Re: Windows 365 disconnects on lock, possible to change timeout?
Since the local client calling the remote session can pass in credentials (SSO), can it also be made to pass in client system state, that is, that the local client's session is still active? It does not make sense to disconnect the remote host session when the client is still busy. It is not only annoying having to re-open the remote session when needed, but in the very process of disconnecting, the impact of the uncontrolled process changing a whole screen visually, distracts enormously from anything else I am concentrating on, in the main client computer. This has GOT to stop!946Views1like0CommentsRe: OneDrive date modified without changing the file
I too believe that Microsoft have become too cavalier with dates on files. Dates are an essential part of the data set, and I consider that when read-only was intended and actioned, then having the system changing the modified date is a corruption of essential data. There should be a separate accessed date, perhaps, with defined actions that trigger its change, and modified date should strictly not change if the content is not modified. I find myself saying 'should' a lot these days.631Views0likes0CommentsRe: Windows 11 Explorer: can't order quick access items in the left pane
Changing navigator options, on or off, any combination, does not work for me. This is not about pinned items but about the top-level nodes including 'Home' which are not movable (even though a bar appears when trying to move it). 'Home' is not at the top in my navigator, a 3rd party app is. I just want to put 'Home' back on top.982Views0likes0CommentsRe: Delete button - hide in outlook
In Old Outlook (which is our preferred platform) there is no control of the Delete button, it is not in the quick steps or quick actions to manage. It is fixed, not controllable. Poor placement and invisible until accidentally pressed! horrible by design. New outlook is avoided by most users.14KViews1like0CommentsRe: OneDrive date modified without changing the file
In your local sync'd OneDrive files, select file, hold Shift + RightClick, Open as Read-Only. Has worked well for me, so far, without file or folder changing modified date, so long as I only read and close the document. Online OneDrive, I use the document menu, Preview - works as Read-Only. These features mean that I don't have to change any headings or OneDrive settings. EDIT - wanted to emphasize - when Shift + RightClick, Open as Read-Only, the file opens in Word (etc) with the AutoSave off. This allows to safely save as a copy of the document without damaging the date of the primary document.31KViews0likes0CommentsRe: OneDrive is stuck - Autosave is off - several colleagues
Maybe it went away, maybe it came back, but OneDrive with M365 enterprise on Win11 - files online and same file on PC, both not talking to each other. Local editor working with online file only. When I try to open local of same file in local editor, autosave is off and the file changes its name, I have to save as another. Cannot get them to both work together. A lot of pending shortcut files in a huge heap that my company shoved from network share into OneDrive online, has made sync grind to a halt/pending a lot but it is auto-synced, cannot turn it off. Reset did not fix it.1.2KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Windows 11 Feature Requests
There is no feedback hub on my enterprise Windows 11, and no Microsoft store. It has all been blocked. There NEEDS TO BE ANOTHER WAY to send feedback!!! My tec people are too busy to bother with improving Microsoft products, even things that impact productivity or accessibility. Microsoft, to understand and make another forum for feedback.1.3KViews0likes2CommentsRe: Windows 11 Explorer: can't order quick access items in the left pane
It seemed not to work for me, because I was trying to re-order the main icon levels - we have a Konnekt.io add-in that adds another node at the top, before Home. Wanted to be able to change at this level: Konnekt, Home, This PC, Network; to put Home above Konnekt. Anyway, once I understood that the scope that I could re-order icons was within Home only, then it worked as njerisanyu said.3.3KViews1like0CommentsRe: Feature request: plan my day the night before
My Day is a specific bucket separate from due date, and there needs to be another bucket for My Tomorrow. Items with due date matching today will auto-populate My Day (I think this is being done/has already been done) and so items with due-date matching today + 1 are to auto-populate Tomorrow. Might need a configurable setting to divide days (eg default midnight) to allow for shift working, because a 'day' might not mean the same thing to everyone - but that is, I suppose, a separate request.1.6KViews1like0CommentsRe: How to stop Edge from auto-launch native desktop apps from links (particularly Teams)
OK, figured it out. Deleted all cookies in edge related to teams.microsoft.com. restarted edge; opened office.com, selected teams; it complained then offered for me to try again or sign out. I chose to sign out and in again, and then I took try again, but it might have just worked if I had taken try again the first time. Now I have browser teams.1.6KViews0likes0Comments
