@Pirat_Nation Checked Resource Monitor and yep, atieclxx.exe is hammering my drive at ~1.2 MB/s even at idle. Disabled the AMD External Events Utility service for now. FreeSync and hotkeys are broken, but at least my SSD isnโt writing 100GB+ a day. AMD needs to push the fix faster than โsoonโ

โผ๏ธ Because of a RCE flaw in MS Paint Microsoft has shipped a new version of it. The flaw lets hackers take over a Windows PC without a single click.
It first patched the bug on 13 October. But sysadmins found the Microsoft Store kept handing out an older, vulnerable version of the drawing app.
Microsoft rates the flaw, CVE-2026-83844, 8.1 out of 10. It says an attacker needs no login and no help from the user. The Dutch cyber agency NCSC says the trigger is a specially crafted image.
