On March 24th, Microsoft<\/a> had announced that they were halting optional, non-security updates, due to the pandemic. However, update 20H1, also known as 2004 is still planned to be pushed out. This should occur possibly sometime this month or the next.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Along with the list of quality improvements and bug fixes, 20H1 will also encourage users to go passwordless. Microsoft states that, “this will strengthen your device sign-in by switching all Microsoft accounts on your device to modern multifactor authentication<\/a> with Windows Hello Face, Fingerprint, or PIN, and eliminating passwords from Windows.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To make your PC passwordless, follow the simple steps below:<\/h5>\n\n\n\n
  1. Go to Settings<\/li>
  2. Accounts<\/li>
  3. Sign-in options<\/li>
  4. Click “On” under the “Make your device passwordless” option<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
