Manual Arrangement of Icons in Folders
Hi to everyone !
Is there any information that Microsoft will ever bring back the option to disable the “auto arrange” / “align to grid” feature to folders? I still do not understand why they have it built in for the desktop but not individual folders!
Is there any new information on a work around , registry hack that could allow it ?
Thank you in advance for any insight!

Sharepoint access with Excel Powerquery
Hello,
I’ve got an error when I tried to get access to a Sharepoint file via Excel PowerQuery with the command line below
Source = SharePoint.Files(“https://nom-domaine.sharepoint.com/sites/nom-sharepoint”, [ApiVersion = Auto])
Error is :
InnerException0.Stack Trace Message:
La valeur spécifiée est composée de caractères CRLF non valides.
Nom du paramètre : value
The same command line is working with PowerBi Desktop on my computer…
How could I solve my issue please?
Thanks
Sébastien

Slow Login Time After KB5034765
I was not sure if I should post here or Updates forum but since I don’t have issues with installation, uninstallation of the said Cumulative Update perhaps here is better.
This is a brand new PC I built about 2 weeks ago, and I had no issues whatsoever. Core isolation disabled due to Logitech G19 + desktop tweaks from Chris Titus’s winutils. Perhaps worthy to mention just in case, I am using Malwarebytes Lifetime (thank you techcommunity back in the day ;-))
Chipset, BIOS and all possible drivers up-to-date. sfc and dism already ran. No issues found or already fixed.
As the title says, pin entry to desktop takes about 10 seconds after the update. It was instant before. Symptoms disappear if I uninstall the update. No other issues I could observe otherwise. BIOS time is pretty much 14-15 seconds, disabling some of the few startup apps do not change anything (they were enabled and instant login before the update anyway).

Archives still showing as folders in Windows Explorer navigation pane…
Hi Guys,
Running Win 11 23H2 22631.3085… I have 7-Zip 23.01 installed and associated with all archive files (.7z, .zip. RAR, etc). However, in Windows Explorer, the archives are still showing-up as folders in the left-hand navigation-pane…
This makes things look rather messy when opening a folder that has a bunch of archives inside (see attached).

Recovery of non bootable win11
Fresh install , a couple days old and it suddenly would not boot, failed on inaccessible boot device.
I tried repair a few times with the same result.
I never saw the option to “reset your PC” Finally got into a cmd prompt and found errors on E: which I corrected with chkdsk /f Now it boots and runs normally.
The only storage is a Samsung 860 SSD which checks out 100% with SSDlife expected life 9 years.
What could have happened?

Micron 3400 NVME SSD firmware update error
I’m attempting to update my Micron 3400 NVME SSD’s firmware from version P7MU000 to P7MU002 using Micron Storage Executive, but I’m encountering an error: “PKIX path validation failed: java.security.cert.CertPathValidatorException: validity check failed”. I’ve attached the relevant images (Attachments 411805, 411806, and 411807).
I suspect that the issue is related to a certificate date problem. When I adjust my computer’s clock year to 2023, the update finds the new firmware, but it still won’t install automatically or manually. Instead, I receive an error.
Let me know if you need any further information or assistance!

When computer updates File Explorer no longer works.
Hi this is making me so angry! I have a Dell Latitude and a Dell Inspiron windows 11. A few weeks ago I could not open file Explorer on my Dell Inspiron and had to reset the whole system. Then when I was helping my friend setup her new Dell we did all the updates on her new Dell Desktop the same thing happened and I had to reset her computer. Then last night my Dell Latitude updated and now my File Explorer does not work, now I know why because the new updates are messing up File Explorer.
I tried all the Youtube fixes and nothing and I end up having to reset. This should not be happening with your software but it is. Can you tell me how to fix this computer without doing a reset. Recovery was not an option in all three computers because for some reason when I turn it on it does not work.

Issue with retrieving names based on criteria + max, tried FILTER, INDEX, VLOOKUP
Hello all – I’m trying to create a formula that I can use in the right table that references information in the left table and returns the following:
– Name of Character with the highest profession value relative to that profession
I’ve tried INDEX, FILTER, VLOOKUP and CHOOSECOLS and nothing will give me the name of the character for the profession. INDEX was alright but it returned the first character with the highest profession (regardless of being filtered to just a single profession or not) – so it would return Appwarrior for Enchanting instead of Appdk.
Any insights, thoughts?

Type in a sku in column a row 1 and have excel fill in multiple cells across the row
Hi,
I would like to be able to type in a sku (I have a database already created, just need to know how to implement it) and have excel fill in multiple cells across a row in each column. Here is an example:
SKU Product Description Condition
I enter: 12345678 Excel fills in: Gadget Gadget that gadgets Recycled
I enter: 23456789 Excel fills in: Gizmo Gizmo that gizmos Brand New
I appreciate your input. I tried reading up on this and watching the videos but they weren’t for this type of VLOOKUP … it was for typing in multiple criteria in multiple cells and I just want to type in the sku and have it fill in the rest of the data.
Thank you in advance.

New Teams – User location not working
Dear Community,
We are developing a Teams JavaScript chatbot following the example from: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/samples/officedev/microsoft-teams-samples/officedev-microsoft-teams-samples-app-checkin-location-csharp/ where the user is able to share its location to the chatbot.
On new Teams, it is expected to retrieve user location from navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition() method since microsoftTeams.geoLocation.map.chooseLocation() is no longer supported (which was great since it was possible to manually select your location).
What we are facing is that most of the times, the desktop application is stuck in the “prompt” state and nothing else happens. Nothing else shows in the screen. Only timeout messages if we set it. We’ve made sure hundreds of times that location permissions are enabled both in the computer and also inside the app permissions in the Teams client (under Settings) including app reinstallations.
For the web client, it is very similar.
This issue is starting to become a little bit frustrating for us since there is not much else that we can do and it’s a core feature for the application in order to work properly. On classic Teams everything was working perfectly.
At the end what we want is to retrieve user location and we don’t know if there is a better way to handle this situation than rendering an iframe which is what is doing the official example.
Thank you for your time, and I look forward to your response.
Regards,
David

How can I prevent my mouse pointer from being moved to my touchscreen when I touch it?
I have a main monitor and a secondary touchscreen. If I touch the touchscreen, I have to move my pointer back to my main screen again. This happens every time and makes it difficult to use the touchscreen for its intended purpose. Is there a way around this? I have looked in the settings and had a look around online but cannot seem to find a solution.

Deploying Google Chrome via Intune policies doesn’t work
Hello everyone,
Can you help me? I’m configuring Google Chrome Enterprise policies. I want it to update automatically and block the user from installing extensions for the browser. I followed all the steps, exported the admx, adm, and adml files to Intune, and they were all successfully uploaded. I applied the settings above and they were applied successfully, but they’re not working. I can still install the extensions, but Google isn’t updating automatically :

How To Identify What’s Opening a Command Window?
I’m currently only using the laptop for a couple of hours in the morning, and sometimes a hour in the evening, but occasionally a windows command window (blue background) pops up and disappears again. It’s on the screen for a fraction of a second, and I’ve never managed to spot any text in the window or the window title.
Is there any way to figure out what is causing this? I’ve had a look in the Event Viewer, but just glancing through various things, there’s a ton of information showing for events in the last minute.

Can’t get old traditional console host container
Hello, I upgraded to 23H2 and when I open cmd.exe, the new powershell-like tabbed container opens instead the simple console window. It complicates launching of some console-based applications by interfering with keyboards commands and ignoring individual window/font sizes. Is there a chance how can step back to the old simple container or is the container upgrade irreversible? I also have installed PowerShell 7.4.1, not knowing if it affects the container change.
