When I turn on my PC, my audio is working completely fine. But when I send it to sleep and wake it up again, the audio just flat out stops working. What is happening?!
Outlook Company-Wide Issue Users from different locations within the same company are experiencing issues with their Outlook.
Symptoms: There's a delay in sending emails. Sometimes, Outlook freezes when sending an email or when creating a meeting invite.
Troubleshooting: We've checked the network configuration and tried an external network, but the issue persists. We've also tried downgrading MS Office, yet the problem remains.
I couldn't find anything related to this issue on Google or Reddit. It seems like this might be the first occurrence. We've reached out to Microsoft for help, but they haven't been helpful;
Has anyone else experienced this company-wide issue with Outlook?
Good morning, I would like to create an automation with Power Automate.
This automation should be for a company and it should be about capturing data from an email with 1-2 clicks and inserting it into an Excel spreadsheet.
The automation should make it possible to scan application emails and save the phone number, email and name of the applicants and insert them into an Excel spreadsheet.
It should not happen automatically after an application email is received. It should be a manually executed process.
For example, you add a button to the context menu that you can trigger as soon as you click on the email.
We also think that they work with Outlook, so everything runs harmoniously with Microsoft programs.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to do this? Or is it even possible with Power Automate?
Many thanks in advance
Hello! I recently started using the new outlook on my Mac. I put in a whole month of events and now I cannot get anything to sync to my phone calendars. Only stuff from the old outlook is syncing to my phone. Someone please help I’m desperate!
Also as I switch back and forth between the two versions on my Mac it’s like both versions are completely independent of each other.
Please someone help! Thank you in advance!
Hi all!
My surface pro 9 has been having major issues when waking up from sleep (when I restart or start from shut down mode there is no issue).
The mouse cursor will lag immensely as if there is high latency, frame drop, or other lagging issue. Along with typing, dragging windows, etc.
There is also a problem where the right part of the screen (where the notifications menu usually would pop up) will have a black box pop of for a few milliseconds and then dissappear.
Anyone having these issues or know of any fixes?
No available updates, I’ve run the fixer and no issues are found, and I’ve redownloaded the drivers for the intel cpu.
I dont know if its just me but it feels like my PC has only just now started shitting out and bricking up for no reason after getting this forced copilot software installed on my computer. (LIKE I NEED AN AI FORCIBLY INSTALLED WHEN THERES ABOUT A MILLION OTHER COOKIE-CUTTER AI SOFTWARE ONLINE RN) It takes about a million years for anything to load now, and I just had to reboot my PC because it started going dead-tortoise-slow, then the taskbar started messing up for 0 reason, then gave me a blank brown screen and I couldnt do anything. It PREVIOUSLY forced me to reboot my PC 5 times, and on 3rd reboot it told me for no reason whatsoever "we werent able to repair your PC, something something cant launch" then i reboot it , it reboots on its own again, and then launches fine. So why was it even telling me that? I never got anything like that before and never did anything to get that, my life has been the most boring shit the past year so really nothing I installed or did on my PC has caused this. AI is so cancerous, tumorous, unreliable and broken that I legit think this update has fried everything. It spreads like cancer we dont need EVERY company forcing their own version of AI chode down our throats
I recently got a BSOD about ndu.sys no longer working. I restarted my computer and tried to log in, but got stuck in the “Welcome” message upon logging in.
As I’m typing this, I tried booting my PC up in safe mode, and it’s stuck on “Wait”
I have no idea what to do. Please help
Is there some matrix explaining who can turn on transcription on MS Teams?
We've been using MS CoPilot for a little over a month and it seems confusing when we can setup transcription in meetings for use with CoPilot.
Generally, it appears that.
But...
I'm hearing from other user that they are able to turn on transcription in meetings they're only attendees in though. I have the permissions set to record all meetings that I attend, yet I cannot turn on transcriptions. Some are reportign they cannot turn on transcription in meetings they actually setup.
What affects whether transcription can be turned on in MS Teams?
Hello! I was trying to register as an independent developer through the partner center. For payment, I was offered the choice of promo code or credit card. I tried entering the code on an xbox gift card i bought, but it wouldn't accept it. Can I use this, or do I need to use a credit card?
Thanks!
Apologies if this has been asked and answered, I did search for a thread on the same issue but didn't find a solution for my problem.
When importing photos from my iPhone to my PC using Microsoft's Photos application, it used to be that the images would get imported into a new folder, and the photos would be ordered in the same way as they were in my iPhone library (i.e., chronologically). However, now when I import photos, there doesn't appear to be any rhyme or reason to the order in which they are being imported. In addition to this, when the Photos application scans my iPhone for images and then provides the option to upload "New" versus "All" images on my iPhone, the number of files indicated next to "All" is not the same as the number of files my iPhone indicates is in my photo library. This leaves me nervous that some files are not being scanned and, therefore, are not being uploaded.
We recently welcomed our first child, so you can imagine how many photos and videos I am taking on my phone... Which means I am frequently importing new photos and videos on my laptop to have the backup. But given the lack of chronological ordering, and the discrepancy between the number of files the Photos application is recognizing, I am concerned that there may be photos/videos that aren't getting uploaded, and that I may accidentally delete something off my phone that hasn't been backed up onto my PC. To avoid this, I have been painstakingly going through the folder of uploaded images to ensure a particular photo/video is, in fact, backed up, before I delete it off my phone to free up storage space. With a newborn, this is just far too time-consuming. Is there a way to fix the import process, so that the photos/videos imported are ordered chronologically, so I can check/have confidence that everything I'm trying to upload is, in fact, uploaded? And is there some explanation for why the number of photos that the Photos application recognizes for "All" of my iPhone library is not the same as the number shown in my iPhone library itself?
FYI, I'm running Windows 11, and using an iPhone 8 Plus with iOS 16.7.6 (will update when I have the storage available to do so...). I'm also not spectacularly tech-savvy, I'm a fairly standard user, so a straightforward fix (or a very detailed explanation of a less straightforward fix) would be ideal.
TIA!

Trying to refine a process to save time…
I want to create a QR code for some products. On scanning it will ask users to input some details. These details will then be available for overview on a Word document on Sharepoint.
I’ve no idea what this is called to even search for a tutorial.
I know how to make a QR code from MS Forms but can I duplicate the form? Ie the questions are the same but the products are not, so I want the output to be per product, not collective.
Any advice to then push the output to make the data available in a Word doc directly onto Sharepoint would also be great, or suggestions of what I can google to narrow down a tutorial!
A question.
A fair bit of Googling hasn’t found me an answer. We are using office 2019 and PowerPoint to create digital displays. I have embedded a live YouTube feed to display sky news in the reception lobby, which works okay. But I have noticed that the videos require Internet Explorer to play. Is there a way around this? Or are PowerPoint embedded videos doomed?
Is there a way to get a ping when someone adds something to a list in To-Do? (I use the version attached to my email on out look.com)

I know this may be a dumb question, I am planning on bare-metal installing linux on an old and/or new Windows computer. Can I reuse the Microsoft Product Key from that old and/or new Windows computer and use it for another build or VM?
Is it normal to pay $69.99/year for this? I really only need Word and maybe Excel… is there a cheaper option? Appreciate any advice!
I have an iPhone and I back up my pictures to Google Photos currently so when I log onto my PC, I can see the photos instantly.
I tried using OneDrive, however, it seems as if there is a lag, or I need to manually prompt the picture upload to view on my PC.
Is it possible to get an instant upload like Google Photos on OneDrive?
Hi, I noticed today on Microsoft Authentificator that apps registered for 2FA have a round icon with HT marked. For example if I added Instagram on authentificator, the logo or icon is HT with a colored background. This wasn't the case before
Is this normal?
My school deactivated all google accounts 3 months ago and then I realized my windows also suddenly got locked out.
I cannot even get into the desktop because it says: "You can't sign in with this account. Try a different account".
The issue is there is no account with admin priviledge so cannot even log-in safe mode or open command prompts.
Just really weird there is no easy way to fix the error. Any ideas? Or is it gameover?
In my PC, Microsoft Edge does not open when I click on it. It just stays as a minimized window in the taskbar. How can I fix this issue?
Need help with this as I'm unable to select ports in software due which I am not able to upload the code to my external device.
