If it ain't broke... Windows update makes signing out simple again
Microsoft recently made changes to the Windows Start menu – and it caused a bit of an uproar.
Here’s what happened: Microsoft tried to streamline the Start menu by grouping related settings together. But they tucked the sign out option behind a three-dot menu, creating confusion for people trying to log out of their accounts.
Thankfully, Microsoft has listened to feedback and is now testing an update to put the sign out button back to where it was before.
This is good news for teams that have multiple profiles set up on one computer, making it easier to switch between accounts again.
These changes are part of a broader update to Windows 11 that’s currently being tested. The update will also bring in new features like media controls on the lock screen for when you’re playing music or videos, as well as the ability to share files directly from your search results.
These updates are great examples of small changes that can have a really positive impact on how your team works.
Is it time for you to move your business to Windows 11? We can help get you started, get in touch.

Our Services
Our managed IT services provide your business with complete peace of mind as our team of professionals take care of managing, monitoring, maintaining, and maximizing your IT assets for you.
Managing
Our support team continuously maintains your hardware and software with recent patches and updates and remains available to remotely support your team. Whether it’s a staffing change, ‘how-to’ question, or troublesome error message, we’ll be here ready to assist you.
Monitoring
We monitor your IT assets in real time with strategic alerts that help our team ensure your IT investments are stable and available for use by your business. A fire department without smoke alarms can only reply once they see smoke in the distance; our advanced monitors help us catch those fires before they have even begun.
Maintaining
It is a major challenge to stay on top of everything going on in a network. Protocols change, updates are required, and new concerns need to be addressed as they arise. It’s a major time sink. Instead of struggling through it yourself, we manage and adjust your IT assets proactively to ensure optimal performance and security, providing you and your business with complete peace of mind.
Maximizing
We help you get the most out of your IT assets by making sure they are always running optimally and according to the best standards of the industry. This performance tuning can help your business squeeze that little bit extra out of what it already has and take advantage of new technologies as they become available.

Q:
Do you offer different levels of support?
Absolutely! We have various support plans tailored to your needs, from basic to premium packages. Some organizations need everything and the kitchen sink too!

We make sure to adjust everything for you on our side of the coin so that you can continue to operate your business in a way that best serves you and your team.
Q:
Do you offer both hardware and software solutions?
Yes, we offer a wide range of hardware and software solutions tailored to your business needs.

Q:
What information do you need from us to begin?
We'll need details about your project goals, requirements, and any existing systems in place. Often times it can be a little overwhelming to distill what an organization's needs are.
