3 ways modern devices empower employee innovation
The AI age is here. 79% of leaders surveyed in the latest Microsoft Work Trend Index Annual Report agree their company needs to adopt AI to stay competitive. But 68% of employees surveyed said they struggle with the pace and volume of work. Employees don’t have time to innovate with new technologies like AI when they’re bogged down by repetitive tasks run on old devices. And that’s how companies get left behind as competitors charge forward with advances shaped by next-generation technology.
To drive value in this era of rapid change, employees need tools that remove productivity roadblocks and clear the way for creativity and innovation. Modern devices incorporate new AI experiences, versatile design, and streamlined security and management tools to do just that. Let’s look at three ways modern devices, like the latest from Microsoft Surface, can empower employees to stay competitive in the AI age.
#1: Power productivity
The demands of modern work stand in the way of employee productivity. In Microsoft 365 apps, users spend 60% of their time on emails, chats, and meetings—leaving only 40% of their time for creation apps.[i]
Modern devices help reduce these repetitive but often necessary tasks, leaving more time to focus on creating value, particularly through AI-enabled software and hardware. Take the Copilot key available on Surface Pro 10 and Surface Laptop 6. With just the tap of a key, employees gain quick access to Copilot in Windows, an AI assistant that provides personalized support and insights. Beyond that, AI-accelerated Windows Studio Effects combined with high-quality cameras and microphones help make meetings more engaging and keep employees in a collaborative flow.
Modern devices also unleash productivity with enhanced processing power so employees can tackle demanding AI workloads across CPU, GPU, and a new neural processing unit (NPU). Improved functionality and more efficient battery life mean employees spend less time managing their devices and more time on the work that matters.
#2: Simplify IT management and strengthen security
Employees and the IT teams that manage the device fleet also often grapple with security roadblocks and downtime related to updates and deployments. Every interruption costs employees valuable time, while manual work for IT teams means less bandwidth for higher-value, strategic initiatives. Older devices can’t handle the pressures of the modern threat landscape, where the number of known vulnerabilities has been growing steadily.[ii]
Modern devices like Microsoft Surface help simplify IT management in the cloud, giving IT teams more control over their device fleets. Chip-to-cloud security enhances security and protects against vulnerabilities. With secured, up-to-date devices, employees not only have more time but also peace of mind that their work and data is protected.
#3: Future-proof your business
Older devices add time and cost to businesses in other ways, with a lack of accessibility features, design limitations, and performance constraints. By investing in modern devices that align with employees’ needs, businesses can future-proof their workforce, giving them the tools they need to achieve rapid innovation.
AI capabilities in modern devices help employees produce high-quality work in less time, so they can meet tomorrow’s challenges with ease. And as future workloads continue to demand more processing power, modern devices must bring software and hardware together for a more efficient and secure device-to-cloud experience. Local AI processing with built-in NPUs can help reduce latency while keeping data protected at the device level.
Surface Pro 10 and Surface Laptop 6 use Intel® Core™ Ultra processors, which are purpose-built to support the new era of AI software for businesses, with the power to tackle heavy workloads with low latency. The Copilot+ PCs from Surface, meanwhile, use Snapdragon® X Elite and Plus processors and integrate the power of Surface devices, Copilot, and Windows 11 into an accessible solution that helps employees use their computers more easily and efficiently.
Enable innovation with Microsoft Surface devices
Microsoft Surface devices such as Surface Laptop 6, Surface Pro 10, and Surface Copilot+ PCs help empower employees and drive innovation in this new AI era.

Why is there no “if” condition for a “switch” block in generated code?
I am using MATLAB R2024a with Embedded Coder. In my Simulink model, I have a "Switch" that chooses between two signals. I found the code for the "Switch" block in the generated code. However, it does not contain an "if" statement, and it always sets the output signal to the same value:
/* Switch: ‘<Root>/Switch’ incorporates:
* Inport: ‘<Root>/In1’
*/
outSignal = myInput1;
I want the code to switch between the two signals I send into the "Switch" block like so:
/* Switch: ‘<Root>/Switch’ incorporates:
* Inport: ‘<Root>/In1’
* RelationalOperator: ‘<S1>/Compare’
*/
if (controlSignal) < 0)

Access Front-end Switches to Read-only
Split application with FEs on twelve Windows 11 workstations; BE on local network server. At random times, on only one workstation, the FE will not allow data edits. The folder and content within the folder will not be marked as Read-only.
Install a new FE and the problem will return almost immediately, or in the last event, after two weeks of use. And the switch to read-only took place while the user was working in the app. At other times the app will be closed after successful use, then be in a read-only state when re-opened.
The culprit workstation has Office 365, accounting app, several industry-specific apps, and a Panini Check Reader attached. Windows/Office 365 updates are handled by an outside IT firm, and I’m told they are current. OneDrive is switched off; all work is local.
Any input would be appreciated.

How to have Excel Formula(s) restructure data in a report
I work at a university. I am pulling a system-generated excel report that looks like the image below:
System-generated report
I am needing to plugin formula(s) that will restructure this data to look like the cells between A10:I14 in the image below:
Desired Result
The problems I am facing:
1. I can have the first value to return correctly in Columns B (Fund Code 1) and C (Fund Amount 1). For Column B11 I just say [=if(b2>0,b1,if(c2>0,c1,if(d2>0,d1,if(e2>0,e1,””))))]. For C11 I say [=IF(B11=B1,B2,IF(B11=C1,C2,IF(B11=D1,D2,IF(B11=E1,E2))))]. These go down the row to look for the first cell with value. Where I am getting stuck is getting the second or third value to show up in Fund Code 2 and Fund Code 3 respectively. I need each student’s second fund to appear in the same column even if the fund is not the same and not originally in the same column. This is also just a small subset of the report. I need to be able to do this on a large scale consisting of thousands of names and up to 70 different scholarships. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

The future of Microsoft Teams in VDI
Today we embark on another chapter of the Microsoft Teams story in VDI, with the public preview of a new optimization architecture that brings closer alignment between physical and virtual desktops.
Last year we released a fully revamped Teams app, built on the premise of speed, performance, flexibility, and intelligence, providing a foundation for game-changing new AI-powered tools. Now we are bringing a new media engine that will elevate the user experience in virtual desktops with new features, and further quality, performance and reliability improvements.
Before Microsoft embarked on this journey, we listened to several years’ worth of customer feedback. We collated info from tech support cases. We discussed with IT Admins how they troubleshot. Many of these learnings were incorporated gradually into the existing optimization architecture, stabilizing the platform and paving the way for the transition to the next generation of our technologies. Then, we reviewed our roadmap delivery in the past years, and extrapolated the work required for upcoming features and how we could release them faster.
As a result, Teams in VDI has been re-architected from the ground up, along four major pillars. In this post I will share insights into the goals and expected benefits of the modularization and decoupling that have been implemented for VDI customers.
The public preview applies to Azure Virtual Desktops / Windows 365 and Citrix DaaS/CVAD, for Windows endpoints.
(News will follow shortly for our VMware customers).
Benefits of the new VDI solution for Teams
Additional features: New media engine that replaces WebRTC, called SlimCore (which is the native media engine used today in the new Teams desktop client) will allow parity between the native Teams app and VDI Teams. While not all new features can come day-one to VDI, we are no longer limited to what WebRTC supports, hence feature gaps can be closed quicker.
Performance improvements: The same quality and reliability you experience in native Teams client for Windows is now enabled for VDI. With this we are reducing time to join a meeting and call drops, higher success rate when creating or joining a meeting or screensharing, latest codecs and more.
Auto-updates and decoupling: Microsoft keeps SlimCore evergreen on the user’s device. Whenever you update new Teams on the virtual desktop, Microsoft updates the media engine transparently and automatically for the user (and the Admins), without prompts or reboots. Thanks to this mechanism we can guarantee higher quality since we avoid having newer Teams versions interact with outdated stacks in RD Host/Client or Citrix VDA/CWA. New features can be introduced in Teams+SlimCore directly, without upgrading your VDI infrastructure.
Streamlined support: With almost no dependency on VDI Partner’s stack, Admins only need to call Microsoft for any issues encountered, who owns the solution end to end. We reviewed the mean time-to-resolution of all the cases we had in the past and plotted a new course. We aim to reduce incident severity, frequency, and likelihood of service downtimes. And we are also doubling down investment on self-help / troubleshooting, with vast documentation on this topic.
Architecture
The new architecture has several key differences from the existing optimization, which relied heavily on our VDI Partner’s stack:
First, you should not expect any changes on new Teams: version 24124.2315.2911.3357 is already bundling all necessary code (vdiBridge in the diagram) for offloading Audio/Video/Screensharing to the new media engine.
The biggest changes are on the client-side. It has been very expensive for IT Admins to keep upgrading the Remote Desktop client or the Citrix Workspace app every time there was a new feature, and this was only exacerbated in BYOD.
To put this problem behind us for good, we are introducing a new client-side plugin (MsTeamsPlugin.dll in the diagram) responsible for virtual channel establishment with Teams on the Server (if you are a Citrix customer, don’t forget this Studio policy), and subsequently for media engine downloading.
Remote Desktop clients for Windows 1.2.5405 or Windows App 1.3.253 (or higher) are bundling this plugin already! Just upgrade to those versions are you are ready to go. And by enabling auto-update on the RD Client or Windows App, you always guarantee to have the latest plugin.
Citrix Workspace app for Windows 2402 can present a UI to the user for opt-in installation. Citrix IT Admins can also deploy this plugin (MSI-based installer) out-of-band on top of any CWA higher than 2203 LTSR / 2302 CR using this link. Global App Config Service is also a viable option for plugin deployments.
The deployment of the plugin is envisioned to be a one-time thing: we have limited the amount of code and logic on it so we can avoid asking customers to constantly upgrade it.
Once a plugin ‘makes it’ to the client, Teams will send instructions for the specific media engine version that it needs and the plugin will do the rest: it will contact Microsoft’s public CDN, download an MSIX package and automatically stage/register it on the user’s device. No reboots or Admin privileges!
Whenever you upgrade Teams on the Server, a new media engine version will be deployed on the client. No more upgrades required on your VDI stack (Server or Client). Plugins are backward and forward compatible with SlimCore versions, and Plugins will clean up unused or obsolete SlimCore versions as well.
Why is this important? Our telemetry showed that version drifts between Teams and deprecated media engines in the RD client / Citrix Workspace app that were not kept up-to-date (one, two or even three years behind sometimes!) were the main sources of issues / regressions.
In contrast, with the new optimization, we have Teams and SlimCore tidally locked, simplifying testing and aligning it with the exact combinations that customers will deploy.
Types of traffic handled by the new Media engine
There are some changes on this area, so make sure you have a conversation with your networking team. ID 11, 12, 47 and 127 must be reachable from the branch office.
On the endpoint, SlimCore is responsible for:
Interactive Connectivity Establishment (ICE) for STUN and TURN procedures
Real-time media (audio, video, screensharing) using SRTP (over UDP or TCP).
Where bandwidth isn’t limited, Teams optimizes media quality, including high-fidelity audio, up to 1080p video and screensharing resolution, and up to 30fps (frames per second) for video and content. All the same media codecs we use in the native Teams desktop client for Windows are now available for VDI. Hardware acceleration for GPU-enabled devices is also available. Customers looking to implement Quality of Service / DSCP marking on top of the media can now do so from Teams Admin Center.
Signaling (this is a key difference when compared to the existing WebRTC-based optimization) using UDP 3478 with fallback to HTTPS.
For more details, please visit Microsoft 365 URLs and IP address ranges – Microsoft 365 Enterprise | Microsoft Learn.
New features
On top of all the features that are already supported with the current WebRTC-based optimization, we are adding a long-awaited set of new ones:
Advanced meeting capabilities
Gallery view 3×3 and 7×7
Custom meeting backgrounds uploaded via Teams admin center
1080p
Include computer sound while sharing screen
Hardware acceleration on the endpoint
Presenter mode
Teams Premium (*)
Telephony and voice capabilities
Location-based routing and media bypass
Quality of Service (QoS)
Human Interface Device (HID)
Noise suppression
Better supportability
via Teams admin center
Call Quality Dashboard
(*) for a full list of Premium features that are supported/unsupported, please check out our official documentation
Get started today
Today marks a new era for VDI, we have started the rollout of the new optimization (it takes a few days to propagate to 100% of the users).
And we are just getting started.
As we progress from public preview to GA, we will continue to add more blogs about different topics (supportability and troubleshooting, performance, single server scalability testing, quality of service, and more).
I would encourage you to try out the new optimization architecture and share your thoughts with us. We look forward to hearing from you and helping you get the most out of Teams!

INDEX MATCH with MAXIFS?
Hey all. I’m working on some waiting lists, I’m a bit stuck on a formula that indentifies the longest waiter in a table who is still waiting.
I’ve got the first bit working, identifying the longest waiter and displaying their surname (table is called Apr24Apr25 and the PW column calculates the total wait times in days).
=INDEX(Apr24Apr25[Forename],MATCH(MAX(Apr24Apr25[PW]),Apr24Apr25[PW],0))
However now I want it to look at a column called Status (Apr24Apr25[Status]) and only look at the ones that say “Waiting”. Any ideas?
I always work by building the parts of a formula separately then putting them together, this is actually part of a bigger formula, I’ll paste it below in case it’s important.
=DATEDIF(0,AC623,”y”)&” years ” &DATEDIF(0,AC623,”ym”)&” months “&DATEDIF(0,AC623,”md”)&” days”&” (“&INDEX(Apr24Apr25[Forename],MATCH(MAX(Apr24Apr25[PW]),Apr24Apr25[PW],0))&” “&INDEX(Apr24Apr25[Surname],MATCH(MAX(Apr24Apr25[PW]),Apr24Apr25[PW],0))&”, “&INDEX(Apr24Apr25[Location],MATCH(MAX(Apr24Apr25[PW]),Apr24Apr25[PW],0))&”, row “&INDEX(ROW(Apr24Apr25),MATCH(MAX(Apr24Apr25[PW]),Apr24Apr25[PW],0))&”, referred for “&INDEX(Apr24Apr25[Referred For],MATCH(MAX(Apr24Apr25[PW]),Apr24Apr25[PW],0))&”)”

Onedrive annotations did not save, no synchronisation
I’ve been working on a file with onedrive pdf editor app on my tablet, but since 18th june, it didn’t synchronise. Whenever i exited the file, it sait “we save changes on the file” and it did, everytime i opened the file again, all of my changes were saved, tho it said that last edited on 18th june. Now i opened the file and every changes i made since then is lost. I even downloaded the file before that, but the unedited version downloaded. I’m on a mental breakdown rn, because i worked 10+ hours a day on it, and all is gone…please sy help how to recover these lost changes

New and Free Active Directory Domain Services Applied Skill Credential
Today Microsoft launched a brand new Applied Skill Credential related to Active Directory Domain Services Administration.
Here’s a video of me talking about it:
An applied skill is a hands on test where you perform a set of real world tasks based on a couple of scenarios.
The ability to administer Active Directory is a foundational skill required by and utilized on a daily basis by millions of organizations around the world. Even organizations that use Azure and Office 365 often have their identities synchronized to Entra from an on-premises Active Directory domain or forest.
Taking this 60 minute long free practical exam gives you a credential that’s useful if you are new to the industry and want to demonstrate that you have proficiency in Active Directory administration, it may also be useful if you’re in the market for a new role and want a quick signifier of competence for common AD administration tasks.
Here are some of the skills that might be examined in the Active Directory Administrator modern credential:
Deploy domain controllers
Transfer a FSMO role
Raise the functional level of a domain or forest
Create a new site and map it to a subnet
Move domain controllers between sites
Create a user account
Perform bulk management tasks for user accounts
Manage disabled users
Reset user passwords
Implement a group Managed Service Account (gMSA)
Create groups
Add users to groups, including privileged groups and Protected Users group
Create and manage organizational units
Recover items from the AD DS recycle bin
Create and configure Group Policy Objects (GPOs) in AD DS
Create and link a GPO
Configure Group Policy settings
Configure Group Policy scope and processing order
Manage security in AD DS
Delegate permissions in AD DS
Configure the domain password policy
Configure and apply a Fined Grained Password Policy
Configure auditing, including advanced audit policy
Configure user rights assignment by using group policy
We think that this will be useful to:
People new to the industry who want to validate their Active Directory admin skills.
Employers who want to validate that someone is ready to move into a role that includes Active Directory administrators.
Teachers at institutions where Windows Server Administration is part of the curriculum who want students to pass an assessment that gives them a verified credential from Microsoft.
We have a Microsoft Learn learning path that allows you to revise over all the objectives above by completing training modules. The last module includes a self paced lab where you perform exercises similar to the tasks you need to complete the practical examination. The module includes instructions showing you how to setting up your own lab environment using Eval versions of Windows Server and how to configure Hyper-V on Windows 10 or 11 and a NAT network to host the lab.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/training/paths/administer-active-directory-domain-services/
Finally here’s the link to the Active Directory Administration applied credential that you can take yourself for free.

Use Intel graphics card/driver for GPU programming on Matlab?
I’m seeking to run a code on my computer (Asus Zenbook, Windows 10) that uses GPU parallel computing.
