Hello everyone! I am a beginner and I wanted to run a Windows 11 VM on Hyper‑V to test Windows in a virtual environment. Since my device only has 8 GB RAM (with Windows itself using ~50%), it took some effort to get the VM up and running. Windows 11 requires 4 GB startup memory, and I kept hitting the “not enough memory” error. This post is my contribution so you don’t have to go through the same struggle! Windows 11 Requirements on Hyper‑V 4 virtual processors 4096 MB (4 GB) RAM 64 GB storage Secure Boot with Trusted Platform Module (TPM) enabled Things You’ll Need Hyper‑V Manager https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/virtualization/hyper-v/host-hardware-requirements?pivots=windows Windows 11 ISO https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows11 Step 1: Creating the VM In Hyper‑V Manager: Actions → New Virtual Machine Set Name and Location Choose Generation 2 Set Startup Memory: 4096 MB Configure Networking: Default Switch Create Virtual Hard Disk: minimum 64 GB Under Installation Options, select “Install an operating system from a bootable image file” and browse for the Windows 11 ISO. Finish setup. Step 2: Configuring the VM Right‑click the VM → Settings Under Security, ensure Secure Boot is checked (default). Enable Trusted Platform Module (TPM). Apply changes. Step 3: Getting the VM to Start Here’s where the issue begins. On an 8 GB host, starting the VM with 4 GB allocated often fails with a memory error. Windows setup requires 4 GB RAM initially. After installation, you can safely reduce the VM’s memory to 2048 MB (2 GB) and enable Dynamic Memory for efficiency. This way, the VM boots with less pressure and grows as needed. Workaround: Freeing Memory To make sure Hyper‑V has enough contiguous RAM (~4100 MB), I did the following: Closed all apps on the taskbar except Hyper‑V. Opened Resource Monitor (instead of Task Manager). Closed apps in the system tray (except Defender). In Resource Monitor → Memory tab, sorted processes by Working Set (KB). Ended non‑essential processes until at least 4100 MB available RAM was shown. Unsafe to End (avoid terminating these) System processes: svchost.exe, lsass.exe, wininit.exe, csrss.exe Hyper‑V services: vmms.exe, vmcompute.exe Antivirus/security: MsMpEng.exe (Windows Defender) Drivers and background services (audio, network, GPU helpers) Windows Update components Generally Safe to End (if not needed) Web browsers: chrome.exe, msedge.exe, firefox.exe Office apps: winword.exe, excel.exe, powerpnt.exe Media players: spotify.exe Game launchers: steam.exe, epicgameslauncher.exe Updaters: Adobe/game patchers Cloud sync clients: onedrive.exe, dropbox.exe, googledrive.exe Chat apps: teams.exe, skype.exe, discord.exe msedgewebview2.exe (WebView2 runtime for apps like Teams/Outlook) explorer.exe (you’ll lose desktop/taskbar until restarted) Booting Connect to the VM first before clicking Start. If you see >>Start PXE over IPv4 and keys don’t respond Turn off the VM then click Start, make sure to hold a key after you click start. You can most likely proceed now onto setting up Windows If stuck at a background with “ENG, Accessibility, Power” icons but no login box: In the VM connection window → View → uncheck Enhanced Session. This reveals the login screen. After setup: Shut down the VM. In settings, reduce memory to 2048 MB. Restart your host. Now Windows 11 runs in Hyper‑V on an 8 GB RAM without constant memory errors!
Impossible to sign in with different user account
I use this browser with two MS accounts. The techcommunity does not let me choose the user account to sign in with! I'm forced to open a private window to sign in and write this feedback. So when clicking Sign In, it thinks I want to sign in with my M365 company account, and asks me to accept certain permissions. However, I want to sign in with my personal MS account. So I click cancel and get redirected to the home page. So, in order to visit the site with my personal MS account, must either use a private windows, or clear every single cookie for every single Microsoft domain, which is also NOT what I want to do. This is simply unacceptable and driving me away from using the techcommunity at all! I made a video for you to show you how broken the sign in flow is: https://i.imgur.com/KnxnPKM.mp4
Wifi constantly drops in Windows 11
Apologies in advance of this question has been asked but I've been experiencing an issue for the past 2-3 weeks that has been driving me nuts. My wifi connection seems to constantly drop throughout the day while using my Windows 11 laptop. I've tried 1) restarting 2) restarting the router 3) uninstalling/reinstalling the latest Wi-Fi driver recommended by my manufacturer 4) Uninstalling reinstalling the latest Intel wifi driver recommended 5) Network reset and it still consistently happens. All my other devices stay connected. I've noticed that it tends to particular happen after I upload large files to Dropbox or Google Drive. Other odd happenings include being able to maintain a video call yet if I try to access a website there is no connection all the while the video call maintains. I'm tempted to take this to the Best Buy geek squad but I'm worried they either won't put that much effort into and/or will just tell me to do a complete Windows reinstall which I don't feel will help. Because the connection comes and goes, I tend to not think it's a hardware issue but let me know if you have any thoughts.
"Authorization has been denied for this request"
Hello, We’re encountering an issue with sending proactive messages to Microsoft Teams. We have multiple tenants, and in one of them the REST API works correctly. The app registration is multi-tenant, and we obtain the access token from https://login.microsoftonline.com/botframework.com/oauth2/v2.0/token, which works without any problems. However, in another tenant the same flow fails with "Authorization has been denied for this request", even though we are still able to retrieve the access token. After decoding both tokens, everything matches except for the tid. I also tried switching the app to single-tenant and requesting the token from https://login.microsoftonline.com/<my-tenant-id>/oauth2/v2.0/token. This returns a valid token, but using it to send a proactive message results in the same authorization error. My understanding from recent documentation is that multi-tenant bot creation has been deprecated and bots should now migrate to a single-tenant model. Does this also apply to bots created in the Developer Portal? The Bot Framework REST API documentation doesn’t explicitly mention any changes: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/bot-service/rest-api/bot-framework-rest-connector-authentication?view=azure-bot-service-4.0&tabs=multitenant#bot-to-connector I could also see multiple users facing the same issue, so is there a bug that is currently preventing some tenants from using the service?

URGENT HELP- cant access admin centre for my business
Hi. Needing urgent assistance/advice on how to access my control panel when the Multi- Factor Authenticator app wont be produce the security code when I've signed in using username and password. I'm desperate, I've called Microsoft 3 times with no return call to assist. I cannot send any quotes/invoice from my 3 businesses for 2 days nowTeams B2B sync on macOS
Hi all, I have set up B2B collaboration between two Microsoft 365 tenants. Each tenant has its own Teams environment and users can switch tenants inside the Teams app without any problems. Both sides would like to work in each other's Teams channels and they also want something very specific. They want OneDrive on macOS to sync both their own tenant’s files and the other tenant’s files locally in Finder. This is where things break. Everything looks correctly configured. B2B collaboration is enabled on both tenants Guest access is allowed Sharing settings are set to the least restrictive level When a user opens a SharePoint library in the other tenant and clicks Sync, the OneDrive popup shows up and macOS asks to open the OneDrive app, but then nothing happens. No new library appears in OneDrive and there is no error. My question is whether this is simply an expected limitation. Can OneDrive on macOS actually sync document libraries from a different tenant when the user is only a B2B guest? Or is this not supported? I have seen mixed information. Some people say guests cannot sync cross tenant libraries at all. Others say it only works when the team is set up as a Shared Channel. Before restructuring everything I want to confirm the real behaviour. Do I need to create a Shared Team or Shared Channel to make cross tenant file sync work in Finder? Or is the missing sync just how OneDrive behaves for B2B guests on macOS? Any real world experience would be very helpful.RSS feed blocking readers
Hey recently my RSS feeds all stopped working, like 20 days or so ago. Using Feeder and its saying the RSS feed is likely blocking bots which means its unable to query the RSS. Anyone know who to contact about that? Or an RSS reader that still works? https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/s/gxcuf89792/rss/board?board.id=IntegrationsonAzureBlog
