Removing graphics performance overlay
Hi, all: My machine has what appears to be a video card performance overlay in the upper right hand corner. It looks like this: Problem is, I can't figure out how to remove it. I don't know if it's a Microsoft overlay, an NVIDIA overlay or what it is -- all I know is it's interfering with the top right of all my applications and it's driving me crazy. Any ideas? Thank you in advance!
User profile
It used to be possible to click on a user's icon and find out a little bit about them, including their profile, if they wrote one. Now, the only profile I can see is my own, and I can only see that when I'm logged in. What good is a profile if only the user can see it? Maybe I'm missing a setting someplace. John
Help with "transfer your files and settings to new PC"
We just got a new Windows 11 PC and we want to transfer the files and settings from a Windows 10 PC. I didn't notice that upon setup of the new PC I had to select the fact that I wanted to transfer files and settings before actually tried to make the transfer from the backup app. So now when I select "transfer to new PC" it gives me the name of the old computer and tells me to enter that into the new computer. However, I can't see how or where to enter it. It seems like I might need to start the setup process again on the new computer and enter the fact that I was going to transfer files to that computer. How can I do that?
Issues Testing Azure Stack HCI on Hyper-V (Single Node) – Onboarding and Azure Arc Integration
i am currently testing azure stack hci in our company environment. i have downloaded the latest version of azure stack hci and deployed it on a single-node hyper-v vm setup for evaluation. while i can access the local azure stack hci portal, i am facing several issues when trying to onboard the host into the azure portal. challenges i am facing: i am running azure stack hci on hyper-v manager with only one node (lab environment). could this be a limitation for azure portal onboarding? even though i downloaded the latest azure stack hci build, the local portal shows the host as "not eligible." i am not sure why this is happening. i tried to push two simple vms to azure arc/local using scripts, but i received an error that hyper-v components are not running, even though hyper-v is active. i also ran into an issue with windows admin center because my subscription is not pay-as-you-go. is this a blocker for testing scenarios? my questions: is it possible to push vms into azure arc (or manage them locally) in this single-node hyper-v test environment? can this be done using infrastructure as code with terraform and powershell, even without the original azure stack hci hardware? what are the best practices for testing azure stack hci in a lab or non-production setup without purchasing physical nodes? any guidance, examples, or workarounds would be greatly appreciated. our company is exploring azure hci, but we want to validate the setup in a lab before considering hardware purchases.
win 11 24H2 network credentials
I would like to connect my home machine and my laptop so i can share files. The PC is connected to router by ethernet and the laptop is using WIFI. I receive the notification that i have to enter network credentials to accomplish this. I have posed the question about credentials on the web (chrome) only to find out that all the information provided doesn't apply to my version of Win 11 (outdated). Is it possible to connect the two? would save me time as i am now using a thumb drive or One Drive to transfer files. i am sensing the network credential issue only applies to WIFI from what I have read so far. I am self-taught in computer operations, only learning what I need to solve an issue. I would appreciate any help on this issue. Thanks, John
Need to create .pst file from Outlook 2010
Outlook 2010 Old computer has Windows 10 and Office 2016 and Outlook 2010 On 9-7-25 Outlook would no longer send or receive emails. I cannot print emails but I can read them and view any attachments and see all my “Contacts”. I tried to back up the “.pst” file to “Import” it into the new 2024 Outlook. When I select “Open” and “Import” the screen states “Not Implemented”. In reading queries in Google I found this was a problem experienced by many users. I have also run the repair function (scanpst.exe.) for Outlook 2010 on the old computer. It found errors and made the repair. After restarting the old computer I am still unable to back up the “.pst” file. There is 17 GB still free on the old “C” drive. I have built a new computer and downloaded and installed Window 11 Home. I have installed 2024 Office Home and Business which has Word, Excel, Power Point and Outlook. (Perpetual License) My old version of Outlook 2010 and activation key was destroyed with my household contents in a flood from hurricane Debby last year. Can MS provide a version and key for a newer Outlook that I can download\install so that I can backup the “.pst” file from the old computer or any other possible solution? I will only need use of it to make the “.pst” file for emails and contacts for the new Outlook 2024.
Content Not Published
Sometimes I get a Content Not Published error so I can't publish my post, and I can't tell why. Content Not Published Your post contains invalid HTML. Remove the following invalid tags before publishing: a, a (data-bi-type), div, li-image, li-table, li-tcols, li-td, li-tsection Most recently, it appeared when I tried to edit spoiler titles where I had two images inside two spoilers (same as you see here), after I had already published the post. I was trying to edit the post. But it would not take it the second time around. I think it has something to do with elements used by the rich text editor. I made the changes by deleting both spoilers and both images, saving the post, refreshing, editing again, adding the spoilers and images back in and saving again. It's very annoying and frustrating like that. It's not a validation error, like when you add a link and it complains about it. It says the post contains invalid HTML.Is it possible to request deletion of an old account?
I have an old tech community profile out there that was associated with a previous employer’s email address, and I’d like to have that profile deleted. Obviously I no longer have access to the email address the profile is linked to, so I can’t sign in and delete it myself. Is it possible to submit a request with the profile URL and the email address it was tied to and have someone on the Microsoft side process that deletion?Switching Tenants/Profiles in Office for the Mac
I have accounts in multiple M365 tenants. I use a Mac. When I edit a document, I need to make sure the edits are occurring from the account in the correct tenant. I cannot figure out how to change my active account in Word (or other Office applications) so it is from a specific tenant. How do I do this? I know how to do it on a PC, and it works perfectly. I NEED that same functionality on the Mac.
