How do I turn off read only mode in Powerpoint
Hi, I have been working on a PowerPoint presentation slideshow. I have been using the same PowerPoint for the last 7 years ie adding new slides each year. However, this year It's not letting me save my work and states can't save because it is in read only mode. I still have another 200 slides to add, but have had to redo my work for the last 3 days. Since it not saving my work. Please advise. I need to have this slideshow done by next week. BTW: I've tried following instructions via the internet etc.
Windows 365 disconnects on lock, possible to change timeout?
We enabled the SSO/MFA preview and now when our Windows 365 RDP sessions time out they are booting the user off of the RDP session with the message "Windows Remote Desktop Client - You were disconnected because your session was locked." This is apparently by design because of the ability to use passwordless authentication and the fact the lock screen can't support this. The timeout appears to currently be 15 minutes which is fairly short if the VDI is not your only system you are working in. I am wondering if anyone knows of a way to extend this timeout to 30 or 60 minutes. This timeout does not occur if the SSO option is disabled in the provisioning policy. This is on Windows 365 not Azure VDI so there are no backend RDP server settings to change. Also, if anyone at Microsoft is reading this why does it pop up 2 of the exact same message boxes at the same time for this disconnection message? Kind of annoying.
Cannot Access Windows Hardware Developer Program in Partner Center — How to Sign Drivers in 2025?
Hi all, I'm trying to sign a Windows driver and need access to the Microsoft Windows Hardware Developer Program. **What I'm trying to achieve:** - Sign a driver for Windows using the standard Microsoft hardware signing process. **The issue:** - When I try to register for the Windows Hardware Developer Program, I get a message saying "Hardware Program is already in Active state". - However, when I go to Programs > Settings in Microsoft Partner Center, the Hardware Developer Program is NOT visible/available. - I have Global Admin permissions, and I’ve also tried using an account with Owner permissions — no difference, the Hardware Program is missing from the list. **My question:** - How do I get access to the Windows Hardware Developer Program if it's "Active" but not visible in the Partner Center? - Is there any way to manage or join the Hardware Program in 2025 if it's not listed? - Is there an alternative process for signing Windows drivers now? Any up-to-date guidance for 2025 would be super helpful. Any advice or escalation contacts would be highly appreciated! Thanks in advance.
