Can not add-in endnote

Amber1 — Thu, 13 Aug 2026 09:00:38 GMT

For the past few days, I have been unable to use Microsoft Word reliably because the application keeps freezing.

I contacted your Microsoft support team, and the issue was reportedly resolved by updating my registry.

After this, I noticed that I’m no longer able to use the EndNote add-in / “Cite While You Write” functionality. I upgraded my EndNote to the latest version, but I still cannot configure it in Word. When I attempt to set it up, I receive the message stating that “the current Word is not supported for EndNote.”

Could you please advise on how to fix this? If the registry update may have affected Word’s add-in compatibility, I would also appreciate guidance on what needs to be changed to restore EndNote support.

Thank you for your help.

Windows Server Replacement Folder redirection policy won't apply

angieonthehelpdesk — Wed, 12 Aug 2026 12:31:17 GMT

Good morning! We are hoping someone in the community can guide us in the right direction. We have scoured the internet looking for a solution and nothing we have tried works.

We have a windows server that we set up a very basic folder redirection policy on. We added a user to the OU associated with it, and it worked flawlessly. The user’s account mapped the folders to the correct location and was able to save data.

We then wanted to use a different folder, so we created a second policy identical to the first, but pointing to a different root folder. We applied the group policy to the server, then moved the user from the original OU to the new OU.

The original redirection policy disassociated, but the new one will not apply. We simply get an error message in gpresult that states “Cannot complete this function”.

We have duplicated this in a live environment and a lab environment, so it seems clear that it is something that we are doing wrong or not understanding about how this is supposed to work.

Has anyone run into this\have any guidance for us? Is our expectation of how this should work unrealistic? Our expectation is that the old policy will be removed and the new policy with the new folder would then apply.

Thanks very much.

Copilot image generation now shows "Made with AI"

GaryGoGoGo — Sun, 09 Aug 2026 19:30:09 GMT

At some point in the last few weeks, image generation with Copilot in Edge was changed to include a little oval with the text "Made with AI". This is very annoying. The oval is usually within the rectangle of the image content (cannot be cropped out) and often on a gradient color area (not a solid color that can be erased). I don't mind using disclaimers that my images were AI-generated, but I don't want the image itself to be plastered with extra content. Copilot says this cannot be eliminated. Copilot "says" that it can move the oval above or below the content, but it either does not properly do that, or it puts the whole image inside a solid background. This oval makes the images practically unusable in documents due to the need to hack out the oval. Copilot says this is for "transparency", but the transparency of my work is not Microsoft's problem.

Microsoft Sentinel UEBA – AWS CloudTrail data source fails to connect with HTTP 500

abeniwal73 — Sat, 08 Aug 2026 11:00:37 GMT

Hi everyone,

I am currently testing the newer UEBA capabilities in Microsoft Sentinel through the Microsoft Defender Unified SecOps portal and I am facing an issue while trying to enable AWS CloudTrail as a UEBA data source. I wanted to share the troubleshooting steps I have already completed in case anyone has seen something similar.

1. Verified AWS CloudTrail ingestion

AWS CloudTrail is already connected to Microsoft Sentinel and the AWSCloudTrail table is receiving data normally. There is no issue with the AWS connector or the existing log ingestion.

2. Verified the CloudTrail data

I checked the CloudTrail data specifically for the events used by UEBA.

The required ConsoleLogin events are present, with:

- EventSource = signin.amazonaws.com

- UserIdentityPrincipalId populated for the majority of events

- Other relevant identity and source information available

So the source data appears to meet the documented AWS CloudTrail UEBA requirements.

3. Verified permissions

The required Microsoft Entra and Azure RBAC permissions were checked. The user also has permission to perform the Sentinel UEBA settings update.

Other UEBA data sources have already been enabled successfully from the same environment.

4. Checked resource locks and other settings

The Sentinel workspace was checked for Azure resource locks and none were found.

The UEBA anomaly detection setting is also enabled.

5. Checked the backend operation

When AWS CloudTrail is selected from the UEBA settings and I try to connect it, the operation fails with:

InternalServerError – HTTP 500

The Azure Activity Log shows the operation as:

Microsoft.SecurityInsights/settings/write

with the final status:

Failed – InternalServerError (HTTP Status Code: 500)

There is no AuthorizationFailed or RequestDisallowedByPolicy error.

6. Tested the API directly

I also checked the current UEBA configuration through the Microsoft SecurityInsights API. The GET request works and returns the existing UEBA configuration.

As an additional test, I attempted to update the same existing UEBA configuration without adding AWS CloudTrail. That update also returned HTTP 500.

This makes me think the issue may not be related specifically to AWS CloudTrail or the AWS data itself, but potentially to the UEBA settings update or backend service.

My questions

Has anyone recently experienced UEBA settings returning HTTP 500 when updating data sources, particularly in the new Microsoft Defender/Unified SecOps portal?
If anyone from the Microsoft Sentinel team can confirm whether there is a known issue or additional prerequisite for enabling AWS CloudTrail UEBA, that would be very helpful.

Thanks.

Community Hubs page frequently blank

Building Production-Ready Pipelines in Azure DevOps: Beyond the Documentation Examples

AbdullahShahid984 — Mon, 03 Aug 2026 15:27:44 GMT

Hi everyone,

When moving from basic Azure DevOps tutorials to enterprise production environments, we all quickly realize that documentation examples don't always cover real-world complexities. Handling multi-stage dependencies, keeping Terraform state secure, and managing secrets across environments requires a highly strategic approach.

To help DevOps engineers bridge this gap, I recently put together a deep-dive architecture breakdown detailing how to build a resilient, multi-stage YAML pipeline from scratch.

Here is a quick look at the core enterprise architecture I focus on:

- Multi-Stage Lifecycle: Safe progression flows through Build, Dev, QA, UAT, and Production stages.

- Infrastructure Automation: Clean integration with Terraform, including state and secrets management using Azure Key Vault.

- Security Gates: Implementation of SAST scanning, Workload Identity, and automated approval policies.

- Team Alignment: Connecting Azure DevOps with project tools like Asana to streamline cross-platform tracking.

I wanted to share this pattern here to get some community feedback on the YAML structure.

Before I post the full configuration snippets, I would love to hear how your teams handle environment gates and approvals. What are the biggest bottlenecks you run into with multi-stage YAML pipelines? Let's discuss in the comments below!

Best regards,

Abdullah Shahid

Locked out of Microsoft 365 Admin Account

Cefak — Mon, 03 Aug 2026 08:22:01 GMT

Hello,

until recently, logging into our admin account always worked without any problems. Now, however, in addition to the password, we’re always being asked for an MFA code that’s supposedly been sent to the Microsoft Authenticator app. Neither I nor my colleagues are aware that we ever set up MFA authentication. Consequently, we don’t have an MFA code to enter.

This concerns the global administrator account. None of our other users can reset it.

I’ve already called Microsoft Support about this, but I’m only connected to an AI that, on several calls, kept hanging up after a while.

Can anyone help me with this problem?

365 overwriting office 2024 activation credentials

terencesumpter — Sun, 02 Aug 2026 15:23:54 GMT

I have a pre-installed 2024 Office pro on my PC, recently outlook(classic) was being problematic whereby the usual fixes were not working, consequently did the longer MS fix on line which was successful, however, now I come to use word, excel etc and am advised only have 2 days left on free trial of 365 ( I have never used or signed up for 365 nor do I wish to), I have signed out of my account, signed back in restarted etc etc all to no avail. In my account it tells me 'awaiting activation'. As this was pre-installed I do not have an activation code, I wonder if anyone has come across this issue and a remedy for it - any advice much appreciated - Terry

Venting about all the security features blocking my own local apps

GaryGoGoGo — Sat, 01 Aug 2026 22:09:05 GMT

I have Windows 11 Pro with a new laptop (a good brand with 32GB RAM). (I wanted a Surface, but way too expensive.) I am a retired .NET developer and I still code at home. I have a few personal apps that are run from task scheduler. Getting a laptop to start an app from the task scheduler in the middle of the night is a whole other discussion (laptops prefer not to stay in a state that task scheduler can wake from).

But let's say I have apps that upload files to my personal web site. I have needed to:

add firewall rules for the apps in whatever folders they run from;
add Windows Security exceptions for the EXEs and folders;
move the EXEs to folders under Program Files because Device Guard otherwise blocks them (I don't want to bother with signing the apps), and trust me when I say you don't want to try to disable Device Guard, and there is no way to add exceptions to Device Guard;
wonder why aka.ms/myrecoverykey has been messed up for days;
adjust Visual Studio Debug settings to refer to the Program Files locations;
log extensively from my apps because I never know what new Windows feature will block them, and watch obscure event logs such as CodeIntegrity;
constantly update third-party modules (Nuget, etc.).

Yeesh, I just want to post a message of the day on my own web site.

Looking for Guidance: Improving Playwright MCP Runbook Replay Reliability

shobhit-vishwakarma — Fri, 31 Jul 2026 12:28:58 GMT

Hi everyone,

We are building an AI-powered browser automation agent using Playwright MCP, and we have implemented a runbook/replay mechanism to reduce repeated reasoning and improve navigation performance.

Current Architecture

Our setup currently looks like this:

AI Agent (Client) – Hosted on Azure Container Apps
Playwright MCP Server – Hosted on Azure Container Apps
Chrome Extension – Running in the user's browser

The Chrome Extension maintains a webhook connection with the Playwright MCP relay/server.

The MCP server generates Chrome DevTools Protocol (CDP) commands, which are executed by the Chrome Extension in the user's browser.

Runbook Functionality

When the agent needs to navigate to a particular page, it normally performs multiple browser actions such as:

browser_navigate
browser_snapshot
browser_click
browser_type
Other Playwright MCP tools

During the first successful execution, we record the tool calls and their parameters used by the agent to reach the desired page. We store these actions as a runbook.

For subsequent requests requiring navigation to the same destination, instead of asking the AI agent to reason through the navigation steps again, we directly replay the stored runbook.

First execution

User Request ↓ Agent Reasoning ↓ MCP Tools ↓ Browser ↓ Desired Page

Example recorded sequence:

browser_navigate → browser_snapshot → browser_click → browser_snapshot → browser_type ...

Subsequent execution

User Request ↓ Runbook Replay ↓ MCP Tools ↓ Browser ↓ Desired Page

This significantly reduces latency, token usage, and unnecessary LLM reasoning.

Example Runbook Step

{ "tool": "browser_click", "args": { "target": "e140", "element": "Earn credentials link" }, "a11y": { "role": "link", "name": "Earn credentials", "index": 0, "text": "Earn credentials", "textIndex": 0, "path": "generic/list/listitem/article/generic/generic", "url": "https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/" }, "pageUrl": "https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/", "timestamp": "2026-07-30T10:24:04.374Z" }

For each recorded action, we persist information such as:

MCP tool name
Tool parameters
Snapshot reference
Accessibility role
Accessibility name
Element text
Element index
Text index
Accessibility-tree path
Page URL
Other relevant metadata

The Problem

The main challenge is runbook replay reliability.

A runbook contains references obtained from a previous browser_snapshot. During replay, the page may have:

Slightly different DOM structure
Timing differences
Dynamic content
Accessibility-tree changes

As a result, a previously recorded snapshot reference may no longer match the current page.

For example, a recorded action may effectively be:

browser_click(ref="some_snapshot_ref")

During replay, that reference may no longer exist or may resolve to a different element because the current snapshot has changed.

This causes intermittent failures in operations such as:

browser_click
browser_type
Other element interactions

Current Status

We have improved the replay mechanism and currently achieve approximately 90% replay success.

The remaining ~10% failures are difficult because they are often nondeterministic. The same runbook can succeed or fail depending on the current browser or page state.

Questions

We would appreciate advice from anyone with experience using Playwright MCP or building production browser automation systems.

What is the recommended way to make Playwright MCP tool calls more resilient to changes in snapshot or accessibility-tree references?
Is relying on snapshot ref values fundamentally unreliable for replay? Should we instead store a different representation of the target element?
If so, what additional information would you recommend storing for each interaction?
What is the best strategy for re-resolving an element when the original snapshot reference is no longer valid instead of failing the entire runbook?
Are there Playwright MCP capabilities or recommended patterns that specifically address dynamic pages and changing accessibility trees?
For a production-grade browser automation agent, what architecture or strategy would you recommend to achieve >99% replay reliability?

Our goal is not to eliminate dynamic behavior from websites, but to make the runbook intelligent enough to recover when previously recorded element references become invalid.

Any architectural recommendations, implementation patterns, or examples from production systems would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Playwright MCP browser context is lost after 8-12 minutes of idle time.

shobhit-vishwakarma — Fri, 31 Jul 2026 07:00:50 GMT

Hi Everyone,

I'm building an AI agent that uses Playwright MCP to control a browser, and I'm running into an issue where the browser context is lost after the agent remains idle for a while.

Architecture

My current setup looks like this:

AI Agent (Client) hosted on Azure Container Apps
Playwright MCP Server hosted on Azure Container Apps
Chrome Extension running in the user's browser
The extension maintains a webhook connection to the Playwright MCP relay/server.
The MCP server generates Chrome DevTools Protocol (CDP) commands, which are executed by the Chrome Extension in the user's browser.

This allows the browser to continue running on the user's machine while the agent and MCP server are hosted remotely.

Issue

Everything works as expected while the agent is actively interacting with the browser.

However, if the agent stays idle for around 8–12 minutes, the next request fails with an agent response that the browser context is lost (or the context/browser is no longer available).

If I ask the agent to retry, it invokes the browser_close tool and creates a new browser session. While this allows execution to continue, it completely loses the previous browser state, including:

Current page
Navigation history
Login/session state tied to that browser context
Any work already completed in the existing session

Ideally, I want the existing browser session and context to remain usable even after periods of inactivity.

Questions

Is there any idle timeout in Playwright MCP or its browser context management that could explain this behavior?
Could this be related to the CDP connection between the Chrome Extension and the MCP server being dropped after inactivity?
Are there recommended keep-alive or heartbeat mechanisms for long-lived browser sessions?
Has anyone successfully maintained browser contexts for extended idle periods (30+ minutes or longer)?
Is there a recommended pattern for reconnecting to an existing browser context instead of creating a new one when the connection is interrupted?

Environment

Playwright MCP Server hosted on Azure Container Apps
AI Agent hosted on Azure Container Apps
Chrome Extension executing CDP commands in the user's local Chrome browser
Communication between the agent, MCP server, and extension over the network

I'd appreciate any guidance on where to investigate this issue or best practices for maintaining persistent browser contexts in this kind of architecture. If anyone has encountered a similar problem, I'd be interested in hearing how you resolved it.

Thanks in advance!

Unable to follow the Viva Glint Blog

VK_Sym — Tue, 28 Jul 2026 22:30:41 GMT

This post was originally submitted as a question in MS Learn on July 2 and I was advised to move it to the tech community.

Hi MS team,

I continue to click "Follow" on the Viva Glint blog to ensure I receive release updates but then get automatically set to not follow. https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/category/Viva-Glint

For the second time, I am being automatically set to not follow. I checked with my admin team (there are 4 of us) and this is not an individual/isolated incident. They are also being automatically set to unfollow the Viva Glint blog. Please see screenshots attached from myself and my manager. We should be seeing the button as "Unfollow" indicating that we are following, instead it is showing "Follow" indicating that we are not following.

I have opened an MS ticket about this already and was directed to contact the Microsoft Tech Community platform team. I followed the Glint blog back on 4/9/2026 and then was set to unfollow. I followed again at the beginning of June (maybe on 6/4/2026) and I was set to unfollow again. I did receive one "Microsoft Community Hub Weekly Digest" email on 6/7/2026 so I must have still been following then but I have not received any communications before or after.

Can you please provide an explanation and a solution? We need to receive email notifications about updates and releases. Following the blog should be a reliable process. As of today, 7/28/2026, I am still following the Glint blog which is great but how do I know I won't be automatically set to "unfollow" a third time?
