User 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.User profile
It used to be possible to click on a user's icon and find out a little bit about them, including their profile, if they wrote one. Now, the only profile I can see is my own, and I can only see that when I'm logged in. What good is a profile if only the user can see it? Maybe I'm missing a setting someplace. John
Windows 11 lock screen bug
We are having an issue where some users cannot log back into windows 11 after going to a lock screen. Windows will tell you the password or username is incorrect even though the credentials are defiantly correct. The only solution I've found so far is to reboot the machine. What could be causing this? Our users are loosing unsaved work from having to reboot through out the day.
Switching Tenants/Profiles in Office for the Mac
I have accounts in multiple M365 tenants. I use a Mac. When I edit a document, I need to make sure the edits are occurring from the account in the correct tenant. I cannot figure out how to change my active account in Word (or other Office applications) so it is from a specific tenant. How do I do this? I know how to do it on a PC, and it works perfectly. I NEED that same functionality on the Mac.

Certification tied to MS Learn account that cannot be logged into despite email access
Greetings, Hoping to get some help with this. Sort of a doom loop. Going in circles with support via ticketing system for weeks now. Certification expires in 5 days or so. Background: In September 2024, earned SC-200 and it was associated with my work email/Microsoft account. Still have access to that email/account. Nothing has changed. Problem: Now, when logging in with the email address/Microsoft Account that the certification was earned under, I get a new Microsoft learn profile with no accomplishments, training records, etc. I have complete records, including screen shots, emails, receipts for exam payment, etc. I confirmed with Pearson that my email address is associated with the exam attempt. Support has escalated the ticket to some higher level, but this hasn't gone anywhere yet.Default Profile not setting Backgroud
Hello, this is driving me nuts! I'm just preparing our template for Windows Server 2025 VM rollout. I try to set a solid background in the default profile (c:\uses\default\ntuser.dat), so every new user gets this as default background. I have set HKCU\Control Panel\Colors Background REG_SZ 50 84 154 HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop Wallpaper REG_SZ HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\DesktopSpotlight\Settings EnabledState DWORD 0 HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Wallpapers BackgroundType DWORD 1 but every new user/profile still gets the windows default background image (C:\WINDOWS\web\wallpaper\Windows\img0.jpg). Don't want to use GPOs, as the setting should be optional. All other settings from teh default profile copy all right. Anyone any idea? Thanx! Cheers __Leo
