First spotted by Windows Recent, Microsoft has published a Warning users that its new security update (CVE-2019-2102) will intentionally "break" some Bluetooth devices, including critical hardware such as security keys, forcing them to upgrade.

The honorable intentions behind the change mean we can not group it with howlers like the Windows 10 bugs that deleted your personal data, manufactured Windows 10 decommission itself, broken application updates, paralyzed game performance or does chrome browsers up to 4x slower. That said, it's still not a good idea and it is unlikely that the hundreds of millions of users who still use Windows 7 will boot into Windows 10. & nbsp;
