Planner and SharePoint task list
I’m exploring the use of SharePoint Task Lists alongside Planner. Is there a way to interlink these today, or is Planner expected to support SharePoint task lists more natively in the future? Also, with Planner Agent in the picture, how can these be more aligned and interlinked or even more centralized with SP.
Can't remove external presenter in Microsoft Teams Webinar
Hello, I am trying to remove some external presenters from my Microsoft Teams webinar, but clicking the 'X' button - which normally works - is not removing them. It is likely worth noting that these external presenters who can't be removed are in fact, for some reason, duplicates. In other words, there are three real presenters here but they are each entered twice. There were two other external presenters that I was able to remove, and they did not have duplicate entries. I'm not sure if this has something to do with it. I have tried this on both the desktop client and the web app. Please let me know how this can be solved. Many thanks,
Windows Automatic Repair won't repair
I upgraded my Windows 10 to Windows 11 some time late last year. Recently there was some sort of an update which I had it install before I shut down. When I booted up my computer and it directed me to Automatic Repair. I tried scanning for corrupted files but nothing seems to work. I can't start in safe mode either. I tried several times to continue onto Windows but kept bringing me back to the Automatic Repair. I finally noticed that for the option to continue to Windows, it says "Continue to Windows 10" when the OS now is Windows 11. I'm wondering if somehow it's trying to boot up Windows 10 when it's no longer available hence it's in this Automatic Repair to repair an OS that's no longer available? Has anyone ever ran into this issue? If so, how did you resolve it?

How to manage Instagram analytics data for multiple client accounts.
Hi Microsoft Community, I am a social media manager and I regularly work with Instagram analytics data for multiple client accounts. I want to use Microsoft tools to better analyze this data and create professional reports. I have a questions for the community: I export https://igunfollowtracker.com/follower and engagement data from Instagram in CSV format. When I import this data into Excel, the date columns are not formatting correctly and pivot tables are showing wrong results. How can I properly format date columns in Excel when importing social media CSV data?
Windows Explorer 11 Jumps to top (Home) when browsing file folders
I haves seen many users posting about having this issue on the Internet with no solutions to the issue. When browsing through FOLDERS in Windows Explorer, the search jumps back to the top of the page to HOME. This is extremely frustrating, especially as one drills down in the file structure and then you are shot to the top of the page. I have seen a lot of suggestions with settings, but nothing definitive. Users are calling it a bug in Windows 11, but I can't believe Microsoft would not have fixed this most irritating issue yet.???????Can we get more guidance and feedback on the moderation being done on the messages
I have been an active poster on the Excel forum but every so often my posts will just disappear. Sometimes our message will be there but an attachment will be missing. Sometimes messages disappear but then show up hours or days later. Can someone PLEASE give us some insight into what is happening. Is this an auto-moderator or actual person? Either way can we please get a message informing us that our message is being held or rejected and why. How are we supposed to learn if we get no feedback. I don't appreciate spending time re-creating a worksheet (because these new posters aren't even allowed to attach their excel file for us to see) and then create a formula solution, write up how it works and then just have it all disappear. Makes me think Microsoft doesn't really care for me to help. And BTW, can you please revisit the reasoning behind not letting new accounts attach files. Is it a space/size issue? or is it a security issue? if the concern is space/size then make a limit on the file size. Security issue, make a limit on file types. All this tends to do is force members to ask the user to post the file using a file share service like onedrive, but if they use another service it can be a much larger security risk.Getting to the right page to "Start a discussion"
Seeing some confusion about how to get to the right page for a Community where you can start a new discussion. e.g. Where / How to find "Ask a question" | Microsoft Community Hub Office outlook 365 .. where are emails saved? | Microsoft Community Hub I have to admit that it is not clear to me what the difference between these links is. Community Lounge | Microsoft Community Hub Tech Community Discussion | Microsoft Community Hub Why only one has "Start a discussion"? Why does a Web Search tend to land me on the one that doesn't have "Start a discussion"? Why the "Discussion Spaces" button on the one with no "Start a discussion" doesn't make "Start a discussion" appear or take me to the URL that does have "Start a discussion"?
How can I install Visual Studio 2022 v17.12.6 Community Edition?
Hello everyone, I need to install Visual Studio 2022 version 17.12.6 (Community Edition) for compatibility with the InDesign 2026 SDK, which requires this specific version for building plugins. However, when I checked the Microsoft Visual Studio downloads and release history pages, I could only find the Professional edition installer for version 17.12.6. I was unable to locate the Community edition for this exact version. Could someone please guide me on where I can download Visual Studio 2022 v17.12.6 Community Edition, whether it is still officially available, or if there is any way to install this specific version using the Visual Studio installer or an offline layout? Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.Replies not showing up on discussion board
Hi all, I have a problem I bumped into in excel and went to the excel discussion board to see if I could get help. I have had some answers that don't work and when I tried to reply to these people one out of maybe a dozen of my replies got published. None of them had personal info or bad mouthing or anything like this I am trying to figure out why they don't get published so I can solve the problem. Any help will be appreciated. Regards, LarryD365 Licensing vs Security Roles – Why can users access data without the required license?
I am working as a Power Apps developer in a Dynamics 365 environment that has the Field Service module enabled. In the same environment, some users only have Sales licenses. I assigned a security role that provides read access to the Warehouse table to a user with a Sales license. The user is able to access and read the data successfully, even though they do not have a Field Service license. This makes me unclear about how licensing is enforced in Dynamics 365. If security roles alone can grant access to tables, how do licenses actually restrict functionality? Why is it necessary to purchase additional licenses if users can still access data through security roles? Could someone clarify how licensing enforcement works in this scenario and what the best practice is?
