Seeing some confusion about how to get to the right page for a Community where you can start a new discussion. e.g. Where / How to find "Ask a question" | Microsoft Community Hub Office outlook 365 .. where are emails saved? | Microsoft Community Hub I have to admit that it is not clear to me what the difference between these links is. Community Lounge | Microsoft Community Hub Tech Community Discussion | Microsoft Community Hub Why only one has "Start a discussion"? Why does a Web Search tend to land me on the one that doesn't have "Start a discussion"? Why the "Discussion Spaces" button on the one with no "Start a discussion" doesn't make "Start a discussion" appear or take me to the URL that does have "Start a discussion"?Hornblower409Mar 02, 2026Iron Contributor9Views0likes0CommentsDA_CICap_ST_SDF agent in Copilt?
Has anyone seen this agent show up in Copilot? It looks like a test but if you aske it what it is or who created it, it says it was created by Microsoft but in the agent itself it says created by Test_Test_New1. If it's microsoft developers pushing a test out, it looks sketchy as hell.thatashgirlMar 02, 2026Brass Contributor921Views3likes2CommentsEmail hacked - I lost total access
Hi community, I had my email hacked 7 days ago, the hacker changed the password. The problem is that I have microsoft office 365 in that account and I tried every single way to recover my access. Even the ACSR, forms and everything. Nothing works. I got replied back that information provided was insufficient. The problem also is that I created this account in hotmail, maybe 20 year ago. Does anyone know any how to contact Microsoft support? How can I find a channel to support me? Thanks in advance for any clue you might give me to solve this issue.fiandradeMar 02, 2026Copper Contributor25Views0likes1CommentQuestion About Events, Azure, Copilot and Microsoft widgets
Hello! I am overly enthusiastic to learn more about this company, and I saw three events I'd like to attend in person as I cannot do anything online, I apologize. Does anyone know if there really is this Microsoft event on March 6th in Redmond? If not where is it as It is not coming up on the list or I cannot find it. I searched for azure events and about three came up, but after I scroll and the mouse timer comes up, nothing appears, is anyone interested in describing more about azure technology to me and how it works? I'll never tell! My last question is there is an event bsides seattle, I'm so confused is it at a hotel and how do you register because it's not listed on this platform. I wish I could do the online events like this was training, but it's better to do things in person always because it's more authentic. I tagged this as avatar, if you do not know anything about me just my love of tech what would my avatar be?VioletMoravaFeb 26, 2026Copper Contributor27Views0likes0CommentsOutlook and verizon email account
I've run into an issue this past week where I've tried changing my Verizon email account from IMAP to Pop3. I get errors like this; Task 'email address removed for privacy reasons - Receiving' reported error (0x80042110) : 'Your POP3 server is providing inconsistent information. The number of messages returned by the STAT command does not match the number of items returned by the UIDL or LIST commands. Contact your POP3 or Internet service provider.' I've created a new profile, I've done SCANPST probably more than 5 times, regenerated my third party password on AOL and it consistently fails for the same error. I've run the same version of Outlook on a different machine with th same results. My pop settings are pop.verizon.net, port 995, ssl/tls. The progress window shows that it's downloading messages but it sits there for a couple of minutes and then pops the error up; AOL adimmently says that it's got to do with Outlook because it works fine on there webmail. I can't seem to find an email alternative that creates a pst database so that I could rule one or the other out. Getting extremely frustrated. I would get completely away from the Verizon email but I have had it for so long; it's established everywhere I've done business, contacts, credit cards, etc. Any help would be greatly appreciated. PS I've even tried just creating a whole new pst, no luck. TIASolvedFrank SpataFeb 24, 2026Copper Contributor101Views0likes2CommentsYour organization is not eligible for donations and grants

I have been an active poster on the Excel forum but every so often my posts will just disappear. Sometimes our message will be there but an attachment will be missing. Sometimes messages disappear but then show up hours or days later. Can someone PLEASE give us some insight into what is happening. Is this an auto-moderator or actual person? Either way can we please get a message informing us that our message is being held or rejected and why. How are we supposed to learn if we get no feedback. I don't appreciate spending time re-creating a worksheet (because these new posters aren't even allowed to attach their excel file for us to see) and then create a formula solution, write up how it works and then just have it all disappear. Makes me think Microsoft doesn't really care for me to help. And BTW, can you please revisit the reasoning behind not letting new accounts attach files. Is it a space/size issue? or is it a security issue? if the concern is space/size then make a limit on the file size. Security issue, make a limit on file types. All this tends to do is force members to ask the user to post the file using a file share service like onedrive, but if they use another service it can be a much larger security risk.m_tarlerFeb 22, 2026Bronze Contributor36Views2likes0CommentsProposal for Reviving Windows Mobile in 2026
Dear Microsoft Windows Team, I am writing as a passionate supporter of the Windows Mobile experience, especially the fluidity and innovation seen in Windows 10 Mobile. I believe there is a strong opportunity to revive Windows Mobile in 2026 with a compact, affordable, and well-equipped device that can serve middle-class users globally. The concept I envision includes: - A compact form factor (6 to 6.2 inches) for comfortable one-handed use. - Floating apps and lock-screen widgets that feel alive and interactive. - Seamless integration with Windows PCs, Xbox, and Surface devices. - Android app compatibility to eliminate ecosystem limitations. - AI-powered features like Copilot for productivity and assistance. - Economic pricing to ensure accessibility for middle-class users. The enthusiasm for such a device remains strong, and I truly hope Microsoft considers this vision. It would not only honor the legacy of Windows Mobile but also redefine mobile computing for the future. Thank you for your time and consideration. Sincerely, Dillipdillip_pandaFeb 22, 2026Copper Contributor43Views0likes0CommentsIn Need of help
Hello, I am trying to figure out who shared a superbowl sheet with me. It has since been deleted and these numbers were there fc09f9a1-00f2-b000-e8d4-ca3f2fb6248c7787c. Is there a way to find out what they are for. Is it from the sender or is it something on my end. Any help would be appreciated.Joseph-Doyle537Feb 21, 2026Copper Contributor30Views0likes1Comment
