Although technical support for Windows 10 ended on October 14, 2025, its functionality has not been disabled. Currently, Microsoft promises to “release a series of free security patches for another year to keep its users’ data protected.”

The company has stated that the effort is focused on improvements in stability and backups. However, it clarified that “these are solely security fixes to protect the system from potential cyberattacks by malware and other viruses that could seriously affect sensitive documents.”

The update released by Microsoft is version KB5078885 for builds 19045.7058 and 19044.7058. The update package addresses specific security vulnerabilities to mitigate risks, while also focusing on improving the quality of service.

It is accompanied by the Windows 11 update KB5079473 (released Tuesday, March 10), which resolves issues in File Explorer and more.

Other features of the update include: a warning dialog box in the Windows System Image Manager; improved file history during backups; a fix for a graphics stability issue; and expanded coverage for selected devices to automatically receive new Secure Boot certificates and replace older ones.

The company has emphasized the need for users to be enrolled in the Extended Security Updates (ESU) program to continue receiving operating system updates. The subscription is free for the first year until October 14, 2026, after which a monthly fee will be required.

Microsoft decided to say goodbye to the Office brand and bundle office applications into the new Microsoft 365 app, which will take on a new look and add new features.

The technology company announced the new Microsoft 365 application (different from the cloud platform with the same name), which “in the coming months” will replace services currently available under the Office name: Office.com, the Office mobile app and the Office app for Windows.

This name change, which includes a new icon, a new look and new features, will begin to materialize in November with Office.com, and will be completed in January with its arrival in the mobile and Windows applications.

The change will be automatic, as confirmed by the company on the page of the new app, and will incorporate new templates, new modules to discover tools or anchor the most used ones and new ways of organizing jobs with custom labels, among other new features.

For Microsoft, the new Microsoft 365 ‘app’ is “the starting point to experiment” with the tools it includes, such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook, while the Microsoft 365 subscription gives access to a cloud platform with more apps, more features, and more storage.

Germany’s data centers are getting more powerful, as their capacity grew by 84 percent between 2010 and 2020, measured by the maximum electricity consumption of installed hardware, the Borderstep institute in Berlin reported today. Energy consumption also increased, although not at the same rate because the energy efficiency of equipment improved, according to the main results of the Borderstep study, commissioned by the digital association Bitkom.

The energy demand of the data processing centers in Germany grew in those ten years from 10.5 billion to 16 billion kilowatt hours, which meant an increase of 52.4 percent. In this way, the energy demand of these centers represented in 2020 0.6 percent of the total energy consumption of Germany.

According to the study, greenhouse gas emissions caused by the country’s smaller data centers and computing facilities have decreased since 2018. With nearly six million tons of carbon dioxide (CO2), in 2020 they returned to the same 2010 level.

Climate neutrality

“Data center operators support the government’s goal, which foresees climate neutrality for all new data centers in Germany from 2027,” said Bitkom CEO Bernhard Rohleder. “However, this can only be successful if enough electricity is available from renewable sources,” he noted.

The report indicates that it was not just the number of facilities and the number of servers and network components installed there that grew. According to Borderstep calculations, installed computing capacity in data centers has increased nearly fivefold per kilowatt hour of electricity consumed since 2010.  The increase in capabilities is mainly explained by the growth of cloud computing. More and more companies are no longer running their own data center, but are instead drawing storage space and computing power from the Internet.

The Borderstep study defines a data center as one that comprises at least ten “racks” or cabinets of servers or has a connected load of more than 40 kilowatt hours. The smallest IT facilities, with individual server racks and the smallest server rooms, are not considered data centers in the strict sense.

According to the report, there are around 3,000 data centers and around 47,000 smaller computing facilities in Germany.

Gtd Colombia will invest 20 million dollars in the installation of a 6,200-square-meter data center with a network deployment of more than 500 kilometers that will significantly increase storage and computing capacities in the region.

The information was provided by Fernando Maturana, general manager of Gtd Colombia, which is a company with more than 40 years of experience in the telecommunications market that maintains operations in different countries such as Spain, Chile, Peru, Ecuador and Colombia.

Maturanda pointed out that the company carried out an evaluation of the different cities where the investment could be made and the study determined that Barranquilla has the ideal characteristics for the installation and development of these telecommunications projects.

Strategic location

Barranquilla, the capital of the Atlantic, has a great growth and development of commercial activities, with a privileged location for the promotion of telecommunications projects, specifically those related to data storage because it presents a “high connectivity with redundancy, aligned time zone with the USA and the entry of 4 submarine cables”.

In addition, the city has a great potential for “solar and wind energy” that makes it an attraction for international organizations that are looking for renewable energy sources. Also, its proximity to the Magdalena River facilitates the installation of cooling systems necessary to supply cooling to data centers.

Omar Téllez, high councilor for Technology and Entrepreneurship of the District, highlighted the reasons of the city to lead the digital transformation of the country with the execution of this megaproject. He explained that the increase in demand for “data transfer throughout South America” ​​generates the need to create “hyper scale data centers.”

Among other factors that make Barranquilla a strategic territory for the creation of data centers are: it has a diversified economy; it has a potential of 10 million consumers; it will have the most extensive underground electrical interconnection network in the country and is a “central point among the three current HSDC projects in Latin America, projected in Mexico, Brazil and Chile.”
