Unable to Connect to Microsoft Learn Profile
Hello Microsoft Community,
I hope you’re doing well. I’m currently experiencing difficulty accessing my Microsoft Learn profile. Despite trying different browsers, I’m consistently encountering the same issue.
Whenever I attempt to log in, I’m unable to proceed successfully. I’ve tried accessing my profile through multiple browsers, but the problem persists.
Could someone please advise me on how to resolve this issue or direct me to the appropriate resources? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance for your help.

Refresh PowerQuery table gives #REF
Hi everyone,
I have created a table in Excel through PowerQuery. I expanded the table with additional formula columns that also refer to the query input columns using the table column headers (for example [@[column 1]] ). The issue is that when the query is being refreshed, the referring columns receive a #REF error. A Google search to similar issues recommended to turn on the “overwrite cells with new data” function. However, I did not have luck with this.
Does anyone know that whether my approach is possible or do I have to look for a workaround?

Can I change what time of day the booking system becomes available to users?
MS bookings, by default sets this to midnight with no visible option to change the time, which means our users stay up to midnight in order to access the very limited services we have throughout the year. I could look at changing timezones, but I feel that I will be moving the issue elsewhere?

Excel protect ranges
Hello all,
I have one Excel file with several work sheets, in the first one I have several hyperlinks for each of the page, with different names, so hyperlink to John will directly open worksheet for John.
I need to send to all team and each of them must have the access only to his own hyperlink / page, not the other, so question:
It’s possible to block parts of the first worksheet with different passwords, meaning I’ll create a password for each user, then when they press the hyperlink with his name, the Excel will ask for the password and allow only that specific cellule / hyperlink.
I tried with “Allow Edit Ranges” but is not working.
Can some of you help me, please?
thank you

Outlook for Mac calendar reminder does not pop up when it needs to
Hey everyone,
I’m encountering a peculiar issue with my MacOS X Samona and Outlook for Mac.
Main goal is to make the Reminder pop-up appear and remind me of a meeting.
The problem is as follows:
I have a Google Workspace Account configured on my Outlook.
I have a meeting in my Outlook calendar
When the time comes for a reminder to pop up, nothing happens.
When I focus Outlook (it’s already opened ) and choose the calendar, the reminder pops up.
My current workaround is to import all my calendars into the Mac calendar app, which sends me notifications for upcoming meetings.
I reinstalled it completely, cleaned everything with App Cleaner, removed everything left off in the Library, and tested a bunch of suggestions in some forums. Nothing is still this issue. I’ve been using Outlook for Mac for over ten years and have experienced such a case for the first time.
Currently, I’m searching for a way to troubleshoot it like:
– Close all apps except Outlook
– Open Apple “Console” app and filter by Outlook
– Set a meeting after 1 minute and put a reminder “on startup”
– Wait for that minute and try to catch something from the log
– The Reminder GUI window does not pop up.
Here is the log:

Inline YAML editing with Microsoft Copilot in Azure
YAML is a popular format for defining configuration files, especially for cloud-native applications that run on Kubernetes. However, writing and maintaining YAML files can be challenging, as they are prone to errors, hard to read, and require a lot of manual work. In today’s video, we’re showing Microsoft Copilot in Azure, a powerful AI assistant that among many other things, helps you write better YAML files faster and easier.
The video above showcases how to use Copilot in Azure for YAML editing for applications being deployed to Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS)
The video features:
How to create a new YAML file for a deployment specification using Copilot. You will see how Copilot can generate the YAML code based on your natural language description, and how you can modify and customize the generated code using the inline editor.
How to format and validate your YAML file using Copilot. You will see how Copilot can automatically indent and align your YAML code, and how it can detect and fix common syntax and semantic errors in your YAML file.
How to understand and explain your YAML file using Copilot. You will see how Copilot can provide helpful comments and annotations for your YAML code, and how it can answer your questions about the YAML syntax and semantics using natural language.
How to open the chat for Copilot in Azure. You will see how you can access the Copilot chat window from the Azure portal, and how you can interact with Copilot using natural language commands and queries.
We hope you enjoy watching our video and learning how to use Copilot in Azure for YAML editing. We believe that Copilot can make your YAML development experience more productive and enjoyable. To learn more about Copilot in Azure, you can check out the documentation page.
Let us know what you think about Copilot in Azure and share your feedback with us in the comments section below.

Is there a way to manually control and delay drawing with ‘nexttile’, similar to how ‘subplot’ behaves, to improve plotting performance?
Problem:When using subplot in a loop, MATLAB only updates the figure at the end, unless drawnow is called each iteration, making it faster. With nexttile, the figure updates immediately for each tile, slowing down the process. Using drawnow limitrate helps but isn’t ideal.

Entra Private network Connector very slow compared to direct access using pass-through
I have a web based application with a backend SQL server attached to it. We have both internal and external users accessing it. Internal users go directly to the https website, while external users go through the application proxy.
After logging in, and open a project which fires off a SQL query, there is a huge delay when going through the proxy that i cant figure out why.
Internally looking up a project takes between 10-20 sec depending on the size of the project, while using the same method and same project through the proxy we are waiting 1-2 minutes for the same result.
The old server is running in a DMZ sone, and i want to replace this with a app proxy based server, but being so slow I’m not able to move forward.
Any ideas what to look for?

The Curiously Unfinished Outlook Settings API
The Outlook settings API is a unfinished Graph API that can read and update some but not all mailbox settings. It’s a pity that the API is incomplete because it would be nice to have a comprehensive API that supported every mailbox setting, including some of the more recently introduced tweaks seen in OWA. The current state of the Outlook settings API is usable but not for much, but at least it can update mailbox auto-reply settings.
