Lists; What Happens to the "Assigned To" Data?
In Microsoft Lists, there is a column entitled "Assigned To." I can add a member user's name; I don't know if I can enter a guest user's name. I entered my own username to test the result of entering data in this field. Nothing seems to have happened. I received no e-mail; I received no notice in Teams or ToDo or Planner. What is supposed to happen when I add someone's name there? (And could I use it for externals? For obvious reasons, I don't want to just test that.)MS Excel 365 - An unexpected error has occurred. AutoRecover has been disabled for this session...
Hello! Hoping to get some advise on the correct solution and maybe this can help someone else as I spent a bunch of time troubleshooting on my own and working with my IT folks, which was useless. I have Excel (Microsoft® Excel® for Microsoft 365 MSO (Version 2111 Build 16.0.14701.20278) 64-bit; this may be outdated slightly but my company manages the updates) setup to open to a blank workbook (under Options -> Start up options, unselected "Show the Start screen when this application starts"), this results in Excel opening Book1; this is my preference. Since the last update from Microsoft (maybe unrelated, but who knows), after the specified time for AutoRecover, a popup warning appears and states "An unexpected error has occurred. AutoRecover has been disabled for this session of Excel." The error is definitely tied to this Book1 upon first opening Excel and happens every time I reopen Excel. I change the AutoRecover time, the error pops up shortly after that time (changed from 10 minutes to 2 minutes and the error shows up after 2 minutes now instead of 10 minutes). My initial troubleshooting to identify the issue: If I open another workbook and leave Book1 open, the error occurs (also this seems to be new since the update...before when I would open an existing workbook, Book1 would automatically close) If I open another workbook and close Book1 before the error occurs, it doesn't happen If I select the "Show the Start screen when this application starts", the error doesn't occur If I select new workbook from the start screen, it is still called Book1, but no error! Advanced troubleshooting I've already done: Searched my C drive and OneDrive for all files Book1*.* and deleted those Searched my C drive and OneDrive for all files/folders XLSTART and deleted those Searched my C drive and OneDrive for all files *.xltx and deleted those Searched my C drive and OneDrive for all files *.xlb and deleted those Deleted all AutoRecover files in that folder Changed the location of the AutoRecover Done two repairs Uninstalled and reinstalled Office twice - quite the pain because reinstalled messed up Teams and I had to reinstall that as well Tried to save Excel template to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\root\Office16\XLSTART\ and C:\Users\####\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Excel\XLSTART\ Solution (workaround): Save Book1.xlsx to: C:\Users\####\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Excel\XLSTART\ This solution did not resolved the issue of Book1 staying open after I open the file I actually want to be working in, so this is a workaround that I can live with for now, but would love any advise on how to get it working correctly. Thank you in advance!SharePoint Online PowerShell Module Gets Modern Authentication
Microsoft has announced that the SharePoint Online PowerShell module will be upgraded from the very old and now obsolete IDCRL protocol to use modern (OAuth) authentication in versions released from March 28, 2025. The update to OAuth should not affect scripts, but it’s always wise to test in case your use of the module is an edge case that Microsoft doesn’t test. https://office365itpros.com/2025/03/14/sharepoint-online-powershell-oauth/
Where to ask to delete Microsoft 365 Developer Program account (profile)
Let me ask about where to ask to delete a Microsoft 365 Developer Program account(profile). This post might be inappropriate here but let me ask as follows because I do not find the useful answers yet. My predecessor joined the Microsoft 365 Developer Program. After she left my company, I took over her company mobile phone with the same phone number. Since my predecessor left without deleting the account(profile) of the program, I am unable to join the program using the company mobile phone number. *Please see the screenshot of the error. I created a support case through the support for the Visual Studio subscription and inquired. If there are any other contact points, please let me know. Regards,
365 Download to update previous 2019
I previously had office 2019 on the PC and registered for 365 on subscription. The splash screens still say that I am using version 2019. I assume this is incorrect and either, I am still using 2019 or a mixture of both. I tried to uninstall 2019, unsure if it deleted completely form are areas and registry. I would appreciate some help and clarity in this matter TIA RoyP

Microsoft Places individual desk booking is not working
Hi, Following the documentation, Configure desk booking - Microsoft Places | Microsoft Learn, I successfully ran the shared command lines without any errors. However, on Microsoft Places, I am unable to see individual desks appear; only desk pools are visible. Has anyone managed to get this to work? Thanks,"Configure Approvals" missing from SharePoint lists
Hi, we would like to use the Approvals functionality in SharePoint lists. We are not interested in using the two templates to access this functionality because we already have a longstanding List with flows attached that I don't want to have to recreate. However when I click AUTOMATE, the option for CONFIGURE APPROVALS doesn't appear. Is this something we have to turn on elsewhere? Versioning is turned on for this list. Or is it just not rolled out to everyone yet? I thought they were looking at full rollouts by August. Thank!
