Windows 10: Why is the MFA for Microsoft so broken?

I cannot access my Visual Studio account because I am required to have the Microsoft Authenticator app set up. In order to access the security section of my account to set up the Authenticator app I need to first have set up the authenticator app. There is no way to authorize my account by email or phone which would be a much more user accessible way to use the MFA system. I am effectively locked out of my account that I need for my job. This is a very poorly designed system and I am very frustrated.

I lost my MFA device, how can I disable the MFA in my Microsoft account without the MFA device?

Intune MFA

Hello. We will soon switch over to Intune for our Mobil Device Management (we currently use Centrify). We also use ServiceNow(SN) for incident management. We would like require MFA when users Log into SN from outside of
our network (ie on their home computer). ServiceNow's MFA is not user friendly. Do you know if we can use Intune for this? Currently, SN uses our on-prem Active Directory for Authentication. I heard Azure AD could possibly be used for SN MFA, but I am not
sure if that is possible.

Any help/suggestions that you have would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

 

Realtek audio broken with update, Also microsoft chat is broken

My audio is ruined with this last update, i've done every step and recommended action listed by microsoft and every suggestion on the first 20 pages of google search. Realtek is no longer showing up anywhere, like microsoft disabled it, microsoft chat is
also broken, requesting to speak with a human brings you to a couple options, all of which are broken and clicking on "chat" closes the window and nothing happens, this is absolutely disgusting, i've spent the last 4 hours trying to get my tablet, my audio,
and microsoft support to work.
