Debugging the future of work: Microsoft 365 Community Conference 2026
Building in the era of AI can get very challenging. That’s exactly why we’re here to help you debug, refactor, and level up at the Microsoft 365 Community Conference, happening April 21–23, 2026 in Orlando, FL. Whether you’re a developer ready to scale your skillset or a power user looking to upgrade your formatting skills, walk away with practical tools you can use immediately.

Here’s what you’ll learn by attending the sessions: Create custom agents for your company in Microsoft 365 Copilot Custom agents are how you turn Copilot into your Copilot. The conference will cover how to design, secure, and deploy company-specific agents using Microsoft technologies like Copilot Studio, Microsoft Graph connectors, Entra ID, and Azure, and how to integrate them into Microsoft 365 experiences (Teams, SharePoint, and Outlook) with the Agent Toolkit and extensibility patterns. Expect practical guidance on grounding agents in enterprise data, enforcing permissions, and shipping them through your existing dev and governance processes. Build smarter with SPFx Want to build once and run everywhere across Microsoft 365? This is your blueprint.

Network connections delayed
Running Windows 11. Until a few days ago, my laptop would always boot up connected to the internet as soon as the desktop displayed. Suddenly it started booting up showing a globe icon in the systray Clicking on that icon pops up a solid black small window where things like wi-fi, bluetooth, airplane, etc would normally show. After 30 to 50 seconds, the globe turns into the wi-fi icon and it's connected to the internet. I've tried the few fixes I found on the web, but none work. How can I get the "instant" connection working again?Announcing the 2026 Microsoft 365 Community Conference Keynotes

Incident critique : Edge Sync “Uninitialized”, appareils disparus, identité WAM/MSAL corrompue
Bonjour, Je rencontre un incident critique affectant directement mon identité Microsoft (MSA). Il ne s’agit pas d’un problème local mais d’un dysfonctionnement côté serveur. Donc entre autres Microsoft Edge ne se synchronise plus, mes appareils n'apparaissent plus sur mon compte (pour la localisation par exemple) et d'autres problèmes de synchronisations (presse papier entre mes appareils ne fonctionne plus...) Voici les éléments techniques constatés : - Le conteneur Edge Sync de mon compte est en état “Uninitialized”. - Tous mes appareils ont disparu de mon compte Microsoft (Device Registration cassé). - Les services d’identité WAM / MSAL / OneAuth ne se réinitialisent plus correctement. - Impossible de créer de nouveaux passkeys ou d’utiliser les services dépendants de l’identité cloud. On dirait que ça nécessite une intervention côté serveur : réinitialisation des identités WAM/MSAL, du conteneur Edge Sync et du Device Registration. Je reste à l'écoute de toute aide en vous remerciant par avance. PS : Information complémentaire : Réinstallations propres de Windows 11 (avec d'abord un compte local → compte MS, et une configuration directe du compte MS). dsregcmd /leave et /join. Effacement du TPM. Mise à jour du chipset/BIOS/Windows vers les dernières versions. Suppression manuelle de l'appareil dans le portail (impossible il réapparait !). Connexion et déconnexion de mon compte Microsoft, passage à un compte local puis retour au compte MS, etc. Le problème de synchronisation de Edge est apparu à 99% suite à un démarrage en mode sans échec et le lancement de EDGE ! Le problème s'est propagé après sur tous mes PC et même sur une installation "fraiche" A la base mon pc apparaissait sur mon compte et je pouvais le localiser en ligne... le problème est apparu après plusieurs formatage/installations successifs ! J'ai formaté parce que j'avais deux soucis toujours pas résolus (même plusieurs après formatage) : 1- Mes applications au démarrage mettent beaucoup de temps à démarrer après l'ouverture de ma session sauf si je lance le gestionnaire des tahces (!!!!) et la tout se lance en qlq secondes 2- Problème, c'est que j'ai deux clés de registres qui réapparaissent à l'adresse Ordinateur\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\AU et ça bloque les MAJ si je supprime les clés du registre elles reviennent au démarrage !
Windows Support cant Help.
I am now at a complete loss. I have been online with Windows support and after hours of trying to fix my problem they have told me they cant help and I should look for help elsewhere. This kind of feels weird and strange if Microsoft cant fix a Microsoft problem. I have Windows11 Pro (25H2) and cannot create a recovery drive. All the usual fixes have been tried and no joy. For example. Cannot down load Recover version to use. Have Downloaded both ISO English (USA & International) Cannot do a install as it say it cant confirm if my pc is compatible with windows11. It is of course and windows runs (Almost Well) currently. Have replaced install.wim also install.esd no success. Everything else was tried by Microsoft. Any comment would be very welcomed.
Sell you a broken Product; Charge you to fix it...
That's basically the characterization I have for Microsoft Windows. Each OS upgrade has become progressively worse. Win 11 is the latest in a parade of failing OS versions, which boggle the user's minds. I blame it on the abusive practice of H1 Visa outsourcing. Those 'developers' are giving us exactly what their employer is paying for. Win 11 just illustrates that they can't hide the elephant anymore. The key difference is in how users and developers perceive desktop metaphor. Clearly not in sync. In the beginning. the plan was simple. Evolve the tasking of file management from dark, herculean path navigation to eye-candy point, click and drag navigation. It was pretty brilliant and sensible. It should have ended there, save for some tweaks on file manipulation. The metaphor enveloped a western philosophy: Meet the target objective in its simplest, most efficient, cost-effective manner. In other words, task goals were tacit and conclusive. But then, under the auspices of H1 recruiting, that western tact morphed into a new metaphor. The "Zen" of design. Ends became secondary and the metaphor changed to means...or "process illustrious". Thus, the marketing sales pitch used to be...'Find the meaningful solution to a specific, meaningful problem and then build the button to execute the solution'. Now the pitch is: 'Build a button and see if we can tie it back to something useful'. As such, Windows has grown into a smoking Jalopy; replete with endless bells and whistles. To be fair, there is evidence that suggests they can still maintain reasonable security updates...until they can't. Seems like an endless chase. If I were CEO of Microsoft... I think I would fire the entire Windows Development Team and start new, clean slate on de-behemothing this arduous OS. My screening would necessarily require high triple Digit IQs, with a pension for OCD. The success of windows rests exclusively on the team that develops it. It's just a pity that marketers got their meat hooks on the product. Nary a bigger collection of shoe-shufflers than them. As suggested; Microsoft is the only company I know of that can sell you a broken product and then charge you money to fix it.
