Re: Windows 11 needs to stop auto syncing things to OneDrive
Sorry not sure you read my post or maybe I wasn't clear... I'm talking about windows system folders. I'm talking about when Microsoft releases a big new update and tricks you into clicking continue when you dont want to enable syncing... should be my choice when i want, not as a step to get past when you install an update.Windows 11 needs to stop auto syncing things to OneDrive
I installed Windows 11, version 23h2 last night when I went to bed. When i woke up it said I needed to finish windows set up I clicked continue.. next thing I know everything is being sync'ed to OneDrive. Which I hate. It shouldn't just do this. leave my settings alone! Then of course when I turn it off, then everything is removed from my desktop, pictures, etc. now I have to go backout to onedrive and move everything back and put it how I had it. Thsi is the second time I've had to do this. I have four monitors and lots of stuff. Microsoft stop doing this.Excessive Junk Mail
I dont sign up for a lot of things. But of courses, bills, kids schools, etc. you have to sign up for some stuff. What I hate though is unscrupulous companies that as soon as you sign up for something turn around and sell your info before you can tell them not to. I think there should be a federal law that makes it so they can't sell any info (not even to their "Partners") unless you say they can. So instead of us having to opt out, we should have to opt in. Anyway. The problem is I was searching for a new insurance provider a few months ago and I got quotes from a couple places. but you have to give them your email address. Which again shouldn't be allowed. just show me on the screen and if I want to do business with you then I may give you my email address. But anyway, surprise surprise, now I'm all of a sudden getting hundreds of emails a day from spammers! Hundreds. Which makes it so when I get an email from one of my kids teachers for the first time I may miss it because I have to go through all the junk. I would think that with all this "AI" lately everywhere, it would be easy for Microsoft to now have spam filters based on AI. Spammers can spoof a lot of things like email address from, but if I can sit and go through hundreds of junk mails and pretty easily tell if soemthing is spam or not I bet the AI bots could do even better and save me the time and potentially missed good emails???? Why would microsoft not do this? Add it as a premium feature or something?? idk. But if they don't it just becomes more and mroe suspicious why Microsoft allows this to continue. We could wipe out spam tomorrow.How to create team using custom template
I went into teams admin and created a custom template from an existing team. All that looks fine. I would like to now automate the creation of teams using that template. I have played with graph and PowerShell but can't figure out how to do this? In PowerShell I'm doing: PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> New-Team -DisplayName "TestingTemplates" -Description "Team to test templates" -Visibility Private -Template "MyTemplate" Result is: New-Team : Cannot validate argument on parameter 'Template'. The argument "MyTemplate" does not belong to the set "EDU_Class,EDU_PLC" specified by the ValidateSet attribute. Supply an argument that is in the set and then try the command again. Preferably I'd like to use Microsoft Power Automate to do this. So maybe a rest command? But seems like the template command only works for edu?? I have verified my template shows up using: Get-CsTeamTemplateList Thanks, TerrySharePoint Permissions
We has a user leaving our division but still staying in the company. I would like to remove permissions across all our sites, subsites, lists, libraries, documents... for this user. What is the best way to accomplish this? We have too many sites, etc. to do it manually. I was thinking of removing the User Profile? Would that work? Thanks, TerryRe: Dev channel update to 90.0.796.0 is live
HotCakeX I have done this and it seems to have worked. The browser now launches appropriately. However, I still have the constant authentication issue going to websites. Even just coming to this forum, every time I get prompted for credentials. All day long, every where I go prompted for credentials. TerryRe: Dev channel update to 90.0.796.0 is live
After applying this update, Edge no longer would open for me instantly. A blank window opened and after a while the top bar with minimize, close buttons appears .. but title bar just says "unresponsive". I kept closing and reopening with no luck. Finally I just left it open and about 5 minutes and the "you've been upgraded" page did finally appear... and the browser worked as expected. But when I close it and open it again, the same thing happens every time. Big white blank screen for about 5 min, then finally opens. Thanks, TerryIssue with new windows opening and pop ups
I do development in Microsoft Dynamics every day using Microsoft Edge. Yesterday Edge started blocking certain things in Dynamics from opening. It gives the error that a pop up blocker blocked it, but.... I haven't changed anything, I dont have any pop up blockers installed and I dont have any other toolbars installed. I did verify that the url is allowed in the built in pop up blocker in edge. The weird thing is everything works fine in Chrome and chrome has the same exceptions as Edge. Not sure if anything new was pushed out that would be causing this but I cant think of anything else. TerryJoin now button on to do bar in outlook
I use Outlook desktop to schedule meetings in teams. I have noticed that sometimes in the to do bar to the far right in outlook, sometimes these show up with a "Join Now" button and some times nothing? I cannot figure out how to get that button to always appear to join a meeting. Thanks, TerryRe: Need help understanding
So let me ask a basic question. Let's say I want a basic header that fits the entire screen with no quicklinks on the left. That is responsive. How do I do that? Or if I want to hide all the SharePoint stuff at the top of every page... Are those things I could do easily? Do I need to develop something? Thanks, Terry
