We are always telling you to ignore those "Your computer is infected with viruses!" bogus popup messages on the internet prompting you to call an 800 number. If you want to see an accurate depiction of who is behind this theft, watch the first 10 minutes of the 2024 movie The Beekeeper. Didn't know that was part of the story line. Think twice, click once!

You did it again, North Iowa. We just recycled 970 pounds - almost half a ton - of electronic waste! Thanks for proving again that we have the best customers that help us keep our environment clean!! 🙌

Windows 11 tip of the day - Snap Layouts! You can still drag windows to the sides and corners for half- and quarter-screen layouts, but Windows 11 adds a hover menu over the Maximize button that offers layout options. You can choose one large window on the left and two on top of each other on the right, or three in a row, for example. Your choices depend on the size of your display. The feature has been updated with more layout options and thumbnails for running apps in the layout choices. Enjoy seeing more of your windows at once!

Reminder to our business customers: Microsoft has announced Windows 10 will reach End of Life on October 14, 2025.

After this date, Microsoft will no longer provide:
- Free software updates from Windows Update
- Technical assistance
- Security fixes
- Bug fixes for issues
- Time zone updates

If your computer is new enough and supports Windows 11 via Windows Update, it's probably about time to do the upgrade. Otherwise you should start planning to replace those older Windows 10 computers to keep your business safe! Contact us if you have any questions!

Prepare for life without Microsoft Publisher! Publisher was not included in this latest MS Office 2024 release in October, and Microsoft plans to end support for it in 2026. Time to get familiar with Canva or LibreOffice Draw. Have a great day!

Computer tip: A top feature added in the Windows 11 22H2 update is that File Explorer finally gets tabs like your web browser has. Having tabs saves you from littering your desktop with multiple File Explorer windows when you need to view more than one folder at a time. Just right-click on a folder and choose Open in New Tab, like you would in a web browser. Now you can easily copy files between folders in one File Explorer window! Have a great day!
