    Web Account Manager WAM and "Run as different user" doesn't work


    Web Account Manager WAM doesn't appear to support Windows's "Run as different user" feature. This is evident in VS Code, see https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/241391 I would like to be able to run VS Code as a different AD domain user but have settings sync to the same Entra ID account work. This workflow worked with VS Code's "classic" "microsoft-authentication.implementation" but does not with WAM / "msal".To reproduce:On Windows 11, with 2 sparate ADon-prem/Entra hybrid users A and B. VSCode installed using the system installer.Log into Windows with B and configure VS Code

    :)

    Windows doesn`t start. Authomatic repair doesn`t work.

    Thanks again!!

    I`m sorry I had not noticed that the text on the picture was in spanish. It says that windows has replaced some damaged clusters in "name" file and "directory". Then, at the end "an unspecified error occurred (75736e6a726e6c2e 4f6)".

    I`ll do it and I`ll be updating this thread when I have the report.

    I ran SeaTools. These are the results:

    Does it mean my HDD is useless?

  3. Forza Horizon 4 - Crashing on Startup, doesn´t run

    Hi Vijay,

    thanks for response. I tried your steps with a Google DNS and Open DNS - but it doesn´t help.

    The game still crashes in the moment I try to run it.

    I'll be glad for another solutions.
