OneNote - Location, Name, Resolving Backup (& Search dropdown)
I recently had a problem with the Search function in OneNote - where Search was not finding words in recently created Notes. And I fixed that problem, eventually, by deleting all of the files in the OneNote cache. But after that, when restarting OneNote, it came up Empty (with Errors). After jacking around with copying the old OneNote folder and renaming it, Opening Backups, etc. - I finally got my OneNote back up and working (sort of - see paragraph at the end). My problem now is the "Info" is showing 2 Notebooks - "OneNote Notebooks 4" and "OneNote Notebooks 2" - and even worse, the location shown for Notebooks 4 is: https://onedrive.live.com/view.aspx?resid=562C6E59%21s0bcbd9618347485ca665bf8f3012d298&id=documents&end=()&end. I created Notebooks 4 on the advice for another post to get things running again - but, WHERE AM I? - which Notebook am I using? How do I get back to a single notebook at a reasonable location instead of the ridiculous link above. I also have a question about the OneNote locations shown in the "Save & Backup" option - I don't understand a couple of things there. [And a side note - even though OneNote Search is now working, the dropdown list is now showing the full path name for the Note location instead of the Page/Tab name for the location of the Note. Is there some option that I reset while trying to get OneNote working again.] I obviously need help with this one - and am afraid to mess around experimenting since OneNote is back up and working well (except for the dropdown). ron in shawnee
More than 30 minutes to install a language pack?
Happy new year to everyone. Is it normal that the Windows 365 PC , 2 core with 8GB RAM takes more than 30 minutes (still running) to install a language pack? I see lots of online discussions stating that the disk performance is terrible for this configuration and hence the performance. Any suggestions or words of advice would be appreciated.
Cannot Access Windows Hardware Developer Program in Partner Center — How to Sign Drivers in 2025?
Hi all, I'm trying to sign a Windows driver and need access to the Microsoft Windows Hardware Developer Program. **What I'm trying to achieve:** - Sign a driver for Windows using the standard Microsoft hardware signing process. **The issue:** - When I try to register for the Windows Hardware Developer Program, I get a message saying "Hardware Program is already in Active state". - However, when I go to Programs > Settings in Microsoft Partner Center, the Hardware Developer Program is NOT visible/available. - I have Global Admin permissions, and I’ve also tried using an account with Owner permissions — no difference, the Hardware Program is missing from the list. **My question:** - How do I get access to the Windows Hardware Developer Program if it's "Active" but not visible in the Partner Center? - Is there any way to manage or join the Hardware Program in 2025 if it's not listed? - Is there an alternative process for signing Windows drivers now? Any up-to-date guidance for 2025 would be super helpful. Any advice or escalation contacts would be highly appreciated! Thanks in advance.
Map only local drives and default printer from clients computer when logging into 365 Desktop?
Hello, I have gone into Intune and created a new config profile and have set Windows Components > Remote Desktop Services > Remote Desktop Session Host > Printer Redirection \ Device and resource redirection to let the users map drives and printers that are on their laptop into Windows 365 Desktop. However, how can we set it so that: 1. The only printers that are mapped to the 365 desktops from the client's device is the clients default printer and not any network printers that are installed on the laptop. 2. The only drives it maps into 365Desktop are the clients local drives like their SSD drive, and usb drives pluged in and not any network drives that are on the laptop.
26 ноября
Здравствуйте! Хочу обратиться в службу поддержки с целью продвинуть компанию Microsoft. Дело в том, что мой друг сегодня активировал Windows, чему предшествовало огромное количество шуток на эту тему. Я создал google-форму, а точнее петицию, в которой призываю граждан любой страны утвердить 26 ноября как праздник "Активации Windows". Я бы хотел, чтобы вы рассмотрели мою идею и, как основная сторона, согласились на это, а также расширили этот опрос в больших кругах. Прикрепляю ссылку на google-формы: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfrlFcap22IUJhrLBeRp4C8tAcxlGRY_AMPVqxcQJjwxPB4Tg/viewform?usp=publish-editor С уважение, Дмитрий Translation: Hello! I want to contact support in order to promote Microsoft. The thing is, my friend activated Windows today, which was preceded by a huge number of jokes about it. I created a Google form, or rather a petition, in which I urge citizens of any country to establish November 26 as "Windows Activation" Day. I would like you to consider my idea and, as the main party, agree to it, as well as help spread this survey more widely.

Hi all, I've implemented watermarking on our Windows 365 setup using the official Microsoft guide, and I'm seeing behaviour that I'd like to confirm is expected. Current Situation: Watermarking is enabled and working (QR codes appear when I screenshot from my local client PC) However, when taking screenshots FROM WITHIN the Cloud PC session itself, no QR codes appear Similarly, when screen sharing via Teams from within the Cloud PC session, participants don't see the QR codes My Question: Is this the intended behaviour? Should QR codes only appear when capturing externally (from the client device) but not when capturing internally (from within the Windows 365 session itself)? I've read through the Microsoft documentation but can't find explicit clarification on whether internal screenshots should show watermarks or if the protection is specifically designed for external capture attempts. Can anyone confirm this behaviour or point me to official documentation that explains the internal vs external capture distinction? Thanks in advance!Microphone & camera passthrough to Cloud PC from MacBook
I have a M1 MacBook Pro that I use to connect to my Cloud PC for work via the Microsoft App. I try to use the Teams app installed locally on the Cloud PC for making and accepting calls but I am having a lot of audio issues. First of all, the person I am calling sounds very tinny (kinda like a chipmunk!) and they cannot hear me. Video doesn't seem to work properly either. I have had very little luck with my external webcam (some Logitech one, don't actually know the model but I don't think it makes a difference? but it has a microphone). There has the very odd few times that a call is working fine but then after a few seconds or so, or when I start sharing my screen on the Cloud PC after a minute of the call starting, I start to experience the same issues with audio as explained above. I am running Sequoia 15.6, the Mac Windows App is version 11.1.5 (2585). Admittedly I've mostly tried in clamshell mode and connected to external earphones (AirPods Pro). I used to use my earphones via the Citrix app on VDI with no issues previously. Any solutions would be gratefully received. Thank you
