Block Screenshot when sharing "view only" file shared with OneDrive
Hello! I have been using this feature of "Share" and "Block download" and "View Only" with my work colleagues for files with sensitive content. Some months ago, I checked that when sharing using this method, the colleagues could only open the file in Office Desktop, and not Online due to security restrictions. Opening in Office Desktop, prevented the screenshot from being taken of any part of the file. Now, using the very same method, users can open the file in Excel Online, and hence, take screenshots. Is there any change in the option? This gives me no option to share a file with "sensitive content" and prevent screenshots. (of course, they still can take pictures using a phone...). Thanks for your support!How to Add a Loop Workspace to a Standard Teams Channel

I want an alternative to Windows 11 moving forward....
I've been using Windows 10 for a ridiculously long time, I recently tried out a Windows 11 PC and the file explorer and OneDrive integration was extremely annoying. The worst part about the file explorer was that many of the functions I used on Windows 10 with the right click was hidden behind the "more options" on the right click of windows 11, which essentially opened up the Windows 10 right click menu behind it. The whole Windows 11 experience felt like a really bad skin cover up over a Windows 10 computer. The "open new desktop window" was ridiculous. I really feel like it's more difficult to be productive with windows 11. I make music with my P.C. and I edit videos, and I also browse the net. I do think it's possible that I got a fake Windows 11 PC from a refurbisher on Amazon, but if Windows 11 really was what I tried out, I definitely think there should be an alternative to Windows 11 that doesn't have so much "AI" integration. One of the simplest things I do on my Windows 10 is utilize the drag and drop function between file folders on Windows 10 to copy them between two folders, I do this by opening two instances of the file explorer, it's super nice for file management and for some reason windows 11 felt way more difficult to manage files if I remember correctly. Also, in Windows 10 there was a way to change the view of the programs or files either as icons or as a list. For some reason the file explorer in Windows 10 never remembers my options for each folder and I have to constantly change it. Like, if music files were always displayed as a list with lots of metadata, and pictures were always displayed in file explorer with medium or large icons, everything would be great. The point being, I do a lot of things manually in Windows 10, and the Windows 11 PC I tried felt like it was made for children. Only other problem I have with windows 10 is the PC options screens are needlessly complicated and hide too many setting behind underlined/highlighted text from the windows menu on the bottom left, I actually think Windows 7 had a better P.C. options screen. Basically I think there should be a alternative to Windows 11 that is a bit more "old school" for people who like to do things more manually. I'm 26, I've been using Windows 10 for over 6 years now, I've gotten a lot of creative projects done with Windows 10, Windows 11 does not appeal to me at all. Now I'm in a tough spot because I don't want to use windows 11, yet functionality support is ending for windows 10. Although one time I booted up in safe mode and it said my O.S. was Windows (R), which is weird because I always customize my desktop theme to have a dark background and Red highlights... Am I currently using a Windows 11 alternative called Windows (R)? Ok this has been a tech rant/info barrage.
Microsoft Places Analytics - Missing data
Hi! I'm looking to hear if anyone has succesfully configured Microsoft Places Analytics according to the guidelines here: Microsoft Places Analytics - Microsoft Places | Microsoft Learn I've reached out to Microsoft Support several months ago regarding this but the case has not progressed at all unfortunately when it comes to actually reaching a solution. I'm struggling to get enough data to show even though the following is OK: All buildings have analytics enabled The name of the building matches the attribute "Office Location" in Entra ID. A mail-enabled security group is used for assigning permissions to Places Analytics (as-per the requirements). All users of the above group have Teams Premium I'm mostly focusing on the building analytics here since that one is most interesting for us. Example of charts with missing or incomplete data: The above one shows nothing even though it should be fetched from the work location in conjuction with the leader's organisation data. In the above chart it's succesfully mapping the headcount of the number of people that have set their work plan with a chosen building, however it's completely ignoring the "remote" parts. Also ignoring the people that have no work plan set but do have the same Office location as the building name - which it should fetch from according to the "?" button: It's even more clear further down in the same "?": In my case it's ONLY showing the ones with a work plan set and with the actual building in question set. It's the same type of issue for most of the data but I believe that solving it on one end will solve the rest. So I'm really hoping there's someone else out there that has succesfully configured Places Analytics and might shed some light on what my configuration might be missing. Thanks!
Microsoft 365 Subscriptions
In fourth quarter of 2024, I decided to upgrade my machine and tried out a web only version (freeware) of Microsoft 365. After some time, I found out that I was not getting the qualities I needed for documentation to be presentable as Microsoft Word and Excel were not usable for print formats. I decided to buy a Microsoft 365 Business subscription (bought through my domain provider) which allowed me to use my email address attached to me and my website domain. This allowed me to also download desktop copies of Word and Excel. However, I ran into problems with old accounts colliding with my new ones..., for example, Skype for Business, Microsoft Store, and Microsoft Live would constantly appear in my installation admins. If I attempted to install them, the installation would fail and get stuck i.e, I could not remove them. Microsoft message pop-ups would state, "You cannot install this on a 'work' account." I thought to myself, "Okay, I installed my Windows OS as a "Work Account on my new machine." This made sense, because I could go to my browser on my new machine and I could go to my old laptop that had absolutely no Microsoft 365 on it and access my Office from my browser profile. My old laptop is the only machine that accepts the Windows Live email address i.e., it acts as a Windows Live access service via the 'free' outlook account to which it is attached. However, now that all these items are separated by Work or Home classification, I keep getting messages that state, "We cannot renew your Microsoft 365 account." But my Work account should not be attached to Microsoft Live accounts...should it? After all, it uses Entra ID for access and the subscription is bought through my domain vendor. Why is Microsoft Support sending me these emails? My original setup accessed Microsoft Live accounts via the web through my old laptop using my free Outlook email and looked something like the graphic below:
