My favorite bit of the article is this (also not a professional)

“The engineer then tapped a third party specializing in Microsoft cloud security to act as an intermediary. The intermediary relayed a response from Microsoft recommending STS be turned off when the server receives reliable timekeeping through the Network Time Protocol.”

Microsoft is bad enough that they know it’s an issue and basically said “we aren’t going to fix it, and we won’t tell you directly or make the issue known to avoid problems, but just turn it off”

Honestly should be their official motto. They did the same thing with a vulnerability installaware addressed for them last year.

If windows doesn’t work the way it should, just turn it off (forever, and install Linux).
