M365 Copilot Chat Works for Cloud-Only Students, Not for AD-Synced Accounts
I want to make M365 Copilot Chat accessible for our students (13+), and according to this article, I have prepared everything: My tenant is correctly classified as K12. The student account has the attribute ageGroup set to NotAdult in Entra ID. Unfortunately, this only works with student accounts that are cloud-only. When I synchronize a student from the on-premises AD to Entra ID and set the ageGroup attribute to NotAdult in Entra ID, access to Copilot Chat does not work. Any ideas?
Windows doesn't let me uninstall edge completely. There is only an option to restore it.
I bought a new computer this week. And as everyone should, i first went to try to uninstall edge. It appears that now windows doesn't even provide an option to do that. For now I have found and forcefully removed the internal files where edge was located but it is still shown in the app menu. Is there a way to completely eradicate it from my computer? Some sites say that it can't be removed because it is necessary for the OS and integrated into it. Yet i see no reason why that would be relevant. I am not using any microsoft apps (and not planning on using any in the future ) so it shouldn't be required by any programs i use. Though i still have EdgeWebView installed seperately just in case. So for short: I have uninstalled Edge's files and it does not cause me any problems but it is still visible on the App Menu and i want it to be completely gone.
Unified Company Calendar for Mixed Microsoft 365 and Non-365 Users – 2025
Seeking a Shared Calendar Solution for Mixed Microsoft 365 and Non-365 Users I’m working on a solution to create a shared company calendar that everyone in our organization can view, while keeping editing permissions limited to a few selected individuals. The challenge: Some of our team members do not use Microsoft 365, and I’d like them to still be able to subscribe to or view the calendar and receive updates. Ideally, this should work without requiring full Microsoft accounts. I initially considered using an ICS-based calendar, but it seems Microsoft 365 Group calendars don’t support sharing via ICS links. I also explored creating a Group calendar as suggested in other threads, but ran into issues making it accessible to external users or those without 365 accounts. For context, I’m a Global Admin, so I have full access to configure settings in the Microsoft 365 Admin Center and Exchange if needed. We’re a small business, and our main goal is to have a centralized calendar for vacation schedules and company-wide events. It should be simple to access and maintain, with a focus on collaboration and accessibility across the board. What I’m looking for: A calendar that’s viewable by all, including non-M365 users Editable only by a few delegated team members Compatible with Microsoft 365, but not dependent on it for basic access Any tools, workarounds, or best practices that have worked for others in similar hybrid environmentsNetwork & OneDrive block
I have a problem with networking my Desktop PC (Windows 11 Home v.10.0.26200) and my Laptop (Windows 11 Professional , also v10.0.26200). They are connected by a 2m ethernet cable and have connection lights flashing at both ends. 1. On the Desktop, Explorer will show folders from the Laptop under <Network>. However any attempt to open one of the displayed folders results in the message “Windows Cannot access \\*. You do not have permission to access \\*. Contact your network administrator to request Access” While drives and folders on the Laptop that HAVE been set to Share do NOT show up 2. On the Laptop, when I open the <Network> in Explorer it ONLY shows a drive named <Music>. Any attempt to open this folder results in a Windows Security window asking for Username and Password. I believe this folder is a left over from a much earlier attempt to link the two computers in Windows 10 which was aborted, and I suspect it is causing a ‘block’ on the network, as there are no drives or folders named <Music> on my Desktop machine. 3. I have run OneDrive on the Laptop and have created an account in the cloud and added folders. However it has proved impossible to get OneDrive to run on the Desktop. Every attempt (including uninstalling One Drive using Revo uninstaller – which also removes all ‘left-overs’ - and then installing the latest downloaded copy of OneDrive) produces an icon in the apps list, but when I attempt to run it (double click) nothing happens. I have traced the .exe file to "C:\Program Files\Microsoft OneDrive\OneDrive.exe" but attempting to run it from there, even as an Administrator, fails to produce any reaction from the PC. My problem obviously resides with the Desktop PC and is effecting both the ability to network, and run OneDrive. I suspect the non-existent <Music> may be the culprit, but how to remove it? If I right click the icon on the Laptop I get a window showing the location as being on the \\ Desktop and size as being 0 bytes – but nothing more. Selecting the <Network> tab in the window produces an error message “You do not have the appropriate access rights for this server. For more information, contact your network administrator” Attempts to delete the phantom drive, even using Revo Uninstaller have proved unsuccessful while attempting to run <Remote Desktop Connection> from the Laptop have proved to be equally futile (“Remote Desktop can’t connect to the remote computer for one of these reasons. 1,2,3 etc.). How can I get rid of the phantom <Music> drive? and if this has nothing to do with my problem, what else might be the cause that prevents OneDrive from running on the Desktop and the failure to network with the Laptop?I need Help because Windows Restore Point is eating 20 gigabytes
Recently i RESTORED my windows 11 to a previous point, But i noticed i lost 20 GIGABYTES and i already deleted all restore points but still the 20 gigabytes is missing... I know its stored in some folder to revert/undo the restauration point back to where it was previously. HOW DO I DELETE IT TO GET BACK THE LOST 20 GIGABYTES? THANKS.
Clipboard History does not recognize the Delete key on Windows 11
I recently moved to Windows 11 (installed from scratch), and as soon as it was ready I activated the Clipboard History with the Win+V shortcut, since I really liked this feature on Windows 10. But after a short while I noticed the Windows 11 Clipboard History does not recognize the Delete key anymore. On Windows 10 this works: - Invoke the Clipboard History with Win+V - Scroll to the entry you want to delete with your arrow keys - Hit Delete on your keyboard and that entry will be removed from the history. Clipboard History remains open so you can repeat this for as many entries as you like. On Windows 11: - Invoke the Clipboard History with Win+V - Scroll to the entry you want to delete with your arrow keys - Hit Delete on your keyboard, then the Clipboard History closes with no error or message. If you invoke the Clipboard History again, the entry is still there. So apparently there are only two options on Windows 11 now, use the "Clear all" button to remove all the entries from the history. Or click the 3 dots next to each entry you want to remove and then click Delete, which is... annoying if compared to Windows 10. Is there a way to make the Delete key work again?
'Show Recently Used Files' unchecks itself after saving settings.
Hello, I am trying to view recently used files on my computer, and I have found that if I go to file explorer, click on the ellipses, select options, and check the 'Show recently used files' box inside of the general tab, the box will uncheck itself after I click 'Apply' and close the options window. Looking more into this, I have also noticed that my Activity History is completely blank, even though I have 'Store my activity history on this device' set to on. Not sure if related, but I have looked everywhere to see if there was a fix for this, and am coming up empty handed. Any Ideas?
