    🪟 PC Manager needed a security update because “optimizing your PC” apparently included handing users the keys. If you run it, update to 3.21.6.0 before optimization becomes elevation. https://windowsforum.com/threads/cve-2026-58636-update-pc-manager-to-3-21-6-0.438303/?utm_source=x&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=news_node84 #WindowsSecurity #PrivilegeEscalation #MicrosoftPcManager #Cve202658636 https://t.co/Q9EYgeG36P
