Most people who rely on it love Teams. There’s no disputing that.

But it can be frustrating. Such as the way it opens automatically when you start up your Windows 11 computer. It’s really simple to change; our new video shows you how.

It’s no secret that some applications are a little too interested in us and what we’re doing. We’ve all had this experience. You might be talking to a friend about a new product that you’d like to try. Or perhaps you’ve discussed somewhere you’d like to visit.

Spam emails. Everyone hates them. It’s not just the emotional pain of clearing spam from your inbox. Having to do that is a real productivity killer, too. A recent report found that each one of your employees could be losing up to 80 hours each year, thanks to filtering and deleting spam emails.

It feels like every day we’re being warned about a new threat to our cybersecurity, doesn’t it?  That’s for good reason. Last year, ransomware attacks alone affected 81% of US businesses. And the cost of cybercrime is estimated to hit $10.5 trillion by 2025, according to the ‘2022 Cybersecurity Almanac’.

But we’re still seeing far too many businesses that aren’t taking this threat seriously.

Ransomware is one of the fastest growing cybercrimes in the world. Last year, 37% of businesses were victim to an attack. In case you didn’t know, a ransomware attack is where cyber criminals infiltrate your network (or device) and steal your data by encrypting it.

Now ‘Do Not Disturb’ means just that.

Can you imagine having hours to accomplish your most important tasks, without any distractions from your team. What a dream!

A major update to Windows 11 will help you work with zero distractions. Checkout our new video to find out how.

Early on in the first lockdowns in 2020, did you ever sit at your computer and think “I really like working from home”?  Or were you the opposite; desperate to get back into a building and meet with other people like in the old days?

Whichever was the case – and whether you feel the same now – we’ve ended up with a mix of the two: Hybrid working.

No-one likes passwords. Creating them. Remembering them. Typing them in.
Your whole mood can change when an application you’re using suddenly logs you out, and you have to go through login all over again. It’s frustrating for everyone.

So, here’s some very welcome news, courtesy of Microsoft, Apple, and Google.

The use of Microsoft Teams has just exploded in the last few years, and it now boasts 270 million people using it every month. Of course, it was the right tool at the right time when we all rushed to working from home at the start of the pandemic.

But the growth of Teams has continued, even if some believe the growth has slowed down a little recently.
