Issue with Discussion Responses Not Being Saved
Over the past few days, my responses to discussions have not been saving properly. After submitting a reply, the portal shows it as submitted, but when I refresh the page, the response disappears. Initially, I didn’t notice the issue, but today I checked one of my replies from last week and found it missing. I tried resubmitting it, but the same thing happened again. Additionally, I’ve noticed that normally, when a reply is posted, it appears in the notifications—but in this case, the replies are not showing up there either. Could you please check if this issue is specific to my account, or if others are experiencing the same problem? Is anyone else experiencing this issue? Any help would be appreciated.
Random audio drops when using optical
For reference I’m using a Fiiok11 and for some odd reason when I’m in game, maybe every 1-2 minutes, the audio randomly goes noticeably quieter, makes a clicking sound then back to normal. I’ve checked and I’m not hammering the disc or CPU so I have no idea? Might it be a driver issue? I’ve tested on usb C and all good. The amp only has one usb C port so I’m not a fan of having to keep unplugging it for different devices

Retrieving Entra ID email address from macOS devices in system context
Dear Team, We are working on retrieving email address of the user joined to Entra ID from Entra-joined macOS devices, specifically while running in a system context. The sudo dscl . -read /Users/$(whoami) RecordName command give the local user name whose password is synced with the entra ID. We would greatly appreciate guidance on how to retrieve the Entra ID joined user’s email address in a system context from Entra Joined mac devices, especially from those with prior experience in this area. Thank you for your support.(URGENT!!) I fell for a phishing scam and ended up losing access to my Microsoft account.
Earlier today (9/13/2025) I ended up falling for a phishing scam via Discord, which ended up having me lose most if not all access to my Microsoft account. What I do know is that they changed the primary email, so my original email no longer works, and that there's a high possibility that they've sold it to a third party based on what they were saying. I was unable to make the automated recovery work because of the original email being changed. I'd hope to possibly get more assistance on this issue, I'll attempt to provide as much proof that I'm the original owner of the account based on my account history as: Original email address Last known password Approximated account creation date Details of my purchases Any assistance on how to proceed with this issue would be greatly appreciated!! Because I have quite a few personal details there that are sensitive. Thank you.Is it possible to request deletion of an old account?
I have an old tech community profile out there that was associated with a previous employer’s email address, and I’d like to have that profile deleted. Obviously I no longer have access to the email address the profile is linked to, so I can’t sign in and delete it myself. Is it possible to submit a request with the profile URL and the email address it was tied to and have someone on the Microsoft side process that deletion?Issues with Multiple Microsoft Accounts Using the Same Phone Number
Hi everyone, I’m having a frustrating issue with my Microsoft accounts and hoping for some advice. I have three separate Microsoft accounts, each with a different email address, because I have three separate Minecraft accounts. However, all three accounts are linked to the same mobile phone number. The problem is that every time I try to verify ownership of one account using my phone number, one of the other accounts seems to go inactive or gets flagged. It seems Microsoft doesn’t handle multiple accounts sharing the same phone number very well. Has anyone dealt with something similar, or does anyone know a safe way to manage multiple Microsoft accounts tied to the same number without causing issues for the others? Thanks in advance!Teams Phone Domain Verification - Weeks of Delays Despite Providing All Required Documents
I'm a small business CEO in Germany, trying to verify my domain for Microsoft Teams Phone. I've been stuck in verification for WEEKS despite providing all required documentation multiple times. Documents Provided: Official Namecheap Order Summary (domain purchase receipt from August 2025) Official domain ownership transfer confirmation to my company SPONTANEUS UG All information requested: domain name, owner, registration date, duration, registrar The Problem: Microsoft support repeatedly rejects these standard domain registration documents, asking for the same information. The requirements keep changing mid-process, and when I request escalation to a supervisor, the requests are ignored. Business Impact: I've paid for Teams Phone, but I'm unable to activate it. This is preventing me from making business calls to prospects - directly impacting my ability to generate revenue. What I Need: Someone at Microsoft who can actually read standard domain registration receipts Escalation beyond the current support agent, who keeps copy-pasting the same responses Teams Phone activation so I can run my business Has anyone experienced similar domain verification issues with Microsoft Teams Phone? How did you get it resolved? Any guidance on proper escalation channels would be greatly appreciated. This shouldn't take weeks when I have all the proper documentation from a major registrar like Namecheap.Phone Link disconnects in 24h2 and Pixel 6a resolved

Background Removal or Replacement for Studio effects
i think one BIG missing feature for studio effects is the absence of Background removal or replacement, for content creators it is very useful because we use the feature every day, and tools in OBS does not lean on the NPU thereby reducing battery life most persons use Nvidia Broadcast simply because of their amazing Background replacement what we need for windows effects is a full featured app like the poly camera pro you find in HP laptops, having something as featured like that as the default studio effects app for windows would be awesome. Microsoft please add this, you already have background blur so removing the background should not be much work i believe Thanks
Teams/Authenticator loop issue
Microsoft Teams/Authenticator are getting caught in an uninterruptable loop. I have tried everything from uninstalling/reinstalling the apps, clearing cache, clearing credentials and resigning in, everything I can think of. The loops continues and am not able to get logged in on the device. Azure sign-in logs show as successful but does not allow to be signed in. Any help is appreciated.
Windows Explorer: Search box: “sparkle” animation - please add a toggle / respect Animation effects
Title: File Explorer search box “sparkle” animation — please add a toggle / respect Animation effects Who thought it was a good idea to add a sparkly magnifying-glass animation in the File Explorer search box? It’s very distracting (a strong exogenous / stimulus-driven attention trigger). Is there a way to disable it, or can we get a toggle? Video (shows the animation): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tvN7ouOXTy0 Steps to reproduce: 1) Open File Explorer → the magnifying glass plays a sparkly animation Expected: With “Animation effects” off, the search UI should remain static. Actual: The sparkle animation still plays even with animations disabled. Workarounds tried: - Settings > Accessibility > Visual effects > Animation effects = Off - Performance Options: unchecked “Animate controls and elements inside windows” - Restarted Explorer / rebooted → Animation persists. System info: Windows 11 Pro, Version 25H2 (OS Build 26220.5790)Language outlook after recovery
My account was hacked and the language setting was changed. I recovered my account but the language remains the same. I changed the language many time and it would say the languged has been changed after clicking save but when i go back to the email the hacked language remains the same. I signed out and this over and over from different devices, different network but the language would not change. anyone went throught the same experience ?Request for Support – Hosting Microsoft Certification Programs
Hello Microsoft Partner Community, My company as a Microsoft Partner is planning to host a series of certification programs focused on Microsoft technologies, particularly Azure, Copilot and Copilot for Microsoft 365. These programs are aimed at educating and onboarding executives and decision-makers from various organizations. We would appreciate guidance on the following: What types of support are available to Microsoft Partners who are organizing certification or skilling events? Can we request free or trial user accounts for Azure and Copilot 365? Since these are paid services, we’d like to offer hands-on experience to participants especially executives before they commit to adoption. Are we allowed to use Microsoft branding (e.g., logos, product names) in our certification materials and promotional content? Can we include “Microsoft” in the name of our certification program, or co-brand it in any way? Is it possible to have our courses accredited, endorsed, or recognized by Microsoft in any official capacity? Are there existing frameworks or programs (e.g., Microsoft Learn, Applied Skills, or Microsoft Certifications) that we can align with or integrate into our offerings? We’re excited about the opportunity to promote Microsoft technologies and would love to ensure our programs are aligned with Microsoft’s standards and best practices. Looking forward to your guidance and support. Best, Eli from MKC
ValueError: Error downloading data: ProxyError in Python in Excel (Microsoft 365)
"Hello, I am experiencing a persistent error when trying to retrieve data from the web using the Python in Excel feature (part of Microsoft 365). The Issue: When executing any Python code within an Excel cell that attempts an HTTP/HTTPS request (e.g., using the requests library), an error occurs. The specific error message is: ValueError: Chyba při stahování dat: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='...') Max retries exceeded with url: / (Caused by ProxyError('Cannot connect to proxy.', OSError('Tunnel connection failed: 400 Bad Request'))) Key Observations and Steps Taken (please review each point): Python in Excel Feature: This issue specifically affects the Python in Excel add-in within Microsoft 365. Consistent Error: The error occurs consistently for any target URL, whether it's https://www.oddsportal.com/ or a simple test page like https://quotes.toscrape.com/ (which is known for easy scraping tests and does not have active protections like Cloudflare). OS Proxy Settings Excluded: All proxy settings in Windows (Automatic proxy setup, Use setup script, Manual proxy setup) are Disabled. The issue is not related to browser proxy settings. Network Connection Excluded: The error persists even when connecting via a mobile hotspot, ruling out the home network (Virgin Media) as the cause. Firewall Excluded: Windows Defender Firewall has been temporarily disabled for all network profiles during testing, and the error still occurs. No other third-party antivirus or firewall software is installed (only Windows Defender). Microsoft Office Reinstallation: Microsoft 365 has been completely reinstalled on the laptop, which did not resolve the issue. Network Reset: A "Network Reset" has been performed in Windows, which reinstalls network adapters and resets network settings. This also did not resolve the issue. System File Check: sfc /scannow was run from an elevated command prompt and found and successfully repaired corrupted system files. However, the ProxyError still persists after a restart. DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth was also run. Creative Cloud: It was observed that Creative Cloud performed a self-repair/update after running system file checks, but this did not resolve the network error in Excel. Task Manager Observation: Reviewing Task Manager processes shows no obvious third-party proxy-like processes running that would explain the error. Conclusion: Given these comprehensive troubleshooting steps, it appears to be a deeply embedded system-level issue affecting how Python within Excel handles outbound HTTPS requests, manifesting as a ProxyError despite no active proxy being configured. The Tunnel connection failed: 400 Bad Request part of the error suggests an unexpected interception or failure at a low level of the network stack, or within the Python in Excel environment itself. Any assistance or advanced diagnostic steps would be greatly appreciated."
blue screen trouble
Hi everyone, I have had my PC for about a year and a half. My specs are 3060 NVIDIA RTX, AMD Ryzen 7, 32 GB ram, 650 power supply. I had it built originally at best buy (I know, I have never heard the end of it) and they built it completely wrong. There was a lot of problems with booting, but I almost never had problems with blue screening. I took it to a local guy to get it fixed and he completely rebuilt my pc basically. The booting problems were completely solved, however now my PC blue screens at least once a day. This could be while I am streaming games on discord, or just playing games regularly (games that don't take up much GPU usage I should add.) I have tried literally everything, I have tried SFC scannow, and DISM commands. I have tried reinstalling drivers, and even reinstalling windows (but not completely, just the option that keeps the files) I've spoken to a lot of my friends and they are running out of ideas as am I. Oh, and the message that keeps popping up on my blue screens is KERNEL_SECURITY_CHECK_FAILURE. Ive also gotten PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA once. Thank you!! Hopefully someone can help me!HTTP Error 500.30 - ASP.NET Core app failed to start which is hosted in Azure Web App
