Microsoft Edge Webview icon
I'm I in the right community? My Widgets Icon on my toolbar doesn't open even with the Widgets turned on in the settings. Could you help me? I am the administrator. I have the Edition Windows 11 Home Version, 23H2, with a Windows Feature Experience Pack. I have Windows 11 software and has been updated recently. Everything under Task Manager, details, mswebview.exe is running, however, the window doesn't appear on the home screen. Could this be an easy fix? TIA Joseph
Shared OneDrive for Charity Management Team
We are a small charity running a Village Hall in the UK. A few of the trustees form a Business Team that run the hall day to day. All of these have Office 365 personal or family subscriptions to use word outlook etc on their own laptops. The charity itself has Office 365 Business Basic Grant subscription. This give us Exchange email, OneDrive, Teams and SharePoint plus a few other bits. We currently store all our charity documentation on a free 15Gb OneDrive dating back to SkyDrive when first adopted. Each member of the team has their own charity Microsoft account and email e.g. email address removed for privacy reasons or email address removed for privacy reasons etc, etc. I want to migrate this data onto an Office 365 Business OneDrive that is shared with this Business Team Here's the rub. As most users have a personal subscription and data saved on their own OneDrive keeping the two separate is problematic. Because Microsoft credentials are so tightly integrated between the OS and Office if they try and sign in to the existing OneDrive it takes them to their own private OneDrive. To work around this they have to use an Incognito browser session in order to log in. I am aware you can create a shared OneDrive for teams as described https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/office/create-a-new-shared-library-from-onedrive-for-work-or-school-345c8599-05d8-4bf8-9355-2b5cfabe04d0 which should allow them to access this OneDrive by using their own credentials as above (email address removed for privacy reasons etc) but if they log in to this shared OneDrive once, and on the prompt that comes up at log in select "Stay logged in", can they keep visiting the site without logging in again and will they then have to use an incognito browser session to access their own personal OneDrive? Sorry this is so complicated but its been a nightmare trying to keep this working Many thanks JohnWindows 11 that causes severe eye strain and headaches
Hello, I am reporting a serious display-related issue in Windows 11 that causes severe eye strain and headaches and makes the OS unusable for me and a few other people. We migrated the entire company, 300 people, from Windows 10 to Windows 11 due to security requirements, but now about 30 employees are suffering from headaches. Since switching from Windows 10 to Windows 11, I experience strong headaches and visual discomfort even during short sessions and even when simply looking at the desktop with no active workload. This issue is consistent and reproducible. Based on extensive testing, I suspect Windows 11 applies forced temporal dithering or other frame-to-frame color modulation at the OS / DWM / graphics pipeline level, even when using a native 8-bit display. System configuration: Native 8-bit IPS monitor (not 6-bit + FRC) NVIDIA GPU HDR fully disabled (Windows, driver, and monitor) Tested via DisplayPort and HDMI Multiple refresh rates and timings tested Troubleshooting steps already performed: Clean installation of multiple NVIDIA drivers (Game Ready and Studio, DDU used) Explicitly set 8 bpc color depth Tested RGB and YCbCr output formats Disabled G-SYNC / VRR at both driver and monitor levels Disabled MPO (Multiplane Overlay) via registry Reset NVIDIA Control Panel to defaults Removed all custom ICC profiles and reverted to default sRGB Disabled Night Light, blue light filters, and all adaptive color features Tested different brightness levels and fully disabled monitor post-processing Tested multiple scaling settings (100–150%) Tested different resolutions and timing standards (CVT / CVT-RB) Tested output via integrated GPU (where available) Key observation: With the exact same hardware, cables, monitor, and settings, Windows 10 does not cause these symptoms. The problem appears only on Windows 11, which strongly suggests a change in the Windows 11 graphics pipeline, DWM behavior, or color management. This is not a subjective preference issue but a health-related problem. Questions: Is there any supported or undocumented way to fully disable THIS in Windows 11? If not, then are there plans to provide explicit user control over color modulation in future Windows versions, given that this behavior causes severe eye strain and headaches for some users? I would appreciate a response from a technical specialist familiar with Windows graphics, DWM, and display output behavior.
Windows freezes when booting
Recently, i decided to switch from windows 10 to windows 11. I went with a new C drive too (3rd gen m.2, motherboard mounted), which i made sure was clean before installation. Many problems have developed since. The system itself is not sluggish, but takes long to start up. When it goes into stand-by mode due to inactivity, it needs a reset in order to register anything again. It also does not immediately detect new drives, only once the system has been reset. Furthermore, currently the system freezes when starting up. If i choose the C drive, it states it has no operating system. If i choose the boot manager on the same drive, it goes into the automatic system repair tool. otherwise it freezes. From there i went into safe mode, tried repairing it with recommended commands but no internal errors were found to begin with. This is on a custom build, with a processor that windows 11 does support. I tried resetting BIOS, incase this was a hardware issue instead, but no luck there either. is it better for me to reinstall windows altogether, or is there a solution i missed?Can't Sign in to anything with my Microsoft account
After the last update or so, I can't sign in to the Microsoft store or the Xbox app or the settings. There is no error code or anything, it just flashes the sign in page and disappear. In the store I get the error "We encountered an error. Please try signing in again later." and that's all. I tried all sorts of thing like resetting and repairing the Microsoft store and Xbox app, but those did nothing. i tried these commands "sfc /scannowsfc /scannow" and "Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth" but still nothing. Does anyone have the same error or knows a fix, please let me know. Thanks
Windows 11 account issues: lock screen skipped, device not showing in Microsoft account
Hi everyone, I’m facing a few strange issues on Windows 11 that seem to be limited only to my main user profile, and I’m hoping to fix them without creating a new profile and migrating all my data. Settings > Apps > Advanced app settings: I see a sign-in-related issue & an error code 0x80860010. The lock screen is skipped when the PC starts. On power-on or restart, the lock screen flashes for a split second, and then Windows directly goes to the PIN entry screen. This happens only on my main user account. If I create a new local or Microsoft account, the lock screen works perfectly even after a restart or cold boot. My Windows PC does not appear under Devices on my Microsoft account page, even though the PC is signed in with my Microsoft account locally. I’ve already tried restarting, signing out and back into my Microsoft account, checking sign-in options, and testing Fast Startup on and off. Since everything works fine on newly created accounts, I believe my existing user profile or account state may be corrupted. I’m trying to avoid creating a new profile and manually migrating data if possible. Any guidance on repairing the current user profile, re-linking the device to my Microsoft account, or restoring normal lock screen behavior would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for any help. ~GouravBackup and restore the Azure Database for MySQL flexible server
Hi everyone, I’m running into an issue while performing a geo-restore for an Azure MySQL Flexible Server using Azure CLI and Portal. When executing the az mysql flexible-server geo-restore command, the restore process fails with the error “InvalidAdminLoginPassword: The AdministratorLoginPassword cannot be empty or null”. I don’t see any administrator password configuration option in the Azure Portal, and there is also no auto-populated argument in the CLI. According to the official documentation, geo-restore uses the source server as the restore point, so the administrator login configuration is expected to be derived from the source server. Are there any recommended best practices for handling admin credentials securely during geo-restore? Thanks in advance for your insights. I used this official doc as a reference, https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/mysql/flexible-server/how-to-restore-server-portal
