Environment Variables And Password Issues
Dear Microsoft Support Team, Following our previous conversation, I understand my issues require escalated technical support. I'm detailing my concerns below for your specialized assistance. Issue 1: Disabled Environment Variable Controls I'm running Windows 11 Home and cannot modify system environment variables through the standard GUI. The "Edit" button remains disabled despite being the sole administrator account on this PC. This has created a critical problem with my Java and Tomcat PATH configurations. Currently, my system is detecting an outdated Java version, and Tomcat executables cannot be located - both due to incorrect PATH settings that I'm unable to modify. Issue 2: Authentication Method Constraints I need to transition from my current PIN authentication to a more secure password system. However, the "Password" option in Sign-in settings only permits changes to my existing account password, which is not my intent. The Windows Hello PIN section only allows modifying my existing PIN rather than replacing it with a robust password. This limitation presents significant security concerns for my system. These issues are hampering my development work and system security. I would appreciate your assistance in resolving these technical constraints. Thank you for your expertise and support.

I go to Add new item -> Configure Layout -> (add my very basic json code to format header) -> click Save The json code saves, but it does nothing to update the format of the list. I could click the Preview button, but it does nothing when I click it. The formatting code is saved, but it doesn't change the look of the list. Could it be that my organization is somehow limiting my ability to format lists within our sharepoint?

Windows 11 Update Script and UI Integration with Pause Functionality Hello, I’m looking for guidance on creating a script for managing Windows 11 updates. Specifically, I would like to: Automatically apply updates via a script. Incorporate a feature to pause updates on a set date. Ensure that the UI reflects the paused status of updates accurately. Could anyone provide suggestions on how to implement these functionalities effectively? Any help with the script, as well as integrating it with the UI for visibility, would be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance for your support.Phone Link for cell phone calls with a headset
The phone link app can connect to my Pixel phone pretty well, but when I make a call through the app, the headset does not kick in. I have a Bluetooth headset connected to my computer. The computer sees it as both an input and an output sound device. But when the call is ringing, it only makes sound on my phone, even though it shows the computer is the Bluetooth device it is connected to. I have tried a dozen different variations, and nothing works. Switching Bluetooth devices on my phone doesn't always work, as my phone will switch back to something else, like the computer or my watch, or just the phone. What is the best way to use Phone Link and have a headset to talk into?

Hi, I'm trying to get informations regarding a case I opened 2 months ago and they are sent through private messages I can't open. I see that I have 97 unread messages but when I click on the icon, it just open the Inbox, try to load something for a while then just give up, leaving me there. Before someone tries to tell me that this is a cookie or cache issue, it is happening on several browsers, using normal or InPrivate session and on multiple computers so the problem is not there. After searching, it seems that I'm not the only one having this issue. Could someone have a look at it so I can reply to the people from Microsoft asking me informations in PM and not forcing me to ping them on LinkedIn? Kr, Gérald
Until Next Time!
Hello all, After over two years of working with the Microsoft Tech Community team, I am sad to say that my time managing the community has come to an end. We've been through a lot of exciting community changes, product updates and fun events both online and in-person. What's next for me? I am packing up my things and moving to SE Asia to pursue a little sunshine and relaxation. For the first few months I will be travel through Japan, South Korea, and China before landing in Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon), Vietnam where I plan to soak up to sights, sounds, and smells for the foreseeable future. To celebrate the end of this chapter, here's a countdown of a few fun moments we've been through together. 109 - The number of Weekly Roundup's I've published on the Office 365 Network and the Microsoft Tech Community. I've loved putting together the roundup each week as it gave me the excuse to read through all the great conversations here. It also allowed to to pick a Member of the Week each week that exemplified the spirit of the community. We truly couldn't have created this community without the amazing members here. Don't worry, the Weekly Roundup is is good hands with EricStarker taking the lead. 64 - The number of AMAs & YamJams that I've hosted. By far one of my most favorite things in the community are the 'Ask Microsoft Anything' events (and not just because I always pick-up coffee & donuts for the team). AMAs, or if you love Yammer- YamJams, are truly one of the best ways we've been able to let our customers peek behind the scenes and and get to know the members of the teams creating the products. My favorite one? A close call, but perhaps the 'How to YamJam, YamJam'; so meta! 18 - Microsoft Tech Summits around the word. I attended 5 Tech Summits (Toronto, Mexico City, Chicago, Washington DC, and Copenhagen) and WOW! What an experience. While traveling is great (obviously I've got the bug), the best part is being able to evangelize the community in person. It's incredibly fulfilling when after a 30 second elevator pitch, someone sees the value of the community, signs up on the spot, and continues to interact in the community weeks later. 6 - The number of members on our rockstar community team. I couldn't be more lucky to work with such an amazing group of people. A big shout-out and thank you to MichaelHolste who hired me and has taught me so much during my time here. I may be leaving, but there's no stopping this team. With jeffmedford, AnnaChu, and DaniMartMS leading the Office 365 and C+E strategy, and Maddie_Egan, EricStarker and Mackenzie Lyng in the Microsoft Tech Community and BAPI communities on the ground, this place has the people-power in full force. 2 - Microsoft Ignite's under my belt. From the photobooth, to the Community Spotlight talks, MVP dinners, community meet-ups, surviving on no sleep, and losing my voice, Microsoft Ignite is always an experience. Watch out for Microsoft Ignite in Orlando, I know the team has some fun ideas planned for community. 1 - One Microsoft Tech Community. From my first day on the job, it was clear that our customers were looking for something more from community. It's always been our goal to provide something that was inviting, friendly, and most of all, useful. To achieve this we needed to bring Community from across the Microsoft ecosystem together into one place. I'm incredibly proud of the work we've done to realize that goal and I'm excited by thriving place that the Microsoft Tech Community has become. I've truly enjoyed getting to know all of you. Thank you for the experience! If you would like to keep in touch or follow along with my adventures you can find me on Twitter at @lanaobrien. Until next time, -Lana O'Brieni use Copilot and i it came out to me that who RX6600 have one problem.

Our Mission at the MTC is to provide a community Microsoft users can get the latest news, ask questions, learn new skills, and connect with peers and Microsoft experts from around the world. This month, we are rolling out a new ranking system designed to recognize users’ contributions to the community and add a little more ‘Microsoft’ to the MTC. What are the Community Ranks? We now have two ranking ladders to recognize both types of our tech community members. We have our Contributors Ranks for those who come to the MTC to interact and ask/answer questions in our forums, blogs, and events. Some of you Microsoft gamers may notice the subtle nod 😉 Contributor Ranks Onyx Contributor Titanium Contributor Diamond Contributor Platinum Contributor Gold Contributor Silver Contributor Bronze Contributor Steel Contributor Iron Contributor Brass Contributor Copper Contributor And for our members who come to the MTC to catch up on news and learn something new from the blogs, we have our Reader Ranks! These are replacing our Visitor/Member ranks, and once you start posting in the MTC, you will move into the Contributor Ranks. Reader Ranks Senior Reader Prolific Reader Regular Reader Frequent Reader Casual Reader Occasional Reader New Reader (Please note that these rankings are intended for fun and are not a measure of MTC’ers technical competence.) What goes into the Community Ranks? When you become a member of the MTC, you start climbing the ranking ladder, starting as a New Reader. As you contribute more and more to the community, you will start to climb the rank ladder. Here are some of the key ingredients that go into our ranking recipe (*These points are awarded each time an activity is completed): Viewing messages (0.25 points) Commenting on blogs, ideas, and TKB articles (1 point) Creating new discussion topics (1 point) Replying to forum discussions (2 points) Giving (2 points) and receiving Kudos (4 points) Contributing Ideas (5 points) Authoring blog articles (10 points) Publishing Knowledge Base articles (10 points) Getting your replies marked as a solution (15 points) Simply put, the more you engage and interact with the MTC, the more points you earn and the higher your community ranking will be! If you have any questions on these new rankings or you’d like to share feedback with the Tech Community Team, let us know in the comments below.
