Personal Microsoft Account stuck to old Teams‑Free Azure AD tenant - identity corruption
I have a personal Microsoft Account that was automatically linked to a Teams‑Free Azure AD tenant years ago. The tenant still appears in the Azure portal, but it is inaccessible and cannot be deleted. I cannot leave the tenant, and the admin account for the tenant no longer exists. Because of this, my personal Microsoft Account now has a corrupted work/school identity object attached to it. The symptoms include: Office.com rejects login and says I must use a work/school account OneDrive.com “Recent” fails to load (“Unknown render failure”) Azure portal shows the old Teams‑Free tenant but any action triggers errors I cannot leave or delete the tenant I cannot remove the directory object from my MSA I have opened 4 support requests, each of which turn into callback from supervisor after I repeatedly confirm I am not a commercial customer and I do not have a commercial account. All 4 times the supervisor says they are transfers me to the commercial team, but I just get transferred to a message saying, "We are closed", call back during business hours. Most recently this happened at 1:30 PM Central Time on a Monday. It's unlikely Microsoft is closed in the middle of the day. This is not a commercial tenant and not a business account. It is a personal Microsoft Account with a corrupted identity object caused by the old Teams‑Free provisioning. I need escalation to the Microsoft Account Identity Team, who can remove the corrupted directory object from my personal account. Has anyone seen this before or had it resolved?
windows 11 update+keyboard not working
Hi, I finally updated my laptop to Window11, after my computer stubbornly suggested it for a long time and at the same time I thought that the worst bugs would be bypassed. My update went well, but the only problem is that the laptop keyboard does not work. When I connect an external keyboard to the laptop, it works fine and of course the mouse and touchpad work. At first I figured it out on my own and downloaded the latest available drivers, but nothing made the keyboard work. Finally I ended up asking the artificial intelligence and got good answers and recommendations from there, but it turned out that Asus did not offer all the drivers that the AI recommended. At the moment the situation is open, I use the computer with an external keyboard, but the idea is also to update back to windows 10, if nothing works. So I would like some advice on how to solve the problem? Thanks in advance. My laptop is ASUS M433IA-HM493T Laptop.

MS Supervisor said Find my Device only works with Surface devices and not desktops
Good morning. I have been having an issue with location settings on my Microsoft account for Find my Device. I am using a Windows 11 Desktop. After a repair install of Windows my location in devices worked briefly. Now the account and devices links on my dashboard bring up a screen with empty gray boxes. When trying to switch to them from a working link I get this screen very quickly pop up: After 4 chats with Microsoft support a Supervisor came online and said that you could not find your PC with a Desktop, only a surface device. What? Then they said I should reach out to HP and then asked if I was all set. I have never had someone with no idea what to do next just make something up and ask if they can go.BIOS corruption is bricking, how to fix?
The serious issue where my BIOS appears to be corrupted, causing my computer to become unbootable and effectively bricking the device. I need guidance on how to repair or recover a corrupted BIOS to restore my system's functionality without causing further damage.backlight failure (screen goes dark but still works)
the computer is still running and the screen remains on. This happens intermittently and seems to occur randomly, making it difficult to use my device consistently. I've tried adjusting brightness settings and updating display drivers, but the problem persists. I'm seeking advice on how to diagnose and fix the backlight failure to restore normal screen visibility.Failure of LED Backlights
My monitor's screen still shows a faint image when viewed at an angle or with a bright flashlight, but the display remains completely dark during normal use, indicating the LED backlight has failed while the LCD panel itself is still functional. I have already tried reseating the video cables, testing the monitor on another computer, and adjusting the brightness settings in the monitor's OSD menu, but none of these steps have restored the backlight, so I'm hoping someone here can suggest a potential fix or confirm whether this is a known issue with this particular model.USB-C port delivering power but no data on PC
My USB-C port is able to charge my devices and provide power without any issues, but it completely fails to detect or transfer any data when I connect a flash drive, external hard drive, or smartphone, which makes me think the data pins might be damaged. I have already tried using multiple cables and devices, and I have checked the device manager for driver issues, but nothing has resolved the problem, so I am looking for any other troubleshooting steps I can take.
Why is there a whirring sound coming from the coil of my charging circuit?
My laptop emits a high-pitched whirring or buzzing noise directly from the charging port area, and this sound becomes more noticeable when the battery is charging or the system is under heavy load, which leads me to believe it is coil whine from the charging circuit. I am concerned whether this noise indicates a failing component or a potential safety hazard, and I would appreciate any advice on how to diagnose and resolve this issue safely.

My Windows laptop suddenly shut off after a small liquid spill near the vent area and now it will not power on at all, with no charging light or fan spin when I press the power button. I suspect a motherboard short circuit because I have already tried a different charger and removed the battery, but there is still no response, so I would appreciate any advice on whether this is repairable or if I should replace the whole board.What to do if Battery draining faster than expected?
My laptop battery has been draining much faster than usual, losing about 50% of its charge in under an hour during normal web browsing and document work, which used to last over four hours. I have already checked the battery health report, which shows no major degradation, and I have adjusted my power settings to the most energy-efficient plan, but the problem persists and I need help identifying the cause.My Wi-Fi disconnecting/intermittent on Windows 11
My Wi-Fi connection on Windows 11 keeps dropping randomly throughout the day, disconnecting for a few seconds before reconnecting on its own, which is very disruptive during video calls and online gaming.
