Mailbox not removed from Outlook after delegation is removed
Hi all,
I have somewhat strange issue with Outlook. An user had access to a shared mailbox via the delegation in Exchange. With auto-mapping the mailbox was visible/accessible in Outlook.
Now the delegation for the mailbox is removed, but the mailbox is still visible in Outlook. When clicking the mailbox, the user gets an error and the mailbox isn’t accessible (= correct behaviour). In OWA the mailbox is not accessible, as expected.
What could be a reason that the mailbox is shown in Outlook? And how can we remove the mailbox in Outlook? I tried to make a new Outlook profile and even a new Windows profile. But without success so far.
Kind regards,
Arjan

Exchange online – Records Management & Use parent folder policy
Good day,
We are in the process of testing and evaluating using Exchange online & Records management to mark items as a records for an x amount of years so that users cannot delete or edit the items during the retention period. Afterwards the items will be removed.
We are now seeing the following:
Mails that are labeled with a record label restricts the user to edit or delete the mail with the following notification “Outlook cannot delete one or more items because of a retention policy”
However when a user navigates to Assign policy and select Use parent folder policy the record retention label gets removed and the user can indeed remove a mail that was actually not ment to be removed.
All of the default retention tags were removed from the Default MRM policy except move to Online Archive after 2 years.
Is this by design? Or is there a way to disable or remove “user the parent folder policy” option?

How to Fix Explorer.exe Crashing Issue
Greetings everyone! Following a fresh installation of Windows 11 Home edition, I proceeded with Windows updates. However, an issue has emerged with Explorer.exe, as indicated by the event log:
– Faulty application: explorer.exe
– Application version: 10.0.22621.2792
– Faulty module: Windows.UI.Xaml.dll
– Module version: 10.0.22621.2861
– Exception code: 0xc000027b
– Error offset: 0x00000000000000872d20
– Bad transaction ID: 0x0xE7C
– Application start time: 0x0x1DA317FB70A9764

– Incorrect module path: C:WindowsSystem32Windows.UI.Xaml.dll
– Report ID: dd309652-d50a-45e5-9365-a716c5fb4ee5
I have encountered crashes within Explorer.exe, leading to spontaneous restarts. Despite attempts to troubleshoot using sfc /scannow and restorehealth methods, the root cause remains elusive. These crashes occur randomly, such as while interacting with the taskbar, Windows Explorer, or accessing settings. Reinstalling Windows from scratch is undesirable as the issue arose post a clean installation and subsequent updates.

Unable to Open “Personalize” or “Display” Option After Right-Click on Desktop

How to Restore Recovery Partition without Using a USB Flash Drive
Hello,
I attempted to clone a disk to another using the AOMEI Partition Assistant tool. Although the cloning process appeared to be successful, when I tried to boot from the cloned disk, it immediately displayed a blue screen error with code 0xc00000e. Selecting F1 for recovery environment resulted in a reboot to the same screen, while choosing F8 for startup settings flashed the screen briefly with no further action. Even repeatedly pressing F8 during boot did not bring up the recovery environment.
I then tried rebuilding the Master Boot Record (MBR) using the AOMEI tool, but it did not resolve the issue. The clone disk is a Micron SATA SSD connected to another PC via a SATA to USB adapter. Unfortunately, I do not have a USB flash drive to create a bootable media using the official Windows tool.
I downloaded the Windows 10 ISO, mounted it virtually, and ran the setup. However, the setup only offered to install on the current system drive and did not provide an option to repair another Windows installation on the SSD connected via USB.
Is there a way to repair the Windows 10 installation on the cloned drive using the resources I have available? I have another working laptop with Windows 11 and the SATA USB adapter, but no USB flash drive. I suspect the recovery partition may be faulty or missing, although it was likely the same on the original disk, as the recovery does not run and the recovery partition shows only a small amount of available space.
I have access to the original drive from which the clone was made, but I should not make any modifications to it to avoid any risks with the data.
Thank you for your assistance; this is crucial for me. Best wishes.

Question About the SSD in Dell XPS 9500
Hello everyone, I recently acquired a pristine Dell XPS 9500 to replace my damaged one. The new laptop is identical in model, processor, and graphics. I’m wondering if I can simply transfer the SSD from the damaged laptop to the new one without any complications. Both machines are running Windows 11 Pro, and I’d prefer to avoid the hassle of transferring files, college software, etc., as it can be tedious and time-consuming. Your assistance on this matter is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

“Screen Locks Before Activating Screensaver”
Our organization is currently utilizing Lenovo laptops running Windows 11 22H2 Enterprise edition. For the past five years, we have implemented a Group Policy Object (GPO) to manage our screensaver settings. However, we have recently observed a brief ‘locking’ screen appearing before the screensaver activates. We are seeking assistance to bypass the locking screen and have the screensaver start directly. Has anyone encountered and resolved this issue before?

How to Open wt.exe on a Clear Screen
I’m finding this to be quite a simple task, but I just can’t seem to find the solution.
Upon executing wt.exe with the parameter “-p “Windows PowerShell”” and wt.exe with the parameter “-p “Command Prompt””, I am faced with the following issue:
Is there a method to avoid displaying the “logos” or to include a cls command in the command line itself?
Ideally, I am looking for a solution that can be directly implemented via the command line, rather than relying on a configuration-based approach. However, I am open to exploring any available options.

The Layout.ini File is Missing from My Prefetch Folder
Hello, I’ve observed that the layout.ini file is no longer present in the windowsprefetch directory and it is not being generated even when using the “Rundll32.exe advapi32.dll,ProcessIdleTasks” command. This change might be due to relocating the collection folders from C:/ SSD to D:/HDD. Thank you.

How to List Details of Teams Apps
A question asked about filtering Teams apps based on their blocked status. The Teams admin center doesn’t support this kind of filter and getting details of Teams apps is surprisingly difficult. For instance, you can’t get a list of the 2,500+ apps shown in the Teams admin center. PowerShell cmdlets are available to list Teams apps, but they focus on apps known to a tenant rather than the entire catalog.

Appropriate Data Store
Hi all,
I am an ex-sql server dba now getting my hands dirty again and building a new system. I have been using azure sql which is working absolutely fine for the small datasets however I will be importing some timeseries data – I’ve imported around 77 million records a month. Azure SQL seems to be ok when appropriately indexed but when I imported the data into a Azure Synapse Dedicated SQL Pool it seemed much faster out of the box. This is a relatively expensive solution though and Big Query probably offers a similar experience for cheaper (as claimed by google).
I haven’t seen much information online around Azure Synapse Dedicated SQL Pools so I’m wondering if that is an area microsoft is pushing in the future or if there a better alternative within Azure.
I want to continue to query the data via sql which i can with Azure Synapse Dedicated SQL Pools and also Big Query,
Any advice please?

How to add-in feature Open files on One Drive with other application
Hi Team
I am developing an electronic signature application. We now want to integrate it with OneDrive, and the concept is outlined below:
Users utilize OneDrive to manage their documents. They should be able to right-click or select multiple files and then choose “Open with other application,” which should support opening and navigating to my application. (You can refer to the SignNow application with Google Drive for an example.)
Based on my research, I need to follow these steps to achieve the idea:
Publish the application to appsource of microsoftUsers can install the add-in on OneDrive to use it as a feature for opening files with other applications
I am not entirely sure about our research or which steps need to be taken to achieve the goal. It would be helpful if you could assist me in verifying the following:

How to create Catalina boot USB installer on Windows PC?
I’m a technical writer and web designer, so I have a good handle on software and tools. However, I’m more familiar with macOS environments and usually work with a MacBook M1.

Can anyone provide a step-by-step guide or point me to reliable resources for creating Catalina boot USB installer on Windows? The official createinstallmedia command does not work on Windows PC!
