Problem with PIN Availability in Safe Mode
Hey Everyone, Encountering an issue when trying to enter safe mode on Windows - a prompt appears stating "Your PIN is unavailable due to an error." Clicking on the "Set up my PIN" option yields no results. Any suggestions on resolving this obstacle and regaining access to safe mode would be greatly appreciated. P.S. - I am able to access Windows without issues in the "normal" mode.Microsoft Edge message "session expired".
HHi! I read and comment on Edge home page off and on all day. About 10 days ago, I tried to post something and got the msg that the session had expired, followed by "log in to comment". But I AM logged in and have been for quite a while. My avatar shows, my history is there, the people I follow are marked, etc. I can't figure out what the problem is and it's driving me nuts. Any ideas would be very much appreciated!

[UKR] Win 11/Copilot: Voice Access Localization, Stability, and Features
I am an active user of Windows 11 Pro (Version 24H2) and regularly use Copilot. I urge you to consider the following proposals to enhance the usability and functionality of the system for the Ukrainian community. ### 1. Critical Issue: Missing Ukrainian Language in Voice Access This is the most pressing issue for millions of users in Ukraine. * **Problem:** Windows' built-in voice control feature (**Voice Access**) **does not support the Ukrainian language for executing system commands** (e.g., "Open Notepad"), only for text dictation. This makes the feature virtually unusable. * **Current Status:** An existing Feedback Hub submission regarding this issue lacks votes and has not been prioritized. * **Proposal:** We urgently request the integration of **full Ukrainian language support for system control commands**, prioritizing this issue immediately. ### 2. Copilot Stability and Functionality Improvements Issues that reduce Copilot's effectiveness: * **Eliminate Answer Interruptions:** When using **voice input** and the **"Share" mode** (screen analysis), Copilot's answers are frequently **cut short or interrupted**. Please optimize the server-side processing for stable and complete result delivery, especially when processing image data. * **Expand Interactivity (Control):** I request giving Copilot the ability to **perform basic actions** within an open window in **"Share" mode** (e.g., "Click the 'Settings' button," "Scroll down"). * **Ukrainian AI Model Optimization:** Please optimize the Copilot AI model for the Ukrainian language to enhance the accuracy and speed of processing complex queries. * **Allow Copilot Hotkey Change:** The system assignment of **Alt + Space** conflicts with popular launchers. Please add an option in Windows Settings to **change the system hotkey** for launching Copilot. ### 3. Windows Organization Improvement * **Expanded Desktop Sorting Options:** Please add more context- or **category-based sorting options** to the Desktop "Sort by" menu to improve the logical order of icons (beyond just "Name" and "Item type"). Thank you for your attention to these critical suggestions.
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 environmentsNew Outlook will not load
I recently opened my computer to use Email which is New Outlook. I had not used my computer for sometime as it is secondary to another which I tend to use daily, however, when I tried to open Outlook it asked me to log in and enter my password, this I did and Outlook said that it was setting me up. But a screen came up telling me that "We ran into and error. Microsoft.Exchange.Data.Directory.ADDriverStoreAccessNonLocalException - It continued below with, The new Outlook could not successfully launch. Try Troubleshoot, or please try again later. When I hit the Troubleshoot button, the following screen opens: I have tried to open Outlook on several occasions during the day and over several days without success. Any help in resolving this issue will be gratefully appreciated.
