Math Assistant in OneNote M365 no longer calculates results
I’m a mathematics professor in higher education, and I’ve relied heavily on OneNote for Windows 10 — especially its Math Assistant feature — to support my teaching. While we teach at the university level, the mathematics involved is foundational: from basic first-degree equations to partial derivatives of multivariable functions, limits, definite and indefinite integrals, 2D graphing, and inequality plots. This isn’t advanced research mathematics — it’s core material for management and accounting students. In the previous version of OneNote, I could write an equation, click “Math,” and immediately get the final result. That was extremely helpful for classroom demonstrations and student self-checking. In the current version (OneNote M365), the “Math” button still appears, and it does solve simple equations — but it fails to graph more complex functions and is significantly slower than the previous version. Is Microsoft working to restore the ability to calculate final results and draw 2D graphs reliably, as the previous version did? This feature is essential for teaching and productivity. I appreciate any clarification. Best regards, José Maria E. G. Salazar Instituto Superior de Contabilidade e Administração de Lisboa (ISCAL)
Microsoft 365 Apps admin center - No Devices Being Managed?
We are an Office 365 E3 customer, and have configured Cloud Update for our devices. However, devices are not updating, and I see the message "0/27 devices are being managed by Cloud". Any idea what I need to do to get updates rolling out? Thanks!
Microsoft 365 Apps Admin Center - Inventory Errors Out
Been running into issues the last few days as I try to swap a handful of devices to a different update channel. I'm able to browse to the Microsoft 365 Apps Admin Center (https://config.office.com/), however when I go to Inventory it throws a generic error (it's been happening for 3 days now): There was a problem showing the security update status information. Please refresh the page or try again later. 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000 This was working earlier this week (Tuesday 5/13/25) but as of Wednesday it was "broken". Checking to see if other folks are running into this or if we're just the lucky ducks. Several of us within the organization have run into the same error so it's not isolated to any one individual.
Microsoft Sway - Restricting Access to Templates
Hi all, We are assessing the usage of Sway for internal project and change communications, and have a concern that those with access to Sway could create content which does not follow internal approved designs and patterns. Are there mechanisms in place to allow us to control which templates the content creator could use as a baseline for their content, whether that involves access to explicitly approved templates only (workflows for approvals??), or restricting access to marketplace or generally available content? TIA GeoffIs there a way to hide Microsoft 365 Copilot?
Hello, We are not quite ready to roll out Microsoft 365 Copilot to our end users. Is there a way to hide the Microsoft 365 Copilot icon from the M365 Home page - specifically the 9 dot icon? We still need to roll out the security labels in our organization.
