    Would you post his solution text?

    Thanks

    I feel your pain. You are absolutely correct. We spend ~ 20% of our time using this now broken-down software; and ~ 80% of our time fixing issues created by Microsoft. I would be humiliated if I created a product and when my customers had problems, I basically could not, or would not fix them. A problem here or there that is fixed in a timely manner is understandable; but these issues are ignored and some literally go on for years. And reloading Windows is NOT a fix! It is simple a way out that costs MS nothing; but the users are expected to commit extensive time out of their lives to start all over. Also, this is usually the "fix" for issues with Office 365.

    I feel that Microsoft started this User Forum so they could avoid their responsibly to fix issues in a timely manner.

    1. They create the software,
    2. Theyscrewup the updates,
    3. Then they expect us to fix the problems they created
    4. There are so many folks on here that think they know what they are doing; and most of their supposed solutions either don't work or often make things worse.
