Hi all, I'm encountering an issue with Windows Hello for Business on the latest version of Windows (July 2025 update). The setup process fails during initialisation, and no biometric or PIN options are being provisioned for the user. Environment: Windows version: 11 24H2 Enterprise (latest update) Deployment mode: Hybrid Cloud Trust Hybrid joined devices Symptoms: Users are prompted to set up WHfB but the process fails at the last step with error 0x80090010 Users who already have WHfB authentication methods created can successfully login Event ID 311 & 303 in the User Device Registration logs Screenshots: Troubleshooting so far: Unjoined and rejoined to Entra ID Granted modify permissions on folder in which NGC container would be created Rolled back to June 2025 update (this worked) So it seems like this is caused or related to the latest Windows Update, which is rather unfortunate for us as we are just beginning to rollout WHfB for our organisation. I'm posting here to raise awareness of the issue, if there is a more appropriate place to post then please suggest.
CA policy for corporate devices
I would like to create a conditional access policy to block all non corporate devices from accessing Office 365 resources. I created a policy: Applies to -> User Group Applies to -> all resources Applies to -> Win 10 Filter for devices exception-> Ownership: company & trust type: Entra Hybrid joined. Action: block The above works fine for office desktop login, i.e. blocks non corporate devices and allows corporate devices. However, a side effect is that sign ins from browser on a corporate device is still blocked.Microsoft’s Effort to Develop a Broad People Platform
Microsoft 365 users see the profile card and might wonder where the information displayed on the card comes from. Entra ID is the obvious source, but the people platform that Microsoft is developing is another and could include information imported through a Copilot connector to build out a complete picture of users and contacts within a Microsoft 365 tenant. It’s early days yet, but beta code is available. https://office365itpros.com/2025/09/10/people-platform/Old Microsoft Office 2010 (Unknown version) license
Hello everybody, I've been having an annoying activation problem with my old Microsoft Office 2010 license because of a number of reasons. In order to provide relevant details of my case, I've made a list of peculiar characteristics of this device and this Office 2010 license bought long ago and installed in a corporate CPU now under maintenance. Original Microsoft Office 2010 (Unknown version) license provided in a DVD case was bought in 2011 or 2012 for corporate purposes, purchase not performed by me. The software was originally installed in my corporate CPU, but the case with original intallation DVD was lost over the years after several administrative changes Serial product number was carefully kept by me in an anticipation of the possibility this DVD could be lost, which came true over the years. CPU is monitored in a corporate environment and has a specific Microsoft Windows 10 license unknown by me, which DOES NOT INCLUDE Microfost Office, though. This CPU is an Intel i3 with 16 Gb of RAM memory on a 64-based Windows 10 Home Single Language OS, version 22H2. Microsoft no longer provides support for Office versions older than 2013, therefore preventing me from finding a solution in Microsoft documentation and automated Microsoft Internet tutorials/assistants. I've risked downloading and installing a non-official Microsoft Office 2010 on this CPU from a third-party website with no relationship to Microsoft because of its absence from Microsoft official sources with good results. Activation fails continuously, though, even when I copy and paste the correct serial Microsoft Office 2010 serial number I have in my backups. I have a strong suspicion this has to do with the wrong software version (Home & Student X Pro), but I am not entirely sure of it. Product number error code is 0x8007232B My corporate environment does not provide Microsoft Office to all of its computers because of budgetary constraints and the availability of alternative freeware. Moreover, they are located in an institution completely separated from where I work, because the Windows 10 version I currently use is registered with the local regional Government under an institutional corporate e-mail completely apart from this centralized IT facility. This organization is called PRODESP (https://www.prodesp.sp.gov.br), which in turn is understaffed and deals with all kinds of issues, with a particular focus dedicated to financial issues, because of the countless employees the Government of Sao Paulo State (Brazil, South America) possesses accross the entire State. Recently I tried some alternative Office suites but neither option I tried had an advanced "Find and Replace" tool which only Microsoft Office has, which made me even more strongly attached to my user experience with Microsoft Office 2010 and this is why I would like to continue using it despite this license being now almost 15 years old, and its broad operational compatibility with the current Microsoft Office 365 version, particularly with regards to file formats, recorded MACROs and many other aspects not of interest and neither discussed here. An illustrative screenshot with my problem shown on it is provided below here too. Any help from whoever is able to help me solve this problem would be greatly appreciated, particularly if provided by a Microsoft representative. Thank you.
Provide accounts for Microsoft Authenticator centrally
In our IT department, we manage our mobile devices with Microsoft Intune. We have a group of maintenance employees who need access to production machines on the shopfloor using mobile devices. The access to these machines are static users or OTP-based access. Now I would like to provide all maintenance employees and their mobile devices with the Microsoft Authenticator and provide all accesses for these machines as preconfigured accounts. Is this possible with Intune or another option? I don't want to make the Microsoft Authenticator app available to the maintenance staff (we've already managed that), but rather defined accounts for all Microsoft Authenticator clients.
How to add Passkey for Entra ID / M365 Identity to Windows Hello or third-party password manager?
I manage many M365 tenants and can't add all of them to Windows as an account. Because of this I would like to add passkeys for those accounts to either a third-party password manager or (preferred) Windows Hello. So far I haven't found a way to do this. The passkey dialog at https://mysignins.microsoft.com/security-info only allows me to add a passkey to a physical key. So: So how can I add M365 passkeys to Windows Hello?How to disable option to stay signed in
The option for users to choose to stay signed in to Office 365 is a potential security problem. We have MFA turned on, but if users stay signed in another person may access the tenant if the computer is left unattended or is hacked. It was possible to turn this option off in Company Branding in AAD until the latest (preview) version of Company Branding was released. For some reason that feature is not available in the latest version. I assume I can revert to the previous version, and then turn it off, but when doing that, I receive a warning that it may have negative consequences for SharePoint Online, but it doesn't say what those consequences are. So, my questions are: 1. Can I turn it off by reverting to the previous version of Company Branding and what are the consequences? 2. Is it possible to achieve the same result in another way? PowerShell or Conditional Access maybe?
