Welcome back to our Windows news recap, where we go over the top stories of the past week in the world of Microsoft’s flagship operating system.

Microsoft Teams will be making a comeback to the Microsoft Store

According to the Microsoft 365 Roadmap, the company is working on bringing Microsoft Teams back to the Microsoft Store, 4 years after the last time it was in the Store via Windows 10 S, which was later pulled. This should make it quicker for people to download Microsoft Teams on Windows, whilst also easing the process of keeping it up to date.

Two of the vulnerabilities, CVE-2021-3971, and CVE-2021-3972, were meant to be used during the manufacturing process, but these were accidentally left in in a non-deactivated state. Lenovo has now released patches for the flaws.

Radu Tyrsina has been a Windows fan ever since he got his first PC, a Pentium III (a monster at that time). For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web. Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they're looking for.
