MC837081 announces that the Microsoft 365 admin center is to lose its ability to send password in email after updating a user account. It’s the right thing to do because sending passwords in email is bad practice and encourages people to treat passwords with less respect than they should. The long term solution is to move away from passwords, but it will take time before Microsoft 365 is passwordless.

Hi,

we are developing app for our customer, where we interact with document library.
It recently passed 5000 items and switched to throttle mode. Im now trying to solve displaying items in our app, so they can interact with it.

This is the main query for data:

“dataSource”: “${SP.Web.AbsoluteUrl}/_api/web/lists/getByTitle(‘PublicDocuments’)/items?$select=ID,Folder,**A lot of selects**&$expand=Editor,File,ContentType&$orderby=Code desc&$filter=Folder eq ‘${QueryString.Path}/’ and State ne ‘Replaced’ and ContentType eq ‘Document’&$top=5000”,

All the fields used in order and filter are indexed. Currently it contains around 5050 documents and this query should return around 2800 – I tested that using Excel, where I exported the query from the Document library, opened it in Excel and selected respective fields as in the filter.

We cannot pinpoint source of the SPQueryThrottle Exception.

On folders with less documents it works just fine.

After upgraded to Windows 11, the new Notepad and other MS apps I use I observed the new functionality to save the file and to have it after restart, even if not saved. That’s ok.

But, using daily notepad, and typing a lot sometimes in it, I observed a bug recently. Because I blind-type, I observed when typing some characters did not appear, even if I certainly typed them. 
Normally I just ignored and insisted to type the missing character(s). But after a time because this phenomenon repeated, I tried to view what can be the problem. In MS Word all normal. But in notepad it kept not registering some characters …and that randomly, not because maybe I have a keyboard problem. Not at all. I tested that also. As I said, in MS Word all normal, but in notepad not. 
I observed also that the spell check works in the new notepad, but you don’t have the possibility to activate/deactivate or simply change the language from the app config. I assume they are simply inherited from the Windows 11 general configs.
So after that, I supposed that this could be the problem. More exactly the source of the problem could be the spell-check. And I explain. 
For a simple test, I made a new notepad file and in that new notepad file I didn’t had typing problem …till some time. 
I say this, because I use a “note” notepad file every day, adding things always on top of it. So after some time it became big (at least big for a notepad point of view). 
So I suppose the typing problem in notepad is …when it became big the spellcheck is allways trying to recheck all content and till not finishing the recheck the typing doesn’t work normally (because in background the system is “occupied” with something else that is prioritized – i.e. with spell checking all the big file content).
I assume that in MS Word the things are differently, and it does not recheck allways all the content, or maybe has different resources allocated for that process so that it doesn’t kill, or suspend sometimes, the typing process.
Corect me if I am wrong.
But that is what I observed.

PS. As a solution for me for that, I began to use for the big files the MS Word again, and for notepad olnly small files or opening new file for typing something ocassionally and then just copy/paste what I just typed back in the big file.

Hello everyone,

I’m new to the community and would greatly appreciate any assistance. Could any MCT help me generate a free Azure subscription code so I can practice and deploy the code I’ve written for learning? Your help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

I am trying to sort (using SORTBY) a filter array on two columns, one which is value derived from another of the columns in the range being filtered.  I get an error saying that there’s a circular reference — which there is.

To be more specific:  I have 3 columns, a word list, the date the word was added, and a column indicating (by 1 or 0) a “rating” for the word.

One of the sorting columns is the date column.  It’s value is based on an XLOOKUP to a chart of words and the date they were added.  Some words have blank dates (unknown). So the date column is derived from the word list column.

Filtering the list on the rating indicator works, but when I try to sort by the looked-up date column, I get the error.

Thanks to anyone who can say how to fix this problemand sort the filtered results by 2 columns.

I have installed a Surface Hub 3 (updated with compute cartridge) using Autopilot and followed the guide to Teams auto-login (Deploy Surface Hub with Windows Autopilot & Teams Rooms Auto-login – Surface Hub | Microsoft Learn) but the device doesn’t (apparently) retrieve the user from the Teams Pro Management Portal and doesn’t auto-login. 

I don’t have any Intune configuration that prevents local login (only Defender configuration).

Any suggestions on how to get auto-login working properly??
