Windows Spotlight no longer working on Lock Screen
Hi there, This is a recurring issue that I used to be able to fix. I have tried every hack available online. Toggled on and off, cleared cache files, reregistered in Powershell, fix via command prompt, checked for Windows updates and restarted computer a thousand times. Spotlight works perfectly on the background, but NOT on the lock screen. It defaults to the blue flower thingy. Windows 11, Asus VivoBook. What else is there to fix this? Thanks!!!

Community-driven events continue to be one of the strongest pillars of the Microsoft ecosystem—and the High Expert Summit, organized by MVPs and the High Expert community, is a powerful example of that impact in action. Hotmart’s headquarters in Belo Horizonte offered a wonderful venue for the conference due to its modern auditorium and event infrastructure. The summit delivered two intense days of immersion, combining technical depth, strategic discussions, and meaningful connections. With more than 150 in-person participants, attendees were highly engaged and focused on advanced Azure and AI topics—making it one of the most impactful community Azure events in Brazil. Belo Horizonte: Strategic Location, Real Impact From both participant and speaker perspectives, the choice of Belo Horizonte played a defining role in the event’s success. Although São Paulo often concentrates major technology events, Belo Horizonte—home to approximately 2.5 million people—has a strong industrial, technological, and innovation footprint. The region hosts major organizations such as ArcelorMittal, a global leader in steel and mining, and Localiza, one of Latin America’s largest mobility companies, founded in Belo Horizonte and operating across multiple countries, amongst many others. Belo Horizonte also counts with a solid startup network structure (SanPedro Valley - 1st startup community created in Brazil, BH-TEC technology park or the Seed -Startups and Entrepreneurship Ecosystem Development, governmental startup acceleration program) that pushes local entrepreneurs to create new technology-based goods and services. Professionals from these companies were actively present throughout the event, reinforcing how regional hubs outside the traditional tech “center” are deeply invested in cloud and AI transformation. For many attendees, this was the first event in months—or even years—of this scale and quality in the region. The summit clearly addressed a local demand, delivering an experience that had a visible and lasting regional impact. A Community-Led Event, Built by MVPs and New Voices From the very first moments—reception, venue, logistics, and overall organization—the conference demonstrated exceptional care and professionalism. The High Expert team, led by Guilherme Maia, delivered an experience widely praised by attendees for its structure, attention to detail, and high standards. A defining aspect of the event was the strong MVP presence, combined with intentional space for new and first‑time speakers. Most sessions were delivered by Microsoft MVPs, alongside Microsoft professionals and specialists working directly in the market—creating a balance between recognized expertise and fresh perspectives. One particularly meaningful moment was the first public presentation by Matheus Faria Nogueira, who shared a real-world use case focused on security posture management in a web application architecture on Azure. His session demonstrated how security can be embedded into architecture decisions from the start—highlighting both technical rigor and the importance of encouraging new community voices. Deep Technical Content with a Strong Security Focus Over two days, participants explored strategic and technical content covering Azure architecture, DevOps, Artificial Intelligence, innovation, career development, market trends, and the real challenges organizations face today. Security emerged as a key theme throughout the agenda. Among the highlights was the participation of Paulo Silva as a new speaker, presenting practical scenarios combining Microsoft Defender for Cloud and Microsoft Sentinel. His session showcased how organizations can achieve better visibility, detection, and response across hybrid and cloud environments using Microsoft’s security stack. Across sessions, a consistent message resonated with attendees: the value of hands‑on, experience‑driven content. Speakers went beyond slides, focusing on implementation details, lessons learned, and actionable guidance—an approach many participants highlighted as one of the event’s strongest differentiators. Networking, Connections, and Industry Impact Beyond technical sessions, the summit created space for high‑quality networking and collaboration. Conversations between architects, developers, MVPs, Microsoft professionals, and industry leaders fostered valuable exchanges among those actively shaping the future of Cloud and AI. These interactions led to concrete follow‑ups after the event, including discussions around applying Azure AI and object recognition technologies in industrial environments—demonstrating how community events often become catalysts for real innovation. Gratitude to the Community Behind the Event The success of the High Expert Summit was the result of collective effort. Special recognition goes to the event team, who worked behind the scenes to deliver what many described as one of their most challenging—and rewarding—projects to date. The event was elevated by outstanding speakers, including Johnson de Souza Cruz, Claudenir Andrade, Francisco Ferreira, Henrique Eduardo Souza, Elton Bordim, Osanam Giordane da Costa Junior, Gilson Banin, Rodrigo Fonseca, Daniel Ribeiro, Ieso Dias, Roberta Santos, Professor Rodrigo Moreira, and others—each contributing deep expertise, practical insight, and pride in representing the Microsoft MVP community. Support from the sponsors BHS, Advanced Informatica Ltda., and DCIT Tecnologia also played a key role in making the experience possible. Above all, sincere thanks go to every participant who invested their time, energy, and curiosity, turning the summit into a truly memorable community moment. Looking Ahead The event may have concluded, but the movement continues. The conversations, connections, and learning sparked in Belo Horizonte are already shaping what comes next. With overwhelmingly positive feedback and strong regional engagement, expectations are set high for future editions, including the next High Expert Summit anticipated in 2027. Once again, the Microsoft MVP community demonstrated its power to learn, connect, and build the future—together. Want to Learn More About the MVP Program?

ASUS Windows 11 crashes with a blue screen after resetting BitLocker and cannot boot into Safe Mode
The computer's indicator lights are working normally, but the screen won't turn on. The manufacturer recommends resetting BitLocker. After entering the unlock key, the screen goes blue, and I can't enter Safe Mode. Boot keys like F3 and F7 also don't work. How can I fix this?how do i copy text from images in windows 11?
I have some images with text in them and I need to copy that text out, but I can't select it the normal way since it's embedded in the image. Typing it out manually isn't really an option when there's a lot of it. I'm on Windows 11 and I'm wondering what the best way to handle this is. I've heard the Snipping Tool has some kind of text extraction feature now, and I also saw PowerToys mentioned somewhere. Not sure which one actually works well in practice or if there's something even simpler I'm missing. A few things I'd like to know: Does Windows 11 have a built-in way to copy text from images without downloading anything extra? Is the Snipping Tool's text feature reliable, or does it miss a lot? Would PowerToys Text Extractor be better for this? Are there any free tools worth trying if the built-in options don't cut it? The images are mostly screenshots and scanned documents with printed text, nothing handwritten. Privacy matters a bit too, so I'd prefer something that doesn't upload my files to a random server if possible. Any help appreciated. Thanks!
WhatsApp Windows app: No way to sync to phone, no way to backup chats
Windows 11 v. 25H2 When I installed the Windows WhatsApp app, I linked it to my phone. 99% of my messages are on the Microsoft App, not on my phone. There seems to be no way to link them, or to backup. The two devices are not connected, and there is no way to sync them. According to AI, they are likely running separately, on separate programs --- one on the phone, and one on the Windows App None of my backups are saved anywhere on Windows. AI had me look in several places, and they just aren't there. There seems to now be no way to update the app or backup what is there without forwarding it chat by chat to myself, but even then, it can't be restored. Is there something AI missed? Is there any way to fix this without losing all of my chats? My son lives in Europe and all of our chats are on the Windows WhatsApp app.
Microsoft Showcase School and MCE Vouchers...
Hello Microsoft Tech Community, My name is Diogo Azeredo, and I am the STEAM Coordinator at escolaglobal, a Microsoft Showcase School based in Portugal for over ten years. We recently became aware that Microsoft had sent an email informing us about the possibility of requesting new vouchers for MCE (Microsoft Certified Educator) exams — up to two per educator — free of charge, until March 15th, by completing a form. Unfortunately, due to a network intervention at our school that affected our email services, we did not receive this notification in time. By the time we were informed, the deadline had already passed. Given these circumstances, I would like to kindly ask if there is any possibility to still request these vouchers, or if there is an alternative way to access this opportunity. We would greatly appreciate any guidance or support you can provide on this matter. Thank you very much in advance.
Problem with Outlook classic
Hello, how do I ask for help in this forum about a problem that the support desk seems to have no idea how to fix? My Outlook Classic on my desktop will not open 3rd party links and tells me that my organisation has a policy preventing it happening and to contact my Help Desk but I have a family subscription and no help desk. Even when a person rang me to talk to me after multiple reports, part way through our conversation he just disappeared. I am in Australia so the time difference may be an issue. An example of the problem is that I received a retail company email featuring a link to view their catalogues and my Outlook won't open it because of a policy I never asked for. I don't know if this is the right forum but it's the only one I could find to ask a question on.Blog post stuck in “Awaiting Review” – guidance on timeline
