As a public K-12 U.S. entity, we utilize both Microsoft and Google Workspace licensing. At some point last year, Microsoft Teams supported syncing Google Calendar events into Microsoft Teams' Calendar, per this support article:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/setup-calendar-syncing-with-google-workspace
However, after running into multiple issues trying to set up the sync and according to a recent Microsoft support ticket I submitted, the only way I can sync events now is to export an .ics file and import it into Teams. For us to continue to use Microsoft teams, we would really benefit from a Google Calendar sync into the Teams Calendar functionality.

shin0933 The article you linked indicated that Calendar syncing between Google Workspace and Microsoft Teams will no longer be supported beginning October 2026. I don't have any more context behind this, but the documentation makes it clear that this feature will no longer be available.

Question about contact sharing in the new Outlook
In the new Outlook for Windows, calendar sharing is fully supported, but contact sharing is still not available. This has been a long-standing request from many organizations, yet there is no clear indication that it will be implemented.
My question is:
Is Microsoft planning to add native contact folder sharing to the new Outlook, or is there a strategic reason why this capability is not being included?
If contact sharing is not part of the product roadmap, what is the recommended Microsoft-supported solution for common business scenarios where an executive assistant needs to view, manage, and update an executive's contacts without being granted full mailbox access?
This is a very common requirement in organizations, and currently there does not appear to be an equivalent replacement for the classic Outlook contact-sharing experience.
Thank you.

onlyamd Native sharing or delegation of a user’s Contacts folder is not currently available in new Outlook for Windows, and we don’t have a public delivery date to share. If an assistant must manage an executive’s personal contacts today, the supported path is to continue using classic Outlook and grant folder-level permissions to the Contacts folder rather than full mailbox access; a shared mailbox or another central directory can be considered when the contacts are organizational rather than personal.
You can track new Outlook availability and migration guidance here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365-apps/outlook/get-started/guide-product-availability.
Also, the SMEs on this chat are Windows and Intune. This might be a better place to post an Outlook (or New Outlook) related question: Outlook | Microsoft Community HubTo be candid, this is the part that many customers struggle to understand.
Microsoft is encouraging customers to move to the new Outlook, while at the same time one of the most common enterprise collaboration scenarios, shared and delegated contacts, still has no replacement and no published roadmap.
Continuing to use classic Outlook is a temporary workaround, not a long-term strategy, especially if the long-term direction is to retire the classic client.
What is the recommended migration path for organizations that depend on contact delegation today? If there is no replacement yet, can Microsoft confirm that customers should continue using classic Outlook until a supported alternative becomes available?
Why now days windows 11 gets manaul updates file size more 3.5GB.

Hello, so Windows 11 updates are only ~3.5GB if you are pulling the full payload from the catalog. If you're updating from the cloud (as is the recommendation) you will only be downloading the deltas. This means you are actually downloading only a small portion of that payload. :)
Hi!
I know im young to be posting stuff like this but im curious,
so sometimes i use linux for fun and whatnot, but ive always had issues with compatability with .exe's and the overall use of windows apps and other games and such, and ive always thought of seeing an .exe work onlinux, but with the customizability of linux and ease of windows, i'm not sure if any employees or such will see this, but this is just my curiosity.
Thank you!Assuming your're 13 years or older (if in the U.S.), which is the minimum requirement to post here, Linux cannot recognize .exe files by default. You would need a program like WINE installed on your Linux distro to be able to run .exe programs.
