Windows forgets password
“After installing Windows 10 Version 2004 Build 19041.173 and
related updates you will find that Outlook and other applications do
not remember your password anymore,” explained the firm.
“The
issue occurs when some Windows 10 Task Scheduler tasks are
configured in a certain way. Until a fix is available, a workaround
is to disable these tasks using Task Scheduler.”To implement the
temporary fix, right-click the Start Menu, select Windows PowerShell
(Admin) and enter the following command:
“Get-ScheduledTask
| foreach { If (([xml](Export-ScheduledTask -TaskName $_.TaskName -TaskPath
$_.TaskPath)).GetElementsByTagName("LogonType").'#text' -eq "S4U") {
$_.TaskName } }”

Ransom repair tools?
The No More Ransom (NMR) Project from Europol. The European ce is a support service for the law enforcement agencies of the EU Member States. The NMR service is very quick and easy to use. You simply upload an encrypted file and/or the ransom note and it will tell you whether your data can be unlocked for free.
ID Ransomware (IDR) is the other service. It is very similar to NMR (from Europol) and was created by one of the folks from Emsisoft, Michael Gillespie, in his free time. He received an award from the FBI for his efforts.

SSL cert
Contrary to various articles, we found installing the certificate a bit more challenging. After purchasing and downloading the key and cert 'generated' text files and the .cer and .p7b files, create by importing p7b cert panel (MMC) which ends up in personal folder where it is useless. Look in Cert Enrollment folder for the import and THERE you can export with the key attached. Once exported, install it in the root folder
