Excel not Inserting new or copied lines
20 years of Excel and I’ve never had this problem before. Excel is not Inserting (new or copied) lines on two separate files I have open. It is a simple pricing sheet with 10-12 columns (some descriptive, some formulas taking info from 2 or 3 columns in the same line and I want to add several lines of new products above my Totalizing line.
I’ve always highlighted 8 lines,, copied and inserted above the top highlighted line. Today it does nothing. Same if I highlight 8 lines and right click and choose insert lines.. Again nothing. I assume it must be a SETTING of some sort but cant find anything to lead me to it.
What is going on? Help

How can I delete files from a install.wim?
Hi,
I just made the mistake of capturing an old Windows 10 install disk image without first removing documents (files) in Documents, Downloads and Pictures folders. If possible, how can I now delete those files from the install.wim? I understand that I would first have to mount the install.wim. But I don’t know what to do next.
Thank you in advance.

New Teams randomly crashes affecting most applications requiring reboot
Hello
Please i need your help on this issue.
Late last week one of our users experienced an issue with New Teams which has been off-and-ongoing which affected two computers logged in as him.
A similar issue occurred while he was using teams web version. It would crash Google chrome and make other application windows black.
During April, I did an org-wide block of New Teams forced upgrade and Jeremy was able to use old Teams without issue.
I have tried updating the video drivers, removing a potentially problematic webcam, SFC /scan now, repair install of New Teams. DISM commands. Unable to pinpoint a cause or solution. It only seems to happen to this one user.

Listing tabs in a channel encounters “Value cannot be null. (Parameter ‘stringToUnescape’)” error
Hi,
We use the List tabs in channel API in our product, and it works fine for all cases, except one.
We notice that when sending this API with one of our customer’s channel, we will get the following response:
{
“error”: {
“code”: “BadRequest”,
“message”: “Value cannot be null. (Parameter ‘stringToUnescape’)”,
“innerError”: {
“code”: “InvalidRequest”,
“message”: “Value cannot be null. (Parameter ‘stringToUnescape’)”,
“details”: [],
“date”: “2024-05-10T01:38:38”,

“client-request-id”: “10e6b074-a2dc-4950-aae5-8bbe68d838b8”
}
}
}
No matter we tried how many times, this error persists.
For comparison, if we send the same API on another channel, we can get correct response.
Do anyone also encounter this error?
We hope Microsoft could help us figure out why and how we can handle this case.
Thank you.

Adjusting VM Size in Classic Cloud Services Without .csdef access for Migration to CSES
Co-Authors: David Padilla, Pablo Castro
Scenario
Customers migrating from Classic Cloud Service to Cloud Service (Extended Support) often face a challenge if they have been running Classic Cloud Services for years without changes, leading to lost source code or only having access to the final product (package and .cscfg files).
A frequent migration issue arises when the Classic Cloud Service utilizes a deprecated VM SKU Family like (A-Series), and without the source code, customers are unable to modify the VM size in the Service Definition File and repackage the project.
The following Blog will help in this specific scenario to allow the migration without the need for the source code.
Requirement
Access to the config files. If you do not have access to these files, please reference the following blog about How to retrieve Cloud Service Packages from an existing Classic Cloud Service.
Step #1
Change the package extension .cspkg to .zip.
Step #2
Unzip the .cspkg file and change the extension of the .csdx file to zip.
Step #3
Unzip the .csdx file.
Step #4
Access the Service Definition file
Step #5
Open and edit the VM size (in this case we changed from “Standard_A1_v2” to “Standard_D1_v2“) and save it.
Step #6
Since the file has changed, it is necessary to get the new hash, this is possible using the PowerShell command Get-FileHash.
Step #7
On same directory where the Definition file is, the .csman file is available, this is the Manifest.
Step #8
Edit the .csman file, changing the hash of the .csdef using the new one obtained from PowerShell on Step #6.
Step #9
IMPORTANT. It is necessary to zip again all the files, however, if we zip the folder unzipped it will fail:
You need to be inside the unzipped folder where you did the changes of csdef and csman file
Select all the files and zip them.
After, you should move this new zip file outside from “cspkgchangetestSDPackage_56bee6e2-6455-4f15-b8b5-c5328044988c” to “cspkgchangetest” and rename it and change de extension to csdx Example: SDPackage_56bee6e2-6455-4f15-b8b5-c5328044988c.csdx
Delete the old “SDPackage_56bee6e2-6455-4f15-b8b5-c5328044988c” zip file and unzipped folder
Step #10
At “cspkgchangetest” level having the new modified csdx file, you should repeat the steps that you did with the csdef file:
Use the PowerShell command Get-FileHash the get a new hash to “SDPackage_56bee6e2-6455-4f15-b8b5-c5328044988c.csdx”
Edit de csman file changing the hash of “SDPackage_56bee6e2-6455-4f15-b8b5-c5328044988c.csdx”
Now, we are ready to zip the package and deploy.
Step #11 Finally, it should be able to update the cloud service deployment using the new files, to update the VM Size.
DISCLAIMER
While the process described is indeed functional and accurate, it is advisable to employ it only as a contingency measure or as a way to obtain the original csdef file to later use these files as a reference for the creation of a new solution and subsequently create a new deployment

Crafting Future-proof Apps with JavaScript & Azure Cosmos DB | Azure Developers JavaScript Day 2024
Continuing with a series of articles about the Azure Developers JavaScript Day 2024, Sajeetharan Sinnathurai a Principal Product Manager on the Azure Cosmos DB Team at Microsoft, delivered an enlightening session titled “Crafting Future-proof Apps with JavaScript & Azure Cosmos DB”. He delved into the Developer Experience with Cosmos DB, highlighting the latest updates to the JavaScript SDK and the new integration with Vercel for seamless application deployment.
But, before we proceed with the article, let’s first understand what Azure Cosmos DB is.
What is Azure Cosmos DB?
Something that many people don’t know (or maybe they do, but haven’t looked into it) is that Azure Cosmos DB is a globally distributed multi-model database, developed for modern applications and to meet the demands of scability and availability. It offers native support for a variety of data models, including documents, graphs, key/value, column families, allowing developers to create applications with a variety of data needs!
The three main features of Azure Cosmos DB are:
Real-time Intelligent Apps
Build real-time apps: power responsive and intelligent apps with real-time data, ingested and processed at any scale.
Get built-in vector search: query vectors and relevant data efficiently in the same database with MongoDB vCore and distributed PostgreSQL.
Flexible Development
Handle any data, any amount: fuel your apps with high-performance, distributed computing over massive volumes of unstructured data.
Get flexible app development: explore free dev/test options, multiple SDKs, and support for Open-source PostgreSQL, MongoDB and Apache Cassandra.
Fast and Optimized
Drive fast user experiences: build responsive, high-performance customer-facing apps with <10ms latency reads and writes at any scale.
Support mission-critical apps: Get SLA-backed 99.999 percent availability for NoSQL data, continuous backup, and enterprise-grade security.
Optimize costs: pay for only what you use with serverless or autoscale options and enjoy unlimited elastic scale.
Not forgetting to mention that the Azure Cosmos DB API allows you to access different data models, such as:
Azure Cosmos DB for MongoDB vCore
Azure Cosmos DB for PostgreSQL
Azure Cosmos DB for NoSQL
Apache Cassandra
Vector search in Azure Cosmos DB
Reference solutions
And of course we can’t forget that with Azure Cosmos DB you can use the service to create Generative AI Applications!
Now that we understand a little more about Azure Cosmos DB, let’s understand what was covered during the session!
What was covered during the session?
Let’s understand step by step what was covered during the session! If you wish, you can review the session in the video below:
Introduction
Sajeetharan began by introducing Azure Cosmos DB, emphasizing its appeal to developers due to its fully managed service, multi-model support, and global distribution capabilities.
He detailed the service level agreements, cost-effective scaling, and comprehensive security features, presenting Cosmos DB as an ideal backend for modern application needing high availability and low latency.
Enhancements in JavaScript SDK
The session then transitioned into a deep dive into the improvements in the JavaScript SDK, particularly the recent launch of version 4.0. Sajid highlighted several key features:
Client Request Diagnostics: Enhanced insights into database operations to improve troubleshooting.
Hierarchical Partition Keys: Improved data distribution and query performance, essential for SaaS and multi-tenant applications.
Change Feed Support: Allows applications to respond to data modifications in real time.
JavaScript SDK v4 for Azure Cosmos DB
A significant portion of the presentation was dedicated to a live demonstration of a sample application that leverages the JavaScript SDK.
And also, Sajeetharan showcased how developers could utilize the JavaScript SDK to create, retrieve, update, and delete database records, emphasizing the SDK’s capabilities to handle complex queries and operations efficiently.
If you would like more information about the updates to the JavaScript SDK v4 for Azure Cosmos DB, Sajeetharan wrote an excellent article on the subject, which you can access at the link.
About the Sample Application: A RAG Application with Azure Cosmos DB and Next.js
This application, built with Next.js and React, uses Azure Cosmos DB to store session data from OpenAI ChatGPT interactions. Sajeetharan showcased the application’s capabilities, including the seamless integration of Cosmos DB with Vercel for deployment.
Vercel Integration for Easier Deployment
Another highlight was the introduction of the Azure Cosmos DB integration with Vercel. This integration aims to simplify the deployment process for developers, allowing them to deploy their applications directly from Vercel with Cosmos DB as the backend, without incurring additional costs.
Sajeetharan demonstrated this by deploying a chat application, which utilizes the Rack pattern for storing session data, directly through Vercel.
Resource Links and Wrap-up
Sajeetharan concluded the session by providing resources for further learning and exploration of Azure Cosmos DB and its capabilities. He encouraged attendees to experiment with the newly introduced features and to leverage the Vercel integration for streamlined deployment of their applications.
If you want to access the application’s source code, you can access it on GitHub.
Key Takeaways
The session offered a comprehensive overview of how Azure Cosmos DB and the latest enhancements to the JavaScript SDK can help developers build robust, scalable, and future-proof applications.
With the integration of Vercel, Azure Cosmos DB continues to enhance its accessibility and utility for modern web development, ensuring that developers can focus more on their application’s functionality and less on infrastructure management.
The detailed demonstration and the resources provided serve as a valuable toolkit for any developer looking to harness the power of Azure Cosmos DB in their JavaScript applications, making this session a cornerstone of the JavaScript Dev Day event.
