 on display but also on its glassy backside.

The Palm smartphone boasts a 3.3-inch display with 445-PPI and LCD technology. It also packs a 12-megapixel main camera with LED and an 8-MP selfies camera. They didn’t reveal many under the hood technical specs, besides the fact that it comes with 32 Gb of internal storage.

Palm Is The Smallest Android Smartphone Of The Moment

“There’s a single virtual button on the bottom. You tap it once to go back, twice to go home, and long-press it to get to the multitasking screen. Since there are no volume buttons, you need to swipe down the quick settings panel to adjust that. And since there’s no fingerprint sensor, Palm wrote a custom face-unlock feature that uses the 8-megapixel front camera,” according to The Verge.

Also, the Palm, the smallest Android smartphone of the moment, is also boasting a Life Mode that “enables a set of Do Not Disturb and Low Battery settings.”

“In Life Mode, your notifications are obviously turned off, but Palm is also turning off the wireless radios. The cellular and Wi-Fi radios will only turn on when the screen is on. It’s a much more aggressive way to turn off notifications and deny incoming phone calls,” the folks from The Verge said.
