Microsoft has introduced a new experimental Windows 11 feature called Cloud Rebuild, which allows re-imaging PCs without physical Windows copies by downloading OS images and drivers via Windows Update. The tool integrates with Microsoft Entra, Intune, and Windows Autopilot for automated app and policy deployment, but requires compatible hardware and internet access.

A recent Windows 11 update has caused issues with the Recycle Bin, OneDrive functionality, and overall PC stability, according to a report. Microsoft has acknowledged the problems, which affect user experience and data management.

Microsoft's June Windows update disrupted third-party applications using OLE automation to launch Office documents, causing failed launches and unclear errors. Affected apps include CCH Engagement, Dentrix, and Zotero, with Microsoft advising direct document opening as a workaround and denying responsibility for third-party compatibility.

Hackers accessed a senior executive's Outlook mailbox at a major global stock exchange for five months, using Dropbox and OneDrive to exfiltrate inbox data in small batches. Symantec and Carbon Black's Threat Hunter Team identified the campaign as espionage-related, not financially motivated.

Microsoft Scout is a new AI personal assistant built on OpenClaw, designed to integrate into Microsoft 365 apps like Outlook, OneDrive, and Teams. It assists with tasks such as organizing calendars, expense reporting, and email drafting, offering broader capabilities than Microsoft's Copilot. Corporate vice president Omar Shahine described it as the first real personal assistant offered by Microsoft.
