Different Locations for Publishing retention labels
Could you please provide a comprehensive explanation regarding the rationale behind maintaining separate locations for classic and modern SharePoint sites when deploying retention labels? Specifically, I am interested in understanding the architectural, functional, and compliance-related factors that necessitate this distinction. Additionally, if there are any official documentation or best practices that elaborate on this topic, I would appreciate it if you could direct me to those resources.
My account is hacked and compromised
My Microsoft account was hacked into. They changed my password and sent out all kinds of spam. They took over all my accounts, including banking, that were connected to my hotmail email. They changed the email on the account and even enabled a two step verification with their contact info. I'm still fighting to get back all of my accounts that are connected to my hotmail.com email. Because of all the spam they sent, my Microsoft account is now also locked. I've tried multiple times in sending the account verification form but because they have set up a two step verification, the form sends me the automatic reply notification that the form does not work for my account. I had to create this new Microsoft account just to try and get help from Microsoft. It has been a never-ending loop of sending the account verification form and having it get kicked back. Also been in a never-ending loop on the support page trying to request assistance but it just leads me to sending an account verification form. I NEED my hotmail.com email back. It still has so much information that I need to get all my bank, shopping, personal, etc. accounts back not to mention all the sentimental emails and photos that are in there back from when I first created the account. It was my first email ever and I need to get it back. Please, what can I do?? How can I get a hold of an actual person at Microsoft that can help me with this?
No Internet After BSOD + Windows Firewall & Services Won’t Start
Hello, I'm experiencing critical issues with my Windows system after a sudden BSOD crash. My main issue is that I cannot connect to the internet, even though my LAN connection is detected. Additionally, Windows Defender Firewall and multiple services are not starting, preventing me from troubleshooting effectively. Issue Summary: Lost internet access after BSOD → The LAN connection is detected but stuck on "Identifying..." Windows Defender Firewall won’t start → Error when trying to restore/restart settings. Windows services related to the firewall won’t start → Base Filtering Engine (BFE) and other dependencies won’t start, possibly due to registry issues. Windows Defender Advanced Threat Protection Service won’t start manually. sfc /scannow shows no integrity violations. netsh advfirewall reset fails with "An error occurred while attempting to contact Windows Defender Firewall..." Events Leading to the Issue: Playing a Roblox game. BSOD occurred out of nowhere. System rebooted, but no internet (LAN connection detected but doesn’t fully identify the network). Windows Defender Firewall error: "Microsoft Defender Firewall is using settings that may make your device unsafe." Clicking "Restore settings" does nothing. Manually starting Firewall services results in errors. Troubleshooting Attempts So Far: ✅Checked BIOS (Gigabyte B560M Gaming HD, BIOS vF10): OnBoard LAN Controller is enabled. Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller is present. Tried enabling Network Stack but still no internet. ✅ Ran network troubleshooting commands: sfc /scannow → No integrity violations. netsh winsock reset & netsh int ip reset → No effect. netsh advfirewall reset → Fails with an error. ✅ Checked services: Windows Defender Firewall service won’t start. Base Filtering Engine (BFE) won’t start (Access Denied). Manually adding "Everyone" to BFE registry didn’t help. ✅ Took the PC to a technician: LAN port hardware is not the issue. Technician suggested a full system reformat, but I want to avoid this as I have important files. What I Need Help With: How can I restore my network connection without resetting Windows? How do I fix Windows Defender Firewall and dependent services (BFE, WDF) when they won’t start? Could this be a corrupt Windows registry issue, and if so, how can I fix it? Are there any advanced troubleshooting steps I can try before resorting to a full system reset? Any help or insights would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance. 🙏Unable to Upload More Than 3 Files onto OneDrive Personal Vault
Hi Since early January 2025 (once I have unsubscribed from Co-Pilot feature), I have not been able to upload more than 3 files onto OneDrive Personal Vault. on the Web Browser, it was showing me that there was insufficient space - this made no sense as I still have 700GB+ of free space on the Mobile App, it was showing that I could only upload 3 files to Personal Vault - this made no sense either as I should be allowed to upload more than 3 files to my Personal Vault with Microsoft 365 Personal Classic.
