EFI – Full repair needed?
I’ve already found a few posts here that explain how to repair the EFI partition. How to do that is not my question. Q1: Is this just windows being stupid? (if yes skip Q2)Q2: Should I even bother fixing this? The PC is working as fine as Windows can. I would never have known about this had I not decided to create a VHD. Read More

Exchange license removed but mailbox still active
Hi,
I`m tidying up old users from our tenant and have noticed lots of old users without exchange licenses still have mailboxes active. I thought these were soft deleted after 30 days.
We want to keep the user in our domain without a mailbox so that the user in Atlassian doesn`t become an unknown users. The user is blocked from sign in and doesn`t have any licenses attached.
Any ideas on why the mailbox is still there?
Thanks
James

SharePoint Modern Page – Notifications when submitting Comments
On a modern page when someone post a comment, notification is sent to person who created the page. I’m looking for an option to change this so notifications are sent to another person, tried changing ‘Author’ to the desired user but notifications are still sent to ‘Created By’ user. Is this by design or is there a workaround?

How can I create Windows 11 installation media for new PC?
Hi community experts,
My 10-year old MacBook Pro will be retired soon as it becomes laggy and many apps are not supported. Recently, I heard a lot of good reviews about Windows 11 and now I have the new built PC at my hand. The specs are:
CPU: Intel i5 12400FRAM: Kingston 16GBSSD: SANDISK 500GBMotherboard: Asus A520MGraphics card: 4070Ti
My question is how to create Windows 11 installation media so I can install Windows 11 on my new PC. I am not a tech savvy and don’t know how to do this. It could be great if some one point our the right direction.
Thank you

I have 3 computers, 1 with PIN and enter, 1 with PIN and straight in, and 1 with no PIN and straight
I’d like to know how I’ve done it. The first is with PIN and enter, probably using Microsoft, but others have OEM info. All have Windows 23H2 up to date.
I’m not bothered but I would like to know what I’ve done.

File Explorer has gone back to automatically expanding drive folders in the navigation pane . . .
Hi All –
When I got my new computer a bit over a year ago, I ordered it with Windows 11 Pro. It worked pretty well, but I had one complaint: No matter what I did in folder options, every time I opened a folder in the main pane of File Explorer, the navigation pane on the left would automatically expand the drive folders to show the same thing that was going on in the right main pane.
Then, to my amazement, I eventually got a Windows Update, and then it did not automatically expand. Now, in the last few days, it has gone back to automatically expanding again, and it is interrupting my workflow. Is there some way to keep the auto expansion from happening? I have the box checked in folder options to not automatically expand. I can, of course, click the arrow to go back to unexpanded, but it is a pain as I work in file explorer a lot.
Thanks.

Edit fillable PDF in Microsoft 365 (iOS) stopped working
For the past few days, we have been unable to edit PDF files in the MS365 iOS app. We work with a SharePoint list that contains thousands of PDF files, which were previously opened and edited directly within the MS365 app without any issues.
Since the update we are only able to anotate on the PDF files but we cannot select the fillable fields en signature fields anymore.
This feature is crucial to our workflow, and the inability to edit PDFs in the app has caused significant disruptions

Why do the icons on my home screen get scrambled every time I start my computer?
This issue has been troubling me increasingly over the past few days. Every time I start my PC, the icons that I had previously arranged neatly are now scattered randomly across the desktop. While I might have encountered this a few times in the past after playing a game at a different resolution, I’m puzzled as to why it’s happening now.

Windows 11 23H2 Memory Leak from lsass.exe
I have a serious memory leak issue that has been going on in my system since March of this year.
Since I upgraded to Windows 11, the lsass.exe program has been leaking memory slowly over the course of a six-hour period before the virtual memory reaches 99%, causing my PC to crash and forcing me to restart the system to bring it back down.
From my research and patience, I have found no such solution to this issue except for 22h2 systems, which this is not.
Here is all my information on my current system. If you need anymore information on this computer or my situation, please ask away and I will do my best to assist you.

Is it possible for multiple users to share the same username?
I’m currently working on some Sysadmin tasks using a Windows VM provided by my course. Interestingly, I’ve discovered around five accounts with the same username and hostname, yet each has a unique SID.
I didn’t think this was possible. Could this actually occur in real life, or is it simply a strange glitch in the simulated environment I’m using?
I figured that having multiple accounts with identical usernames might lead to problems, such as logging in or configuring a home directory.
I haven’t found any explanations online, so I would greatly appreciate any insights you can offer!

How to get the days for re-authenticate from Azure directory
Hello Community,
I was trying to fetch the time for which a device authentication can be trusted.
The problem is that there is no conditional policy set and the policies for token issuance, and lifetime return an empty array using Graph API (pretty sure, they are not set either).
I see the number of days required to re-authenticate using a particular device here.
Is there a way to extract this “30” days interval using Graph API?
Thank you.

How to clone Windows 10 HDD to SSD free without software?
I have a backup PC running Windows 10 and it becomes very slowly when editing videos. I doubt it is the issue with the internal hard drive. So I bought a new compatible SSD and want to move all staff to the new SSD. Does anyone know an easy way to clone Windows 10 HDD to SSD for free without software?
I hope all personal data and apps will be copied to the new SSD so I don’t do any additional settings and installation once the migration process is done.
Appreciated if you could shed some light on this issue.
