We have a request from our corporate leadership to hide non-primary AD accounts from Teams search. Many of us in the IT team have multiple accounts (i.e. privileged access to certain platforms, developer accounts). The request is to have the ability to hide non-primary accounts from the directory/search. These accounts don't have email licenses, never log into Teams, etc. There used to be a "Hide from GAL" option in Exchange. Looking for something similar for AAD/M36561KViews3likes14CommentsIssue 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.

A user i'm helping is employed by and needs to switch between 3 organizations in Microsoft Teams. She is using the Teams app for Mac. When signing out of Teams she can only pick between the first two accounts used. The third account (tenant) will not show up in the account selection list. You would expect to be able to manage this list, or that it would atleast show the most recently used accounts. As it is now she has to manually type in the third account email+password+MFA each time. Is there a way to reset this list or make it show more than 2 accounts?16KViews0likes2CommentsImpossible 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.mp413KViews2likes12CommentsDownload Windows iso on Android sd card

Hi! My account has been banned from Microsoft Tech Community, which I believe was a mistake. My ban was due to "external ads/links not allowed on Tech Community." But I had posted only two comments, both relevant to the questions and containing links that could have provided a solution. I also saw a lot of different answers with links, and they were not banned. So, it makes me think that ban was an accident. Moreover, I did not find any rules, that I could have broken. I'm now seeking assistance on how to unban my account. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.Solved5.5KViews2likes8CommentsWindows 11 Insider Preview 10.0.22623.891 (ni_release) - Download error - 0x800f0806

I have a distribution list for our expense system and put myself and our marketing director as group owners. The hope was that she'd be able to manage the members of the group via https://myaccount.microsoft.com/groups/groups-i-own This seems to work with other groups but not this one. There aren't a ton of settings in Exchange/365 for distribution lists so there really isn't a lot of troubleshooting that can be done. Any idea why this group won't show up?4.1KViews0likes2Comments
