  Note: to run this you have to be a "Global Admin" or it won't work.
  
  $adminUPN="replace_with_admin-username"
  $orgName="Company Name"
  $usercredential = Get-Credential -username $adminUPN -Message "type password"
  Connect-SPOService -Url https://$orgName-admin.sharepoint.com -Credential $userCredential
  
  $siteurl="https://$orgName.sharepoint.com/sites/desired_site_collection"
  set-sposite -identity $siteurl -sharingcapability ExternalUserAndGuestSharing
  
  The
  "Connect-SPOService -Url https://$orgName-admin.sharepoint.com"
  URL you get from Sharepoint online admin center

    Hi everyone,
    
    Thank you for the discusion and the PowerShell solution. I noticed that it was mentioned back in August that a fix was being rolled out for the GUI. Does anyone know when we can expect this?
    
    Cheers,
