AB-620 - only Associate certification with prerequisites?
Hi According to https://aka.ms/certposter AB-620 has prerequisites? But nowhere on the exam page or in the study guide the prerequisites is referenced? Also in the Trainings report (Partner Center Insights), users who has passed the exam doesn´t get a certification and TrainingActivityId for the certification (only the exam) From working with Microsoft many many years, this is afaik the first and only Associate certification that has prerequisites! Or does it really? Normally those with prerequisites are the Expert certifications (and now the new Solutions Architect certification) Can someone at Microsof please engage and let us partners know, as this tampers with the insights we use Regards Gabriel

Windows 10 Dell PC Sometimes Becomes Very Slow, What Should I Check?
Hi everyone, I'm having an intermittent performance issue with my Dell PC running Windows 10. Most of the time it works normally, but every now and then the system suddenly becomes noticeably slow. When this happens, opening applications takes longer than usual, switching between windows feels delayed, and sometimes even File Explorer takes a few seconds to respond. The slowdown usually goes away after a while or after restarting the PC, so I haven't been able to identify a consistent pattern. I'm wondering if the problem could be related to a Dell driver, Windows background process, startup application, or possibly the storage drive. Since the computer is normally responsive, it's difficult to tell what changes when the slowdown starts. I'd like to troubleshoot this properly rather than simply restarting the machine whenever it happens. Are there any particular Event Viewer logs, Task Manager details, Dell diagnostic tools, or Windows performance checks that would be useful for identifying the cause? If anyone has experienced intermittent slowdowns on a Dell system running Windows 10, I'd appreciate hearing what helped you find the cause. Thanks!

Hi Microsoft Graph community, I'm currently working on a Microsoft Graph integration that needs to retrieve: Files recently accessed/used by the current user Files shared with the current user Files from OneDrive and SharePoint I'm currently using the following APIs: GET /me/drive/recent GET /me/drive/sharedWithMe GET /me/insights/used However, these APIs are deprecated, and some of them will stop returning data after November 2026. (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/drive-sharedwithme?view=graph-rest-1.0&utm_source=chatgpt.com) I'm stuck in development because I haven't been able to identify a Microsoft-supported replacement that provides the same functionality. Could someone please clarify: What is the official replacement for /me/drive/recent? What is the official replacement for /me/drive/sharedWithMe? What is the official replacement for /me/insights/used? Is there a single recommended Microsoft Graph API that can provide recently used and shared files across both OneDrive and SharePoint? I'm specifically looking for the officially supported API/recommended approach, rather than a workaround that may also become deprecated. Any guidance from Microsoft Graph experts or Microsoft employees would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!Build an AI-Powered Customer Email Assistant with Power Automate
What if AI could read incoming customer emails, understand the issue, determine the priority, and prepare a response for human review? I recently built a practical AI + Power Automate workflow for this scenario. The workflow is simple: Customer Email → Power Automate → AI Analysis → Parse JSON → Excel Log → Human Review → Customer Response The AI analyzes the email subject and body and returns structured information: Category Priority Problem Summary Draft Response Power Automate then stores the customer request in Excel and sends the AI-generated draft to a human for review before anything is sent to the customer. The key principle is: AI understands and prepares. Power Automate orchestrates. Humans make the final decision. I documented the complete use case and workflow in my latest newsletter: From Inbox to Intelligent Response: Build an AI Customer Email Assistant https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/edition-011-from-inbox-intelligent-response-build-ai-customer-sajeda-43mzc/ I’d love to hear from the community: How are you using AI with Power Automate for email or customer-service automation?

Hello everyone, I am currently in the process of renewing my MCT status and my application has been routed through the "Test-Out" flow. I need to complete the payment in the portal to unlock the assessment. Since the application fee is a significant investment and Forfeited, I want to make sure I am fully prepared before I submit the payment and start the test. However, I haven't been able to find any official study guides, skills outlines, or practice exams for this specific Test-Out track. For those who have recently gone through the Test-Out renewal flow: What core competencies or topics does the assessment heavily focus on? Is it primarily based on instructional methodologies, classroom management, or specific Microsoft platform tools? Are there any specific areas or surprises I should look out for? Any insights, tips, or areas to focus on would be greatly appreciated! Thank you, SurajAdvanced Credential for Holders of Multiple Microsoft Certifications
I would like to suggest a new type of advanced credential for people who earn multiple Microsoft Certifications. Microsoft Certifications provide clear goals for individual skill areas, but after earning several Associate and Expert certifications, it can become difficult to maintain motivation because there is currently little additional recognition for achieving a broad range of advanced certifications. For example, Microsoft could introduce a special credential or badge such as: Microsoft Certified Platinum Expert Possible requirements could be: 2 or more Expert-level certifications 3 or more Associate-level certifications Additional recognition for certifications across multiple solution areas such as Azure, AI, Security, Power Platform, and Microsoft 365 This kind of credential could provide a clear long-term goal for learners who continue developing their Microsoft skills across multiple technologies. It could also benefit Microsoft by encouraging continuous learning, cross-skilling between different Microsoft technology areas, and continued engagement with Microsoft Learn and the Certification program. Individual certifications are valuable, but I believe an additional credential that recognizes both the breadth and depth of a learner's achievements would make the Microsoft Certification ecosystem even more motivating. I hope Microsoft will consider something like this for the future Credentials program.

Hello, I am trying to join the Microsoft Learn Student Ambassadors program, but I cannot access the registration process. Steps: 1. Go to the Microsoft Learn Student Ambassadors page. 2. Sign in with my Microsoft account. 3. Click Get Started. Expected result: I expected to see the Student Ambassadors registration or onboarding page. Actual result: I am always redirected to: https://mvp.microsoft.com/account The page only shows Privacy options such as Download/Delete my data. I do not see any registration or onboarding steps. I have already tried: - Different Microsoft accounts (Outlook and Gmail-based Microsoft account) - Different browsers - Incognito mode - Clearing browser cache and cookies The result is always the same. Could someone please clarify: 1. Is the Student Ambassadors program currently accepting new members? 2. Has the registration process changed? 3. Is this expected behavior or an account issue? 4. If there is a new registration process, where can I find it? I have attached a screenshot of the page I am redirected to. Thank you.
