Désinscription Windows ESU (Windows 10)
Bonjour, A la suite de problème sur mon matériel à la suite d'une mise à jour de sécurité (KB5071546) du programme de mise à jour de sécurité étendu (Windows ESU), j'ai fait une demande sur le support pour qu'on me désinscrive de l'ESU. Le billet est le numéro 7098812524 Après échange on m'a indiqué que je pouvais le faire depuis mon compte Microsoft. Mais sur mon compte Microsoft, je ne trouve pas d'onglet dans la partie "Abonnement" qui se réfère à l'ESU et donc je n'arrive pas à me désinscrire par mes propres moyens. Pouvez-vous m'aider, s'il vous plaît ? Je suis à disposition si vous avez besoin d'informations complémentaires.
SmartScreen false positives
Hello, I'm a developer of https://www.abareplace.com/ Unfortunately, Microsoft SmartScreen blocks https://www.abareplace.com/download/ of my application and multiple attempts to contact Microsoft about this case were in vain. The app is clean on VirusTоtаl, has a valid digital signature, and is published to MS Store. However, users see the SmartScreen warning when trying to run the installer downloaded from my website: Windows protected your PC Windows Defender SmartScreen prevented an unrecognized app from starting. Running this app might put your PC at risk. Other developers report exactly the same problem and it https://www.reddit.com/r/Windows11/comments/1pz8qww/windows_code_signing_is_broken_for_indie/ It has no sense from the security point of view to block something that is already published on Microsoft Store. I submitted a ticket to https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/wdsi/filesubmission?persona=SoftwareDeveloper one month ago. The ticket was "In progress" for many weeks, then was silently closed. I opened a new ticket one week ago and it's still "in progress". I also submitted the file via Report this file as safe > I am the owner or representative of this website and I want to report an incorrect warning about it button in Microsoft Edge several times, but received no confirmation email that you should receive after submitting the form. I know that the times when Steve Ballmer shouted: "Developers! Developers! Developers!" are long gone, but can Microsoft make live at least a bit easier to independent software vendors? Thank you.
Windows update made dell laptop into a brick
Last security update on Jan 13th broke my laptop. Every program keeps freezing and doesn't do anything. Even when I open task manager it may run for a minute but soon it will freeze, and can't even end task. Only thing that is working is my browser. Yesterday I managed to reinstall windows using a USB and it was working again. While i was away, it forced an update and once again the same issues arise. laptop is too old to install 11, and going to try and reinstall windows again. There a way I can turn off the windows 10 update before this happens again? there is a patch, but i cannot install it. When it automated update, it bricks again and i can't install the most recent patch. it's in a never ending loop of hoping it doesn't auto update when i leave the computer on, or reinstall the OS with a usb.

Local user management password policy inconsistent behaviour
Hi all, Maybe some of you can enlighten me regarding the windows 10 + 11 local user password policy. The part that I want to question is "not contain parts of the user's full name". Then, let's say I want to create a new user with the following detail: Fullname: Max Mustermann Username: TESTUSER1 Pass: MaxPassword12345678 When I try to create that user via cmd or powershell, either using "net" or "New-LocalUser", it will not succeed and it will show the error "the password does not meet complexity....", which is expected. However, if I try to create the same user with the same credential via lusrmgr, it will be created without any error. So, why there is a different behaviour between lusrmgr and CLI? Then, if we have the existing user, and try to change the password of that user via lusrmgr, and the password contains the part of the user's full name, then the error will be thrown as expected. So, why is it only affect the lusrmgr and only when we create a new user? Is this a bug? Thanks!Microsoft account linked to a deleted e-mail address
I'm trying to help a friend who has a Microsoft account which is linked to an e-mail address that was deleted some years ago. He had a recent problem on his laptop when Windows 11 crashed. He went into the troubleshooting option and eventually selected the recovery option and it rebooted ok. Interestingly, when we looked at accounts he was able to select the option to login to his administrator account and could see all details like his 365 subscription etc. The problem is he doesn't remember his Microsoft account password and as the e-mail account linked to it is an old one that was deleted a few years ago, he is unable to receive an e-mail with the authentication code to change his password and then change the e-mail address etc. We tried the other options where it asked lots of questions like previous passwords and even the card number for his subscription and when it reached the end, there was a message saying that facility isn't currently available. We can't find a telephone number to speak to someone at Microsoft support and also don't know any support e-mail address. When he tried to contact and use a chat facility it expects him to login, but he doesn't know his password so that option wasn't helpful. We are now in a situation where we don't know how to resolve the problem. One final option which he isn't keen on is to create a new Microsoft account,cancel his credit card and get a new number, so that way they won't charge him for the 365 renewal and then create a new Microsoft account and set up a new subscription. That is one way to work around the problem because he can't find any way to resolve the problem and so far we have found it impossible to actually speak to someone in support. Any advice on this will be appreciated. Thank you David
Mangled email address (on Microsoft's side, not ours)
Ok awhile back when our company was using both Google products and Microsoft products, I already had a Google account and was told that I could use both my Microsoft account and my Google account for work (back when both companies integrated their services seamlessly). So, in order to login to both accounts simultaneously I set my default email account to my Google Account and since then everythins worked. Up until recently. Since where I live happens to be now near a Microsoft Data Center, our company recently decided to switch entirely to Microsoft products. Well, since we are now using multi-factor (as in more than dual factor) authorization I have been having issues logging into my work account. I was told by my IT Administrator that since Microsoft mangled my original (Hotmail) email account when I made my Google (Gmail) email account my primary, is has been the source of the issues with our multi-factored proxy / VPN (my IT admins words not mine). I tried contacting and talking directly to Microsoft support and was told that I needed to create a new email account (which I will not do because I have years of work related documents associated both with my Microsoft and Google accounts) because Microsoft is unwilling to go back and fix THEIR MISTAKE. I see no security reason why I cannot switch my primary email account from Google back to Microsoft (so that I can properly unlink my Google account without losing information from either account).
