MFA/Authenticator App Issues
Attempt #2 at posting this. Locked out of business account due to authenticator app not receiving verification requestion. Contacted support through personal account with no success was directed here. Can't find the first post I attempted so I'm making another will include more details as needed if this works this time.MFA/Authenticator App Issues
I need to have my authenticator/mfa reset for my business account. After Windows force updated GPU drivers on 12/7/2024 i was left with corrupted registry files and a completely unstable system requiring a clean install of Windows 11 Pro. Somehow in this process my business account lost its connection to the Microsoft authenticator app so i am unable to get passed the check authenticator app for code screen. I attempted to contact support through my personal email as without being able to successfully login the contact support function would not work, support directed to this discussion board as they were unable to provide assistance.
Win 11 24H2
I have a Dell Desktop Inspiron 3880, with Win 11 23H2 running just fine. Two days ago got a prompt to download Win 11 24H2, which I did. The update began but stalled and the computer “hung” for 2 hours before I manually restarted it. Since then when the computer boots up I get a window which asks for "Choose an OS". The choices are: (1) “Windows 11 on volume 6” or (2) “Windows 11 on volume 6” (yes - identical choices), with an option to “change defaults or choose other options”. If I select #2, the system seems to boot up but comes back to the 2 choices. If I select #1 the system boots up normally. System info shows that the system is still on Win 11 23H2. I’ve tried all the “fix it” ideas shown in the “other options” mentioned above to no avail. This morning the system automatically downloaded and installed Win 11 24H2. Systems runs OK but I still get the “Choose OS” prompt at boot up. Any suggestions shy of doing a clean install?
The true fix for missing Windows 11 Store App.
Here it is ignore other fixes tried them all they don’t work. I lost the Store App in the upgrade from 10 to 11. Even resetting PC never brought it back. So if that sounds similar to how you lost it do this 20 second fix. 1. Open Xbox App 2. Open settings. 3. Click on General settings tab (left second tab on list) 4. In upper right of screen (window) there will be a list of system bundles that are missing (I had three) click install on all of them. When installed it’s done close app. 5. Open Windows settings and go to Apps tab, then Apps and features (very top) scroll down list your welcome Store is back. Go set a restore point cause who knows what a windows update will do next.The true fix for missing Windows 11 Store App.

Missing "Module Assessment Passed"
I've done the self-learning content for AZ-900, AI-900, DP-900, and SC-900. In every case, once you've done all the units of a module, and correctly answered everything on the knowledge check, you'll check a "Module Assessment Passed" note on the unit page. Except for one module :-D It's the "Explore fundamentals of large-scale analytics" module athttps://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/training/modules/examine-components-of-modern-data-warehouse/ For some reason despite doing everything correctly, it just refuses to show that line, which is annoying. I reported it on the page as one-way feedback but I'm hoping someone who can fix this sees it here. It must be a bug specific to this page because I've done... literally the above hundred others fine.Conditional Access Policies not working as intended/expected
What I try to achieve: If $user signs in to office.com from their private/shared computer/tablet they should be logged out as soon as they close their browser to ensure nobody else can just re-open the browser and get into the session. To achieve that, we deployed the following CAP: This seems to do what we wanted. But sadly, it also does more, which we do not want: It signs off users in their active browser. So if someone uses e.g. outlook.office.com they will be signed out after a very random amount of time. So how do we get users signed off on closing the browser but keep them signed in UNTIL they close the browser?

Challenges not displaying information accurately
For the second time I have completed a challenge that does not display as completed on the main board. Hence I become not eligible. Challenges -Ignite Edition Challenge: Prepare for the next generation of data analytics with Microsoft Fabric -AI Skills Challenge: Build Intelligent AppsReally dislike the new surface arc mouse
I have huge hands. The old arc mouse with 2 buttons and a middle slider was amazing. But now that it's one button it cannot figure out what to do with my giant fingers. It likes to treat my index finger as 2 fingers. I have had to use my phone stylus with it to verify that it was the mouse and not me. I have already replaced it twice. Once as an exchange with another one that had the same problem, and the second time with a Surface Mobile Mouse. Though I don't like the bulkiness of the Mobile mouse in my tablet bag.Seeking Advice: Best Way to Store and Display One-Page Case Studies in SharePoint
Hi SharePoint Community, I’m currently working on a project to better organize and display a collection of one-page PowerPoint case studies. Right now, I have hundreds of one-pager slides stored in a single PowerPoint document, but I’d like to transition these into SharePoint to make them easier to search, view, and share. Here’s what I’m looking to achieve: Better Display: A user-friendly way to browse and view individual slides (or case studies) directly in SharePoint, without needing to open the full PowerPoint document. Enhanced Searchability: How can I use Metadata effectively to tag these case studies and enable better search functionality? I want users to be able to filter or search by key attributes like topic, industry, or key outcomes. If anyone has experience with similar use cases or ideas on how best to structure this, I’d love to hear your thoughts! Specific tips, tools, or SharePoint features that have worked for you would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your help!IgniteEditionChallenge
