My Microsoft Form is not able to sync to an Excel file
Hi, I am having trouble as when I try to open the results of a form that I made into an Excel is giving me the following error "It wasn't possible to open Excel online, You can still download a copy to visualize the responses on Excel" (translated from my native language so the message might be a bit different). I am able to download the form as an excel but I cannot open a website version of it, this form was made using a personal email address and Microsoft account. I cannot share the link to the forms as it has personal information that would not be allowed to share in a public setting.

MS FORM NOT RECIEVING EMAIL TO SAY RESPONSE SUBMITTED
Hi i have a colleague who has an MS Form, the form lives in a group and the option of get email response when form is submitted is selected, there is no email getting created, we have unticked box, come out od the form and responded, went back into form and turned on get email response back on, but those responses are not being received. this form was functioning fine up to last thursday. the form has not been moved or renamed and its only received 350 submissions. can anyone offer any thoughts pleaseBranched answers not part of final score?
Hello. I have a quiz with a branched question. Depending on the answer outcome, the quiz will progress downwards and everything works. My issue is when the final score is tallied, this branched question is not being auto-graded so I am not receiving a 100% but only 95%. I have indicated any answer will be fine for this branched question since it's directional. So I'm looking for this question and answer to be bypassed during final scoring, or automatically include it as a correct answer as part of the final score. Currently, it's not being graded but counted as a question without an answer (I assume?)
Personal account. Forms will not let me edit etc
Hi, I have tried to go via Microsoft help, they have said there is no issue with my account. I have a personal account, set up some forms a while ago which have been working fine. Yesterday when a user when to complete the form it said - The account associated with this form has been blocked. I can see the Forms I have created and have ownership of. I cant edit, copy, save or see responses on them. Have tried different browsers, private etc but still can't do anything.
Disabling Copilot in Forms not possible
Hi everyone, Not sure if this has been addressed before - I couldn’t find anything about it in this forum. Since Copilot is now integrated into Microsoft Forms, there doesn’t seem to be any option to disable it (like in Word, Excel, Powerpoint). What I find frustrating is that every time I open a previously saved form, Copilot automatically runs checks and generates recommendations—which, in my experience, aren’t particularly useful. More concerning is that this process does consume AI credits. I'm on a personal plan with 60 credits, I’d prefer to have control over how and when those are used, rather than having them spent automatically on features I didn’t explicitly choose to use. Microsoft support has confirmed that there’s currently no way to turn Copilot off in Forms. Is anyone else experiencing this, and isn't this something Microsoft should address? Thanks!
Forms Governance
Is there any plan to improve Forms governance for administrators and users at large organizations? It feels like several of the back-end underpinnings of Forms are still living in the "consumer product" governance model, versus an "enterprise product" one. Such as: Giving admins more than 30 days to recover an orphaned form from a terminated employee before it's gone. Currently after this time period the best-effort approach seems to be to do an e-discovery hoping to find the results file so at least previous answers and a roadmap for re-creation of the form questions can be provided. Actually https://feedbackportal.microsoft.com/feedback/idea/8f957a1e-7bbd-ed11-83ff-000d3a1ab7d1 users during the Form creation process to make a form group-owned if it's intended for something more than personal use cases. Allowing the https://feedbackportal.microsoft.com/feedback/idea/7516877b-4abe-ed11-83ff-000d3a1f8608. https://feedbackportal.microsoft.com/feedback/idea/7ae16276-4abe-ed11-83ff-000d3a1ab5c3, prompt user when they're approaching the limit, and give users a bulk way to delete old forms/quizzes/polls to get back under the ceiling. Allowing https://feedbackportal.microsoft.com/feedback/idea/6c9cc40a-7bbd-ed11-83ff-002248273995. Improving the types of survey questions and integration into Powerpoint to come closer to the capabilities of 3rd party products like Slido. Many of these capabilities/features/management tools have been being asked for for years. Quite frankly, we administrators are much more interested in these kinds of nuts and bolts core functions than integrating animated backgrounds/sounds and other window-dressing bells and whistles. Would love to hear others' perspectives and hopefully this will catch the eye of someone with the product group. Thanks!
I am Facing Microsoft form related issue
I am Facing Microsoft form related issue, I can see when I am downloading a Excel copy some columns are blank. This is my survey form, and I cannot add manually however this will reflect manipulation in data, as this is technical glitch need assistant from your side on urgent basisFeature Request – Read-only and Locked Fields for Pre-filled Microsoft Forms
Microsoft Forms has recently introduced support for pre-filled responses, which is a very valuable addition. However, the lack of read-only fields significantly limits its usability in real-world and enterprise application scenarios. In many workflows, especially those involving bots, kiosks, or guided user interactions, some fields must be pre-populated with system-generated data such as user identity, email, or contextual information. These fields need to remain visible to the user for transparency, but must not be editable in order to guarantee data integrity and prevent tampering. Currently, there is no reliable way to enforce this behavior. Even when using pre-filled URLs, users can still modify the values before submission. This creates a risk of data inconsistency and makes it difficult to maintain a secure and synchronized interaction between the client and backend systems. This is not just a UX limitation, but also a data integrity issue in integrated workflows. As a result, developers are forced to implement server-side validation and ignore user-provided values for critical fields, which defeats the purpose of pre-filling them in the first place. This forces developers to rely entirely on server-side validation, reducing the effectiveness of pre-filled data and introducing unnecessary complexity. While Power Apps can address this limitation, it is often too complex and heavy for simple scenarios where Microsoft Forms would otherwise be perfectly adequate. Suggested improvement: - Allow form fields to be marked as read-only or locked - Optionally support hidden or system fields - Allow pre-filled values to be protected against tampering - Preserve compatibility with pre-filled URLs This feature would enable Microsoft Forms to be used in secure, system-driven workflows without requiring migration to more complex platforms.
