Laptop ignoring Windows 11 security updates
My laptop (with an Intel processor) has not recognised Windows 11 Security Updates 2026-04 and 2026-05. Each time I have got an installation failed message; when I re-try, I get the Windows up-to-date message. My Windows update history currently shows 2026-03 as the latest security update, and the latest is Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool x64 - v5.141 (KB890830) installed this week on 13 May 26. In contrast, my wife’s Samsung laptop (with a Snapdragon ARM 64 processor) is fully up-to-date with Security Update 2026-05 installed this week. Should I be worried about the recent lack of Windows Security Updates?
How to remove Windows Updates
and I don't mean "a" windows update! I want to completely remove the malware integrated into Windows 11 that downloads stuff without my consent and despite my explicit prohibition in all the possible settings. Simply removing wuapihost files makes Windows refuse to boot.
UX Changes Need Approval?
Hey everyone. Quick question regarding Microsoft approvals. We’ve already secured approval for our test and production environments, but we recently changed out a new, slightly refreshed UX for the feature (this is still in out testing as we can't release without Microsoft's approval). Does anyone know if we need to re-submit for approval for a minor UX change? And if we do, can we just drop an email to the CSPP team, or do we need to fill out the official form as a brand-new request? Thanks in advance!
Office 365 Tenant-to-Tenant Migration Best Practices
Hello Everyone, I’m currently working on an Office 365 tenant-to-tenant migration project and would like to get recommendations and insights from the community based on real-world experience. The goal is to ensure a smooth migration with minimal downtime and user impact. I’m currently reviewing areas such as tenant preparation, DNS and mail flow planning, identity management, licensing, MFA, and Conditional Access policies. I would also like to understand: Important prerequisites before starting the migration Best practices for source and target tenant preparation Common issues faced during migration Steps to validate the environment after migration Recommendations to reduce migration risks and downtime If anyone has handled similar migrations, please share your suggestions, lessons learned, or things that should be avoided during planning and execution.
Looking for a way to make adult content extremely difficult to access on my Windows 11 laptop
Hello everyone, I know this is an unusual question, but I sincerely hope someone here can help me. I am an 18-year-old student who has been struggling with an addiction to adult content for the past four years. I have been trying very hard to overcome it, and at one point I was able to stay away from it for almost a year. Unfortunately, since last October, I have relapsed and have been trying everything I can think of to prevent myself from accessing this content again. So far, I have tried: Changing my IPv4 and IPv6 DNS settings to family-safe filtering services. Editing the hosts file to block websites. Using various website blockers and parental control tools. Trying different software restrictions and browser-based solutions. The problem is that I am the one who configured all of these. When I experience a strong urge, I already know exactly how to disable or bypass every restriction because I set it up myself. Unfortunately, I cannot ask my parents or anyone close to me for help. Discussions about topics like this are extremely difficult in my family, and I don't feel comfortable involving them. Because of that, I'm trying to find a technical solution that I cannot easily undo on my own. I'm not asking how to bypass restrictions—I want the exact opposite. I am looking for the strongest possible Windows-based solution that makes it as difficult as possible for me to access adult content, even if I know a lot about computers. Are there any Windows features, account configurations, Group Policy settings, security options, or other methods that could make these restrictions significantly harder to remove? Even if they are not completely impossible to bypass, I would like something that requires so much effort that it gives me time to stop and reconsider. Any advice or suggestions would mean a great deal to me. This has become a serious personal struggle, and I am doing everything I can to overcome it because I genuinely believe my future depends on breaking this habit. Thank you very much for taking the time to read my post.
Can Copilot Studio agent connected via WhatApp channel escalate to representative?
We have built a Copilot Studio agent that uses adaptive cards and connected it through a WhatApp channel. We want this agent to be able to escalate a customer to a representative should they need assistance while communicating with the bot, however, with the current channel set up we use it is not possible. We had managed to connect the agent via Dynamics and WhatsApp simultaneously, but we then had double messages coming through on the WhatsApp chat, now we are only connected through the WhatApp channel. Is there a way for us to also connect through Dynamics in order for customers to be able to escalate to a customer representative? Or is there a way for us to allow for escalations via the WhatsApp connection?
