Dear Microsoft Support Team, Following our previous conversation, I understand my issues require escalated technical support. I'm detailing my concerns below for your specialized assistance. Issue 1: Disabled Environment Variable Controls I'm running Windows 11 Home and cannot modify system environment variables through the standard GUI. The "Edit" button remains disabled despite being the sole administrator account on this PC. This has created a critical problem with my Java and Tomcat PATH configurations. Currently, my system is detecting an outdated Java version, and Tomcat executables cannot be located - both due to incorrect PATH settings that I'm unable to modify. Issue 2: Authentication Method Constraints I need to transition from my current PIN authentication to a more secure password system. However, the "Password" option in Sign-in settings only permits changes to my existing account password, which is not my intent. The Windows Hello PIN section only allows modifying my existing PIN rather than replacing it with a robust password. This limitation presents significant security concerns for my system. These issues are hampering my development work and system security. I would appreciate your assistance in resolving these technical constraints. Thank you for your expertise and support.106Views1like1CommentMS Office: A Powerful Office Software Suite

Suddenly the voices available for the "read aloud" function in MS word have totally deteriorated. They sound mechanical like old school computer voices. I use this function extensively for editing and it is no longer valuable. With all the technology available, why did it go backwards? What is a solution for this? The voices are awful.78Views1like0CommentsCreating a ribbon for Avatar Reactions
Loving the Avatar feature! I'm noticing a lot of team members within our organization starting to use it. I think a visual but functional feature that could be considered is creating a second ribbon at the top, only when using the Avatar, that gives us a shortcut in using the reactions. Consider 5 or 10 reactions lined up across, small images that we can click on while attending a meeting! I feel that this will allow to have more space on the right hand side to be able to see participants or the chat.1.1KViews1like0Comments
