FSLogix Antivirus Exclusions with Standard Microsoft Image
I’m using one of the standard Microsoft images for my Azure AVD setup. The multi-session image is Windows 11 Enterprise with O365 and FSLogix pre-installed. I have setup the necessary GPO for FSLogix and all is working well. Can I assume that Microsoft already applied the necessary antivirus exclusions for FSLogix with Defender?
Thanks.

MS Teams Tab sending chats?
I noticed some tabs have a chat tab that corresponds to a chat in the messages tab on the teams client. I’m wondering how you can do that all in one because the docs seem to specify messaging capabilities is a chatbot feature. I’m looking at this and it isn’t clear that my tabs app can send messages as well.

Dell laptop runs OOBE several months after being registered and used
We have a Dell Vostro laptop that has started to bring up the Autopilot oobe after login and connected to Wi-Fi, this is several months after first configuration and monitoring with Intune.
it started when the end user visited a colleague. It initially stuck on the ESP screen with no access to the internet, we used the accessibility button to connect to local Wi-Fi. We rebooted via a hard power reset and it ended up at the final section on the ESP page after the user used her pin to login, also same after email address to login. It doesn’t complete the OOBE process and let her get to her desktop. Remotely Intune EndPoint manager can monitor and restart the system.
Has anyone had this?
Intune Support have collected logs and compared with another Autopilot device and gives Intune a clean bill of health!
User is couriering me the laptop as Intune Support feel it is either a Windows issue or a hardware one.
Suggestions welcome
Paul

Q-B Windows 10 Onedrive 2 PC Sync?
Q-B Desktop Enterprise 2024 Manufacturering and wholesale.
I have 2 PC, 2 workers. Company file located in Onedrive folder, synced to both PC.
Can both PC have the same company file open, and being edited simultaneously, through Onedrive? Is Q-B setup to do that? Is that safe? Should 2 PC edit a file in Onedrive at the same time?
Q-B has a “Multi-User Mode” that I have successfully used, when the file was located offline, on our network, but now I am asking if I can do that with Onedrive instead. Do Q-B users do that, is that normal?
I have no interest in switching to Q-B Online version, I want to stay with Q-B Desktop Enterprise 2024 Manufacturering and wholesale.
I am a novice with Q-B, please do not assume I know any settings, please explain step by step answer, thank you.

OneNote
I need a good and secure description of how my students’ OneNote notes will accompany them when they leave our primary school in a few weeks.
The students have saved their OneNote in an Office 365 environment that many schools in Denmark use. In 14 days, they will be leaving us – most of them for secondary education where their many notes could be very useful. But how does a student do this? The Office 365 they are currently using will be closed when they finish their primary school education. I would really like to know. Thank you in advance for your help.

Questions on Sync and what should I do with one drive after a re-install?
My WIN 11 home laptop comes with Office 365 and OneDrive was set up with the default folders (documents, pictures and desktop). I have a local folder on my C drive (c:mydata) which I want to backup to Onedrive. I copied c:mydata to my OneDrive-personal. Under Windows Explorer, I can see
OneDrive -personal
– Documents
-Pictures
-Desktop
-mydata
and on local, OS(C:)
-mydata
Most of the time, I updated the files under C:mydata. This way, if I lose my network connection, I can continue to work with the updates on C:mydata. Whatever update I did showed up on OneDrive-personalmydata sometime later. I am a casual user. I did not check the delay and did not think much about it. From my experience, I know the updates showed up at least a few hours later. However, I don’t believe this is right because if I use OneDrive as my backup my local update should go to OneDrive immediately otherwise any update will be lost before the sync happens.
My questions are
1. Am I doing things wrong all along? Should I update OneDrive -personalmydat first and wait for the sync to update my local C:mydata?
2. If I have to work on C:mydata because there is no network connection, how can I force a sync to OneDrive as soon as the network is back?
Last week, I got BSOD on my laptop. I had to recover with a re-install. I picked the keep file and data option. After the re-install, I can see
OneDrive -personal
– Documents
-Pictures
-Desktop
-mydata
But I am not sure how current is mydata? I should only be up to the point of the last Sync. Is there anyway to tell when did the last sync happened?
Since I picked save file and data during recovery re-insatll, is there anything I need to do to OneDrive setup after the re-install?

Help pulling information from one tab to another.
I am trying to get information to pull from one tab to another and having issues. I believe it is because there can be multiple responses. I am trying to pull information based on table number. I have already used the following formula to pull information from this tab to a different one, but it doesn’t work for this situation because multiple lines have the same table number.
=IF(ISERROR(XLOOKUP(1,’Master Seating’!H$2:H$159,’Master Seating’!K$2:K$159,)),””,(XLOOKUP(1,’Master Seating’!H$2:H$159,’Master Seating’!K$2:K$159,)))
Is there a way to edit this formula to work or another formula that I should be using.
I have attached screen grabs of the workbooks. From the first workbook I want to pull the names and allergies into the second workbook based on Table number.

Fully block custom scale factor?
Hi
I’m using Windows 11 on different screens (hdpi laptop, external FullHD, external 4K) but I’d like Windows 11 to stop changing the scale factor and resolution each time I connect to a different environment.
Each time I switch to a different display, I have to go to the dispaly settings and turn off custom scale factor, put it back to 100% and this is getting on my nerves.
Is there a way to have it stop rescaling automatically once and for all? I searched everywhere and the answer is always the same: turn off custom scale factor, signout and sign back in.
Problem is that next time you sign in, it’s back to 200% and automatic scale factor, etc…
I don’t want Windows to change the scale factor automatically.
Any way to do this or should I abandon Windows 11?
Thanks for any help
Steve

What causes sync’d excel to miss Forms responses?
Hi All –
I’m having trouble with seeing all responses in a sync’d excel sheet. I created a “New Group Form,” tested it out, and confirmed that when people respond to the form, my sync’d excel will update in real time (~ish), which is perfect. I would like to use this form indefinitely to replace a process that is currently very manual. But now after a couple weeks of success, I’m missing two responses. I have earlier responses, I have later responses, so the form didn’t completely unsync.
I’ve read through the microsoft troubleshooting, but it doesn’t have a ton of details…
Excel workbook is corrupt – doesn’t seem to be.Excel workbook is too large – nope, under the limit. Excel workbook is locked or checked out – we’re not requiring anyone who might have access to the excel to do this; is this something that could happen by accident that would temporarily prevent synching? Excel workbook has been manually edited – well, in my case, to not edit the excel workbook at all would defeat the point, but I’ve edited sync’d excels from forms before with no issues. Anybody know more specifically what editing actions will cause issues? Excel workbook is IRM protected – presumably this would prevent it from ever synching again, and wouldn’t be a temporary problem.
The only other thing I can think of is that maybe some of the responses contained characters that break the synch – is that even possible?
Any help is welcome.
Thanks!
