New Sharepoint List form width issue
Hi, I have a Sharepoint list and I have customized the Sharepoint list form header and body with Json code. Recently due to change the Microsoft sharepoint forms it’s showing a small form in the middle without being connected to the page. Any way to go back to large form with width ? Any solution will be highly appreciated.

Zombie Default Access Request Management Group
Hi,
Our SharePoint default control group “Asset Management Admins” is deleted several months ago. However, in the Access Requests Settings, the system still set it as the default owner group. And since that group is deleted and no member exists inside, no one is receiving any access request.
Below image is all the groups of the SP site. As you can see, goup “Asset Management Admins” does not exist.
We did one experiment by creating a new control group having same group name as the deleted one. “Asset Management Admins”. Then we assigned a new developer as its group member. However, new access request does not go to that developer’s mail box, it goes to someone who was a member of the deleted group.
What’s the trouble of this issue?
The field below the default admin group only allows filling one email address to receive access request. This causes trouble when that person is out-of-office, and add extra SP maintenance workload.
How to change the default access management group?
or how to thoroughly delete the zombie “Asset Management Admin” group?
Any advice/ workaround is welcome!
Warm Regards,
Xuan

United States-International Keyboard
Hi,
I just moved from Windows 10 to 11. In W10 I used the US-International keyboard to enter characters like “a umlaut”. It was easy to do by typing a ” character and then the character itself. To type the ” character you just had to wait a bit. I used the keyboard to type in Finnish language, which uses “a umlaut”, and “o umlaut” characters (lower and upper case).
W11 does not seem to have a US-International language or keyboard. There is a MS note about adding the keyboard to W11, but it just talks about various features you can use to change your chosen language, nothing is mentioned about keyboards.
In another note I learned that I can enter an “a umlaut” by entering ALT-132 (the numeric keyboard numbers), but that is pretty cumbersome. So I tried the MS PowerToys Keyboard Manager app to set up a Remap Shortcut. But it seems that I can not enter the ALT-132 code to be sent, the app can only do a plain text, with no ALT key pressed, or to do only one character while ALT key is pressed.
So without going to some third party app, is there a solution in W11 for my problem? My alternative is to find some third party app that allows the mapping I need, but I would prefer to stay within the MS world.

Cloned SSD will not boot computer
Although a NVMe SSD is much faster than a SATA SSD, you only see the difference on the benchmark test. On old computers you can’t boot directly to the PCIe card with the NVMe SSD as there is no option on BIOS to do so. The EFI partition must be on a SATA drive and then transfer the boot sequence to the PCIe card。

Black screen upon login after KB5035853 install
Two days ago I did the March 2024 updates, including KB5035853, at the end of the day, with the computer completing a restart after installation.
The next morning I got the computer’s login screen, but upon entering the correct login credentials, the screen went black. I flailed away on some keys, and something I did caused a restart, again bringing me to the login screen – with everything looking normal – but then again, logging in made the screen go black.
After another restart, I logged into a seldom-used other account I have on the computer (meant to be used if it’s ever at a repair shop). That login took a while (I don’t think it’s ever been logged into since I went from Win10 to Win11 last year), but then I had a normal-looking desktop and functionality. I logged off of that, then logged back into my own account, and everything was normal again.
So that’s good, but what happened in the first place to cause the login to send me to a black screen? And why would logging into a different account on the computer fix the problem? And if I didn’t have that other account, what would I have done to fix the problem?

Issues with Windows 11 Pro Documents Folder Icon
I have a fresh installation of Windows 11 Pro, about a couple weeks old or so. The Documents folder was stubbornly stuck on OneDrive. I followed a YouTube video that showed how to move it successfully. Afterwards I removed OneDrive from startup but didn’t remove it altogether.
I won’t go into the details of my attempted fix. But the lingering side effect is the local Documents folder lacks an icon and will NOT even browse for an icon. I even have an extracted icon file, from imageres.dll, for the Documents folder. But the folder properties box on the Customize tab does not have the usual buttons (Choose File & Restore Default) to prompt for an icon change. I had those buttons yesterday, which didn’t work. But after tampering with the registry, even those buttons are gone.
The easiest option is to simply reinstall the OS from scratch. But then I’d lose a couple weeks of software installs and configurations. The other option is to live with it.
You can see the attached screenshots for more details. The Documents folder is not grouped to the other folders such as Downloads.
Hopefully someone can help?

The OLD, OLD, OLD INterener Explorer could do the above mentioned. Yet, after several years of complaining (some using curse words) about EDGE not being able to KEEP THE SELECT HISTORY SIDEBAR ITEM HIGHLIGHTED after you selected it then move yoiu mouse away, no one can tell why the developer(s) cannot had a selected state to a clicked history sidebar item TO SAY SELECTED until you select another one.
WHY you may ask: Having dozens of history item that you want to view again (usually items and prices for Amazon for me), you have NO WAY OF KNOWING WHERE THE HELL YOU LEFT OFF once you selcted a sidebar history item, move your mouse and then go back to select the next item WHERE YOU LEFT OFF !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dynamics 365 and Power Platform User Group Malta July Meetup
This is a great learning and networking opportunity, whether you are in Dynamics 365 CE, Finance and Operations, Business Central/NAV, or Microsoft Power Platform or an enthusiast of any of these platforms.
In this session will showcase Simple to Advanced strategies to make your Power Automate flows run lightning-fast. If you’re not careful, Power Automate can run slow leading to time-outs and impatient users. We’ll go over proven and saleable techniques that will be 10x the speed of your flows. Bonus! They’ll use much LESS code to accomplish the same thing. Speed and Tidiness together: Win-win.
We’ll use Dataverse, SharePoint, and Excel in the demos to make sure it applies to everyone’s work environment. We’ll also explore common pitfalls in Power Automate that lead to unexpected performance hiccups.

How to modify Surface Hub 2S Teams display name?
Hi everyone,
We’ve been asked to change the name that is displayed on the “quarter” teams windows that appears on Surface Hub 2S with Windows 10.
As you can see in this image we have the name MTR displayed on our Surface Hub 2S.
We’ve tried changing every setting we could find on the Hub, on the M365 Admin Center and through PowerShell commands but we didn’t manage to change it.
The only solution seems to reset the device with an USB drive altough it’s not optimal as it can take many hours to reset and update.
Can you help us?
Thank you in advance
Andrea

Seeking Insights on Security Considerations for Premium APK Files Body:
Hello Microsoft Tech Community,
I hope this message finds you well. I am currently researching security considerations related to premium APK files, particularly focusing on applications like Spotify Premium APK.
I would appreciate insights from the community on best practices for assessing the security risks associated with downloading and using premium APK files. Specifically, I’m interested in understanding how to identify potential malware, protect against vulnerabilities, and ensure safe usage within a Windows environment.
Any recommendations on tools, strategies, or industry standards for evaluating APK file integrity and security would be invaluable.

Split Pipeline json into separate files for every individual Pipeline activity (Code ILM)
Azure Data factory Pipeline
Currently a adf pipeline is stored a one big JSON file.
In order to copy a customized activity to a second pipeline in another branch, you need to edit the file, copy the exact lines code belonging to a activity, copy the code to the other pipeline, paste in exactly the right spot and re join the activities.
I propose to create a folder per pipeline and create nested folders for each activity. (similar to the file storage in Power bi, pbip file format) This also enables different developers to work in parallel on different activities the same pipeline.

Move selected OU from On-Prem AD to cloud only AD
Hi .
We have On-Prem AD sync with azure for O365 .
Some of OU users are Remote users and so they are not connected to AD. We have business basics license so reset password of mail id from Cloud is not possible due to license limitation.
So we are thinking of moving those users to cloud only so they can reset their password.
Is there any safe way to migrate them to cloud only?

How to modify formula
Hello Guys,
I would need some help.
I have this kind of data with multiply date and time. I try to count the overlays minute by minute.
Right now the format in F6 is Date and TIme, same format as in column B and C, but I’d like to leave the Date and change it to just Time or Text format in order to use the formula with multiply different dates. How should I modify the formula in F7, so that I can use it with other days too and don’t have to change the dates in F6,G6,etc., every time? Hope, this make sense.
Thanks for your help
