Accessing an App through 'Open in new window' from Teams only opens file error
Hello, I have deleted an Excel file from a SharePoint folder that I don't need anymore. Now, when I try to open Excel 365 from 'Open in new window' in Teams, I don't get to the usual landing page with recent files, options for a new file, etc. but just an error message: 'Sorry, this file has been deleted or moved', referring to the file that I have indeed deleted. I can access the usual landing page if it's in the Excel 365 window embedded in Teams, but opening the app in a new window is no longer possible. Why would the landing page for opening an app in a new window not be the normal landing page, but just an error message, with no option to open another file, seems counter-intuitive. Does anyone have a solution? Best regards, MJSolvedtheRealMJOct 09, 2025Copper Contributor28Views0likes2CommentsInvited to external group - add to Outlook 365
Hi all (second try, first topic I posted seemed to not post). I have accepted an invite to an M365 group from another tenant. I can view the group via the link in the invitation email.

An additional Sign In window appears for external users with whom we share files or folders through OneDrive and/or SharePoint. The window for entering the email appears (to validate that it's the intended recipient), but before entering the verification code, the Organization Sign In window appears. This sometimes requests a password, which can cause issues or even prevent users from sharing these folders with external users. Authentication flow example: Normally, step 2 is followed by step 4, but in my case, it's taking me to step 3 where I have to re-enter the email address I'd already entered in step 2. This isn't normal. In this case, there's no major problem with this email because it then asks for the verification code, and I log in without a problem. But for example, when I tried another email address, also from Gmail, it asks for a password to authenticate: Then I realized it's asking for my password because that email is associated with my GitHub account, and it's trying to authenticate with a password. However, this flow is incorrect because for authentication to SharePoint files shared with external users of the Tenant, it should only ask for the username and verification code. The fact that it asks me to enter my email twice, as in step 3 of each example, and that it occasionally asks me for a password, is incorrect in the flow, and I don't know how to change that.Solvedjuan-amaya-2603Sep 17, 2025Copper Contributor70Views0likes1CommentError installing Apps 365, command not supported.
I was performing an Online Repair for a user. It did the uninstall fine, but then threw this error. I tried to reinstall, same error. Used the MS Cleanup tool, ran SFC, cleared temp files, cache... Internet connection is stable. Disabled security software (Zscaler). I'm out of ideas. I'm hoping someone has seen this before.

Hi everyone, i am currently implementing sensitivity labels for our org and this one thing is really holding me back. Previously, it was possible do create a word-document (or any file) in OneDrive, share it to an external gmail (or any other) address and let them access it after using an email OTP. Nice! I have just recently created a set labels and assigned them to me in Purview. Most labels, including the one that is assigned to docs by default, do not apply any encryption. A label existing on a document still seems to make sharing way harder/impossible in certain scenarios: Created a fresh gmail-address-->created a fresh word document with a default label (public, no sharing restrictions, no encryption)--> Shared said document to said gmail-address via Link --> opened link in private browser tab --> OTP-Verification happens --> Document opens up in browser, then IMMEDIATELY forwards me to our tenants login-page. There, the gmail address user obviously cant log in since he is not a guest and does not have an account. The fun part: You can (sometimes) use the browser "back" button to return to the document to read and edit. This... can't be intended, right? Research suggests to me that word for the web attempts to resolve the label, for which it has to access our tenant. It then fails since no tenant user is logged in and prompts me to do so. When i use a gmail address, create a personal MS account, invite this account into my tenant as a guest, accept the request and share to that user, the user can work with the doc just fine after completing his steps. But this is way to much work for IMO. Has anyone seen this issue? Did i misconfigure something? Has anyone found a solution or a reasonable workaround or are people just living with this loss of functionality? Do you think its just a bug and i should report it?SolvedhaanesAug 25, 2025Copper Contributor113Views0likes2CommentsFavorites Section Missing from Outlook Classic
On the advice of this forum, I made the switch from the new Outlook to Outlook Classic on my new MS Surface Pro Laptop - THANK YOU FORUM. I have a problem with Outlook Classic that compared to my problem with the New Outlook, is less of an issue. The Favorites section that is usually above the individual accounts on the left is not there. I can right click on the Inbox to each of my accounts and then click on Add to Favorites and instead of the account showing up on the top, where there is a blank section that is typically where the Favorites are, I get a tag on the left, which are stacked on one another and all are labeled Inbox instead of an account identifier. Note that in the Account settings, a shortcut account ID is in the The 'Classic' Outlook on my old computer was fine in this area.Solvedraganz0622Aug 19, 2025Copper Contributor142Views0likes3CommentsShared Word Doc on OneDrive Keeps Overwriting Recent Edits — Anyone Else?
Hey everyone, We’ve been collaborating on a shared Word document saved in OneDrive for Business, and we’ve noticed something odd — every few days, recent edits from one team member just vanish, as if an older version overwrote the live copy. We’ve double-checked: - All collaborators are editing online, not via the desktop app - Version history shows no major conflicts - Autosave is enabled for everyone It’s not happening every time, but often enough to cause problems. Could it be a cache issue, or something related to editing from multiple regions (we’re in 3 time zones)? Has anyone else run into this with co-authoring in OneDrive Word files recently? Would appreciate any insights or suggestions!SolvedcoreylprlAug 14, 2025Copper Contributor53Views0likes1CommentOutlook Inbox transfer
I use Outlook on a WINDOWS 11 computer and have 2 email addresses from my ISP domain. I have Outlook set up to automatically move my secondary email address inputs into my primary email addresses INBOX so i only have to open one INBOX. I also have a third email (GMAIL) coming into Outlook. I can’t find any way to have those emails automatically moved to the primary email INBOX. My two ISP domain emails are coming in as POP/SMTP and the GMAIL comes in as IMAP. Is there a way to have the GMAIL inputs transferred to my primary email INBOX automatically upon arrival?SolvedRobert HicksAug 04, 2025Copper Contributor73Views0likes2CommentsHow are developers using Microsoft tools to support decentralized ownership models?
Hi everyone, I’m exploring how tools like Microsoft Graph, Teams or Azure AI can support new models of community-driven ownership and identity management. I’ve come across a fascinating project called https://landdao.io/ that helps communities manage land access digitally through transparent, community-led decision-making. I’m curious, has anyone here tried building something similar with Microsoft 365 developer tools? Especially anything involving governance, identity, or smart contract integrations?SolvedKing56Jul 28, 2025Copper Contributor102Views0likes2CommentsExcel Query
Hi Team, In Column C are parts name and in Column D (yellow Highlighted) are sequenced of arriving them ( mentioned in cell E4,F4,G4). Since VB1 arrives on 1/1/2021 so it's sequence 1,1,1,1,1. Can somebody please help in finding a formula which helps in sequencing these parts from dates in cell E4,F4,G4 so VB2 has 2,2,2,2,2, and VB3 has 3,3,3,3,3. If VB1's date is earliest, it gets sequence 1 If VB2's date is next, it gets sequence 2 If VB3's date is latest, it gets sequence 3 Please help thanksSolvedcoper_editorJul 21, 2025Copper Contributor105Views0likes2Comments
