Windows Hello wants to protect you, but biometric login will be mandatory

By Chris Stobing Published April 30, 2015

At BUILD 2015 the company unveiled its plans to begin incorporating new security features and password protection methods into the final build of Windows 10.

The first inclusion in the lineup is one you might already recognize: biometric fingerprint scanning. This option is certainly nothing new, and has been supported in Windows going back as early as XP and 2000. Some laptops already come with the option to use your fingerprint alongside your password for user verification, and Microsoft says we should expect Windows 10 to be fully compatible with older readers as well as newer Windows phones with a built-in fingerprint scanner of their own.

Next will be a feature you’ve probably already seen on devices like the Samsung Galaxy: facial recognition using the onboard camera. In order to get past your password prompt, the camera will take a reading of the user’s face, using specialized software to scan their features and grant access even if they’re wearing new glasses, have a different hairstyle, or grew a swirly mustache.

But just in case both your face and your fingerprint aren’t enough verification, users will also have the option to include an iris scan in the credential key-chain. Though there aren’t any devices on shelves with compatible hardware just yet, Microsoft says we can expect to see iris scanning laptops and peripherals for desktops start to roll out sometime in the next 12 months.

Last is Microsoft Passport, a password service which will ask users to create unique PINs to tie to their Microsoft Live account, instead of a pair of alphanumerical credentials that might be easily guessed by friends or family members who happen to know the name of your first pet.

The PIN will do everything from logging you into your desktop to making it quick and easy to make purchases on the Windows Store, as well as using any Azure Active Directory or OneDrive cloud services.

If you want to use Windows Hello, though, you must choose one of these new security methods. It will not work for users who stick with an old-fashioned password.

PC gamers still prefer Windows 10 over Windows 11

A man stands in front of a gaming PC.

Windows 11 saw a decline in the latest Steam hardware and software survey for July 2024. According to Valve's data, gamers using Microsoft's newer operating system dropped below the 46% threshold. Currently, Windows 11 accounts for approximately 45.81% of all Windows users on Steam, marking a decrease of 0.82% from the previous month.

In contrast, Windows 10 experienced an increase of 0.74%, reaching a 50.16% share. Although gaming performance is generally similar on both operating systems, a recent test by Hardware Unboxed reveals that Windows 10 may offer better performance in certain titles due to the core isolation feature, where memory integrity is enabled by default on Windows 11.

Here’s how much RAM Windows 11 actually uses

A man sits, using a laptop running the Windows 11 operating system.

Upgrading to Windows 11 comes with a few requirements, and that includes a bump in random access memory (RAM) compared with Windows 10.

Windows 11, while it introduces a host of new features, may consume more RAM than its predecessor, but the amount of memory that it uses is not universal. Below, we'll explain what RAM is, explore how much RAM Windows 11 actually uses, and how to lower that amount if your PC is having a hard time.

Microsoft is backpedaling on future Windows 10 updates

The Windows Update screen in Windows 10.

Windows 10 is on its way out, with support ending in October 2025. That isn't changing, though Microsoft's approach to rolling out new features in the meantime definitely has. In a surprising move, Microsoft announced in a June 4 Windows Insider Blog post that it is bringing a Beta Channel for those Windows Insiders currently running on Windows 10 version 22H2.

This means that despite the end of support, Windows 10 users will continue to get some new features that were initially restricted to Windows 11, such as the new Copilot app. It's also possible that other features may be on the way, but Microsoft has not released any further information on the subject. It was originally stated that Windows 10 version 22H2 would be its final feature update, but that appears to not be true anymore.
