“Login Screen Extremely Slow to Load Desktop”
Major Update Version 22H2 of Windows 10 Home
Following the input of my password at the login prompt, the system now exhibits a significant delay of approximately 4 minutes before fully loading. Interestingly, a different user account on the same computer experiences a much faster loading time of under 30 seconds. Seeking guidance on how to address this discrepancy.

HP Printer Compatibility with Windows 10 64-bit for Startup Printing
Hello,
I am new to this platform and seeking assistance with a vexing printer issue before resorting to drastic measures…
A while back, my trusty HP Photosmart D7360 printer – despite its vintage charm and reliable performance – began exhibiting a peculiar habit of spontaneously springing to life and churning out nonsensical printouts. At first, I suspected a potential driver hiccup, prompting me to take the drastic step of uninstalling and reinstalling the printer, hoping to refresh the drivers in the process.
Initially, this workaround seemed effective, bringing respite from the bizarre printing episodes. However, to my dismay, the problem resurfaced a couple of weeks ago, plunging me into a maddening cycle of printer woes. A fellow user on a different forum hinted at the possibility of a rogue Windows update wreaking havoc on the printer drivers. Could this really be the culprit? How can I tackle this tech conundrum? Are there others grappling with a similar predicament?
I appreciate any guidance and insights on this confounding printer puzzle.

HP laptop automatically turning on and off on its own
Hello everyone, I’m in need of assistance with a perplexing issue.
My HP Elitebook 840 laptop has started behaving erratically. Upon pressing the power button, it powers up and functions normally for a variable duration, ranging from 30 seconds to 10 minutes. Unexpectedly, it then abruptly shuts down, and subsequent attempts to turn it back on are unsuccessful. It remains off.
Strangely, the laptop spontaneously restarts at unpredictable intervals, sometimes after an hour and occasionally up to twelve hours later. The only indication of this is when the Windows welcome startup sound plays.
I am unable to provide the Windows 10 version number as the laptop shuts down before I can locate it. However, it has been consistently updated until this issue arose a few weeks ago.
Despite not overheating and with the fan working properly, the problem persists even after swapping the SSD with an identical clone. The battery has been ruled out as a cause. During a brief period when the laptop remained on, it was tested and found to be in good condition. This behavior occurs regardless of whether the laptop is connected to a power source.
Any advice or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Exchange online and MGGraph are interfering
I am creating a new script. The script is running unattended. The script doing a couple things, the important part here is: setting a new user a license and setting the new user mailbox Address book policy. The address book is an Exchange online task the license is Graph. I am getting an error.
How to reproduce the error:
1. connect to MgGraph, I am using this command
Connect-MgGraph -TenantId $tenantID -AppId $appID -CertificateThumbprint $CertificateThumbPrint -NoWelcome
do some work, Disconnect-MgGraph
2. Connect to Exchange online, in the same script:
Connect-ExchangeOnline -CertificateThumbPrint $CertificateThumbPrint -AppID $appID -Organization $tenantID -CommandName Get-EXOMailbox,Get-mailbox,Set-mailbox -SkipLoadingCmdletHelp -ShowBanner:$false

I tired:
updateing both modules to the latest versionremoveing the Microsoft.Graph and Microsoft.Graph.Authentication module before connecting to Exchange onlineclearing the token cache file from AppDataLocal.IdentityServicemg.msal.cache
I would like to avoid running two separate script or script isolation like new processes or jobs. Because i need to pass many variables between the two script, input and output.
The app I am using and the cert is okay. If i am running separately it is working, so I can connect Exchange online with it.
Any idea why is this happening? What should i check?

“Added More RAM, Windows 10 Fails to Boot”
After purchasing the RAM modules from Best Buy, I encountered an issue where my computer would not boot up properly after installation. Despite the fan running, my monitor displayed nothing. My computer has four slots – two white and two black. The initial 8GB RAM module was in the first black slot. I attempted to install two new 8GB RAM modules into the two white slots, but my computer still failed to start. Subsequently, I tried installing just one of the new modules into the remaining black slot, but the issue persisted. Ultimately, I had to remove the new module, and my computer resumed normal operation with only the original module installed.

“Windows 10 Installation Issues: Seeking Solutions for Frustrating Crashes”
Greetings,
I am encountering difficulties while attempting to reinstall Windows 10, and I am concerned about the potential loss of my data and applications. Furthermore, my current hard drive does not offer sufficient storage capacity to create a backup. Despite my efforts to initiate the Windows 10 setup process, it consistently crashes. I have also tried entering safe mode, which allowed me to progress a bit further; however, I was unable to complete the installation due to system limitations. In an attempt to troubleshoot, I disabled all non-Microsoft services and startup programs using ‘msconfig,’ which enabled me to reach 100% completion during the update in normal mode, only for it to crash afterward.

How to Discover a Subtle Startup Catalyst?
I’m interested in understanding how the OperaGX Browser app initiates upon computer login. Despite examining the user Startup folder, the All Users Startup folder, and searching for a service, I have been unable to determine its startup method. Specifically, I am seeking information within Windows 10 that specifies the app’s activation upon Windows startup or login, rather than a setting within the application. My goal is to prevent its launch using a tool like Group Policy.

“Unpublish” button not showing on “Site Pages” library where “Approve/Reject” Flow configured
Hi,
I have SharePoint “Site Pages” Library where Site Pages or News Posts are getting created. I have configured “Power Automate Flow” for Approval/Reject for selected item/page. Earlier I used to get “Unpublish” button on clicking on “More” option for selected item. But recently I am not getting this option instead getting as “Send for Approval or Cancel Approval”.
How can I enable “Unpublish” button again keeping Power Automate intact ? Or is this default behavior of functionality in SharePoint Online If so is there any documentation available ?
Regards,

Earlier I used to get “Unpublish” button on clicking on “More” option for selected item. But recently I am not getting this option instead getting as “Send for Approval or Cancel Approval”. How can I enable “Unpublish” button again keeping Power Automate intact ? Or is this default behavior of functionality in SharePoint Online If so is there any documentation available ? Regards,Pratik Read More
Replace partial text string from column based on value
I need to replace the value of column A with a value depending on part of the content of the cell in column A.
So let’s say…
A2 = “Company-a2”, I want to replace only the ‘a’ with a ‘c’, making the result “Company-c2” BUT if…
A2 = “Company-b2”, I want to replace only the ‘b’ with a ‘d’, making the result “Company-d2”
Pulling my hair out with this one 🤪

Fabric API: Update user scopes
Context: The token I generated was retrieved by logging in with ‘Login-PowerBI’, followed by “Get-PowerBiAccessToken -asstring” inside of Powershell. This token was then copied and used inside of postman for the authorization. I didn’t use any extra parameters. Since the current usage of a Service Principal is quite limited for the Fabric API, we’re opting to use the personal bearer token.
Scenario: At our company we’re trying to experiment a bit with the MS Fabric API (https://api.fabric.microsoft.com). We’ve been able to use the API to list the workspaces, items, … basically most standard get calls you could imagine.
We are able to create workspaces via my individual token, but I’m unable to create individual items inside of a workspace. This is due to the fact that I don’t have any individual item level scopes assigned to me for now. My current scopes are: “App.Read.All Capacity.Read.All Capacity.ReadWrite.All Content.Create Dashboard.Read.All Dashboard.ReadWrite.All Dataflow.Read.All Dataflow.ReadWrite.All Dataset.Read.All Dataset.ReadWrite.All Gateway.Read.All Gateway.ReadWrite.All Pipeline.Deploy Pipeline.Read.All Pipeline.ReadWrite.All Report.Read.All Report.ReadWrite.All StorageAccount.Read.All StorageAccount.ReadWrite.All Tenant.Read.All Tenant.ReadWrite.All UserState.ReadWrite.All Workspace.Read.All Workspace.ReadWrite.All”
As you can see, it’s quite normal that I’m only able to create a Workspace. But I want to be able to assign e.g. “Notebook.ReadWrite.All” to my user. How do I do this for an individual user? I’m trying to automate as much as possible using Powershell scripts, but the current scopes are quite limited.
Goal: Using a personal bearer token (not generated through a service principal) to create a notebook item. Endpoint: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/fabric/core/items/create-item?tabs=HTTP
Question: Is it possible to do this without the usage of a service principal? I know you can use the copy(PowerBIAccessToken) inside of the dev-tools in your browser, but I want to do it more automatically.
Hopefully this is the right section to ask such things, and thank you in advance for your help!

Unable to Retrieve All Internal Lists Using “GetListCollection” Method in SharePoint 2019
When working with SharePoint on-premises Server 2019, I am encountering issues with the SOAP service. Specifically, I am unable to fetch all internal lists using the “GetListCollection” method. Is there another endpoint to retrieve a comprehensive list of all lists? Please refer to the details below:
Language: Java 17Permissions and Access Rights: Not a concern in this case.Response Status: 200 (No errors encountered).
Despite receiving a successful response, several lists/tables are not being retrieved. The missing lists/tables include:
AttachmentsFileVersionsGetValidTermsGroupsListsPermissionsRolesSubsitesUsersViews
I am aware that SharePoint utilizes a dedicated SQL Server database to store its data. Are the aforementioned lists/ tables stored there, and can these lists be accessed separately from the server?
Any guidance or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Unlocking the Power of Your Data: Build Smarter Apps with AI
Hey everyone, I’m Shivam Goyal, a Microsoft Learn Student Ambassador, fascinated by the incredible world of large language models (LLMs) and tools like LlamaIndex. It’s mind-blowing how these technologies can unlock the power of information, helping us find answers and solve complex problems more efficiently than ever before. I’m excited to see how LLMs will continue to shape the future, changing how we learn, work, and interact with the world around us.
Unleashing the Power of Data with LlamaIndex
Large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT have captivated the world with their remarkable ability to comprehend and generate human-quality text. However, effectively leveraging their capabilities for specialized applications requires bridging the gap between vast datasets and targeted user interactions. This is where LlamaIndex emerges as a game-changer, offering a robust and intuitive framework to connect your data to LLMs seamlessly.
This blog post dives into the recently released Llama-Index-Python samples on Azure, a treasure chest of resources designed to streamline your LLM application development journey. We’ll explore what LlamaIndex is, why it’s such a powerful tool, and how you can leverage the Azure samples to quickly build and deploy LLM-powered applications.
What is LlamaIndex and Why Should You Care?
Imagine having a vast library of information – research papers, technical documentation, customer reviews, internal knowledge bases – and wanting to instantly query that information in a natural, conversational way. LlamaIndex makes this possible. It acts as an intelligent intermediary between your data and the LLM, empowering you to:
Connect & Centralize: Aggregate data from a myriad of sources, including text documents, PDFs, APIs, databases, wikis, GitHub repositories, Notion workspaces, and more. No more siloed information!
Structure & Organize: Transform raw data into a structured, LLM-understandable format using various index structures like vector stores, tree indexes, and keyword tables. Think of it as building a smart, searchable index for your data.
Query & Explore: Interact with your data using natural language queries. Ask questions, seek insights, request summaries, and even generate new content, all powered by the LLM’s advanced understanding of your data.
Let’s take a closer look at how LlamaIndex processes data, often in conjunction with tools like LangChain, to create a powerful system for interacting with your information:
Data Ingestion: Start by ingesting your data, which could be in various formats like PDFs in this example.
Vector Indexing: LlamaIndex uses vector indexing, a technique to represent text data as numerical vectors. This makes it easier for the LLM to understand and compare different pieces of information.
LangChain Integration: This step highlights how LangChain can be integrated to call an embedding model. Embedding models are crucial for converting text into those numerical representations used in vector indexing.
Index Storage: Finally, the constructed vector index, representing your data in a searchable format, is stored on disk (often as a JSON file), ready to be queried.
Azure Samples: Your Fast Track to LLM Application Development
The Azure Samples repository for Llama-Index-Python provides a collection of ready-to-deploy examples that illustrate the versatility of LlamaIndex on Azure. Here’s why you should be excited:
Deployment Made Easy:
Pre-configured Environments: Forget about spending hours on setup. The samples utilize Azure services like Azure Functions, Azure Cognitive Search, and Azure Blob Storage, offering pre-configured environments to jumpstart your development.
Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Embrace modern development practices by leveraging tools like Bicep or Terraform to define and manage your infrastructure. This ensures reproducibility, scalability, and easier collaboration
A Universe of Use Cases: The repository caters to a diverse range of LLM applications, enabling you to:
Craft Intelligent Chatbots: Develop sophisticated chatbots or Q&A systems that provide accurate and context-aware responses by tapping into your knowledge base.
Accelerate Code Development: Leverage code snippets from your repositories to generate new code, reducing boilerplate and speeding up development workflows.
Augment Your Data’s Potential: Enrich existing data, synthesize new data for testing purposes, or translate information across languages with the help of LLMs.
Create Personalized Learning: Build interactive and engaging learning experiences by connecting educational content to LLMs, offering personalized explanations, and dynamically generating quizzes or exercises.
Uncover Market Insights: Analyze market trends, customer sentiment, and competitive landscapes by processing vast amounts of market data, news articles, and social media conversations.
Streamline Legal Operations: Automate contract analysis by extracting key clauses, identifying risks, and generating summaries to simplify legal document review.
A Developer-Friendly Experience:
Crystal-Clear Documentation: Each sample comes with comprehensive documentation that walks you through the code, deployment process, and potential use cases.
Modular and Adaptable Code: The samples are structured modularly, making it easy to customize and extend the code to fit your specific requirements.
Thriving Community Support: Tap into the knowledge and experience of a vibrant open-source community with dedicated support channels, forums, and resources.
Ready to embark on your LLM adventure? Here’s a simple roadmap:
Explore the Repository: Visit the Llama-Index-Python repository on GitHub.
Pick Your Starting Point: Choose a sample that aligns with your interests or the type of application you’re eager to build.
Deploy, Experiment, and Innovate: Follow the provided instructions to deploy the sample on Azure. Experiment, tweak, and explore the endless possibilities!
Beyond the Basics: Here’s how to take your LLM applications even further:
Integrate with Azure OpenAI Service: Connect your LlamaIndex applications to Azure OpenAI Service to leverage the power of state-of-the-art LLMs like GPT-4, unlocking enhanced capabilities and performance.
Connect to Your Unique Data: Extend the existing data connectors or build your own to integrate LlamaIndex with your specific data sources, no matter how specialized they might be.
Experiment with Different LLMs: Explore the flexibility of LlamaIndex by integrating and experimenting with different LLMs beyond the default models provided in the samples.
Fine-tune for Precision: Fine-tune LLMs on your specific datasets to improve their understanding of your domain-specific language and achieve even more accurate and relevant results.

Enhancing Security and Scalability with Reusable Workflows in GitHub and Pipeline Templates in Azure
Introduction
In the world of modern software development, efficiency, security, and scalability are paramount. Leveraging template workflows and reusable workflows in CI/CD pipelines can significantly enhance these aspects. This blog explores the security and scalability benefits of using template and reusable workflows in both GitHub Actions and Azure DevOps.
Understanding Template and Reusable Workflows
GitHub Actions
GitHub Actions allows you to automate your workflows for various tasks, including CI/CD. One powerful feature is the ability to reuse workflows across multiple repositories. This not only ensures consistency but also streamlines the setup process. For more details, you can visit the official GitHub documentation on reusable workflows.
Azure DevOps
Similarly, Azure DevOps offers the ability to use templates in your pipelines. This feature allows you to define common logic once and reuse it across multiple pipelines, promoting DRY (Don’t Repeat Yourself) principles. More information can be found in the Azure DevOps documentation on templates.
Security Benefits
Consistent Security Policies
By using templates and reusable workflows, you can enforce consistent security policies across all your projects. This ensures that critical security steps, such as code scanning, dependency checks, and secret management, are always included in your workflows.
Reduced Human Error
Manual setup of workflows across multiple repositories increases the risk of human error. Templates and reusable workflows minimize this risk by providing a single source of truth, reducing the chances of missing or misconfiguring security steps.
Scalability Benefits
Streamlined Onboarding
Templates and reusable workflows make it easier to onboard new projects and teams. By providing a standardized set of workflows, new repositories can quickly adopt best practices without reinventing the wheel.
Easier Maintenance
Maintaining a single set of templates or reusable workflows is significantly easier than managing individual workflows for each repository. The templates can be stored in a separate repository dedicated to templates, allowing consistent build, test, scan, and deployment steps. Updates to the workflow can be made in one place and propagated across all projects, ensuring that improvements and fixes are consistently applied.
Practical Examples
GitHub Actions
Consider a scenario where you need to perform a security scan on your codebase. By defining a reusable workflow that includes this step, you can ensure that all your repositories benefit from the same security checks.
# .github/workflows/reusable-security-scan.yml
name: Reusable Security Scan
on: [push]
jobs:
security_scan:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
– name: Checkout code
uses: actions/checkout@v2
– name: Run security scan
run: |
npm install
npm audit
This workflow can then be reused in multiple repositories:
# .github/workflows/main.yml
name: Main Workflow
on: [push]
jobs:
call-security-scan:
uses: ./.github/workflows/reusable-security-scan.yml
Azure DevOps
In Azure DevOps, you can create a template for running unit tests and use it across multiple pipelines:
# templates/unit-tests.yml
parameters:
– name: testFiles
type: string
default: ‘**/*.test.js’
steps:
– task: Npm@1
inputs:
command: ‘install’
– script: npm test $(testFiles)
displayName: ‘Run unit tests’
This template can be included in various pipelines:
# azure-pipelines.yml
trigger:
– main
jobs:
– template: templates/unit-tests.yml
parameters:
testFiles: ‘src/**/*.test.js’
Conclusion
Using reusable workflows in GitHub Actions and template pipelines in Azure DevOps not only enhances security and scalability but also simplifies the management of CI/CD pipelines. By centralizing your workflow logic, you can ensure consistency, reduce errors, and streamline the onboarding process for new projects and teams.
For more information, check out the official documentation for GitHub Actions reusable workflows and Azure DevOps pipeline templates.
Happy coding!

Mails duplicated – now we having 230k mails in a shared mailbox – New-ComplianceSearchAction sucks
Hi everyone,
we have an error like this:
Junk email messages multiplying without user actions in Shared Mailboxes – Microsoft Support
We removed everyone from the shared mailbox and it also stopped the duplication. Now we want to delete the mails that got duplicated as the shared mailbox is not working anymore due to storage issues.
How can we achieve this? New-ComplianceSearchAction does not help – even if we put it into a loop with a script i found.
I had to restart it (it hard deleted approx 150k mails) – and now it is not working anymore. It says completed but the count of mails does not go down. I conducted a new search and it comes up with an even bigger count of mails.
How do we get rid of these mails so that our department can start working?

Search Selected Documents with Azure Open AI BYOD Search
I have azure blob with 3 documents (Doc 1, Doc 2, Doc 3) and they are being search through azure open and azure search service which is working perfectly fine. But my requirement is to restrict my search to only Doc 2 and Doc 3. But m unable to find any option through which i can do this. How can this be done? Below is the sample body- { “dataSources”: [ { “type”: “AzureCognitiveSearch”, “parameters”: { “endpoint”: “https://@@@@@@@@@@@@@.search.windows.net”, “key”: “@@@@@@@@@@@@@”, “indexName”: “abcd-index”, “semanticConfiguration”: “”, “queryType”: “simple”, “fieldsMapping”: { “contentFieldsSeparator”: “n”, “contentFields”: [ “content” ], “filepathField”: null, “titleField”: “title”, “urlField”: null }, “inScope”: true, “roleInformation”: “You are an AI assistant that helps people find information.” } } ], “messages”: [ { “role”: “user”, “content”: “tell me about solution versioning” } ]} Read More
Enroll Corporate Owned MAC devices Recommendations
Dear Community
I have Corporate Owned Mac Devices and there is a requirement to enroll them. After reviewing different MS articles it’s unclear where to get started.
The article mentioned different approaches for MAC device enrollment however it require Apple School/Business Manager portal to proceed but as of now i donot have
The other article also mentioned straight forward approach however I am not sure do I still require and need to configure Automated Device Enrollment profile
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/mem/intune/user-help/enroll-company-device-macos
Our goal is simple , need to enroll new Mac Company Owned Devices in Intune. Anyone please suggest or currently manage MAC devices via Intune for any client.
What is best recommended approach to enroll MAC devices via Intune as later on we need to configure Security Policies and Configuration Profiles.
As of now we have fresh tenant and there is no any configuration done so far with respect for MAC devices
