How can you get rid of that "GO BACK" button in the upper left corner in MS Edge? It covers up almost all menu buttons on websites,

Thanks

Confusion between Gemini and Copilot

szq2014 — Sun, 28 Jun 2026 00:46:10 GMT

Microsoft Copilot and Google Gemini are sending me mixed signals on whether MAI’s Phi (Microsoft’s on-device small language models) models support LoRA adapters or any sort of community fine tuning.

Copilot is saying no, and Gemini is saying yes.

I need to talk with real Microsoft engineers to confirm with Microsoft if their Phi models support LoRA adapters or not.

Can't activate Windows 11 with a valid Windows 10 licence

Theorendil — Fri, 26 Jun 2026 11:23:10 GMT

Originally, years ago, I had a genuine Windows 8 license on a custom-built PC. When Microsoft offered the free upgrade to Windows 10 for genuine Windows 7/8 users, I used that offer, and my system upgraded to Windows 10 Professional, tied to my Microsoft account.

Since then, I've gradually replaced almost every piece of hardware — new CPU, new motherboard, new graphics card, new RAM, new power supply — over several years, but kept using the same Windows 10 Pro installation and the same Microsoft account the whole time.

A few days ago, I did a fresh, clean install of Windows 11 Professional on a brand new SSD, using that same Microsoft account.

Windows 11 installed correctly as Professional, but won't activate — I get error 0x803F7001. I believe this is because the hardware has changed enough over the years that your system isn't recognizing this as the same continuous license — it might even be showing two separate device entries under my account, one old and one current.

Hi everyone,

I’m new to this forum and I’m currently studying Business Administration. As part of my IT coursework, I’m learning how online technical forums work and how people use them to ask questions and share advice.

I’m looking forward to reading through the discussions and learning more about different technology topics.

Thanks!

ROBOCOPY and UGREEN NAS DH2300

BrynJones — Mon, 22 Jun 2026 23:34:39 GMT

I was editing data when I noticed that my Network Attached Storage (NAS) hard drives were thrashing. Technically, that is what is supposed to happen when configured to update 'real time'. I have been a long-time user of a batch file to execute ROBOCOPY. It is clean and efficient, one of the better items Microsoft has created. Go figure, right? Anyway, being who I am and what I have done in my career, I got the idea to edit in Windows on two separate NVME hard drives (much data and large files) then execute a batch file to run ROBOCOPY. This consolidated all data onto one spin-drive in my Windows PC.

The first time I did this, my DH2300 NAS was active. All configured SYNC and BACKUP tasks indicated 'BAD' and would not execute. I had to delete the NAS tasks and recreate them. After several attempts and recreations, I thought that I might shutdown the UGREEN NAS DH2300, run the Windows PC batch file for ROBOCOPY, then start the UGREEN NAS back up in order for the UGREEN NAS Client Sync & Backup app to 'do its thing'. WRONG! All tasks indicated 'BAD' again. I've made it a practice to delete the NAS Tasks after running Windows ROBOCOPY then recreating all seven NAS tasks. Only then will these properly execute.

Would anyone have any idea as to what is going on to cause this? I've asked on UGREEN's FB resource page, and they are suggesting that it is a ROBOCOPY issue (Pass-the-buck = EASY). I suppose that's possible, BUT I've used ROBOCOPY for YEARS. It skips over any unchanged file and only changes/updates files when changed. Still, I must ask.

How to remove Windows Updates

Mwakaribishwa — Fri, 19 Jun 2026 08:02:54 GMT

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?

mani0920 — Thu, 18 Jun 2026 05:50:21 GMT

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!

Looking for a way to make adult content extremely difficult to access on my Windows 11 laptop

mucp_thegreat — Wed, 17 Jun 2026 09:31:56 GMT

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?

Wed, 17 Jun 2026 09:11:50 GMT

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?

Metrics in Training Service Partner dashboard still shows not started

Hamras — Tue, 16 Jun 2026 14:50:55 GMT

our TSP was on-boarded some months before, and it has now been more than some months since we started delivering training courses. We received the welcome email, completed all required formalities, and have delivered some trainings, and learners redeemed the achievement codes, and completed the surveys in MTM. All of these sessions appear correctly in, MTM surveys, and related dashboards.

However, in Partner Center it still shows “Not Started.”

Could you guys please review this and help us understand why the status has not updated?

Thank you,
