Microsoft has rolled out KB5066198 — the final optional update for Windows 10 that doesn’t include any security patches. Released in September 2025, the update addresses two specific issues.
The first fix resolves a known bug affecting file sharing via the outdated SMBv1 protocol over NetBIOS (NetBT). This issue emerged after users installed KB5065429 and were unable to connect to shared files or folders.
The second bug fix concerns Windows Autopilot. On systems running Windows 10 version 22H2, the Enrollment Status Page (ESP) sometimes failed to load during initial setup (OOBE), causing deployment issues for IT administrators.
You can install the update via Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update, or download it from the Microsoft Update Catalog.
Mainstream support for Windows 10 ends on October 14, 2025. After that, only users enrolled in extended security programs will receive regular patches. However, general users can continue receiving free security updates for one year, provided they sign in with a Microsoft account. Third-party tools like 0patch may offer extended protection for up to five years.

On-the-Go Power: Japanese Engineers Develop Wireless In-Road Charging for Electric Vehicles
10 Oct. 08:10In a major leap for electric mobility, Honda R&D, alongside Taisei Corporation and Taisei Rotec, has unveiled an innovative dynamic wireless charging system that charges electric vehicles as they drive. By embedding compact energy-transmitting modules directly into the road surface, the system transfers power via a magnetic field to receivers mounted underneath moving vehicles. Designed to withstand heavy commercial transport up to 20 tons, real-world road testing is scheduled to begin in Japan in April 2027.
The technology eliminates the need for full road reconstruction, as modules can be integrated directly into milled asphalt layers. Aimed at boosting charging power up to 150 kW in future iterations, this infrastructure solution promise to significantly reduce grid pressure on traditional charging stations, particularly for logistics and commercial fleets.
