"New Outlook" Inbox not updating
In the "New Outlook" (which appears identical to the current web version of outlook): whenever I get a new email, I will get a notification and the unread counter next to my inbox tab will increase by one... but the email itself will not appear in the inbox UNTIL I click out of the inbox and back into it! It doesn't appear that the inbox can refresh itself "on-the-fly" as new emails come in, it only refreshes itself when it is loaded up! Are others experiencing this issue? I see svhelden posted about it a year ago but they said a software update fixed it... to me it seems to still be occurring with both the desktop and web app.
Designer feature disappears in Word on office.com
Whenever i open a new Word document on office.com - during the loading phase i can see the Designer button present between Add-Ins and Copilot. Within some time the button disappears.

How can I know if I am using Outlook.com or Office 365 Outlook? I thought that Office 365 was only online and accessed by a browser. I have a stand-alone Outlook product but the options are only either Office 365 Outlook or Outlook.com, with emphasis on the ".com". So which one should I pick? In the past, all one had to do is click on help -> about and you could see the name of the product and the version, but this is not the case today. When I use a Microsoft tool called "Power Automate" there are clearly two separate options I have to pick from where one is implementing Outlook.com and the other is implementing Office 365 Outlook. Apparently, I have to know which one I am using.New to Win 11 and cant figure out where my files are going
Using: Win11, Microsoft 365 subscription, Dell Inspiron AIO Good Afternoon, I purchased a new computer with Win 11. I screwed up the setup because I chose set up as a new PC so It's hard to find old files. I would like to keep everything on ThisPC and only allow certain files/folders on One Drive. Right now, it looks as if everything is going to drive C and there are no folders available on This PC. This may be because before I stopped using my old computer, I backed up everything into OneDrive. Q: How to change OneDrive configuration back without losing everything that is already saved in the cloud? Q: How to add folders to ThisPC? Q: I would like to save everything by default to This PC. If I do that, but have the correct folder set for one drive, will the file automatically save on my pc and save a copy in the cloud. Thank you in advance for your help, I appreciate it. I hope I'm not as clear as mud. MissJayneeImportant Purview eDiscovery Changes Take Effect in May 2025
Microsoft is making some important changes to Purview eDiscovery from May 26, 2025. The changes affect how content searches work and are likely to affect many Microsoft 365 tenants. Administrators and eDiscovery investigators will both have to master new ways of working with eDiscovery cases, searching for information, reviewing search results, and exporting what’s found. Changes to PowerShell cmdlets might affect scripts, so there’s lots to consider. https://office365itpros.com/2025/04/17/purview-ediscovery-may2025/
Right Angle Connectors are now going Diagonal?
Hey, I've been working on this Visio diagram for some time now, and I have nearly got every hidden setting working in my favor. Unfortunately, something happened to my connectors, they ALL ARE DIAGONAL?! These are Right Angle connectors, and they were all fine. I went to make some changes to a couple of Master Stencils, and page settings. Here, take a look at these screenshots of what happens now: First, this is what it looks like when I go to drag the connector. Second is immediately after I release the mouse button, it fails to render an imaginary diagonal line. Notice the little blue bubble. Third is when I move the horizontal line up, it indeed has created a diagonal connector. Fourth is the settings of the right side <1> shape; showing how the connection points are supposed to be acting, +1 or -1 along the X-dir. And indeed they WERE working merely hours ago, and for the last week. I changed settings inside of the Master Shape for these <> shapes: Miscellaneous: NoObjHandles = TRUE Group Properties: SelectMode = 0 These settings are to prevent future users from accidentally editing the shapes when they only need to select and use the Shape Data.Access Freezing
This has been bothering me for some time now. When I'm working in Access (which is alot of the time), I have been noticing that when I edit a field, label, etc. using the Shift+F2, after I edit the field and hit Enter for the changes to be accepted, Access comes to a screeching halt. Sometimes it is a matter of seconds. Other times, it will go until I hit Task Manager and end the process, which causes me to lose any of the changes I have made. And it seems to be more prevalent in the afternoons. Has anyone else run into this?Licensing Auto-Label Policies for Sensitivity Labels
Microsoft Purview makes it easy to apply sensitivity labels to Office documents and PDF files with auto-label policies. Licenses are needed for auto-label policies, but at what cost? We look at the various licenses available to cover the functionality and consider if a DIY approach using the Graph API to apply labels would be cost effective. https://office365itpros.com/2025/04/16/licensing-cost-sensitivity-labels/
