Issue with registering attendance for Tech Community event
While the notification email sent when registering my attendance for a Tech Community event (Windows Office Hours: April 2026 - Microsoft Tech Community) included a calendar invitation, accepting the invitation resulted in me receiving an NDR for the acceptance response (which was sent to email address removed for privacy reasons). These invitations were previously sent from a different email address (of the form firstname.lastname at creatrixmedia.com) and this address happily accepted the meeting responses. Since you don't need the responses, you probably want to update the code creating the .ics attachment to replace RSVP=TRUE with RSVP=FALSE. Hope this is helpful.
How can I install Visual Studio 2022 v17.12.6 Community Edition?
Hello everyone, I need to install Visual Studio 2022 version 17.12.6 (Community Edition) for compatibility with the InDesign 2026 SDK, which requires this specific version for building plugins. However, when I checked the Microsoft Visual Studio downloads and release history pages, I could only find the Professional edition installer for version 17.12.6. I was unable to locate the Community edition for this exact version. Could someone please guide me on where I can download Visual Studio 2022 v17.12.6 Community Edition, whether it is still officially available, or if there is any way to install this specific version using the Visual Studio installer or an offline layout? Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Windows Explorer 11 Jumps to top (Home) when browsing file folders
I haves seen many users posting about having this issue on the Internet with no solutions to the issue. When browsing through FOLDERS in Windows Explorer, the search jumps back to the top of the page to HOME. This is extremely frustrating, especially as one drills down in the file structure and then you are shot to the top of the page. I have seen a lot of suggestions with settings, but nothing definitive. Users are calling it a bug in Windows 11, but I can't believe Microsoft would not have fixed this most irritating issue yet.???????Replies not showing up on discussion board
Hi all, I have a problem I bumped into in excel and went to the excel discussion board to see if I could get help. I have had some answers that don't work and when I tried to reply to these people one out of maybe a dozen of my replies got published. None of them had personal info or bad mouthing or anything like this I am trying to figure out why they don't get published so I can solve the problem. Any help will be appreciated. Regards, LarryD365 Licensing vs Security Roles – Why can users access data without the required license?
I am working as a Power Apps developer in a Dynamics 365 environment that has the Field Service module enabled. In the same environment, some users only have Sales licenses. I assigned a security role that provides read access to the Warehouse table to a user with a Sales license. The user is able to access and read the data successfully, even though they do not have a Field Service license. This makes me unclear about how licensing is enforced in Dynamics 365. If security roles alone can grant access to tables, how do licenses actually restrict functionality? Why is it necessary to purchase additional licenses if users can still access data through security roles? Could someone clarify how licensing enforcement works in this scenario and what the best practice is?

Extracting data from complicated table....
Hey all, Below is a table I have created for tracking info for a special-needs child, the staff member caring for them, the shift, the behaviour and the score (0-5). The Staff cell for each day/shift has a drop down box with a list of staff member names. The cell to the right of the staff name would have a value from 0-5 with 0 showing no behaviours up to 5, which would indicate the behaviour was 100% during the shift. What I'm trying to extract is information such as... 1) For a given behaviour, what shift sees the best and worst - trying to measure if the child has more issues in the morning for instance, verses the afternoon or night. 2) When it comes to the staff member working the shift, who is seeing better or worst behaviours - trying to measure whether the child may have an issue with or be reacting to a staff member more than another. This could come down to staff competency or personality clash. 3) It would be great if I could work out the above by day of the week - as the child is able to select what they would like to do, this could indicate weekly cycles or potential patterns in the childs behaviour as well. While this one starts on March 16th Monday, I would be creating future tables starting at the first day of the month. Possibly a separate Excel file for each month, so the files remain manageable. I'm normally ok with working out the info i need and creating formulas etc... but this one has me a bit stumped. I had started to literally create a 'Reference Data' tab where I was cherry-picking specific cell references from the below table to create a another table, duplicating information but in a different table layout... it is getting exhausting this way and I'm still no closer to being able to work the data. Hoping someone has some relatively simple fixes using XLookup or something like that. The information is being used to help with funding and activities, so it's quite important I can get this to work. If it means redesigning the table...I'll have to do that but this is the format my partner was trying to use for ease of reporting the shift/staff/behaviour/score details. Regards
Why is the memory manager in Windows version 1703 faster than the current Windows versions?
I tested the speed of programs in Windows version 1703 compared to the current versions, I made sure no anti virus or other background processes where interfering. Geekbench scores 13% higher in multi core tests compared to the latest Windows. When testing pure CPU performance there is no difference but memory intensive programs suffer about 10..15% in the latest Windows compared to 1703. Test were run on an 8th gen Intel i7 with spectre and meltdown mitigations disabled. Does anyone know what changed in the Windows memory manager since version 1703 and is it possible to undo these changes?
