    When trying to close MS Project by hitting red X nothing happens. Users have to go File >...


    When users are clicking the top X to close the program nothing is happening. As if it doesn't have a function.I've advised people to go to File > Exit for now. There are not windows or background tasks that would prevent the behaviour. It is the only Microsoft application that exhibits behaviour too.Can anyone advise ?

    :)

  2. Edge Search Does Not Permit Change of Region


    I got these suggestions from the Microsoft Community forum.No. 1 worked for me:

    Thank you for posting the query on Microsoft Community. I am glad to assist you on this.
    We have reproduce the issue here and we are able to access non-regional search for google using Microsoft Edge.
    I would suggest you to try the below steps and check if it helps.
    Step 1:
    Clear browsing data option of Microsoft Edge and check if you face the issue. To do so perform the steps below.

    1. Click on the More actions icon next to the feedback icon present on top right corner of the Project Spartan homepage.
    2. Select Settings and click on Choose what to clear.
    3. Check the boxes Browsing history, Cookies and saved website data and Cached data and files and click on Clear.
    Step 2:
    I suggest you to create a new user account and check if the issue occurs.

    1. Go to Settings.
    2. Choose Accounts and then select Family and other users.
    3. Select add someone else on this PC.
    4. Enter a user name and hit next.
    5. Click on Finish.
    6. Sign out from the current Account and Log into the new account.
    Step 3:
    It could also happen because of network issue. I suggest you to try with different network connection and check if it helps.

  3. Red x's in File Explorer

    Hello JonathanLimebrook,

    Thank you for writing us here in Microsoft Community.

    Based on the information you provided. I just want to ask a few questions as to narrow down the problem. It is important to answer this to provide more detailed troubleshooting steps.

    1. May I know if you already done copying all your files in the OneDrive?

    2. Can you post a screenshot about your issue?

    3. May I know what troubleshooting steps you have done with your issue? Have you deleted the files that are done transferring?

    Here are some possible troubleshooting steps that may help resolve your solution:

    1. Right-click on the folder with the red x and select "Properties."

    2. Click on the "General" tab and then click on the "Advanced" button.

    3. Uncheck the box that says "Allow files in this folder to have contents indexed in addition to file properties."

    4. Click "OK" to close the Advanced Attributes window.

    5. Click "Apply" and then "OK" to close the Properties window.



    This should remove the red x from the folder and allow it to be backed up to OneDrive. If the issue persists, you can try resetting OneDrive by following these steps:



    1. Right-click on the OneDrive icon in the system tray and select "Settings."

    2. Click on the "Account" tab and then click on "Unlink this PC."

    3. Follow the prompts to unlink your PC from OneDrive.

    4. Restart your PC.

    5. Sign in to OneDrive again and set up your sync preferences.

    Also try this link: Reset OneDrive - Microsoft Support

    Let me know if the issue persists, and we can have other options.



    I hope you find this information helpful.

    Close all the windows, reboot the computer and check the status

    Type net localgroup Administrators /add Local Service and press Enter
    Click OK when it says The Command Completed Successfully
