Edge Sync Persistent Failure
Subject: Edge Sync Persistent Failure: "Our services aren't available" on syncreset page and Sync Engine stuck on "Initializing" Hi everyone, I’m seeking urgent help regarding a persistent Microsoft Edge sync issue that has lasted for several days across 5 different devices (4 Windows PCs and 1 iOS device). The Symptoms: Sync Engine Deadlock: On all my Windows devices, the edge://sync-internals page shows the Transport State as "Initializing" or "Backed off". The Total Entries often drop to 0, or it shows Network error (ERR_CONNECTION_CLOSED). Server-Side Lockdown: I am unable to access the Edge sync reset page (https://edge.microsoft.com/syncreset) from ANY browser or ANY network environment (including mobile data and different VPN nodes). It consistently returns: "Our services aren't available. We're working to restore all services as soon as possible. Please check back soon." Question: Since the syncreset page is unavailable globally for my account, it seems to be a back-end identity/gateway issue rather than a local client error. Has anyone else encountered this "Services aren't available" error on the reset page recently? Is there a way to force a server-side sync container refresh when the official reset tool is down?Slow tab closing
When I try to close tabs when other tabs are still loading there is a noticeable delay between when I hit Ctrl+w/ click x and when the tab closes. From what I can tell it seems that closing a tab requires cpu and when usage is high, it has to wait for space to open up. Has anyone else noticed this issue or have any solutions?Resource Guide: Making Physical AI Practical for Real‑World Industrial Operations
Microsoft's adaptive cloud approach brings cloud, edge, data, and AI together to help organizations turn operational technology (OT) data into intelligent action, without requiring everything to live in the cloud. At the center of this approach are key technologies that connect physical operations to cloud-scale data, analytics, and AI: Key Purpose Offering Direct-to-cloud device management + telemetry ingestion Azure IoT Hub Industrial connectivity + edge data plane Azure IoT Operations Unified analytics + real-time intelligence Microsoft Fabric On-device AI inferencing runtime Microsoft Foundry Industry recognition Microsoft named a Leader in the 2026 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Global Industrial AIoT Platforms Read the announcement See it all come together Before diving into each component, watch this end-to-end demo showing how Azure IoT Operations, Azure IoT Hub, Microsoft Fabric, and Foundry Local work as one stack across the edge-to-cloud lifecycle - Making industrial AI practical for real-world operations with adaptive cloud. How these components work together Azure IoT Operations and Azure IoT Hub collect real-time data from operational assets and send semantically-ready, modeled data to Microsoft Fabric, where it's contextualized with enterprise data for downstream analytics. Microsoft Foundry extends to the edge through Foundry Local, so the same tooling used to deploy and manage AI models in the cloud applies to edge use cases. All of it integrates into Azure Resource Manager, bringing OT devices, assets, and edge AI models into the same management and security paradigm as every other Azure-managed resource. This blog walks through where to get started with each product capability: 1. Manage Cloud-Connected Devices and Telemetry with Azure IoT Hub Azure IoT Hub is a fully managed cloud service that enables secure bidirectional communication, device-to-cloud telemetry ingestion, cloud-to-device command execution, per-device authentication, remote management and more. Telemetry from IoT Hub can also be routed downstream into analytics platforms like Microsoft Fabric for visualization or AI modeling. Recommended Usage: Devices that utilize IoT Hub are distributed, stand-alone devices with fixed-functions. These devices typically do not require cloud-managed containerized workloads or cloud-managed proximal industrial protocol connectivity. Examples of appropriate device-to-cloud IoT Hub endpoint devices include water monitoring stations, vehicle telematics, distributed fluid level sensors, etc. Resources Current in-market services overview: IoT Hub: What is Azure IoT Hub? - Azure IoT Hub DPS: Overview of Azure IoT Hub Device Provisioning Service - Azure IoT Hub Device Provisioning Service ADU: Introduction to Device Update for Azure IoT Hub Building scalable solutions with Azure IoT platform: Best practices for large-scale IoT deployments - Azure IoT Hub Device Provisioning Service Scale Out an Azure IoT Hub-based Solution to Support Millions of Devices - Azure Architecture Center Azure IoT Hub scaling Try out our preview of new IoT Hub capabilities (integration with Azure Device Registry and Certificate Management) Learn more about these capabilities on our blog post: Azure IoT Hub + Azure Device Registry (Preview Refresh): Device Trust and Management at Fleet Scale… Integration with Azure Device Registry (preview): Integration with Azure Device Registry (preview) - Azure IoT Hub Microsoft-backed X.509 certificate management (preview): What is Microsoft-backed X.509 Certificate Management (Preview)? - Azure IoT Hub How to start with the preview: Deploy IoT Hub with ADR integration and certificate management (Preview) - Azure IoT Hub 2.

Microsoft Edge PDF Reader - signature validation warning for official signatures
Since the last edge update we are running into the following issue, which triggers support tickets on our side. It seems that the edge internal PDF Reader now supports validation of digital PDF signatures. This new feature however is incomplete and causes a lot of confusion for edge users. "Official" signatures are labeled as "Unknown Signature" and "The validity of the signature is still unknown": "Official signatures" means qualified signatures from members of the EUTL - the European trust list as defined in ETSI TS 119 612 („Trusted Lists“): [...] the European Commission publishes a central list with links to the locations where the national trusted lists are published as notified by Member States. This central list, called the List Of Trusted Lists (LOTL), is available in both a human readable format and in a format suitable for automated (machine) processing XML. Parts of the edge PDF reader seems to come from *dobe itself which adds additional confusion since in their products (*dobe reader, acrobat etc) the signatures are correctly verified. They support this list for several years now (next to their own AATL list). I tried to find out whether this feature is 'work-in-progress' or it is a bug however the last published roadmap is quite old and doesn't give helpful information regarding this aspect. So my question is: Is full support of PDF signature validation including support of the EUTL planned and if so when?Microsoft Industrial AI Partner Guide: Choosing the Right Data Expertise for Every Stage

Microsoft Edge Workspaces deleted/hidden after update.
All my workspaces in Edge are hidden and/or are deleted. I updated my windows yesterday night (the restart also updated Edge which was pending) and noticed this issue this morning. I had 10+ workspaces and none of them are here to be found. Tried restarting the browser but no luck there.
OWA spell checks part of the word
Something strange happened as I was typing an email today. I misspelled "specific" so I quickly fixed it using the spell checker. Then, it underlined the "cifi" part of the word "specific" suggesting spelling corrections as seen in the screenshot. There is no space in the word so I don't know why it focused on the part of the word (maybe because of the previous correction?). Do you know if this is an Outlook bug or an Edge bug? Not sure which spell checker is acting in OWA honestly.Scaling Industrial AI at the Edge with Helin and Azure IoT
Remote industrial sites generate operational data continuously, but the ability to act on that data in near real time can be challenging. Bandwidth is often limited; connectivity is inconsistent, and the analysis needed to turn raw signals into insight typically depends on cloud connection. When worker safety is on the line, that gap matters even more, since a person entering a hazardous zone has to be detected and flagged on site independent of a cloud connection. Meeting those conditions calls for a secure, repeatable foundation, one that trains models in the cloud, runs inference locally, governs distributed edge devices, and turns the right signals into insight. Helin Data built that foundation: an edge-to-cloud platform that combines local inference, industrial data collection, and fleet observability on Azure. RedZone, Helin's vision AI application for hazardous-zone monitoring, is the first proof point of this platform. It uses the CCTV cameras already installed on a rig to detect when a person enters a defined danger zone around active equipment, triggering a local alert through an on-site interface and status lights, and logging the event for later safety and operational analysis. Because inference runs at the edge, RedZone can detect and alert without waiting on a connection to the cloud, while Azure handles centralized management, analysis, and model lifecycle activities. What sets this solution apart Designed for constrained environments – Inference runs directly on the edge box, so RedZone keeps detecting and alerting even through network outages, with no dependence on the cloud at runtime. Only priority events and metadata detected by RedZone sync to Azure, which keeps bandwidth use low on a constrained connection such as satellite connectivity used at some offshore sites. Secure, scalable fleet governance – Devices onboard automatically through Device Provisioning Service (DPS) with per-device X.509 certificates. Every device is listed in Azure Device Registry (in preview) and projected as native ARM resources, so updates and configuration changes can be targeted, governed, and audited using standard Azure tooling. Helin adds multi-level security, including public key infrastructure (PKI), data encryption, and industry-trusted authentication, protecting data as it moves from the rig to the cloud. Helin's observability layer spans device health, firmware updates, application status, and the data pipeline, so organizations can promptly identify and investigate potential issues across the edge-to-cloud pipeline. A closed edge-to-cloud AI loop – Models are trained and versioned in Azure Machine Learning, then deployed to the edge for local inference. Detections stream back into Microsoft Fabric, where the data can inform model evaluation and future model versions, closing the loop between the field and the cloud. A reusable application foundation – RedZone runs on the same platform and loop that can be adapted for additional customer scenarios. A different hazard, a different zone, or a different operational question can become its own application. Delivering a governed device fleet Azure IoT Hub and DPS provide secure device connectivity, messaging, and automated provisioning. The Azure IoT Hub integration with Azure Device Registry, currently in public preview, represents devices as Azure resources, providing a foundation for Azure-native fleet inventory and governance. Together, these services help Helin onboard, connect, and manage distributed edge deployments. Azure Device Registry (public preview with Azure IoT Hub): Provides the management plane, representing each device as an Azure Resource Manager resource so it can be governed with the same patterns used for other Azure resources including role-based access control, resource groups, tags, and resource-level management, with namespaces acting as the organizational and security boundary. Azure Device Registry integration with Azure IoT Hub and Microsoft-backed X.509 certificate management is in public preview and is not recommended for production workloads. Azure IoT Hub and DPS: Deliver secure onboarding and bidirectional messaging between the devices and the cloud. Helin Data Edge Inference and Data Collector: Runs vision AI inference at the edge and connects into the industrial control systems already on site, so each detection carries operational context. Industrial data is collected, contextualized, buffered, and filtered locally before important signals are sent to Azure. Microsoft Fabric: Ingests telemetry and turns it into an operational model for analysis and reporting, giving organizations clearer insight into their operations. Customer Impact This solution is already proven in a demanding industrial environment. When Helin Data implemented RedZone on Noble’s Maersk Discoverer rig, RedZone detected a person entering a hazardous zone and raised an alert in roughly 150 milliseconds. Processing the detection locally is particularly important offshore, where limited connectivity makes a cloud-dependent response impractical. Helin’s broader edge platform is already supporting Noble across its operations. The offshore drilling contractor, which operates a fleet of more than 40 rigs, uses Helin’s Remote CCTV Manager to provide authorized personnel with live video from more than 20 rigs. Reduced resolution streams sync to Noble’s secure Azure environment for viewing while full resolution recordings stay at the rig to reduce bandwidth use. Together, these examples demonstrate the broader platform pattern: process high-volume data locally, transmit the signals that matter, and centrally manage applications deployed across a distributed industrial fleet. Closing RedZone shows what becomes possible when Azure IoT Hub is used as more than a device-connectivity service. Combined with secure provisioning, Azure-native device governance, edge inference, model lifecycle management, and Microsoft Fabric, it becomes part of a repeatable platform for building and operating industrial AI applications at scale. For customers, the value extends beyond a single safety scenario. The same foundation can support new applications across worker safety, operational visibility, process improvement, and other industrial use cases, without rebuilding the underlying device and data infrastructure each time. Helin brings the industrial application expertise; Azure provides the scalable foundation on which those applications can be deployed, governed, and continuously improved.
