Copilot agents have been talking the talk—summarizing information, drafting content, and answering questions. But soon they’ll be walking the walk—executing workflows across systems in policy-controlled Cloud PCs. With Windows 365 for Agents (now in public preview), you can run AI agents in a secure environment and use natural language to direct them to work across software and complete tasks, such as processing invoices or updating CRM data. What’s changing? It may sound like a small shift, but Windows 365 for Agents introduces a fundamentally different runtime model. For the first time, you’ll be able to automate workflows that live outside APIs across real applications—including legacy and UI-based systems—without giving up enterprise security or control. Much of today’s work still lives in browsers, desktop apps, and legacy systems—environments that assume intentional, human behavior. But agents behave differently: Humans operate intermittently and with judgment Agents can operate continuously and at scale Agents depend on IT-defined boundaries, such as identity, policy, access, and monitoring, to keep execution aligned with intended workflows. Without boundaries, agents can: Access unintended systems Act beyond their intended scope Amplify small mistakes across workflows Agents need a dedicated execution space designed for autonomous activity but governed by humans by default. Windows 365 for Agents introduces the right execution environment Windows 365 for Agents provides a dedicated Cloud PC environment that lets you define and control agents in various ways: Independently and continuously, or on demand Under your existing identity, policy, and management controls, such as Microsoft Entra ID and Intune As repeatable, multi-step workflows across real applications, including legacy and UI-based systems, within the boundaries you set Running agents in this controlled environment helps isolate risk and enforce security boundaries so act autonomously while remaining fully governed by your policies and without negatively impacting production systems.

Copilot agents are easy to pilot. Across organizations, teams are building agents to automate tasks, surface insights, and streamline everyday work. Early results are positive—and encouraging. One agent leads to another. Interest spreads. Adoption grows. Then a different question starts to surface: What happens when Copilot agents move beyond experiments and start to scale across the organization? That’s where things are getting more complicated. When success creates a new problem In early stages, conversations about Copilot agents focus on how to build, with questions centering on tools, prompts, and connectors. As usage expands, the challenge shifts away from delivery and toward coordination. Organizations see signals like: Multiple teams building agents independently Overlapping use cases with different risk profiles Unclear ownership as agents move into shared workflows Hesitation around approving the next agent These aren’t failures. They’re signs that agent usage is becoming meaningful enough to require intent, especially at an enterprise level. Why scale changes the conversation As Copilot agents move from isolated experiments to shared enterprise capability, the conversation shifts. The challenge is no longer just how to deliver agents, but how—and which—agents the organization should operate at scale. That shift introduces tradeoffs that rarely appear during pilot phases: How much autonomy should teams retain? Where does consistency start to matter? How should we support experimentation without creating fragmentation? How can leadership stay aligned as impact grows? Without a shared way to reason through these decisions, choices begin to outpace clarity. This is where many IT and business leaders pause. Not to stop innovation, but to ask a more fundamental question: What does “scaling well” actually look like for us? A CIO‑level framework for deliberate scale Organizations that recognize themselves at this inflection point will want to read Microsoft’s Accelerator article, A CIO framework for scaling Copilot agents—a CIO‑level perspective designed for when agent adoption begins to scale. The framework explores: What changes as agents move from pilots to enterprise capability How leadership decisions evolve with scale How to balance flexibility with coherence How to guide growth before friction sets in It’s framed for CIOs and senior IT leaders who are thinking beyond approving the next agent build, who are focusing now on aligning teams, expectations, and operating models at scale. 👉 Read the full framework on Microsoft 365 Accelerator Discussion What signals tell you it’s time to move from experimenting with agents to planning for scale? Where does agent growth create the most tension in your organization today? What’s the one decision you wish had been clearer earlier in your agent journey? Microsoft 365 Accelerator is where planning conversations go deeper. If your organization is moving from “can we build this?” to “how do we scale this responsibly?”, Accelerator is where you want to go next.311Views0likes0Comments薇《T L 9 19 98》腾龙公司游戏注册网址

In financial services, it's rarely the value of a new technology that slows down adoption. More often, it's when productivity starts to outpace the policies designed to govern it. That tension is beginning to surface with Copilot Chat. Teams are finding real efficiency gains—faster research, clearer summaries, better preparation—while leaders ask a different question: What does responsible, repeatable adoption look like once usage expands across regulated roles? Those conversations usually appear when Copilot Chat becomes operational enough that ad hoc decisions feel insufficient. A new post on Microsoft 365 Accelerator is designed for that exact moment. How financial leaders are scaling Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat without increasing risk introduces a planning kit that shows financial services leaders how to scale Copilot Chat usage while keeping governance, audit readiness, and oversight intact. Instead of features, the kit is focused on the decisions and guardrails that help organizations move forward and use Copilot Chat with confidence. If you’re seeing strong demand from business teams and equally strong questions from risk or compliance teams, this kind of guidance brings those conversations together. 👉 Read the full planning guidance and explore the Copilot Chat kit on Microsoft 365 Accelerator. We'd like to know: At what point did Copilot Chat usage in your organization start raising governance or policy questions? Which decisions felt easy during early experimentation but harder once Copilot Chat became more widely used? How are you thinking about ownership and oversight as Copilot Chat moves beyond individual use cases? Tell us in the comments below. If this discussion feels familiar, you’re not alone. Microsoft 365 Accelerator is designed for the next phase—when teams start asking not just can we, but how do we do this well.164Views0likes0CommentsAre your users still running Office 2013 ProPlus?
If your organization has deployed Office ProPlus from your Office 365 subscription, you may still have some users who are running Office 2013 ProPlus. Not only are these users missing out on the new capabilities in Office 365, like Groups and Skype for Business, but there is something more important for you to be aware of…the end of support for Office 2013 ProPlus. As of February 28th, 2017, Office 2013 ProPlus will no longer be supported. Users running Office 2013 ProPlus will still receive critical security updates, but they will no longer receive product updates for new features that are added to the service. There is no automatic way to move from Office 2013 to Office 2016; however, Microsoft is here to help you transition to 2016 so you get access to mainstream support, as well as the latest features the service has to offer. Here are the steps you should follow: Get familiar with the Office channel release model. Office 2016 is shipping in multiple channels. These different release channels allow you to control who in your organization gets the latest release, based on your needs. The First Release for Deferred Channel (FRDC) enables you to configure (per user) a group of early adopters. This group will get the latest and greatest features four months in advance of a Deferred Channel (DC) release. Premier Support escalates any cases related to the FRDC build directly to the Office engineering team, so that issues can be addressed prior to the DC release. The DC is made available only a few times a year (instead of every month) and is best for organizations that don't want to deploy the latest features of Office right away or that have a significant number of LOB applications, add-ins, or macros that need to be tested. This approach helps to avoid compatibility issues that can potentially stall deployments. Start testing FRDC now, if you plan to roll out the DC June release. Visit TechNet for more detailed information about channels and the client servicing model. Determine which of your users are still running Office 2013. Upgrading from Office 2013 to Office 2016 is not an automated process. If you are an Office 365 admin, you need to determine which of your users are still running Office 2013. Once you have identified these users, you will need to uninstall Office 2013 and reinstall Office 2016 for each of them. Start a group of users on the First Release builds. This group could include the IT team or early adopters, and gives them an opportunity to get comfortable with the new capabilities and test any LOB integrations that are critical to your business. If your users find any potential issues, they can open a CSS support incident. We actively monitor First Release tickets to more quickly escalate issues to the product engineering team. Contact the FastTrack Center to get assistance for your Office 365 ProPlus deployment. They will provide assistance to help you upgrade 2013 clients to 2016 and ensure you are on the latest service managed client. You can review the FastTrack Benefit Overview to learn more about how to work remotely with Microsoft specialists to get your Office 365 environment ready for use, as well as to plan rollout and usage within your organization. The FastTrack Center can provide you with assistance in testing, repackaging, and distributing Office 365 2016 ProPlus or help you to validate your deployment approach with a Microsoft engineer. To request assistance, go to the FastTrack site, select the Services tab, and submit the Request Office 2016 ProPlus Upgrade Assistance form. Additionally, you can contact your Microsoft sales representative or Technical Account Manager for assistance.Solved5.4KViews5likes7CommentsCPAi Advisors + Copilot Frontier: Accounting Meets Agent Mode
Hey all — I’m Dan, founder of CPAi Advisors, where boutique accounting meets workflow automation and Microsoft Copilot. I spent years in public company accounting, working across GL, AP/AR, reporting, and compliance — plus deep ERP integrations and technical troubleshooting. After seeing firsthand how manual and fragmented financial workflows can be, I decided to go out on my own and build something smarter: a boutique firm powered by Microsoft 365 Business Premium + Copilot. Now I’m exploring how Office Agent (Frontier) can take things further — not just chat in Word or Excel, but actually carry context across apps and orchestrate real accounting tasks. Here’s what I’m testing: Agent Mode in Excel → financial models, ledger reconciliation, anomaly detection Agent Mode in Word → client-ready reports that pull live spreadsheet data Agent Mode in Outlook → turning email threads into task lists and audit prep Cross-app orchestration → one prompt that builds a report, updates the spreadsheet, and drafts the email 💡 Focus: Copilot in accounting workflows Automating compliance & audit readiness Bridging trust in AI for financial advisory Pushing Agent Mode beyond the obvious Excited to share feedback and help shape what’s next. Let’s make accounting workflows smarter — and a little more fun. Take care & be well!134Views0likes0CommentsMy hotmail account is blocked by Microsoft
My Hotmail account has been blocked by Microsoft due to “unusual activity,” and I urgently need help. I’ve attempted recovery multiple times, but the phone verification system is not working and all my requests keep getting rejected with the reason "that information I provided was not sufficient enough". I also have an active Microsoft 365 subscription tied to this email, and I can no longer access any of my Office 365 services. This issue needs immediate resolution.223Views0likes1CommentIntermittent Delay in Loading Files Tab in Microsoft Teams Channels
Description: Within our municipality, we are experiencing an intermittent issue where the Files tab in Microsoft Teams channels takes >5 seconds to load. This behavior appears to be random and is not tied to specific users, devices, or locations. We have conducted several internal checks and can confirm the following: The issue occurs in both small and large Teams channels, regardless of the number of files or folders. It affects various Surface laptops, so it does not appear to be device-specific. It happens both inside and outside our municipal buildings, ruling out local network dependency. We exclusively use Microsoft products, including Surface devices, Microsoft Defender, and Intune for device management. We would like to know: Is this a known issue within Microsoft Teams? Are there specific tenant-level settings or Intune configurations that could influence the performance of the Files tab? Are there any recommended diagnostics or optimizations we can apply to improve consistency? We appreciate any guidance or insights you can provide. Kind regards, Dick Noort Advisor Information Services96Views0likes0CommentsReady to accelerate your Zero Trust journey? Discover what’s next
