💻 If you’ve ever had your computer crash for no clear reason (and we all have, right?) get ready to celebrate.

Microsoft might finally have a fix for that.

In the latest test version of Windows 11, there’s a new feature called Proactive Memory Diagnostics.

And while that name sounds a bit technical, the idea is simple: Windows will now try to help you stop crashes before they become a problem.

If your PC suddenly freezes or restarts because of a glitch (what Microsoft calls a “bugcheck”), you’ll get a message suggesting you run a quick memory scan the next time you reboot.

It takes about five minutes. During the scan, Windows looks for memory-related issues. The kind of invisible errors that can cause your PC to act up out of nowhere.

If it finds something wrong, it will automatically fix it and let you know what it did.

The goal?

A smoother, more reliable system going forward!

It’s still in the preview stage, so you won’t see it just yet. But once it arrives, it’ll be one more quiet way Windows keeps your devices running smoothly in the background. Which is exactly what you want from your IT.

💻 Is your business still using Windows 10?

Windows 10 has been familiar, reliable, and for many, “good enough”.

And we get it. Upgrading can feel like more hassle than it’s worth. Especially when everything seems to still be working just fine.

But here’s the problem...

When Microsoft ends support for an operating system, it’s not just about missing out on shiny new features.

It’s about security.

No more security updates. No more fixes for new vulnerabilities. No more protection against evolving threats.

That means every device still running Windows 10 has its front door unlocked. Not because you meant to leave it unlocked, but because you didn’t realise the lock had stopped working.

For many businesses, the hesitation to upgrade isn’t ignorance. It comes down to resources.

Upgrading costs money, time, and effort. And for some, there are older apps or systems that only work on Windows 10.

But here’s the reality: The longer you stay on unsupported tech, the more you pay in hidden costs, from IT firefighting to downtime to cyber risk.

Upgrading is about protecting your data, your clients, and your reputation.

And you don’t have to do it all at once. A smart migration plan can spread the cost and minimise disruption.

So if you’re still on Windows 10, take this as your gentle nudge. Now’s the time to plan your move. The sooner you modernise, the safer and smoother things will be!

Ready to make the move, but don’t want the headache? Get in touch - we’ll handle the tech so you can keep focusing on your business.

📍 Microsoft Teams now allows users to share their location. Here's how it can benefit you and your employees...

This new feature will automatically detect when someone connects to the company’s Wi-Fi network and set their work location accordingly.

It means less confusion about who’s where. Especially in hybrid teams where some people are remote, some in-office, and others constantly moving between sites.

✅ It could make planning and communication smoother.

✅ Managers won’t have to chase people to check if they’re in today or working from home.

✅ Colleagues can see immediately who’s available for an in-person chat versus who’s only online.

✅ It might even help with desk booking systems or meeting room management, saving time and avoiding awkward “I thought you were here today!” moments.

But perception matters. Employees need to understand what’s being tracked, why, and what isn’t.

If handled well, this feature could be another tool for smarter collaboration.

If handled poorly, it could feel like 'Big Brother' has joined your Teams channel.

For business owners, this is the key takeaway: Transparency is everything.

Before rolling out any kind of workplace monitoring or automation, explain it clearly. Tell your team what’s being used, what data it captures, and how it benefits them. Make it a conversation, not a surprise!

⚠️ Cyber criminals are increasingly targeting mobiles and browsers to get around traditional security protections.

These are called client-side attacks.

Instead of going after a company’s servers, the criminals inject malicious code that runs directly on your phone or browser.

The scary part is how convincing these attacks can be.

Full-screen prompts, familiar logos, and browser messages all add up to something most people would trust without thinking twice.

Why is this happening?

Mobile platforms have weaker protections than desktop browsers, making them easier to exploit. And let’s face it, on a small screen, when you’re on the move, it’s easier to miss the warning signs.

So, what can you do?

For businesses, it means making sure websites and apps are tightly monitored, especially third-party scripts.

For you and your people, it comes down to being cautious. Don’t install apps from unexpected prompts and be suspicious of any login screen that doesn’t feel quite right. Even if it looks like it’s from Google.

Cyber criminals know that the fastest way into a business is often through the everyday devices employees use. Staying alert to these tricks is just as important as having strong firewalls and antivirus in place.

Be honest, if a browser pop-up told you to “install this app to continue”, would you pause and think twice, or would you just click?

🤚 STOP. If you video call using Zoom or Microsoft Teams, you need to be wary.

New research shows that attackers can hide inside those calls to sneak data out of your company.

Researchers have revealed a technique they’ve called 'Ghost Calls'.

Here’s how it works in simple terms:

When you join a Teams or Zoom call, your device gets a temporary set of credentials to connect to the meeting.

Hackers can hijack those credentials and use them to build a secret tunnel between your compromised computer and their own systems.

The dangerous bit?

All the traffic is then routed through Zoom or Teams’ servers.

And because those servers are trusted and usually whitelisted by company firewalls, the malicious traffic looks exactly like normal video call traffic. To the security systems, it’s invisible.

Zoom has already introduced some mitigations to make this attack harder, but the risk isn’t going away completely.

Your takeaway is clear: Even tools you completely trust, like Teams and Zoom, can be abused by attackers once they have a foothold in your systems.

Strong endpoint security, monitoring for unusual behaviour, and limiting what data devices can access are all critical steps in reducing the risk.

'Ghost Calls' are a reminder that cyber criminals will always find creative ways to blend in with normal activity. The question is whether your business is prepared to spot the unusual before it does damage.

Do you feel confident that your business could detect an attacker hiding inside something as ordinary as a Zoom or Teams call?

🎨 You can now change the colour of your folders in OneDrive!

At first glance, it might seem like a small, cosmetic feature. But it’s surprisingly useful.

Think about how you’d use different coloured binders or sticky notes in the office to quickly spot the right project.

This is the digital version of that.

By giving each folder its own colour, you can make important projects stand out instantly, cut down on the time you spend scanning through a long list of identical-looking folders, and create a workspace that feels more organised and personal.

Changing a folder’s colour in OneDrive on Windows is simple.

Just make sure OneDrive is running, then right-click the folder you want to change.

Under the OneDrive menu you’ll see an option for “Folder Colour.”

Pick the shade that works best for you, and OneDrive will sync that choice across your supported devices.

If you’re using OneDrive for Business, you can even do the same thing in the web version.

When your digital space is easier to navigate, your day flows a little smoother. And in business, those little efficiency wins matter!

❌ Windows 10 Support has officially ended. Are you yet to upgrade?

Staying on Windows 10 puts you at risk of cyber threats, compliance issues, and even performance slowdowns.

Making the move to Windows 11 isn’t just about avoiding problems; it’s about opening the door to faster systems, stronger security, and tools designed for modern businesses.

The sooner you upgrade, the smoother the transition. Put it off for too long, and you'll risk downtime, stress, and hidden costs you could have avoided.

At Breeze, we’ll help you move to Windows 11 without the headache, so your business keeps running, your data stays safe, and your team barely notices the change.

Ready to talk about your upgrade options? Let’s get it sorted together.

⚠️ Let's say suddenly ALL your systems go down.

NO emails
NO files
NO customer data

There's no way to receive messages. No way to reply to messages. You and your team are unable to access proposals, quotes, contracts, project work...the lot.

Before you know it, days go by, and there's still no fix.

Deadlines are missed. Customers are angry. And you’ve lost hours of productivity and trust.

Many businesses don’t realise how dependent they are on their systems until it's too late.

You need backups. You need to regularly test your software. And more importantly, you need to plan for recovery.

If you don't, or your incompetent IT provider does not do any of this for you...then it could be 'lights out' completely.

Businesses that PREPARE are businesses that SURVIVE.

If you have yet to establish a recovery plan for when things go really wrong, we can help. We'll pressure-test your set-up and identify the weak links before they become a crisis.

🫵 Be honest. Do you still have at least one password that looks like “12345” or “password123”?

If so, you’re not alone.

But that doesn’t mean it’s OK.

Despite years of warnings from IT experts (people like me), weak passwords are still everywhere. And that’s a real problem. Because they’re one of the easiest ways for cyber criminals to break into your business systems.

One of the most common business passwords is still “123456”.

Right behind it? “123456789”, “password”, and even the ever-popular “qwerty123”.

These aren’t just lazy choices. They’re open doors for hackers.

A single stolen password can let an attacker access your email, files, financial systems, or even customer data.

The damage? It can be serious. Both financially and to your reputation.

You might think, “But we don’t have anything worth stealing.”

Trust us, you do.

Even if you’re a team of five, your accounts, client data, and communications are all valuable targets. Cyber criminals don’t discriminate. They go for easy wins. And weak passwords are the easiest win there is.

So… what can you do to protect your business?

Start by making sure everyone uses strong, unique randomly generated passwords. That means longer phrases with a mix of letters, numbers, and symbols. Nothing predictable.

Nobody wants to remember 30 complex passwords. That’s where a password manager comes in. It can create super-strong passwords for every login and store them securely, so your team doesn’t have to rely on memory (or sticky notes).

Better still, consider enabling two-factor authentication. That’s the thing where you get a code on your phone or app when logging in. Even if someone does steal a password, they can’t get in without that second code. It’s one of the easiest and most effective ways to add a layer of protection.

At the end of the day, strong passwords - or better, password alternatives - are your first line of defence. Don’t wait for a security scare to take them seriously.

If your team is still using “abc123”, now’s the time for a change!
