I can’t access Microsoft Lists.
I added an item to one of my Lists, then refreshed the page and the List became inaccessible. The page says “Try refreshing the page – something went wrong and we couldn’t get the page to display” (01.png). But no matter how many times I refreshed, things didn’t get better.
Correlation ID: 956a25a1-f06f-5000-7a29-fe3615c441a5
I’ve tried changing browsers and web environments, and I’ve tried using other devices (like my phone) to access List, but nothing works.
Perhaps one of the engineers on the Microsoft Lists team can help me see what’s going on? Thank you so much! :raising_hands:

Named Lambda Function Error Bug?
I am not sure if this is a bug, but it seems odd to me. Lets says you want to create a Lambda function which outputs “#N/A” under a certain condition by using the NA() function, i.e.:
=Lambda(input,if(input=0,NA(),1))(A2:A3)
If the “input” is selected to be {0,1} as contained by A2:A3, then the output is {#N/A,1}, as intended. Note here that for the cell containing “#N/A”, Excel does not give the arrow in the top left corner of the cell that indicates “value not available error”.
However, if this lambda function is converted to a named formula and the same input values are given (i.e., {0,1}), then Excel again outputs {#N/A,1}, except the cell with #N/A has the error indicator in the top left corner indicating that the output is “not an available error” This seems inconsistent with the previous result.
Finally, if the named function is modified such that it also allows specification of the output if the input = 0, i.e.:
=Lambda(input,output,if(input=0,output,1))(A2:A3,NA())
then the error indicator no longer appears in the cell with the #N/A output.
Perhaps this is intentional and I am not using these functions properly. However, having the error indicator appear on an intentional NA() output is contrary to the other uses of NA(). I prefer to use NA() as outputs as they are not plotted by graphs and hence other outputs are typically not useful for my purposes.
Here is screenshot of the inputs (A2:A3) and outputs.

b26085 – Telemetry disclaimer will appear for each user
Dear Windows Server Insider Team,
much appreciate your change, that you now offer the same information about telemetry in sconfig as we were used to in OOBE (GUI).
The change comes with a potential unwanted behaviour:
The disclaimer and question for telemetry settings comes up with every use that is logging on for the first time (or starting sconfig). No matter GUI or Core Installation option.
repro:
install a new WS 2025 b26085 (GUI or Core)
logon as local admin
open sconfig (invoked automatically on Core)
on GUI the OOBE prompts you to choose a setting, independently of the sconfig
disclaimer prompts you choose a setting
domain join the server
reboot
logon as domain admin
open sconfig (invoked automatically on Core)
on GUI the OOBE prompts you to choose a setting, independently of the sconfig
disclaimer prompts you choose a setting again
This will continue with every other local or domain user that is logging on, not tested yet.
But it is also happening on GUI with the telemetry question at first logon
This might also break some automation processes.

How can I resize a level 2 grouping in a row-based outline structure.
PC/Windows 10
Microsoft 365
Version 2403 Build 16.0.17425.20176) 32-bit
Summary: I need to reset a level 2 grouping in a row-based outline structure to match a new size (i.e. adjust the number of lines within a sub-group directly).
Issue: I know how to set up outline levels, but the only way I know of to readjust the number of rows in a level 2 grouping is to delete the entire outline structure and recreate my outline groupings from scratch.
Hoped for Result: I would like to find a way to simply select and adjust the number of rows in any particular existing level 2 sub-grouping directly (rather than recreate the entire outline structure).
===========================================
Description: I have a simple spreadsheet in Excel where I keep weekly paycheck figures for my wife. I use a 2-level outline to divide the paycheck rows into Year (Level 1) and Month (Level 2) to make things easy to work with.
Each year, I copy the prior year’s outline into a new tab, empty the existing data, and use the now empty sheet as my template for the new year’s work. Of course, the number of paycheck weeks within each month changes with the year. But I find that as I create the right number of weeks within each month (adding and deleting lines to match the paydates), the Month (level 2) grouping ‘edges’ get slightly off, that is, the beginning and end of that Level 2 group become off by a row of two as I add/delete lines within that particular group. That many times propagates down the level 2 outline, altering the boundaries for other months in ways both weird and wonderful. I would like to reset any particular Month (level 2) grouping directly to match the new actual month groupings without affecting other level 2 groupings. Can you help me?

Signing up for Non-profit 365 basic
Hi
We are based in the UK, and I have signed up for MS non profit via TechSoup and Charity Digital; I have been told that we have been approved as a non-profit. I have set up the MS Admin Center and associated our domain. When I come to select the free MS 365 basic package from Billing|Purchase Services for our users I am offered the “paid for” version – no free version available.
I have also noticed that when I log into the Nonprofit Hub (not even sure what this is, or whether it’s important), I get the message:
“Something went wrong
We cannot allow you to proceed at this time. Please contact support and reference message code 920-123190 and transaction 5077c6a9-8a5b-4b35-af78-3291ed34dc25.
I have posted a query with support, but nothing has happened.
We are a small, newly established, UK charity and MS is a very important step for us, can I have some help please to set up our MS Non-profit account.
Thanks
Ian

this will upgrade winget and terminal to the latest version
– winget install OneDrive –source winget
OneDrive got successfully installed

1. ISSUE: In File Explorer however the “OneDrive” quick link has no function.
expected behaviour: should browse OneDrive
using the start menu > opening OneDrive works fine
OneDrive has a new settings that is integrated in Windows Setting now, instead of a WinForm Dialogue. This one cannot be opened in Windows Server 2025. Probably due missing Windows experience pack which would integrate the new experience.
2. ISSUE: Clicking on Settings nothing happens
Expected behaviour: it should open and redirect to Settings app for OneDrive Settings

add minutes to Time/Date column
Hi,
I am still looking for help on a formula that will allow me to add 45 minutes to a Time/Date column on a powerapps form. The user selects the date and time and I need to have 45 minutes added to that time.
I have a calculated column but I think I will replace that with a text label, but either way can’t figure out how to add the time.
The time/date column- Diversion ON_DataCard2
Calculated column – Diversion Comm Time_DataCard1
Thanks for the help!

Help managing data input and individual feedback in an education setting
I am a teacher of children from the ages of 11 to 18. I want a spreadsheet to work in the following way. I want each student to enter some data, the data is then processed and the student receives some individual feedback. Each spreadsheet will contain data and feedback for 300 students, 100 pieces of data entered 3 times a year for 5 years and will link to other spreadsheets that will be used in compiling the feedback.
I want teachers to have access to the whole spreadsheet to facilitate their planning and monitoring. I want the student’s data to be private from other students and also, to prevent students from messing up everyone else’s data. I imagine a client sheet for students that would have cells for them to enter their current set of data. This data would be used to populate the relevant part of the master spreadsheet which would calculate the feedback and return this to the client sheet for the student to see.
I have already made this for my own classes and have evidence that it is having an impact on learning. I am looking for advice on scaling it for use across the school. In particular, I’m looking for advice on how to implement server-client set up I describe. Or is there a better way of achieving the aims I set out at the start of the second paragraph? I’m not terrified of using some VB code to achieve this but I’m not a professional so go slowly. To use the spreadsheets the students will already have logged on to our managed learning environment with a Microsoft loggin.

How I got 85% in Microsoft AZ-305
I achieved an 85% score in the Microsoft AZ-305 exam and I still couldn’t believe it thanks to Passexam4sure’s comprehensive study materials. Their AZ-305 Dumps PDF, practice tests, and exam questions provided thorough coverage of key concepts and real-world scenarios, enabling me to solidify my understanding and test my knowledge effectively. Regular practice and revisiting challenging topics with Passexam4sure’s resources were instrumental in my success. I highly recommend Passexam4sure for anyone aiming to excel in the AZ-305 certification exam.

Windows 11 Virtual Desktop – method to customize taskbar per desktop (instead of same for all)
First off… I LOVE the virtual desktop feature. Thank you Thank you Thank you… that has been a favorite feature of Linux GDE’s for years for me (is it safe to mention I’m a Linux user in here??? )
So now the question — and its truly ICING for the cake which no one NEEDS but it sure is GOOD:
Can I hack registry, set GPO, create a special ini file somewhere, powershell-fu or beg a feature update my way into having a different taskbar configuration per virtual desktop?
I am not a stranger to any of those, but do not recall seeing anything like that recently. I do truly understand the scope of that request so no hard feelings here. Google was not my friend on this subject other than to reveal I am far from the only asker. And of course you know the registry tree is like the library of congress – if you aren’t a frequent flyer then the many seemingly duplicate areas in alternate locations and the oh so fun GUID-only labeled options (and the hidden options you have to know the key name exists to add in and modify by hand) need a little bit of indexing for us folk that didn’t design that monster of a database. No knocks there, but I have worked with various devs for 12 years now and I know there is top secret stuff in there that you Windows devs will never reveal to us common WindowsOS non-dev folk (and tbh it’s usually for very good reasons )
