Windows 11 Pro Kiosk mode problems
We have a customer with 40 Windows kiosks that use Edge to access a single website. They will all be Windows 11 Pro 25H2 shortly, well maybe, see below. The problem is when set setup assigned access with a kiosk account no matter how much we clean up the bloat, disable unneeded services, strip out all the startup tasks in the registry, remove all the provisioned bloatware, disable all the consumer app update services we still get this: This happens on 11 Pro 22H2 and continues through 25H2. It does not happen on 21H2. I have to find a way to fix this OR they've told us to take them to Ubuntu and if they go to Ubuntu. How can we hunt this down? There are no events in the Event Viewer under Assigned Access, literally 0 on any of the kiosks. We've created extensive scripts that purge appx apps, stop all the consumer update services, even remove the Intel Management Engines that we don't care about on the kiosks, but none of that stops this message. I just can't understand how MS can put out an OS that supports kiosk mode and for years this issue happens. In kiosk mode every other setting should be overridden, nothing else should be allowed to run for any reason other than the assigned access application, in this case Edge. Honestly, it was easier back in the Win7 days when you replaced the shell and created a couple hundred GP entries to lock down the system into a kiosk-mode like system. Any ideas?
Inquiry Regarding Existing Microsoft Applications for End-to-End Operational Management
I would like to inquire whether Microsoft offers any pre-built, production-ready applications—preferably within the Dynamics 365 ecosystem—that are currently in use by customers and proven to be stable, which support the following functionalities: Work Order Management Operational Management Production Planning and Control Resource Management Asset Management Quality Management Inventory Management Barcode Scanning for real-time job tracking (start/finish) Profitability and Financial Reporting Hours Variation Analysis( Planned Vs Actual) Cost Variation Analysis( Planned Vs Actual) We are seeking a solution that integrates these capabilities into a unified platform, ideally with real-time data capture and reporting features. If such a solution exists, we would appreciate details regarding its availability, deployment options, licensing, and customer success stories. Looking forward to your guidance

I am trying to get enrolled to distributing my Windows app through the Microsoft Store. So I head over to partner.microsoft.com/dashboard and I press the "Enroll in programs" button: And then the: "Windows, Get started" button: Then I login with my personal account, which is required for this program. Then I choose "Windows and Xbox": Then I'm directed to either enter promo code (which I don't have) or to add a debet or credit card, (which I choose). I press "Add a new payment method" and enter in my card details, along with extra info it's asking for, and then when I hit "Save", I get this error below (But see further below, for the actual error from F12/Developer tools, which seems indicate a different issue) : Developer tools / F12 has this failing record in there: Request URL : https://paymentinstruments.mp.microsoft.com/v6.0/users/me/paymentInstrumentsEx?country=dk&language=en-US&partner=payin&billableAccountId=kZYybAIAAAAAAAAA&completePrerequisites=True Request Method : POST Status Code : 400 Bad Request Remote Address : 13.107.246.44:443 Referrer Policy : strict-origin-when-cross-origin Now, just to make sure, I have went through these additional steps: Tried with another browser (Edge, fully updated) - same error. Tried from another PC (actually 4 different PCs) - same error. Tried with a Macbook - same error. Tried from my remote PC in a another country - same error. Raised an issue with Microsoft support (this was 5 days ago now) - no response from support, except form "we received your support ticket" email. Tried from another personal Microsoft account - same error. Tried with a colleague, using their personal account and their PC - same error. Tried 3-4 different payment cards - same error. Anyone have any clue on this error? Is the Microsoft Store not a valid route forward anymore, for enrolling new software developers/vendors? Or is this Tenant-based perhaps? I could of course just buy a more expensive code signing certificate and then try to distribute the software through my own website, but that's not the ideal way forward. I really would like to get this working on the Microsoft Store if at all possible. Really hope this issue is resolvable...
Gap in Partner Metrics for Sustainability Manager Workloads
We are actively working toward achieving the Solutions Partner Designation for Business Applications, and our organization has strong engagement in workloads such as Sustainability Manager and other non-workload specific Dynamics workloads. While we’ve observed that non-workload specific are considered under the Business Applications performance metric, it’s disappointing to see that Sustainability Manager is currently not counted. This has significantly impacted our progress, despite our continued efforts and customer success in this area. Additionally, for the Customer Success metric, neither non-workload specific nor Sustainability Manager are recognized as eligible workloads. As a result, we are unable to earn points under the Solution Partner Designation, even though these workloads are part of the Dynamics 365 license family. We respectfully request that Microsoft consider including these workloads —especially Sustainability Manager— as eligible for both performance and customer success metrics. This would more accurately reflect the value partners are delivering through the broader Dynamics ecosystem.
Windows hardware developer program deactivated in Partner Center - support cases closed unresolved.
Hello, I need assistance with the Windows Hardware Developer Program in Partner Center. My account shows as deactivated and inaccessible, even though my account is fully authorized and, I am the Global Administrator for our Entra ID tenant. Our organization has an active EV code signing certificate. Our D-U-N-S/company information is valid I have already opened Partner Center support tickets, but they were closed without resolution: Case ID: 2508050010001953 Case ID: 2508080010002600 Case ID:2508160010000069 Case ID:25081900100000123 First two tickets got closed, last two tickets I just opened asking for more clarification. Our company is desperately need to get WHQL certified driver so our customers can ship Windows products. From other community posts, it seems this may require a manual review and escalation to Partner Center Operations / Vetting Team, since automated provisioning has failed. Could a Microsoft representative please review this case and escalate it appropriately? Thank you, Huei-Mei Su Lisuantech
