Well, that’s embarrassing; we were unable to enroll you.
Hello,
I’m trying to enroll in Azure Data Fundamentals but it says “Well, that’s embarrassing; we were unable to enroll you.”.
I’ve tried using Microsoft Edge, clearing browser data, using InPrivate window and using Google Chrome but nothing works.
Any help would be appreciated.

How to see Planner tasks in personal (unpaid Outlook) ToDo
We’ve got a few external guest users added to a Plan in Planner, with some tasks assigned to the guests. Can these guests see assigned tasks in their personal ToDo application? They don’t have paid-for plans, but rather a free one.

Edge Video Weirdness
My wife’s yoga studio site starts with a full screen video. I opened the site today (after an automatic Windows update), and the opening screen looked weird. See the pictures showing screenshots of https://weavervilleyoga.live/welcome Chrome vs Edge. (Using Developer Tools, I removed the overlay for better view.)
I tried opening the video in the native player: just as bizarre. https://weavervilleyoga.live/files//7316/1075/1585/Sdclass-2.mp4 (showing 0:02 seconds in. I suggest watching the whole video to see the weirdness in action).
Tried all the standard fixes: restart Edge, reboot, etc. Video driver is up to date. Firefox and Opera also display OK. Any ideas?

Accents & Characters using “Alt+Code” appear twice on Word
Hello everyone
I have been struggling with a bug on Word. Everytime I type a character using “alt+code” such as ô which is alt+0244, the character appears a second time at the next stroke of a keyboard key. Has this happened to anyone else? If so, do you have a fix?
Many thanks
Michael

Caps lock indicator
I have a HP laptop with windows 11. Today, as I’ve been typing on my laptop when I click the caps lock button on my keyboard, it comes up with a notification telling me caps lock is on/off. There is no sound notification, just an image. I have attached an image of what it looks like. It is getting in the way of my screen and it is very annoying. I have searched for different ways but they only provide 3 options to turning it off and none have worked. There is no dell software installed or anything like that, I am on a HP laptop. I’ve tried the easy access centre and that doesn’t work etc. Please help.

MacOS set preferences – manual deployment without MDM
Hello,
we are testing Microsoft Defender on macOS devices.
It is working and reporting in the Defender portal.
I see in documentation that there are examples of creating config profile in Jamf and Intune:
Is it possible to create a simple config profile manually (without using any MDM system) for testing purposes?
Something like we can do on Linux OS: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/security/defender-endpoint/linux-preferences?view=o365-worldwide – using config file /etc/opt/microsoft/mdatp/managed/mdatp_managed.json
Thanks!

New Microsoft Teams on Citrix VDI (w/ FSLogix profiles)
Hello,
we’re trying to deploy the New Microsoft Teams in our infrastructure.
Technical details:
– Citrix CVAD 1912LTSR CU8 (VDAs are running 2311.0.0.247)
– Windows 10 22H2 19045.4291
– Teams 24074.2321.2810.3500 – Citrix HDX Optimized
– FSLogix 2210 hotfix 3 (2.9.8784.63912)
– Machines are deployes using both PVS and MCS
New Teams opens up, but the “Account/Status management” drop-down menu at the top-right of the MS Teams window disappears immediately. Therefore, users can’t manage their status and change their profile settings.
Screenshot of what’s missing:
What MS Teams looks like in our Citrix VDI environment:
Troubleshooting done so far:
– New Teams re-deployment (completely uninstalled and installed)
– Cache cleared
– User profile (FSLogix) reset and re-created from scratch
Any idea on what could be the cause of the issue?
Thank you
Zeno

Xbox app not in Microsoft Store App New
It seems that the Xbox app from the Microsoft App Store (New), is not listed in the Endpoint Manager.
So now i cannot uninstall the app from our devices, as the software is build-in to Windows.
Will the Xbox app in the near future be included into the App Store within the Endpoint Manager?

The moment that Live Your Legend LOCAL launched, Scott’s work and mission became bigger than himself. His life was a perfect example of how work is not merely a task to be finished, but an opportunity for us to do something that matters. I’m so grateful that I was there to witness it.

Customer review: HeyTaco makes recognizing colleagues’ hard work fun, simple, and satisfying
HeyTaco is a solution published to Microsoft AppSource which makes it easy for employees to express their appreciation for each other, fostering meaningful relationships that lead to happiness and success. It features leaderboards, achievement levels, and tacos as currency for a fun twist to the recognition process. Microsoft AppSource interviewed Michael B. Stevens, Managing Partner, Derrevere, Stevens, Black & Cozad, to learn what he had to say about the app.
What do you like best about HeyTaco?
I love the way it makes me feel when I see my colleagues expressing gratitude between one another. Before we lived on Microsoft Teams, you’d have to physically be in the right place at the right time to witness random acts of gratitude. Otherwise, you’d miss it and never know it happened. With our gratitude channel on Microsoft Teams, you can pipe in good vibes to your day anytime. The channel has the opposite effect of “doom scrolling.”
How has HeyTaco helped your organization?
HeyTaco adds a level of intimacy and connection that’s difficult to achieve just by messaging and video calls. Seeing people express feelings of gratitude with tacos throughout the day has caused us all to grow closer and be better co-workers.
How is customer service and support?
The product has been so good, we haven’t needed any real support since it was set up. I wish all products were this consistent and reliable.
Any recommendations or insights to other users considering HeyTaco?
Jump in headfirst and disregard the nay-sayers and party poopers. The app is contagious, in a good way. I’ve seen first-hand how people that normally have trouble expressing themselves have used HeyTaco to find a new gear of emotional communication that allows them to be better colleagues. HeyTaco also gives managers another tool to both convey praise and to observe interactions between those on their team.
On a scale from 1 to 5, what is your overall rating for HeyTaco?
5!

singed pdf files get blocked when user is sending from shared mailbox
Hi, in exchange environment, I have my email account and also I have shared mailbox linked.
I can sent the singed pdf file attached to email from my email but when I send it from shared mailbox, I get the following message everytime:
“From: email address removed for privacy reasons <email address removed for privacy reasons> Subject: Executable File Violation You attempted to send a message that contained an executable file. Our company policy prohibits the sending of executable files via email. The message was not delivered.”
We have symantec spam filter in organization, which I think is causing that error, or it can be exchange policy which is more restrictive (on default or someone configured it so),
I wonder if it is possible to address this issue and let the singed pdf flow from shared mailbox.
What can I do to fix it?
From where should I fix it – exchange management / shared mailbox policies or where do I find that options to configure correctly?
Thanks
George

Context Menus no longer appearing when I right click on tasks
Hello – I commonly used the context menus in the ToDo web app (using on desktop) to move tasks between lists in the way demonstrated here: Move tasks between or within lists
Following the update to version 2.119.1 which I believe happened earlier this week I can no longer access any context menus, can’t drag and drop tasks and cannot find anyway to move tasks between lists.
This was a key feature for my workflow so I really need it back.
