Revoking elevated privileges in Endpoint Privilege Management
I found a thread from last year asking this question. When I revoke someone’s elevated access in Intune Endpoint Privilege Management (removing them from the AD group linked to an Intune EPM policy) the “run with elevated access” option remains in the right click context menu. The post from last year said it can take hours for access to be removed but that the app was still in preview mode. This was over a year ago so I’m wondering if anyone from Microsoft or anyone can advise if this is now quicker or if there is a way to speed it up?
We want to start a secondary proof of concept with multiple policies with different levels of access, but testing this would take so long if we’re waiting 8+ hours each time we remove access.
Thanks all

How do I change the SharePoint Start Page?
I’m setting up a SharePoint tenant; we have multiple sites, and essentially each one relates to a department of the company. We’re using modern SharePoint online.
When we go to the SharePoint Start Page, we see the standard lists of “News from Sites” and then “Favourite Sites”. However, we’d really like to change this so that it’s more in tune with the individual sites. How do we do this?
I’m happy to write Web Parts, but we can’t see any way to add them. At the moment it seems as though our options are:
1. Create a landing page and then tell SharePoint to use it as the Home Page – we tried this but couldn’t figure out how to tell SharePoint to use it.
2. Viva Connections – we were able to set up a connection experience, but then couldn’t get any further. We set up a communications site, and then tried to post its URL into the URL box that popped up, but again, SharePoint didn’t seem to pick up on it to use it.
Apart from this we’ve been able to customize SharePoint really well, but the start page looks terrible, and we really need to change it otherwise people won’t use it and we might as well go back to the old system we had.
Can anyone tell me what the options are here, and how to implement them?

Forumlas to use for horizontal data entry
Hello,
I am trying to create a spreadsheet that will use a master list of data across two columns and then sync with other pages in the same workbook to produce mini lists for each subset of data.
Ultimately I want to have one list with the source data e.g.
That then links to other sheets but auto fills when the user starts typing the code in across three cells e.g. user would enter the data into ‘unit code’ area below and once the pattern had been identified in cell B5 the information would automatically fill into cells C5 and D5
I believe this can be done using an IF formula and Vlookup but am just not sure how to execute this. Any help on where to look or how to do this would be great!

Sharing links and Direct access – Link settings
In July 2023, Microsoft tried to improve the sharing experience. https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/microsoft-onedrive-blog/feature-deep-dive-simplified-sharing-across-microsoft-365/ba-p/3883566
Unfortunately, it is still extremely confusing.
Could you please confirm that the link settings (Anyone, People in, People with existing access, People you choose) are not relevant when you choose ‘Share’ and click the button ‘Send’?
It is not explained this way on the official support page https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/share-sharepoint-files-or-folders-1fe37332-0f9a-4719-970e-d2578da4941c but from my testing the link settings apply to the button ‘Copy link’ only.

New Teams’ Contact Cards will randomly stop displaying
Hello,
Ever since the company I work for switched to New Teams a rather annoying bug started happening at a seemingly random pattern: hovering the mouse pointer over a contact won’t trigger the display of it’s contact card.
I’m sure it is not a local-machine issue since, from talking to coworkers, I’ve found out that this is rather widespread. I’ve also seen a variety of posts in Microsoft’s Community Forums regarding this issue, some that date back to 2023, and it clearly hasn’t been properly addressed by any Microsoft staff so far.
I’ve seen a variety of tweaks that do manage to, sometimes, bring it back temporarily. Those were always suggested by users. I haven’t seen a single response from Microsoft’s staff in this forum regarding this matter that was actually useful. Most times it’s actual non-sense, such as clearing Chrome or Edge’s cache or messing with the Members’ Settings under teams tab within the application (which also didn’t seem to work for anyone, since these replies never get a single upvote but rather angry responses).
Do we have any actually useful suggestions on how to tackle this issue?
Best regards,
Rafael.

Can’t find Control Panel on Windows Insider
I’ve been using the operating system for a while now, but suddenly I can’t seem to locate the Control Panel anywhere. I’ve tried searching for it in the Start menu, checking the Taskbar, and even looking in the Settings app, but it’s nowhere to be found. I’ve checked online for solutions, but none of the usual troubleshooting steps have worked for me. Has anyone else experienced this issue or know how I can get my Control Panel back?

Since CB 2403, downloading applications through CMG during task sequence not working anymore
Hello everyone,
since the 2403 ConfigMgr Upgrade we have the issue that during task sequences downloading applications doesn’t work anymore. TS is stuck on “Install Application” until it times out after hours. This happens only, if content is being retrieved by a CMG. Packages are working pretty fine, it is just applications.
On Reddit, a few others are reporting the same. One solution provided was to disable Branch Cache in client settings, but this doesn’t help during a task sequence.
Downloading the same applications within Windows and the Software Center through CMG is working well.
Anyone experienced this issue and may have a solution?
Cheers,
Ray

DX12/11 sample for MAUI
I am currently working on porting our 3D rendering SDK to support MAUI for Windows, and we have already already support for .NET8 Winforms, WPF on Windows, and MAUI on Android and iOS. Are there any DX12 or DX11 based samples or demos that we might have missed?

What’s New: Create your own codeless data connector
Today we’re announcing the general availability of the Codeless Connectors Platform (CCP) in Microsoft Sentinel that provides partners, advanced users, and developers the ability to create custom connectors for ingesting data to Microsoft Sentinel.
How is this CCP different from the previous version?
The initial version of the CCP was announced in January of 2022. Since then, we’ve improved upon the platform and the legacy release is no longer recommended. This new version of the CCP has the following key improvements:
Better support for various authentication and pagination types.
Supports standard data collection rules (DCRs).
The user interface and connection configuration portions of the codeless connector are separate now. This allows the creation of connectors with multiple connections which wasn’t possible previously.
At present, CCP allows connections to any data source with a public REST API endpoint.
Key benefits of using CCP:
Eliminates the need to write code for connecting to public REST APIs.
Offers a scalable, built-in Poller as a service.
Provides configurable UI components for your connector.
Enables monitoring of your connectors; CCP integrates with Sentinel Connector Health messages, allowing for troubleshooting and health status updates.
Currently, CCP support connectors that are based on RestAPI, S3 and GCP.
Getting started
Prerequisites
Before building a connector, understand your data source and how Microsoft Sentinel needs to connect.
Data Collection Endpoint (DCE)
A DCE is a requirement for a DCR. Only one DCE is created per log analytics workspace DCR deployment. Every DCR deployed for a Microsoft Sentinel workspace uses the same DCE. For more information on how to create one or whether you need a new one, see Data collection endpoints in Azure Monitor.
Schema of the output table(s).
It’s important to understand the shape of your data stream and the fields you want to include in the output table. Reference your data source documentation or analyze sufficient output examples.
Research the following components and verify support for them in the Data Connector API reference:
HTTP request and response structure to the data source
Authentication required by the data source.
For example, if your data source requires a token signed with a certificate, the data connector API reference specifies cert authentication isn’t supported.
Pagination options to the data source
We also recommend a tool like Postman to validate the data connector components. For more information, see Use Postman with the Microsoft Graph API.
Build the data connector
There are 4 components required to build the CCP data connector.
Output table definition
Data Collection Rule (DCR)
Data connector user interface
Data connector connection rules
Follow the steps for creating each component before creating the deployment template.
Deploy the connector
Copy the contents of the ARM deployment template.
Follow the Edit and deploy the template instructions from the article, Quickstart: Create and deploy ARM templates by using the Azure portal.
Verify the codeless connector
View your codeless connector in the data connector gallery. Open the data connector and complete any authentication parameters required to connect . Once successfully connected, the DCR and custom tables are created. View the DCR resource in your resource group and any custom tables from the logs analytics workspace.
Refer to the following illustration as an example of one of the connectors: this connector requires token endpoint, authorization token, user activity logs endpoint, client ID and client secret.
Note that It may take up to 30 minutes to see data begin ingesting.
What to Expect in the Future:
1. Platform extensibility:
Support APIs that are based on nested API calls.
Support for push type connectors.
Allow selection of endpoint in multi rule connectors.
KQL transformation in ingest time.
and more…
2. Dedicated webinar for creating a codeless data connectors.
3. UI that will assist creating codeless data connectors.
