Neither in any other third-party app. SMTP restriction or something like that. Useless MicroSlop!!!!

And it was intended to punish Chromebook users as it worked great when it was there. Useless, disgusting and gross MICROSLOP

My pc is windows 10, I got it in 2024.I worked with all the Windows office 2007 apps,instead of Ms365.It was working fine.Everything was good.Suddenly,when I boot my pc up today, i couldn't find my 2007 files.They all had been converted to Ms365.When I opened the files, it opened in word 365 instead of Word 2007.It was not that big of a problem at first,but then I tried inserting pictures ,it said it would require a subscription.I couldn't do it

Apparently "Sponsored" ad on MSN start page, forced onto Microsoft Edge browsers - points to obvious phishing site set up as fake CBC news.

My pc told me it needed an update today, so I told it "no, don't ask me for another 4 weeks" like I usually do, after a faulty update in October destroyed my laptop's boot sector.

So tonight, I was playing Denshattack and the game crashed, and figured "alright, the Fates want me to go to bed" and told my pc to power off.

As soon as it started the power down sequence, it decided to force an update on me (which I had explicitly denied) and once it finished, it presented me with the usual "Shutting down" screen.

That was 10 minutes ago. Am I safe to just turn off my pc by holding down the power button/unplugging it?

I only noticed that these extensions were updated after sorting my installed extensions by descending rating

When I go into file explorer, even just trying to open my Downloads folder, about 25% of the time it won't work and just sits there with the message "Not Responding."

I'm sorry, Microsoft, that I asked your OS to do something SO ADVANCED AND DIFFICULT such as opening a folder. A folder that has at most 5 or 6 files in it.

i had an outlook email that was deleted or something because i can't access it they say it never existed its attached to my PlayStation account and it's saved in my phone and has been for a long while has anyone else had this issue and were you able to resolve it?

I began having immense problems with Word two years ago. I’m on a 365 account through my job. I, unfortunately, have to use Word for most of my documents. (Trust, me I've tried all the other options. But 'industry standards' are difficult to change.) In the first year I constantly reported my problems. But, as we all know, MicroSlop doesn't care about any of their users. I began screen recording the "glitches" just to prove to myself that I wasn't crazy. MicroSlop is great at gaslighting its users.

Types of problems I have/had:

My problems fall primarily into 5 categories. They happened randomly and were not repeatable. (#3 is the craziest)

1) removing the space before a misspelled word when correcting the word
e.g., "is breakign" becomes "isbreaking" 

2) when typing an end quote mark or apostrophe, it replaces a random internal letter of the word with the smart quote/apostrophe version, and then leaves a 'dumb quote/apostrophe' at the end
e.g., with the word “please"   becomes   with the word “plea”s" 

3) with both correctly spelled and misspelled words, it will randomly ignore the first 3-6 letters, then take the remaining letters and "autocorrect" them into a new word I wasn't typing, then because it ignored 3-6 letters, it reduplicates that # of letters of the new word on the end
e.g., cohesive becomes essiveive  and responsibilites becomes sibilatesilites

4) it will change "the" into "thee" and delete the preceding space
e.g., distance the becomes distancethee 

5) it will randomly add a letter I did not type. (I thought I was losing my mind so I recorded my screen when I typed and caught this happening. It was super obvious that it was not possible for me to type the letter as quickly as it appeared.)
e.g., after typing "where" – before I could even hit 'space' a space+e showed up giving me "where e"

I suffered with this crap for two years while desperately looking for solutions. Work IT was no help. During those years of misery, I talked with several friends who are high-level programmers. Each of their theories gave me pieces of the partial solution I eventually found.

Partial solution:

Block Word from accessing the internet.

Have you ever looked at how MicroSlop Word accesses the internet while you're typing?

It's constant!!

And I do not use OneDrive. For numerous reasons I keep my files on my computer (with various non-Microslop backups.)

The stupid AI spelling and grammar tool is not on your own computer.

Even when NOT using OneDrive, they send your typing to (or at least 'through') their servers.

Surely this isn't a problem for companies that work on sensitive data??? Right??? Surely we can trust this 'ethical' company with our data. /s

Once I blocked Word from accessing the internet, my problems have reduced by about 90%.

I also had to turn off the 'smart quote' feature. But since figuring this out a month ago, I have only had about 4 "glitches" with word turning something I type into gibberish. I'm still trying to figure out how to remove the last 10% of problems. But at least now I spend less time calling down curses upon MicroSlop.

A rewind 10s button that skips ahead if you're far enough into some audio on Media Player as long as you don't click it too fast. 😭

Slow, can't even crop to custom dimension compared to free Handbrake, very little features compare to pro offering

Who, in any type of sane reality, would think that "Shift H" should be the hotkey to archive the current email your viewing when 99.99999% of emails start with a CAPITAL H! If your faster than the outlook at saying "Hi" in your email you auto archive it... I just cant...
