legend symbol disappears when plotting a polyshape

Does Copilot actually work?
When I use Microsoft Copilot for Bing to find out specific user function for Microsoft products (for example, how to rename an MS Form) Copilot typically produces incorrect and erroneous results. If Copilot does not know how Microsoft products work, I have reservations that it’s an actual thing – feels more like vaporware to me. But I am not surprised because in many cases, Microsoft produces incorrect or outdated instructions on their own products. And so, is Copilot a thing or just more overrated, overhyped AI B.S.?

Unusual Excel Help Request, Perhaps
Hello,
I’m sorry thing is lengthy, but I desperately need assistance with the following problem:
I have a worksheet where Tab A is divided into two sections (say Peter and Stephen). Each contain a column where I start with the beginning value for the month (say X). Then on the row below I manually enter a value for the first day (say Y). On the third row I use a SUM function to total X and Y. I then repeat the process each day so the current total is shown every three rows. This is done for both sections. Pretty straightforward so far…
However, on Tab B, I want to keep an up-to-date total of the most recent totals for both Peter and Stephen, which changes every day. SUM will only allow a pre-chosen cell, whereas I want it to use the most recent Tab A totals as the days go on, so I have the most current total on Tab B.
However, I don’t know what function to use (and how to configure) so that it will total only the most recent totals, basing it on the latest totals and not specific cells.
If anyone can help, I would be extremely grateful.
Regards, Dave

Video source object does not acquire data – USB Vision
Hello, i have a problem where i am unable to get the video source object to acquire video frames.
Using a USB Vision 3.0 Camera from HIKROBOT
I have tried a few varieties, with a Manual Trigger and automatic trigger, but whenever i try to get the data from the camera it times out.
The reason for the timeout i assume to be that the src.Parent status is:
Acquisition Parameters: ‘Stream0’ is the current selected source.
10 frames per trigger using the selected source.
‘Mono8’ video data to be logged upon START.
Grabbing first of every 1 frame(s).

We heard your growing demand and feedback for this solution, and we’re excited to announce the new version of Self Hosted Integration Runtime that is Kubernetes-based for Linux is now available in public preview.
We have improved the underlying infrastructure for Self Hosted Integration Runtime to provide several benefits:
Scalability: Ability to scale to hundreds of machines.
Performance: Improved performance in scanning workloads.
Security (containerized): Ability to have containerized security on a Kubernetes cluster, instead of hosting SHIR on a Windows machine directly

Feature Request – Track Changes Reviewer Colors – Replace Grey with Fuchsia
One of MS Word’s track changes reviewer colors is grey, which when viewed against black text is vexing to read because it has little contrast and does not visually pop.
I recommend either removing the grey reviewer color entirely or replacing it with a vibrant fuschia which would contrast well with the black text.
It would also be appreciated if Microsoft allowed people to change reviewer colors within a document.

Announcing Windows Server Preview Build 26244
Announcing Windows Server Preview Build 26244
Hello Windows Server Insiders!
Today we are pleased to release a new build of the next Windows Server Long-Term Servicing Channel (LTSC) Preview that contains both the Desktop Experience and Server Core installation options for Datacenter and Standard editions, Annual Channel for Container Host and Azure Edition (for VM evaluation only). Branding has been updated for the upcoming release, Windows Server 2025, in this preview – when reporting issues please refer to Windows Server 2025 preview. If you signed up for Server Flighting, you should receive this new build automatically.
What’s New
Delegated Managed Service Accounts (dMSA)
A new account type known as delegated Managed Service Account (dMSA) is now available that allows migration from a traditional service account to a machine account with managed and fully randomized keys, while disabling original service account passwords.
Authentication for dMSA is linked to the device identity, which means that only specified machine identities mapped in AD can access the account. Using dMSA helps to prevent harvesting credentials using a compromised account (kerberoasting), which is a common issue with traditional service accounts.
To learn more about dMSA, visit https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/security/delegated-managed-service-accounts/delegated-managed-service-accounts-overview.
Windows Server Flighting is here!!
If you signed up for Server Flighting, you should receive this new build automatically later today.
For more information, see Welcome to Windows Insider flighting on Windows Server – Microsoft Community Hub
The new Feedback Hub app is now available for Server Desktop users! The app should automatically update with the latest version, but if it does not, simply Check for updates in the app’s settings tab.
Known Issues
Upgrade does not complete: Some users may experience an issue when upgrading where the download process does not progress beyond 0%. If you encounter this issue, please upgrade to this newer build using the ISO media download option. Download Windows Server Insider Preview (microsoft.com)
Access denied error when using Diskpart –> Clean Image on Winpe.vhdx VMs created using WinPE: Create bootable media | Microsoft Learn. We are working to resolve this issue and expect to have it fixed in the next preview release.
Download Windows Server Insider Preview (microsoft.com)
Flighting: The label for this flight may incorrectly reference Windows 11. However, when selected, the package installed is the Windows Server update. Please ignore the label and proceed with installing your flight. This issue will be addressed in a future release.
Setup: Some users may experience overlapping rectangle voids following mouse clicks during “OOBE” setup. This is a graphics rendering issue and will not prevent setup from completing. This issue will be addressed in a future release.
WinPE – Powershell Scripts: Applying the WinPE-Powershell optional component does not properly install Powershell in WinPE. As a result, Powershell cmdlets will fail. Customers who are dependent on Powershell in WinPE should not use this build.
If you are validating upgrades from Windows Server 2019 or 2022, we do not recommend that you use this build as intermittent upgrade failures have been identified for this build.
This build has an issue where archiving eventlogs with “wevetutil al” command causes the Windows Event Log service to crash, and the archive operation to fail. The service must be restarted by executing “Start-Service EventLog” from an administrative command line prompt.
If you have Secure Launch/DRTM code path enabled, we do not recommend that you install this build.

New Authentication for email from September 2024
I have received an email from Microsoft headed ” Update your sign-in technology before September 16th, 2024 to maintain email access.”
I have an outlook account, and use a hotmail email address. Currently I receive emails on an iPhone, iPad, iMac and Mac book. I login using my email and a password and I believe (from the information provided) that from September 2024 I need to authenticate this login with a further step in addition to an email and password. While this seems sensible and fairly straightforward, I cannot make head or tail of the instructions regarding what I need to do to change my existing set up so that it complies.
Can anyone explain what I need to do in simple terms, as I find the Microsoft instructions baffling.

Forms data sync to Excel is now fully available with more functionality
We’ve been gradually rolling out Forms data sync to Excel since early this year. During this process, we actively collected user feedback and iterated to enhance the feature for various use cases. I’m excited to announce that this feature is now fully available for all customers, complete with additional capabilities. Let’s explore these updates together. You can also try it from this template.
Create from Excel for the web
If you prefer to keep all your data in Excel and are used to starting your data collection journey there, you can now create a form directly from Excel for the web – no need to visit Forms. Simply click “Insert” and select “Forms” in the ribbon. This will open a new form in Forms where you can add questions. All the questions you add and responses you receive will automatically sync to Excel.
Create from Excel for the web
Create from worksheets in OneDrive and SharePoint
The “create from Excel” experience supports worksheets saved in OneDrive and SharePoint. Depending on your needs, you can choose where to start. For personal forms that you want the answers accessible only to yourself, start from OneDrive. For collaborative forms involving your team, start from SharePoint to ensure all team members stay updated.
Start from Excel saved in OneDrive
New data sync experience for group form
We’ve also updated the group form data sync experience to be smoother and more stable for greater reliability. For forms where you need all team members to easily check responses, you can create a group form in Forms. As new responses come in, everyone on the team can see them sync to Excel. The Excel worksheet for the group form will be saved in SharePoint.
Create a group form in Forms
Share the Excel link to collaborate on up-to-date data
If you want your coworkers to check the new responses and do some further analysis, you need to share the Excel link. When they open it, responses will automatically sync whenever responses are received. (Please note that Forms collaborators don’t have access to the syncing Excel sheets from response page – you must share the Excel link.)
Share the Excel link with others
We are currently rolling out to commercial customers and expect to be fully deployed to commercial by mid-July. We’ll also start rolling out to Microsoft account holders in the near future.

If you’ve been using driver synchronization updates via Windows Server Update Services (WSUS), you may already be aware of the newest cloud-based driver services. Many are already enjoying the benefits of managing their driver updates with Microsoft cloud. This means that we’ll soon be deprecating WSUS driver synchronization.
Thanks to everyone who participated in our WSUS driver synchronization deprecation survey. Your input has helped us to plan an optimal transition for you and your organization. Out of the participants who use WSUS, only 34% reported that they use it to synchronize drivers. Most of this 34% reported that they are in the process of implementing a different solution and don’t anticipate any problems with deprecation. Only 8% of participants indicated concerns over potential effects from deprecation, and we want to help everyone to get ready.
Tip: Deprecation is the stage of the product lifecycle when a feature is no longer in active development. Deprecated features may be removed entirely in future releases of a product or service. Until they are removed, deprecated features will typically continue to work and are fully supported. After removal, the feature will no longer function. For more information, check out Deprecated features in the Windows client.
What do you need to do to prepare?
Our plan is to deprecate WSUS driver synchronization on April 18, 2025. For on-premises contexts, drivers will be available on the Microsoft Update catalog, but you will not be able to import them into WSUS. You’ll need to use other means, such as Device Driver Packages, to distribute the drivers within your network.

Windows news you can use: June 2024
Here are the latest Windows 11 features, capabilities, services, and tools that you can start using this month. Based on your feedback, we’ve also included information to help you catch up on lifecycle milestones and preview opportunities. We hope that this paints a better timeline and helps you embrace a secure, cloud-native future with Windows 11.
New in Windows security
[ENCRYPTION] Configure Windows Hello credentials to encrypt or decrypt files in known folders on the Windows device (for example, Documents, Desktop, and Pictures). Personal Data Encryption (PDE) along with BitLocker protects files and volumes while the system is at rest until the first user login. You can configure PDE settings via configuration service providers (CSP) or Microsoft Intune. For Intune, go to Endpoint security to select the folders and apply a policy to a group of users. For developers, there is also a PDE API to utilize when building Windows apps that generate or modify end-user content on Windows devices.
[WINDOWS 11] You can now use Config Refresh to refresh settings on your Windows 11 devices at a cadence that makes sense for your organization (from 30 minutes to 24 hours). This helps prevent unexpected change configurations through either malicious software or registry edits.
[AMA] Find answers to common questions on Windows security and best practices. Learn how to better protect your data and identities. Explore defaults, customization, and tips to help you “lock down” Windows in your environment.
New in device management

[GCC] For US Government Community Cloud (GCC) environments, you can now provision Cloud PCs in an Azure Commercial datacenter with Windows 365 Frontline for FedRAMP. With Windows 365 Frontline for FedRAMP, instead of purchasing a license for every shift worker, you need to only purchase enough licenses for the number of active employees at any given time. You can then manage those Cloud PCs just as you do any endpoint.
[BYOD] Roll out the June 2024 security update for Windows 11, version 23H2 to improve the experience of employees using their own devices at work. Authenticated users within your organization can now manage their Windows 11 Pro PCs from a new location: Settings > Accounts > Linked devices. There’s a new account manager available from the Start menu, making it easier for employees to manage their account settings and explore account benefits. Furthermore, two new actions are available from Windows account settings: add a recovery email address and back up sound preferences. Authenticated users can also take advantage of the Windows Backup app.
[COPILOT+ PC] In case you’ve missed it, Copilot+ PCs are now widely available.

Lifecycle milestones
[WINDOWS 10] The June 2024 security update was the last security release for Enterprise, Education, and IoT Enterprise editions of Windows 10, version 21H2. Windows 10, version 22H2, will be the final version of Windows 10, and all editions will remain in support with monthly security updates through October 14, 2025. Enterprise and IoT Enterprise LTSB/LTSC editions will continue to have support through their specified lifecycle dates.
[WMIC] While the Windows Management Instrumentation Command line (WMIC). Was converted into a feature on demand (FoD) in Windows 11, version 22H2, it will be disabled by default for new installations of Windows 11 (including Copilot+ PCs) beginning with version 24H2. As documented in KB5039239, if you upgrade to Windows 11, version 24H2, the FoD is enabled by default.
