SSO in Azure doesn't work for the test users from the free Microsoft 365 Developer Program
Hi, I have made an integration of SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud with Microsoft MS Teams functionalities: share as a Tab and share a Card. When the link is sent from the main account, which I used while configurating the Microsoft 365 Developer Program, SSO with SAP BTP works correctly. If I am logged with some of the test accounts, the SSO doesn't work. The roles in Azure are the same, the Application CIS was also assigned to all the users. Other then that everything works fine. Could you please help with that?Read this BEFORE you post!

Lenovo Thinkpad E480 Windows 11
Hi, I checked the lenovo website (https://pcsupport.lenovo.com/us/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/thinkpad-edge-laptops/thinkpad-e480-type-20kn-20kq/solutions/ht512623-lenovo-devices-supported-for-windows-11) to see if my thinpad E480 could update to windows 11, and it is specified as a supported pc, but when I check on my laptop, it says it can't install Windows 10. I made sure the install of windows 10 was UEFI, secure boot on, tpm 2 on, etc.. I also installed the lenovo apps like system update and updated the bios. (I tried posting this on the lenovo forums but their website is garbage and wouldn't let me make an account)

Xbox authentication doesn't work on LAN
Starting from around yesterday Minecraft and Xbox authentication stopped working on all devices in my network connected via LAN. This problem doesn't seem to persist with any other applications OR with devices connected to WIFI. I would assume its an issue on my part, but from everything I've tested it seems to happen ONLY when trying to log into the Xbox app and Minecraft, everything else works just fine. Would love some help with this. Sorry if this isn't the correct section for thisAuthenticator Setup
Just got a new PC on Monday and really struggling to 'speak Microsoft' Somewhere I am asked to verify but struggle to provide an acceptable means. Thought I'd try and install Microsoft Authenticator on Android Tablet and cell phone. I use OUTLOOK desktop and have access to my Outlook accout configured together with my regular email account. Authenticator requires confirmation but won't accept my outlook passwor,. won't send me a message to my outlook account (does suggest using my Authenticator app - which is what I am trying to set up - so not very helpful.) The email address is an old one which is no longer in use but sruggle to make changes without some sort of verification. Just going round in circles. Guess I am missing something simple but have spent ages trying to get round this hurdle Any help appreciated. Will try Youtube as well

Good evening/day to all! I am coming here today because this type of error is very frustrating!

HHi! I read and comment on Edge home page off and on all day. About 10 days ago, I tried to post something and got the msg that the session had expired, followed by "log in to comment". But I AM logged in and have been for quite a while. My avatar shows, my history is there, the people I follow are marked, etc. I can't figure out what the problem is and it's driving me nuts. Any ideas would be very much appreciated!Win 10 upgrade to Win 11 problem
Before I used Window Update to upgrade to Win 11 but it failed. The restore process also failed. I had to use a system backup a month before. After the restore, the Window verson was back to 22H2. It should be 24H2 when I started the upgrade. After that I could not update to 24H2 or upgrade to Win 11 through Window update. I need help to solve the problem. Before I upgrade this PC, my notebook and another PC were easily upgraded to Win 11. I think the problem is the Kaspersky. Other machine I used Bitdefender.
Windows 10 ESU not activated
Windows 10 support is ending after next year October. However, while I should be eligible for the ESU program it did not kick in on my PC. This despite having KB5063709 installed. Note: I have two computers with my account, one being on Windows 11 and the other being on Windows 10. The older system does not support Windows 11 due to the CPU restrictions. I would like to extent the support period but I`m out of solution space to get it working. Please advice.
