SharePoint sync issues when opening from File Explorer
Hi there, Some users in my company are having issues with files not syncing with SharePoint when they save them and are also unable to concurrently edit files. They open the files via File Explorer and the 'autosave' functionality is disabled. Enabling autosave prompts them to save as a new copy. These users have recently switched to a new laptop running Windows 11 (previous laptop was Windows 10) and had no sync issues when using the old laptop. If the user first opens Excel/Word and then uses the File menu to open the document then the autosave is enabled and the file syncs with SharePoint. Here are some of the troubleshooting steps I've tried: stopping the sync and starting it again unlinking the pc and re-syncing the SharePoint site uninstalling and re-installing OneDrive Has anyone come across this issue or know of a fix that I haven't tried yet? Regards, SteveReplying to emails from M365 Outlook group
A problem I am stumped with, so I am reaching out for some help/guidance. One group wants to not have the emails going into their own inbox but manage and reply only from the group inbox itself (so they know the email has been processed by deleting it once replied). It worked OK to begin with and then some users couldn't reply, then more. Some still can. I have tried reindexing local copy, using browser instead of app & changing the send on behalf of permissions. Owner or member of group doesn't seem to make a difference. Error messages include "This message can't be sent because it no longer exists. It can only be discarded. Make sure you copy the contents of the message before you discard if you want to use them later." and "Couldn't send this message". Please see screenshots attached. My questions: 1: Is Outlook on M365 designed to allow users to reply from the group either as the "group" or as themselves? Information I found isn't clear. 2: If it is / can be - what can I do to make it work for all users? Thanks!
M365 Copilot Android Application Not Working
I am using a Samsung S24 FE phone, and the Microsoft Copilot app is not working. When I open the app, I only see a black screen. I cannot open any menus. I cannot create or search for anything. There is only an empty home screen with dead buttons. I cannot sign out of my current account, nor can I figure out which account I am signed into (it logs in automatically). Here’s what I have already tried, but the issue persists: Enabled all permissions in the app settings. Deleted and reinstalled the app. Cleared the app cache and reopened it. Cleared the app data and reopened it.MS Outlook app on Apple Watch SE
I have an Apple Watch SE (A2355) and the MS Outlook app cannot be installed on it anymore. It was an excellent way to access my work calendar on the go. The reason is that the OS version is 10.6 but 11 is needed. Is there a workaround or a fix for this? Note that I can't use Apple Calendar because my employer has disabled the Outlook calendar sharing function for security reasons.
My 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.Effortless Time Tracking in Teams, Outlook and M365 Copilot
How do you stay in the flow of work when tasks move across Teams, Outlook and now M365 Copilot? Many of us already collaborate and manage our day in these Microsoft 365 tools, but logging time often feels like something separate that interrupts our focus. With https://www.klynke.com/ time tracking stays right where your work happens. It runs inside Teams, Outlook and M365 Copilot, creating one consistent and natural experience for logging hours without leaving your workflow. We shared more in our blog: https://www.klynke.com/post/log-time-in-teams-outlook-copilot, and were grateful that Microsoft featured our story in a Tech Community interview: Building Secure SaaS on Microsoft Cloud. A quick look under the hood Microsoft 365 SSO (Entra ID) – Employees sign in with their existing credentials Tenant-based storage and security – Data stays within your Microsoft 365 tenant, under IT control Native experience – Same workflow in Teams, Outlook and M365 Copilot Simple reporting – Export to Excel, Power BI or dashboards How do you currently manage time tracking in Microsoft 365? Would having it built directly into Teams, Outlook and M365 Copilot make a difference in your day? CTO at KlynkePowerPoint: Restore “Align” and “Distribute” tools in PP for iPad (v2.103)
Dears, I am reporting a critical regression in PowerPoint for iPad. In the current release (version 2.103), the essential Align and Distribute tools appear to have been completely removed from the UI. These features were part of the full ribbon in previous versions and are fundamental for precise, professional, efficient, effective, and smooth slide layout. Without them, basic layout tasks can no longer be performed smoothly on the iPad. The removal of core layout tools feels like an unexpected downgrade. This change significantly reduces the usability of PowerPoint on this platform and may even force users to switch to lower-tier apps such as Keynote and others for very basic editing tasks. I am fully aware that iPadOS is often perceived as a lightweight or “consumer-first” environment. Ironically, it is precisely the professional quality of Microsoft’s applications that has made the iPad a serious productivity device for many of us. Please keep this standard high – it is the reason why the iPad can function as a genuine professional workstation rather than a creative toy. I kindly request that Microsoft restores the full ribbon or provides an option to access these tools again. Thank you very much, Marco
Microsoft Publisher end date.
Here is a novel idea. If Microsoft is going to terminate Publisher in 2026, it would make sense for the programmers of Word to actually create an import function for Publisher files that faithfully creates the file in word. This is the opposite of forcing the end user to find ALL the previous Publisher files and convert them to pdf or Word.
