Account Blocked on the Feedback Hub
Everytime I log into the feedback hub with my user checklist animations. I am redirected to the url https://feedbackportal.microsoft.com/feedback/blocked/ This happens on any computer and any browser. How can I get my account unblocked? I have reached out to Microsoft support 3 times now. My latest discussion I was told to post here. I was helping users on the feedback hub for PowerPoint. I am guessing that is not something that you want others doing because you blocked me. I know that I posted some future tools that would help other users complete things they were looking for, or maybe it was because I was replying to old posts. Either way I just want to be able to help people so please unblock my account.
Windows update in settings not showing up (something went wrong. Try open settings later)
i've had this problem a while now but didnt think much of it until i needed newer versions of windows to run apps. tried many ways like resetting settings to refresh. tried pc health check, troubleshoots which gave results that the problem was no identifiable. im not sure what i should do. i am trying to update to the lastest win 10 version as my pc does not support win 11.
What Happens Outside "Active Hours?"
While looking at the features and functionality of autopatch, I'm being asked for more detailed information on behaviors related to "Active Hours", but more specifically what happens outside of active hours. (Please let me know if additional information is required to answer this) Example: It's 21:30p, the device active hours are being automatically set (05:00a to 20:00p) and a quality update is discovered and installed that requires a reboot to complete. if I'm still interacting with the host, will it try and reboot because its technically outside of active hours? Will it provide a warning or option to pause, reschedule, etc? What is the expected behavior? Does the windows host recognize that activity is occurring and wait until a specific point in time outside of active hours? How best can I explain what happens outside of active hours to the rest of the team so they will better understand expected behaviors? Thank you in advance,
Enable Windows 10 Extended Security Update
Hi All, We are managing our Windows 10 workstation fleet using SCCM, with activation handled via KMS. Since we have not yet transitioned to Windows 11, we’ve purchased ESU licenses. Microsoft provides detailed guidance on activating ESU through various methods — including Intune, phone, Internet, and the Volume Activation Management Tool (VMAT) for clients without Internet access — which is very helpful. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/whats-new/enable-extended-security-updates Does anyone know the best method to enable ESU for enterprise workstations using SCCM/KMS, or through any alternative approach? Thank you in advance.
Sugestão de aprimoramento de restauração do Windows
Pensando na segurança e transparência durante a recuperação de arquivos, sugiro as seguintes melhorias para o app de restauração: Análise profunda via nuvem (quando online): Os arquivos restaurados devem passar por escaneamento em busca de ameaças, cruzando dados com bancos atualizados na nuvem para identificar apps maliciosos. Isso garante que nenhum arquivo infectado seja restaurado. Privacidade e segurança claras: O app deve informar que os dados estão sendo analisados de forma segura e privada, com mensagens que reforcem a proteção ao usuário. Funcionamento offline transparente: Se estiver em modo offline, o app deve comunicar que o escaneamento profundo não estará disponível, permitindo ao usuário decidir se deseja continuar. Preservação de dados e configurações pessoais: Independentemente do tamanho dos arquivos, nada deve ser perdido — a menos que esteja contaminado. O sistema também deve manter as configurações pessoais do usuário após a restauração. Consulta sobre escopo da restauração: O app pode perguntar se a restauração será apenas dos dados de um usuário ou do sistema inteiro, evitando ações indesejadas. Pesquisa web sobre riscos associados: Se conectado à internet, o app pode buscar informações sobre aplicativos suspeitos que estejam sendo restaurados, evitando reinstalar ameaças conhecidas. Clareza sobre publicidade e marketing: O usuário deve ser informado se há envolvimento de recursos publicitários ou recomendação de apps, garantindo que não haja promoção de conteúdo malicioso. Essa proposta foi construída com apoio do Microsoft Copilot, que ajudou a organizar e expandir minhas ideias. Espero que contribua para fortalecer ainda mais a experiência e segurança dos usuários no Windows. 😄👏
Estimating Upload Bandwidth in Delivery Optimization
There is a policy(such as DOMaxBackgroundDownloadBandwidth) to control "download" bandwidth in Delivery Optimization (DO), but currently, there is no policy to control "upload" bandwidth. However, according to Microsoft's doc, the cacheable content that an uploading device can peer is limited to four slots. If four peer downloads occur simultaneously and the download bandwidth is limited to 1 Mbps, the upload bandwidth is expected to range from a minimum of 1 Mbps to a maximum of 4 Mbps. Is my understanding correct?Delivery Optimization (DO) Peer Selection Behavior
We are planning to introduce Delivery Optimization (DO) in our company. Below are the key conditions. Could you confirm if my understanding is correct? Scenario: Download Mode: Set to LAN (1) DORestrictPeerSelectionBy: Set to 1 (Subnet mask) or 2 (Local Peer Discovery (DNS-SD)) to restrict peer selection by subnet Client A is on Subnet 1 and requests a download Client B is on Subnet 2 and has the cached file Network Constraints: All internet traffic must go through a cloud proxy We cannot allow endpoints (*.prod.do.dsp.mp.microsoft.com) on the proxy due to regulatory reasons My Understanding: Client A and Client B share the same public IP address since they connect to the DO service via the cloud proxy. If only LAN (1) is set, the DO service considers Client B as Client A’s peer because Client B has the target cache and the same public IP address. If both LAN (1) and DORestrictPeerSelectionBy are configured, Client B will not be recognized as Client A’s peer since they are on different subnets.
