Synchronize User Settings Between Devices
When I use a private Microsoft 365 account, I can synchronize device settings between devices. However, if I use a Microsoft 365 business account, the setting is disabled. In Windows Settings -> Accounts, I see a message like this: ‘Synchronization not available for your account. Contact the system administrator to solve the issue.’ I cannot understand where to enable this synchronization. How can I do it? Can you help me? Thanks. CB

Send-Teams-adaptive-card-on-incident add Entities
Hello everyone, I’m looking for a way to insert Entities into the adaptive card. The method I use for Outlook, namely HTML, I can’t use it because it’s not supported. Do you have any ideas? My goal is, in addition to the incident, to show the involved entities, for example, account, host, IP, file etc.

Outlook on my Macbook Pro isn’t syncing my gmail account (even though it thinks it is!)
I have been using Outlook on my Macbook pro with my Gmail account for over a year with no issues. Then suddenly, it stopped syncing. Even when clicking ‘sync’, it goes through the process with no error messages, but it doesn’t actually sync the e-mails. I need to actually quit and restart the app to sync, but it only works the one time at launch. It also won’t send an e-mail – they just sit in the outbox, until I quit the app and restart, then they’ll send.
Any ideas on how to fix?

Automatically insert formatted dropdown rows as per cell value
I very much need some help with my current project as my knowledge of excel is limited.
I have been asked to create a spreadsheet for a survey.
I have a dropdown table where the surveyor can choose from each column, however, I need the sheet to insert the formulated rows as per the sites number of power points i.e. Site 1 has 45 points so will need 45 rows inserted automatically to be completed. Site 2 has 13 point so 13 rows and so on.
I also need the number of points to be quite high depending on building size so could go into the hundreds.
I also need a total at the bottom of one of the columns.
As the table above shows, the total AP’s for this particular site is 63 which is a v lookup of a job number. I need 63 rows then inserted as per row 2. Row 1 shows the information already selected that the surveyor will choose from the dropdowns.
Is this possible?
Many thanks
Nicki

A problem with storage space.
I have a problem with storage space. When I first registered in the program, I had enough space. Then suddenly the space became not enough. Now I am unable to open the email and I am able to use the program.
Of course, I mean the program that is OneDrive.
Now I can’t open my personal email.
Note that the program was sufficient for all the data I have now, and I do not know what has changed.
May God bless him, Samra. If I have a solution to this problem, send me this email. Thank you.

MS disabling older version of OneDrive, leaving many of us high and dry
I am very, very angry with Microsoft and its attitude to OneDrive versions for slightly older operating system (specifically Mac). For one reason or another, mainly travel and staying in different locations as well as sometimes having to share files with my daughter, I own and operate four different Macbook Pros which I have had for many years and which still work fine.
Once they were ‘modern’ and ‘recent’, now they are – only in years – getting on but all of them work as well as they always have done. They range from two 2012 models, on 2013 model and one 2014 model and their operating systems ranger from Mojave, Catalina to Big Sur. And even Big Sur is on the brink!
Unfortunately none can be upgraded any higher. And that is the problem. In recent months it seems Microsoft have disabled older versions of OneDrive. The trouble is I have never had a problem with OneDrive (which is essential to my work) but bit by bit the older machines can no longer use it and I am STUFFED.
AND this can happen, as today from one day to the next as ‘support’ ends. I assume when you log in the system detects which version you are using, notes that it is ‘no longer supported’ and disables it. So much for the customer!
I cannot use newer OneDrive versions without updating my OSes and I can’t do that without ditching all for older machines and getting more recent models (some of which, Apple, have rather poor rep). For one thing that would simply cost too much.
VERY many other software companies keep an accessible file of legacy versions, but OneDrive does not. It’s excuse – they don’t have the resources to ‘support’ older versions is prime cack: no ‘support’ is necessary. It is plain to me, in cahoots with Apple and PC makers they want to force us to buy new gear. But if the old gear still works perfectly well – WHY!
It is the the sly disabling older versions of OneDrive which really gets to me – one minute I can download and upload stuff I write, the next I can’t. And there is NOTHING I or anyone else can do about it.
Microsoft take note: think of us, your customers, who helped make you big in the first place!

b26085 – two kind of Arc Setup Wizard troubles
Hi everyone,
two different things in one bucket:
1. user reports indidate issues the Arc Deployment using the new wizard might fail
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-my/answers/questions/1660985/azure-arc-configuration-the-given-key-was-not-pres
Error: The given key was not present in the dictonary
2. Download of Arc Connected Machine Agent fails
I have tried to reproduce this today but even failed before the reported step
Error: Could not download AzureConnectedMachineAgent.msi
Has the link or redirector been changed?
according to process monitor it is trying to reach an address that looks like an attestation address, but no public IP.

I can’t access Microsoft Lists.
I added an item to one of my Lists, then refreshed the page and the List became inaccessible. The page says “Try refreshing the page – something went wrong and we couldn’t get the page to display” (01.png). But no matter how many times I refreshed, things didn’t get better.
Correlation ID: 956a25a1-f06f-5000-7a29-fe3615c441a5
I’ve tried changing browsers and web environments, and I’ve tried using other devices (like my phone) to access List, but nothing works.
Perhaps one of the engineers on the Microsoft Lists team can help me see what’s going on? Thank you so much! :raising_hands:

Named Lambda Function Error Bug?
I am not sure if this is a bug, but it seems odd to me. Lets says you want to create a Lambda function which outputs “#N/A” under a certain condition by using the NA() function, i.e.:
=Lambda(input,if(input=0,NA(),1))(A2:A3)
If the “input” is selected to be {0,1} as contained by A2:A3, then the output is {#N/A,1}, as intended. Note here that for the cell containing “#N/A”, Excel does not give the arrow in the top left corner of the cell that indicates “value not available error”.
However, if this lambda function is converted to a named formula and the same input values are given (i.e., {0,1}), then Excel again outputs {#N/A,1}, except the cell with #N/A has the error indicator in the top left corner indicating that the output is “not an available error” This seems inconsistent with the previous result.
Finally, if the named function is modified such that it also allows specification of the output if the input = 0, i.e.:
=Lambda(input,output,if(input=0,output,1))(A2:A3,NA())
then the error indicator no longer appears in the cell with the #N/A output.
Perhaps this is intentional and I am not using these functions properly. However, having the error indicator appear on an intentional NA() output is contrary to the other uses of NA(). I prefer to use NA() as outputs as they are not plotted by graphs and hence other outputs are typically not useful for my purposes.
Here is screenshot of the inputs (A2:A3) and outputs.

b26085 – Telemetry disclaimer will appear for each user
Dear Windows Server Insider Team,
much appreciate your change, that you now offer the same information about telemetry in sconfig as we were used to in OOBE (GUI).
The change comes with a potential unwanted behaviour:
The disclaimer and question for telemetry settings comes up with every use that is logging on for the first time (or starting sconfig). No matter GUI or Core Installation option.
repro:
install a new WS 2025 b26085 (GUI or Core)
logon as local admin
open sconfig (invoked automatically on Core)
on GUI the OOBE prompts you to choose a setting, independently of the sconfig
disclaimer prompts you choose a setting
domain join the server
reboot
logon as domain admin
open sconfig (invoked automatically on Core)
on GUI the OOBE prompts you to choose a setting, independently of the sconfig
disclaimer prompts you choose a setting again
This will continue with every other local or domain user that is logging on, not tested yet.
But it is also happening on GUI with the telemetry question at first logon
This might also break some automation processes.

How can I resize a level 2 grouping in a row-based outline structure.
PC/Windows 10
Microsoft 365
Version 2403 Build 16.0.17425.20176) 32-bit
Summary: I need to reset a level 2 grouping in a row-based outline structure to match a new size (i.e. adjust the number of lines within a sub-group directly).
Issue: I know how to set up outline levels, but the only way I know of to readjust the number of rows in a level 2 grouping is to delete the entire outline structure and recreate my outline groupings from scratch.
Hoped for Result: I would like to find a way to simply select and adjust the number of rows in any particular existing level 2 sub-grouping directly (rather than recreate the entire outline structure).
===========================================
Description: I have a simple spreadsheet in Excel where I keep weekly paycheck figures for my wife. I use a 2-level outline to divide the paycheck rows into Year (Level 1) and Month (Level 2) to make things easy to work with.
Each year, I copy the prior year’s outline into a new tab, empty the existing data, and use the now empty sheet as my template for the new year’s work. Of course, the number of paycheck weeks within each month changes with the year. But I find that as I create the right number of weeks within each month (adding and deleting lines to match the paydates), the Month (level 2) grouping ‘edges’ get slightly off, that is, the beginning and end of that Level 2 group become off by a row of two as I add/delete lines within that particular group. That many times propagates down the level 2 outline, altering the boundaries for other months in ways both weird and wonderful. I would like to reset any particular Month (level 2) grouping directly to match the new actual month groupings without affecting other level 2 groupings. Can you help me?

Signing up for Non-profit 365 basic
Hi
We are based in the UK, and I have signed up for MS non profit via TechSoup and Charity Digital; I have been told that we have been approved as a non-profit. I have set up the MS Admin Center and associated our domain. When I come to select the free MS 365 basic package from Billing|Purchase Services for our users I am offered the “paid for” version – no free version available.
I have also noticed that when I log into the Nonprofit Hub (not even sure what this is, or whether it’s important), I get the message:
“Something went wrong
We cannot allow you to proceed at this time. Please contact support and reference message code 920-123190 and transaction 5077c6a9-8a5b-4b35-af78-3291ed34dc25.
I have posted a query with support, but nothing has happened.
We are a small, newly established, UK charity and MS is a very important step for us, can I have some help please to set up our MS Non-profit account.
Thanks

add minutes to Time/Date column
Hi,
I am still looking for help on a formula that will allow me to add 45 minutes to a Time/Date column on a powerapps form. The user selects the date and time and I need to have 45 minutes added to that time.
I have a calculated column but I think I will replace that with a text label, but either way can’t figure out how to add the time.
The time/date column- Diversion ON_DataCard2
Calculated column – Diversion Comm Time_DataCard1
Thanks for the help!
