The true fix for missing Windows 11 Store App.
Here it is ignore other fixes tried them all they don’t work. I lost the Store App in the upgrade from 10 to 11. Even resetting PC never brought it back. So if that sounds similar to how you lost it do this 20 second fix. 1. Open Xbox App 2. Open settings. 3. Click on General settings tab (left second tab on list) 4. In upper right of screen (window) there will be a list of system bundles that are missing (I had three) click install on all of them. When installed it’s done close app. 5. Open Windows settings and go to Apps tab, then Apps and features (very top) scroll down list your welcome Store is back. Go set a restore point cause who knows what a windows update will do next.Reminder: Exam AZ-303 and Exam 304 retire on March 31, 2022
If you are looking to become a Microsoft Certified: Azure Solutions Architect Expert, remember that on March 31, 2022 Exam AZ-303 and Exam AZ-304 will retire. These exams are being replaced by the new Exam AZ-305: Designing Microsoft Azure Infrastructure Solutions, currently in beta. If you’re well along on your certification journey, these are your options: If you’ve already passed Exam AZ-303, pass the new Exam AZ-305 (beta). If you’ve already passed Exam AZ-304 or Exam AZ-301, be sure to pass Exam AZ-303 before it retires on March 31, 2022. If you’ve already passed Exam AZ-300, be sure to pass Exam AZ-304 before it retires on March 31, 2022. Pass both Exam AZ-303 and Exam AZ-304 before they retire on March 31, 2022. If you’re just starting your journey as Azure solutions architect: Earn the Azure Administrator Associate certification (Exam AZ-104) and pass Exam AZ-305 (beta). If you have a current Azure Administrator Associate certification, you’re halfway there—just pass Exam AZ-305 (beta). Is it time to renew? If you’ve already earned the Azure Solutions Architect Expert certification and it’s time to renew it, don’t take Exam AZ-305 (beta). Instead, renew your certification by passing a free online assessment on Microsoft Learn. For instructions, check your Certification Dashboard.Microsoft 365 Certified: Security Administrator Associate certification and Exam MS-500 retiring
As previously announced, we’re retiring the Microsoft 365 Certified: Security Administrator Associate certification and its required Exam MS-500: Microsoft 365 Security Administration, on June 30, 2023. Security-related roles have evolved to deliver solutions in specialized areas—like information protection, operations, or identity management—using multiple technologies. Because of this evolution, this certification no longer has a distinct role. Skills for security administrators are included in certifications like Microsoft Certified: Security Operations Analyst Associate (Exam SC-200: Microsoft Security Operations Analyst), Microsoft Certified: Identity and Access Administrator Associate (Exam SC-300: Microsoft Identity and Access Administrator), and Microsoft Certified: Information Protection Administrator Associate (Exam SC-400: Microsoft Information Protection Administrator), each reflecting the depth of knowledge for its particular specialization. Summary of updates to the Microsoft 365 Certified: Security Administrator Associate certification. The following questions and answers can help you determine how this news impacts your learning journey: I’ve been preparing for Exam MS-500. What are my options? If you’ve been preparing for Exam MS-500, be sure to pass the exam on or before June 30, 2023. I’ve already earned the Microsoft 365 Certified: Security Administrator Associate certification. What happens now? If you’ve already earned the Microsoft 365 Certified: Security Administrator Associate certification, it will stay on your transcript. What about renewal for the Microsoft 365 Certified: Security Administrator Associate certification? Learners with an active Microsoft 365 Certified: Security Administrator Associate certification can renew it for one year (one last time) up to six months after its retirement date of June 30, 2023. I’m considering earning the Microsoft 365 Certified: Security Administrator Associate certification. What should I do? If you’re considering earning the Microsoft 365 Certified: Security Administrator Associate certification, we recommend that you instead consider one or more of these certifications: Microsoft Certified: Security Operations Analyst Associate, Microsoft Certified: Identity and Access Administrator Associate, or Microsoft Certified: Information Protection Administrator Associate.
TLS 1.3 on Windows Server 2019
Hello, I tried to enable TLS 1.3 on Windows Server 2019(IIS 10), for some reason this doesn't work well. I changed the registry settings to change this ❝ [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SecurityProviders\SCHANNEL\Protocols\TLS 1.3\Server] "DisabledByDefault"=dword:00000000 "Enabled"=dword:00000001 ❞ I'm wondering if it's possible to leave it enabled and get it to work.

Some engineers start to provision services manually before they find out this might not be a good thing for the long run. So, they must use Terraform import. If you are using Hashicorp’s Terraform to manage your infrastructure, you can bring existing resources that have been provisioned outside of Terraform. This tuto help you to import Azure resources into a terraform state file. You can do that locally or if you want to initialise the tfstate in a remote local (form a Storage account) So, we are going to import a resource group, a virtual network and a subnet that are created manually; Screenshot from the portal (for the manual resources) First step : create a tf configuration file using manually created resource information (See Screenshot) ***** For you information, we use a tfstate stored remotely in a storage account Second Step : Import Resource details to terraform State After creating the configuration tf file, we can import these resources into it by using the "terraform import" command : terraform import terraform_id azure_resource_id 1- Resource Group : terraform import "azurerm_resource_group.rg_name_auto" "/subscriptions/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/resourceGroups/d-210-rg-ado-si-p-to-6" You can find : **The terraform_id **The azure_resource_id 2- The Vnet : terraform import "azurerm_virtual_network.vnet_auto" "/subscriptions/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxid/resourceGroups/d-210-rg-ado-si-p-to-6/providers/Microsoft.Network/virtualNetworks/d-210-vnet-ado-si-p-to-1" 3-The Subnet : terraform import azurerm_subnet.sub_auto /subscriptions/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxid/resourceGroups/d-210-rg-ado-si-p-to-6/providers/Microsoft.Network/virtualNetworks/d-210-vnet-ado-si-p-to-1/subnets/d-210-snet-ado-si-p-to-2 So, before use this commands, please : 1- access the code folder : cd folder_code 2- connect to the subscription (where you have deployed the manual resources) : az login Select-AzSubscription -SubscriptionId "copy-past the id of the subsc" 3- Terraform init : terraform init -backend-config storage_account_name=xxxxxxxx -backend-config container_name=tfstate -backend-config resource_group_name=xxxxxxxx -backend-config key=xxxxxxx.tfstate Okey, now we can lunch the commands for import config : RG : Vnet: Subnet : Now, you can see the result : terraform state list you can see the content of each imported resource via the following commands: terraform state show azurerm_resource_group.rg_name_auto terraform state show azurerm_virtual_network.vnet_auto terraform state show azurerm_subnet.sub_auto Third Step : Test by running the terraform plan Finally, we can verify the imported resources in the tfstate file. For example, we can see the imported subnet. The purpose of this tutorial is to know the steps to import resources that are manually configured to the tfstate fileMeet the Microsoft Learn experts

Hi, We have installed in our environment Windows Server 2008. We also activated the ESU key, but any computer with Windows Server 2008 (Physical) occur error 0x80070661 in log (EventViewer). Afte reboot, the updates are reverting. Any help us? Best regard. Marco AntonioFonts for MS Office 2019 on Mac OS
Hi All, I've been directed to you experts by the MS Support team. MS Office 2019 stores its fonts in the /Applications/Microsoft Word.app/Contents/Resources/DFonts folder, however, all other fonts on the Mac are stored in either /System/Library/Fonts (system or Apple fonts) or /Library/Fonts (other user-installed fonts). The effect is that the MS fonts don't appear in FontBook and so can't be enabled, disabled or otherwise managed. Further, they can't be seen or used by non-MS apps leading to font consistency issues. To simplify font management and ensure use across all apps, I would like to remove all the MS fonts from DFonts and move them to Library/Fonts. If I do so will I 'break' the Office apps? Are there any fonts that Office requires as a minimum in DFonts to enable Word, Excel and Powerpoint to function? To remove the fonts from DFonts; is it simply a case of adding the fonts to Library/Fonts in the usual way with FontBook and then deleting the fonts from DFonts? Only, this article suggests its more complex and involves editing .plist files: http://www.jklstudios.com/misc/osxfonts.html#officefonts Are there any other restrictions or ramifications to be aware of? Many thanks in advance for your advice. All the best, Charlie,Microsoft's edX courses
MTA certifications include exams for Java and Python. Why's your course for the latter exam not open to new enrollments, unlike your course for the former exam? Since you don't have a certification for R programming (to support Microsoft R Open), why's its course also not open to new enrollments? Thanks.My Azure Certification Journey...!!
I am pleased to share with you that i have successfully completed all 13 Microsoft azure certifications. It has been rewarding this year and amazing learning journey. Azure 13x Certified..!! here with i would like to share my certification journey which might be useful for your journey. My Azure Certification Journey: The journey has started some time in Jan 2021 during peak pandemic period with azure fundamentals AZ-900. The first attempt was successful in the new year beginning 2021, with this confidence i tried the remaining azure certifications and completed this milestone. it took 8 months for me to complete all 13 certifications. The journey was quite difficult but can be achieved if we put right focus and dedication towards the goal. of course, one need to sacrifice few things to achieve the same. I would like to thank to my company and MS for giving me this wonderful opportunity to enhance my azure skills. Still lots to do and help application teams to accelerate cloud adoption of Azure native solutions by accessing and providing Azure deep experience, proven frameworks, methodologies and architectural designs. https://www.credly.com/users/surya-narayana-reddy-vennapusa/badges Here with i am sharing some frequently asked questions, that will help you to understand more. What is the best way to learn and earn certifications ? The best way to learn the course is first to set a clear goal and try to start clearing one after one. continuous learning and some hands-on would help to achieve the same. MS provides free account and sandbox for practicing yourself during preparation. What are the learning sources/materials and tips ? https://docs.microsoft.com/ there are two ways to prepare ( online-free, instructor led-paid) and many other websites..like udemy, youtube..etc. Discuss with team members on azure topics and make a notes. Which ones are difficult to clear ? Professional certifications, had to clear two exams for solution architect (AZ-303,304) and two for devops (AZ-400). it took longer time to complete it. Did I fail any exam ? Yes. I failed twice before clearing Azure AI exam. The questions were different from what I expected but final attempt was successful. How did I manage the time ? Time management is critical to prep yourself. you need to plan both your work, learning and both are equally important. Spend couple of hours after office hours every day and start clearing modules and make clear notes which can be referred before taking exam. Spend more time over weekends or holidays and do practical sessions using sandbox. Try to prepare/gather some sample questionnaires and attempt before the actual exam. Udemy provide some sample questionnaire Is it mandatory to have hands-on experience ? i would say Yes for professional certifications, Not for fundamentals certifications. I am new to cloud, is it possible for me to shift the career in cloud ? Yes, it is possible. all you need is to have self-interest, dedication, passion towards what you are learning. How much time i need to spend for preparation ? it depends upon person to person, how fast you can grasp, understand concepts and test them in lab, sandbox if you are working , i would say daily 2 to 3 hours ( after office hours) and more time on weekends. What is the best time to attempt the exam ? we need to allocate time for it. i tried most of them during night, ie between 9:30 pm to 10:30 pm you have to maintain a very good discipline until exam is finished. please read do's and don’ts while scheduling the exam. What are the logistics required ? good internet speed without any network outage. good personal laptop/desktop with web cam. Official laptop doesn’t work due to firewall restrictions. you will also get notification from Pearson VUE prior to the exam for system test and other formalities. Do you have hands on experience ? Yes, i do have hands on experience and worked on most of the azure services either in office or sandbox lab training. I am part of cloud migration journey since inception and did bulldozer work to pave the road. Last but not the least: Believe yourself, everything is possible in this world. I strongly believe that there is no shortcut to clear certifications. You have to take it seriously, experience it and clear. can you share certification roadmap ? where to start ? Pl refer below flow diagram and understand where to start. Please fee free to share your comments and like if information is useful. i will respond as soon as i can. Wish you all the best and good luck for your cloud journey.
