Regression in v2606: continuous forms redraw/flicker on main form
As soon as I installed Version 2606 (Build 16.0.20131.20012), all of my continuous subforms on parent forms began constantly redrawing and flickering, making the application almost unusable. Reverting to Version 2605 (Build 16.0.20026.20140) immediately resolved the issue without any changes to the database. I have since disabled automatic updates and am remaining on Version 2605 until this issue is addressed. Has anyone else experienced this problem with Version 2606? Is this a known bug, or has Microsoft acknowledged the regression?
Full account lock (Error 0x80004005) on multiple devices and networks. Automated support fails.
Greetings to the community and the Microsoft support team, I am turning to this forum because the automated support system and bots keep me in a closed loop, preventing me from reaching a human agent to resolve a critical lockout on my account. Currently, I am unable to sign in to my Xbox Live account under any circumstances. The system constantly throws the following error: Error code: 0x80004005 Message: "We couldn't sign you in to Xbox Live. Sorry, something went wrong. Try again in a while." As a technician, I have rigorously isolated the variables and can confirm the following to save time on diagnostics: It is not a local hardware failure: The exact same error replicates when trying to sign in from my Xbox console, my PC, and the mobile app. It is not a local connectivity (ISP) issue: I have tested this through my home Wi-Fi and different cellular data networks, getting the exact same access denial. All diagnostics point to the failure being directly at the server level: a token generation issue with my profile, an invisible security lock, or an internal synchronization failure. I kindly request that a Microsoft Agent or moderator send me a Private Message (DM) here so I can provide the affected email address and have this case escalated to Tier 2 support. I need the internal status of my profile to be checked. My Xbox Gamertag is: #Non9969 I look forward to your help. Thank you very much.
Text Truncation in Access Report Controls
Around May 14, 2026, we began experiencing text truncation on the right side of text box controls in Access (Office 365) reports. Approximately 2–4 characters are cut off whenever font size is below 10pt. All reports in our environment are affected and the problem was not present prior to May 14. We ruled out layout as a contributing factor by verifying page size, margins, report width, control dimensions, padding, and layering were all correctly set. No layout changes resolved the issue. The problem does not occur when font size is set to 10pt or higher, suggesting the update affected font metric calculations for small font sizes. Steps taken without resolution include adjusting all report and control sizing properties, testing multiple default printer configurations including Microsoft Print to PDF and Adobe PDF, and verifying Windows display scaling was set to 100%. If anyone has any solutions, please let me know! Thank you for your time.
Issue with Teams Transcript Trigger in Power Automate / Copilot Studio
Hey everyone, I’m currently trying to automate the retrieval of my Microsoft Teams meeting transcripts using an automation flow (Power Automate / Copilot Studio / similar tools). However, the trigger related to transcripts (e.g., “When a transcript is available”) doesn’t seem to work properly on my end. Has anyone here successfully set this up? Have you managed to use this trigger reliably? I did find a workaround to retrieve the transcripts, but it’s clearly less optimal than using a native trigger. Curious to hear if others have run into the same issue or found a better approach. Thanks! 🙏Primer: Finding Sensitivity Labels with PowerShell
Three cmdlets exist to fetch sensitivity labels. One is in the Exchange Online module; the others are powered by Graph APIs. What are the differences between each method and how can you make sure that the set of sensitivity labels fetched by PowerShell is the full set of available labels? These and other questions are investigated in this article. https://office365itpros.com/2026/06/11/sensitivity-label-ps/Declined meetings in MS Bookings - no notifications
Hi there We're investigating using MS Bookings at our law firm. We have our lawyers set up as "services", and we do not allow clients to book their own meetings. Our intake team will create a booking that then shows up in the Bookings page calendar, as well as the lawyers personal calendar. However in testing, we've seen that if the lawyer later declines the meeting, that meeting will be removed from the lawyers' calendar, but nothing is indicated on the Bookings page on that meeting. Further, a meeting declined notification is not sent to the Page admin. Am I missing a step here? Do we have to license the Booking page "user" account in admin center to create a mailbox so it can receive the declines and delegate/share the mailbox so people can read them? Any help would be appreciated Thank you!
Forms Governance
Is there any plan to improve Forms governance for administrators and users at large organizations? It feels like several of the back-end underpinnings of Forms are still living in the "consumer product" governance model, versus an "enterprise product" one. Such as: Giving admins more than 30 days to recover an orphaned form from a terminated employee before it's gone. Currently after this time period the best-effort approach seems to be to do an e-discovery hoping to find the results file so at least previous answers and a roadmap for re-creation of the form questions can be provided. Actually https://feedbackportal.microsoft.com/feedback/idea/8f957a1e-7bbd-ed11-83ff-000d3a1ab7d1 users during the Form creation process to make a form group-owned if it's intended for something more than personal use cases. Allowing the https://feedbackportal.microsoft.com/feedback/idea/7516877b-4abe-ed11-83ff-000d3a1f8608. https://feedbackportal.microsoft.com/feedback/idea/7ae16276-4abe-ed11-83ff-000d3a1ab5c3, prompt user when they're approaching the limit, and give users a bulk way to delete old forms/quizzes/polls to get back under the ceiling. Allowing https://feedbackportal.microsoft.com/feedback/idea/6c9cc40a-7bbd-ed11-83ff-002248273995. Improving the types of survey questions and integration into Powerpoint to come closer to the capabilities of 3rd party products like Slido. Many of these capabilities/features/management tools have been being asked for for years. Quite frankly, we administrators are much more interested in these kinds of nuts and bolts core functions than integrating animated backgrounds/sounds and other window-dressing bells and whistles. Would love to hear others' perspectives and hopefully this will catch the eye of someone with the product group. Thanks!
Migrate from Dropbox to Google Drive: Simplifying Cloud File Management
As organizations seek more integrated collaboration platforms, many are choosing to Migrate from Dropbox to Google Drive. While Dropbox remains a popular file-sharing solution, Google Drive offers seamless integration with the broader Google Workspace ecosystem, enabling teams to collaborate, communicate, and manage files from a single platform. Why Businesses Are Making the Switch Modern workplaces rely on real-time collaboration and centralized access to information. By choosing a Dropbox to Google Drive migration, organizations can take advantage of Google Docs, Sheets, Slides, Meet, and other productivity tools that work directly with stored files. In addition to enhanced collaboration, Google Drive provides flexible storage options, simplified sharing controls, and streamlined administration for businesses managing large volumes of data. Planning a Successful Migration Before beginning the migration process, organizations should assess their existing Dropbox environment, including folder structures, file permissions, shared content, and storage requirements. Understanding these elements helps ensure that data is transferred accurately and remains accessible after the move. A successful migration from Dropbox to the Google Drive project should also include user mapping, permission validation, pilot testing, and post-migration verification. Proper planning minimizes disruptions and helps users adapt quickly to the new platform. Supporting Collaboration in a Cloud-First Environment After migration, teams can collaborate on documents in real time, securely share files with internal and external users, and access content from virtually any device. The integration between Google Drive and Google Workspace applications creates a more connected and productive work environment. For organizations looking to streamline file management and improve collaboration, Apps4Rent assists with migrating from Dropbox to Google Drive projects, helping ensure secure data transfers, minimal downtime, and a smooth transition to Google's cloud-based platform.Restricting Access is The Most Important Step in a Microsoft 365 Copilot Deployment
I was asked what the most important step is in the deployment of Microsoft 365 Copilot. It’s a good question. Put simply, restricted access is the answer. That is, restricting Copilot access to information stored in Microsoft 365 locations until your tenant is ready for unrestricted Copilot search and retrieval. The fortunate thing is that tools exist today to make it relatively easy to establish guardrails for Copilot, which is exactly what you need to do. https://office365itpros.com/2026/06/10/microsoft-365-copilot-prep/
Office 365 Mailbox Export to PST - Third Party Tools: What’s Your Experience?
Exporting Office 365 mailboxes to PST is still a common requirement in many Microsoft 365 environments, especially for backup, compliance, and migration scenarios. While Microsoft offers native options like Purview eDiscovery and Outlook export, many administrators also consider third-party tools when dealing with large mailboxes or bulk export requirements. In real-world scenarios, factors like speed, ease of use, permission handling, and consistency of exported data often influence the choice of tool. Some teams prefer native methods for compliance control, while others explore third-party solutions to simplify large-scale or repeated export tasks. For those working with Microsoft 365, what has your experience been with third-party PST export tools? Have they helped in your environment, or do you still rely mainly on Microsoft’s native options?Sorting dataentries but keeping separation between subheadings
Hello! I would like to sort datasets with three columns, but keep the sets separate with different subheadings, but sort them all within themselves. I find it difficult to explain further with words but will attach images. In the first images the datasets are shown as entered and by default are sorted by the leftmost column, as that's how they're entered. I would however like to be able to sort by the right most column, but keep all the datasets separate. I have made a mockup in the second picture to show what I mean. Is this possible? Thank you in advance!How to Find Inactive (Stale) User Accounts
Inactive accounts can soak up a lot of paid-for but unused product licenses. With increases for Microsoft 365 licenses due to come into effect from 1 July 2026, it’s time to find and remove unused licenses from inactive user accounts. We discuss two approaches by using the Microsoft 365 Licensing Report or a PowerShell script that assesses inactivity based on sign-in dates and refresh token baselines. https://office365itpros.com/2026/06/09/find-inactive-accounts/Pivot Table
Hi everyone, I have an issue with the pivot table. There are filters from slicers and row labels in the table; when I double-click on any category from the table to see the filtered data, Excel fetches all data, not just what I filter on. Like below, I filtered from the slicer, and from the row labels, (Bills) should be between 100,000 and 200,000. I would like to see the (Bills) for (Central) in the (Start), but it gives me 632,478 and bills less than 100,000 and 200,000, not the 3 clients. Even if I tried from (In Progress), it's the same; it brings all data. The issue is only with the Bills column, but other filters come up correctlyMicrosoft Extends Sensitivity Label Block for Connected Services
The BlockContentAnalysisServices sensitivity label setting blocks access to Microsoft connected services for the content of labeled Office documents. The intention is that users assign sensitivity labels with the block setting to protect an organization’s most sensitive files. Regretfully, Microsoft’s documentation and explanation offered in the message center post don’t convey a clear story about its value. https://office365itpros.com/2026/06/08/blockcontentanalysisservices-label/Availability in MS Bookings not correct
In our bookings portal, we set-up a service with 2 staff assigned. The first staff memeber is available, the second one is on holiday (time off) We have made this set-up in the back-end. If there is a booking on that day already sheduledfor staff number one for let's say 10h, It will still show this time on the front. It looks like it doesn't count the time off from the second staff
Help with Formular to keep constants
Hi I have 2 rows for percentage values as per this table. C3 will be the value of (C2 + B3) / 2. However I need to check for an empty value so my calculation is =IF($B$3="",0, IF($C$2="",0,($C$2+$B$3)/2)) - I hope that is right, A B C D E F G 1 Name Name Name Name Name 2 50.25% 70.78% 60.14% 24.86% 53.64% 3 Name 60.12% 55.18% 65.45 4 Name 45.58% 47.91% I then need to copy(drag) the cells across and down and provide the correct values, so it uses the same top value and left value. For example D3 will be =IF($B$3="",0, IF($D$2="",0,($D$2+$B$3)/2)). C4 will be =IF($B$4="",0, IF($C$2="",0,($C$2+$B$4)/2)) and so which will alter as I drag down or left and it keeps using the correct column value and row value based on what column/row it is in. What I am doing now does not retain the right column or row value. I hope I make sense. Thanks.
