Windows Chat support,Microsoft Store & Windows activation Issues.
The Microsoft Store app on my freshly installed Windows 11 Pro 23H2, is not opening since I could not activate my Windows 11 using my digital signature which was connected to my previous version of Windows 10 that subsequently updated to Windows 11 Pro 23 H2. Neither online chat support is accessible nor their phone callback is working though I have placed three callbacks out of which one was cancelled after 3 days! In the meantime, I am unable to activate Windows 11 though I have tried several methods including buying a new activation key! The new activation key also failed to connect to my digital account. Different types of Errors are coming. Although I have purchased a new product key, an error saying the product key was used on another device. Searching for any such device left me blank as no such devices could be traced! Hence, I am unable to activate Windows 11 for which I wanted to contact support, but that also failed! What is going on and what is the solution to my problems? I have also tried to activate with my old product key which I used for my Windows 10 PC for the first time. I have made no hardware changes while upgrading to Windows 11 Pro 23H2. Then what is the problem I cannot understand!
Classic SharePoint features appearing on a Modern Site
I have a modern SharePoint site, with a modern list that has never been associated with classic SharePoint features. But today, two users have experienced intermittent instances of the list appearing in the classic interface. They have not accessed this site before now so I do not believe there should be a cache issue. Does anyone know why this is happening and how it's possible when this site has no association with Classic features? They are using the same browser, same permissions across the site but sometimes the list opens in Classic mode, sometimes it opens in Modern. It also is happening in incognito mode. They are unable to use the site while in Classic Interface at all - the people pickers deny them access ("Error: Sorry, you do not have permission to query for users" and they cannot edit anything because of this error.
Whom to contact.
Hi, My name is Sam. I have been using the free version of Copilot for almost a week now, but the system is too limited for the work I am doing. Using the Copilot though, I have created a formal comprehensive request for access to higher powered A.I. What I do not know is who to send it too. If anyone can provide relevant information, that would be greatly appreciated.
Allow muting a person only for me
Sometimes I am in a meeting where one of the persons in the meeting is actually near me in the world outside the screen. In this case the sound is a bit maddening since there is a small delay between the sound from the person and the sound through the teams interface. In these cases, I would like to mute the person only for me since I am sitting near and can hear the person fine without headphones. Right now I need to takeoff headphones when the person is talking and putting it back as the person finishes talking.
M365 Copilot Chat Works for Cloud-Only Students, Not for AD-Synced Accounts
I want to make M365 Copilot Chat accessible for our students (13+), and according to this article, I have prepared everything: My tenant is correctly classified as K12. The student account has the attribute ageGroup set to NotAdult in Entra ID. Unfortunately, this only works with student accounts that are cloud-only. When I synchronize a student from the on-premises AD to Entra ID and set the ageGroup attribute to NotAdult in Entra ID, access to Copilot Chat does not work. Any ideas?The Commons for Innovation: A Proposal for a Unified, Public, Cross‑Disciplinary Ecosystem
AI isn’t falling short — it’s being boxed in. If we want it to contribute meaningfully, we need to give it a place where real innovation can grow. Right now, AI is used almost entirely in isolated, one‑on‑one interactions. Individuals ask questions, get answers, and move on. But innovation doesn’t happen in isolation. It happens when different kinds of thinkers can see each other’s work, build on it, and approach problems from multiple angles. Innovation isn’t a straight line from A to B. It’s the whole alphabet in motion. And AI has nowhere to explore that alphabet alongside the people who need it most. Microsoft already has the soil — dozens of communities, idea boards, and discussion spaces — but they function like potted plants. Each product has its own container. Each idea grows alone. The potential is there, but it’s fragmented, hidden, and hard to discover unless you stumble into it by accident. A Commons for Innovation wouldn’t reinvent the wheel. It would refurbish it by connecting these existing spaces into a cohesive, public garden where ideas can grow together instead of apart. A Public Garden of Ideas This ecosystem would bring Microsoft’s scattered communities into one visible, unified environment. Every community would be public — more like a shared garden than a private chat. This allows natural cross‑pollination: environmentalists can see what robotics hobbyists are building educators can learn from accessibility advocates programmers can discover what urban gardeners need materials scientists can browse sustainability challenges No silos. No hidden groups. No barriers to collaboration. What the Platform Could Include Communities organized around real‑world problems: clean water access sustainable materials accessible education renewable energy wildlife rehabilitation assistive robotics urban gardening mental health support tools Each community would offer: a clear problem statement a shared idea board a public discussion space a resource library optional project threads a Copilot‑supported thinking space Anyone could join. Anyone could contribute. No credentials required. Visibility Matters People can’t collaborate in spaces they don’t know exist. Right now, Microsoft’s innovation‑related communities are valuable but scattered — hidden courtyards instead of a connected landscape. A Commons for Innovation would give users a clear entry point and a unified map of the ecosystem. A Single Umbrella for Innovation Microsoft already hosts a space for innovative ideas, but it sits apart from the rest of the community structure. A Commons for Innovation could serve as the umbrella that brings these spaces together, making it easier for users to find, explore, and contribute to the work happening across disciplines. A Showcase Garden for Human + AI Creativity Microsoft users are already creating extraordinary things with Copilot — websites, 3D‑printed tools, comics, children’s books, games, music, merch, and entire fictional universes. But there is no central place to share these creations. A Showcase Garden would give users a public space to display what they’ve built, inspire others, and demonstrate the true range of what AI‑supported creativity can look like. This isn’t just a gallery — it’s a living advertisement for what’s possible when people and AI collaborate across disciplines. As one example, in my own collaboration with Copilot, we’ve created: a full website a 3D‑printed medical splint a merch line comics and illustrated characters a satirical news network children’s books videogame concepts music video storyboards lore, badges, and mythologies creative problem‑solving tools narrative worlds and teaching frameworks None of these projects fit neatly into a single product forum. Yet they all grew from the same seed: a human and an AI exploring ideas across disciplines. A Showcase Garden would let anyone do the same — and let Microsoft highlight the full spectrum of what Copilot can actually do. The Gardeners Already Exist Microsoft already has passionate contributors — Copilot Champs, MVPs, Insiders — but they’re scattered across product‑specific spaces. These community stewards are helping, teaching, and supporting users every day, but only within isolated pots. A Commons for Innovation would give them a unified environment where their expertise can support cross‑disciplinary collaboration, enabling ideas to grow across the entire garden rather than in separate containers. The Role of Copilot Copilot wouldn’t connect private groups or share information between users. Instead, it would act as a facilitator inside each public community: helping users articulate ideas clearly translating concepts across disciplines offering perspectives from fields users may not think to explore keeping categories organized amplifying creativity and broadening problem‑solving approaches This stays fully within existing safety and privacy boundaries while unlocking the collaborative potential of AI. Why Microsoft Is the Right Steward Microsoft already provides the infrastructure, research culture, and AI tools. A Commons for Innovation would allow Microsoft to: support world‑improving work foster interdisciplinary collaboration showcase responsible AI use become the steward of a global innovation ecosystem Microsoft wouldn’t need to own the ideas — the credit comes from building the environment where those ideas can grow. The Opportunity Right now, people who want to make things better — environmentalists, nonprofit innovators, educators, hobbyists, open‑source builders — are scattered across the internet. They’re working in silos, often reinventing the wheel or missing the chance to collaborate with someone who has the missing piece. A Commons for Innovation would give them a shared garden — a place where ideas can grow, cross‑pollinate, and evolve into solutions that matter. If we want AI to help build what hasn’t been built, we need to create the soil where those ideas can take root.
