New Outlook Update Bug
Hello Tech Community, My Classic Outlook recently went through update from Version 2410 to the new version 2411. I have discovered that with the new update there is some sort of display bug for Signature Tab. When creating new email i am trying to apply a signature from several signature options, but at the dropdown of "Signature" Tab, none of the signatures displaying text to see the name of each signature, it is blank, but what's interesting is hovering over shows that name of the signature there and it is still selectable, but it is not text displayed. I have reached out to my colleague who is currently on the older version of Classic Outlook and there are no issues. I have done a lot of steps clearing cache, clearing app data folder, disabling and enabling add in (in my case its codeTwo - but this issue happens to manually created signatures as well), i have also, re-created Outlook profile, repaired, re-installed outlook. Please let me know if there is a fix that can be done by user? ThanksI want to turn off or hide the draft with copilot dingbat that follows my cursor around in MS Word.
I have seen a few articles on this website, and I know it's not possible but I'm going to ask anyway. For reference this is what I'm referring to: It's more I find the little thing following me around on my screen to be annoying and distracting, I've managed to hide or disable anything related to copilot on my system except this little dingbat. When a new document is open you get a little message that says "Select the icon or press Alt + i to draft with copilot" It would be nice if I could hide that as well, yes copilot is a *feature*, and I don't care about it. I also want to hide the paste with copilot and just used the local paste options that were built into previous versions of word. I suspect that there is a copilot dingbat that is stored somewhere on my system, possibly in a font, and as I have already made a few detrimental modifications to my operating system registry, I'm not wary of messing up my computer any more than it could be. The only saving grace I have at the moment is there is an issue with my account, so any accidental triggering of the feature causes it to crap out. (So long as I don't accidentally press the 'fix account" button) I know that if it was easy to turn off there would be a button for it, I know Microsoft probably wants us to use this feature because it means more data for them to collect, an I'm disappointed in the loss of user agency that's resulted from this rollout, and there's a spike in animosity towards AI in general.
Updated PowerShell ISE (Terminal ISE) in Windows 11
As a Help Desk technician in a large organization, I can't express how lifesaving PowerShell automation scripts are for me. Due to security policies, we're not allowed to use Python, VS Code, or something fancy. Even built-in systemwide Copilot gets blocked wherever it rears its head. So, we're heavily reliant on native PowerShell and the ISE, which, let's be honest, isn't as polished as the new Windows Terminal. Wouldn't it be fantastic to have a built-in ISE that's perhaps one that borrows from the VS Code framework and UI/UX but exclusively for PowerShell? Perhaps it could have built-in plugins preferences for signing in with a corporate account for Git services (GitLabs / GH Enterprise), or AI Copilots, and have an overall improved code completion, suggestions, syntax highlighting, type-inference, themes for us technician who solely depend on PowerShell to work effectively. Just don't present it to our employers as the built-in "VS Code" or "code editor"—they'll freak out. Heck even Notepad++ needs special permissions, they're not fans. And please allow Notepad to format and highlight JSON, and XML files but no more otherwise they'll pass a GPO to have it banned.
Copilot via voice
I would love to hear how the community is using copilot and how are you using it on a day to day basis. I have started to write most of my mails via voice using copilot and its pretty impressive and I can just talk into it like I talk to an assistant. What are your experiences via voice invocation?
Possible to replace main admin account ?
I set up a new PC with an admin account XXX. Having a 365 family subscription, I now want to assign this PC to another family member and have created a second admin account YYY on this PC. Is it possible to delete the main admin account XXX without damage? If so, which account deletion procedure is recommended? Thank you for your help.
Authenticator app issue
I am trying to log into Outlook and Teams on my iphone. When I try to enter in Username & PW, I get forced to open authenticator app, which asks for the same log in details I try to enter into Teams and Outlook, then it asks me to enter an authenticator app code which I cannot access as the current window prevents it from opening. I go back and have to start the whole process again. I just seem to go around in circles and end up in the same spot. i am the admin for the account , so i am unable to reset anything.enable Accessibility Tree on macOS in the new Teams (work or school)
hello! so i build apps for macOS that use the AX Tree exposed by other apps. in the old Teams, i was able to expose the AX Tree by sending a call to Teams (seehttps://www.electronjs.org/docs/latest/tutorial/accessibility#macosfor more info). it doesn't work anymore in the new Teams. there's another flag that can be sent to apps, but it doesn't work either. the new Teams doesn't expose its AX Tree to my calls. but i **KNOW** it is possible to expose it, because i've found at least one third party app that is able to do so. so, my question, what needs to be done to the new Teams so that i can have access to the AX Tree with my own apps? thank you!How do I wipe android phone before selling?
Before youwipe Android before selling, be sure to back up any important files or data you want to keep. You can use Google Drive, Samsung Cloud, or any other backup tool. Step 1: Delete your Google Account and other accounts Go to Settings > Accounts & backup. Tap Accounts. Select the Google account (and any other accounts) you want to delete. Tap Remove account. This will prevent any account from being associated with the phone after the reset. Step 2: Encrypt your data To make it harder for anyone to recover your data, you can encrypt your phone. This adds an extra layer of security. Go to Settings > Biometrics and security. Scroll down and select Encrypt or decrypt SD card. If you see the option to encrypt your device, go ahead. If you don't see this option, your device is probably already encrypted, as most phones are. (Keep in mind that this usually only applies to SD cards, but it certainly helps if your phone prompts you.)
