187 TopicsIssue with "Edit with Paint 3D" Functionality
I have recently encountered an issue with Paint 3D. When I try to edit a picture using Paint 3D by right-clicking on the photo and selecting "Edit with Paint 3D," I am unexpectedly prompted to choose an app to open the file instead of Paint 3D launching directly. Has anyone else experienced this problem, or does anyone have any insights on why this might be happening and how to resolve it? Thank you for your assistance! Following was done: Reinstall Paint 3D Open Microsoft Store: Go to the Start menu and open the Microsoft Store. Search for Paint 3D: In the search bar, type "Paint 3D." Reinstall Paint 3D: If the app is installed, you can click "Open." If it’s not installed or you suspect it might be corrupted, click "Install" or "Get" to reinstall it. Ensure Paint 3D is Enabled Open Settings: Press Win + I to open Settings. Go to Apps: Navigate to "Apps" and then "Apps & features." Find Paint 3D: Scroll through the list of installed apps to find "Paint 3D." Ensure It’s Enabled: If you find it, make sure it’s not disabled. If it is, re-enable it. Associate Image Files with Paint 3D Manually Right-click on the Image File: Right-click on an image file. Select Properties: Choose "Properties" from the context menu. Change the Default Program: In the Properties window, click the "Change" button next to "Opens with." Manually Find Paint 3D: Click "More apps" if Paint 3D is not listed. Scroll down and click "Look for another app on this PC." Navigate to C:\Program Files\WindowsApps and look for the Paint 3D executable. Note that you may need administrative permissions to access this folder. Use the Default Apps Settings Open Settings: Press Win + I to open Settings. Go to Apps: Navigate to "Apps" and then "Default apps." Reset Default Apps: Scroll down and click "Reset" under "Reset to the Microsoft recommended defaults." Change Defaults Manually: After resetting, try setting Paint 3D as the default app for your image files again. Check for System Updates Open Settings: Press Win + I to open Settings. Go to Update & Security: Navigate to "Update & Security." Check for Updates: Click "Check for updates" and install any available updates. Sometimes updates can fix issues with system apps like Paint 3D. 1. Check if Paint 3D is Installed Correctly Open PowerShell as Administrator: Press Win + X and select "Windows PowerShell (Admin)." Check Installation: Enter the following command to check if Paint 3D is installed: powershell Copy code Get-AppxPackage *Microsoft.MSPaint* | Select Name, PackageFullName If Paint 3D is listed, it’s installed. If not, proceed to reinstall it. Reinstall Paint 3D: Uninstall Paint 3D using PowerShell: powershell Copy code Get-AppxPackage *Microsoft.MSPaint* | Remove-AppxPackage Reinstall from the Microsoft Store: Open the Microsoft Store, search for "Paint 3D," and install it. 2. Reset Paint 3D Open Settings: Press Win + I to open Settings. Go to Apps: Navigate to "Apps" > "Apps & features." Find Paint 3D: Scroll down and select "Paint 3D." Advanced Options: Click on "Advanced options." Reset: Click the "Reset" button. This will reset Paint 3D to its default state. 3. Create a New User Profile Open Settings: Press Win + I to open Settings. Go to Accounts: Navigate to "Accounts" > "Family & other users." Add Someone Else to This PC: Click on "Add someone else to this PC." Create a New User: Follow the prompts to create a new user account. Log In: Log out of your current account and log in with the new user account. Check if Paint 3D works correctly in the new profile. 4. Repair Windows Using DISM and SFC Open Command Prompt as Administrator: Press Win + X and select "Command Prompt (Admin)" or "Windows PowerShell (Admin)." Run DISM: Enter the following command to repair the Windows image: powershell Copy code DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth Wait for the process to complete.

Hi together, I've been actively contributing to the Microsoft Sentinel and Microsoft Security discussion categories over the past 3 weeks. My profile counter shows 9 posts, but I can only see one of them in my Recent Discussions list - the other ones are completely inaccessible, not just to other community members, but also to me. I cannot view, edit, or manage them in any way. The posts cover technical practitioner topics and I put significant time and effort into writing these as quality contributions for the community. My concern is that I have no way to tell what happened to these posts. There were no notifications about rejection, no indication that they're pending moderation, and no way to check their status. They simply don't appear anywhere except as a number on my profile. I completely understand the need for content moderation, especially for newer accounts. But without any feedback mechanism, I'm unable to determine whether I should wait, resubmit, or change something about how I'm posting. Could someone from the community team look into my account and help me understand what's going on with these missing posts? I'd really appreciate any guidance so I can continue contributing. Thank you!Solved61Views0likes2CommentsD365 Licensing vs Security Roles – Why can users access data without the required license?
I am working as a Power Apps developer in a Dynamics 365 environment that has the Field Service module enabled. In the same environment, some users only have Sales licenses. I assigned a security role that provides read access to the Warehouse table to a user with a Sales license. The user is able to access and read the data successfully, even though they do not have a Field Service license. This makes me unclear about how licensing is enforced in Dynamics 365. If security roles alone can grant access to tables, how do licenses actually restrict functionality? Why is it necessary to purchase additional licenses if users can still access data through security roles? Could someone clarify how licensing enforcement works in this scenario and what the best practice is?Impossible to sign in with different user account
I use this browser with two MS accounts. The techcommunity does not let me choose the user account to sign in with! I'm forced to open a private window to sign in and write this feedback. So when clicking Sign In, it thinks I want to sign in with my M365 company account, and asks me to accept certain permissions. However, I want to sign in with my personal MS account. So I click cancel and get redirected to the home page. So, in order to visit the site with my personal MS account, must either use a private windows, or clear every single cookie for every single Microsoft domain, which is also NOT what I want to do. This is simply unacceptable and driving me away from using the techcommunity at all! I made a video for you to show you how broken the sign in flow is: https://i.imgur.com/KnxnPKM.mp424KViews6likes17CommentsQuestion About Events, Azure, Copilot and Microsoft widgets
Hello! I am overly enthusiastic to learn more about this company, and I saw three events I'd like to attend in person as I cannot do anything online, I apologize. Does anyone know if there really is this Microsoft event on March 6th in Redmond? If not where is it as It is not coming up on the list or I cannot find it. I searched for azure events and about three came up, but after I scroll and the mouse timer comes up, nothing appears, is anyone interested in describing more about azure technology to me and how it works? I'll never tell! My last question is there is an event bsides seattle, I'm so confused is it at a hotel and how do you register because it's not listed on this platform. I wish I could do the online events like this was training, but it's better to do things in person always because it's more authentic. I tagged this as avatar, if you do not know anything about me just my love of tech what would my avatar be?69Views0likes1CommentHow Does Outlook Profile Information Work for Custom Domain Email Accounts?
Hi everyone, I am using Outlook with a professional email address connected to my website/domain, and I want to better understand how profile information works for this type of account. I am specifically trying to know: Where Outlook pulls profile details from for a custom domain email Whether profile information is managed in Outlook, Microsoft account settings, or Microsoft 365 admin settings Which profile details are visible to recipients when sending emails Whether there is a way to personalize the account profile for a more professional appearance I am looking for guidance especially for accounts using a domain-based business/professional email rather than a regular personal Outlook address. Thanks in advance.110Views0likes3CommentsEmail hacked - I lost total access
Hi community, I had my email hacked 7 days ago, the hacker changed the password. The problem is that I have microsoft office 365 in that account and I tried every single way to recover my access. Even the ACSR, forms and everything. Nothing works. I got replied back that information provided was insufficient. The problem also is that I created this account in hotmail, maybe 20 year ago. Does anyone know any how to contact Microsoft support? How can I find a channel to support me? Thanks in advance for any clue you might give me to solve this issue.Solved77Views0likes2CommentsUser Profiles
I thought the whole idea behind user profiles is to let users know a little bit about the person responding to their question/issue (i.e. background, qualifications, experience, etc.). That's what a dictionary defines as a "profile". Now I find my profile is only accessible to myself. I was told a change was made "to simplify privacy and security, so profiles now mainly serve as a personal space for managing your own activity and preferences." That just doesn't fit with the definition. If the information contained in a profile is to sensitive or personal for public viewing then it doesn't belong in a profile anyway. Please re-instate public viewing of user profiles.95Views0likes4CommentsEntra ID hacked
Dear Community, I am seeking urgent guidance regarding a serious security incident involving my Entra ID tenant. My tenant was compromised, and the attacker removed my Owner permissions from the Tenant Root Group and created two high-spec virtual machines without authorization. This resulted in approximately USD 9,500 in unexpected usage charges. I immediately blocked my credit card, and the subscription has now moved into a disabled state, most likely due to non-payment. However, I am still unable to regain administrative control. I previously managed to open a support ticket using another account, but it was limited to subscription-related issues only. Even when the case was marked with Severity A, Microsoft support was unable to treat it as an urgent incident or take immediate corrective action. At this point: • I only have read-only access • I cannot create a technical support request • I cannot upgrade the support plan • I cannot restore Owner permissions • I am unable to properly escalate the compromise If anyone has experienced a similar situation or knows the fastest way to: • Regain Tenant Root Group ownership • Reach Microsoft security team for compromised tenant cases • Escalate beyond standard support channels I would truly appreciate your advice. This has been extremely stressful, and I am trying to regain control and prevent any further damage. Thank you in advance for your support.Solved201Views1like1Comment
