Microsoft will end full support for Windows 10 on October 14, 2025, including updates for Microsoft 365 apps. While urging users to upgrade to Windows 11, Microsoft revealed that security updates for Windows 10 will continue until October 2028 to ease the transition.

I'm officially calling working on shared documents in desktop versions of microsoft365 apps BROKEN.

I keep running into the problem where opening a shared doc in a desktop app overwrites the shared doc with whatever local version of the doc I have.

Thankfully I can roll back to the last version, but the risk of inadvertently wiping out someone's changes is still there.

I just opened an MS Word document that I had been working on for the past hour (saved locally, using desktop app) to see that none of my changes where there!

Then, 15 seconds later, as the feeling of panic was starting rise, the document flickered and my changes all appeared.

What. The. Actual. Hell.

I received an email from "Microsoft 365 security" notifying me that an email message was being held in quarantine. It was not, in fact, spam, so I clicked the "Release" button in the notification email. Below is the message I got as a result. There's a problem here. Can you see what it is?

Microsoft Copilot for SharePoint just made recon a whole lot easier. 🚨
 
One of our Red Teamers came across a massive SharePoint, too much to explore manually. So, with some careful prompting, they asked Copilot to do the heavy lifting...
 
It opened the door to credentials, internal docs, and more.
 
All without triggering access logs or alerts.
 
Copilot is being rolled out across Microsoft 365 environments, often without teams realising Default Agents are already active.
 
That’s a problem.
 
Jack, our Head of Red Team, breaks it down in our latest blog post, including what you can do to prevent it from happening in your environment.

Microsoft Extends DLP Policy for Copilot to Office Apps

First introduced in March 2025 to block access to sensitive documents by BizChat, Microsoft has extended the DLP policy for Copilot to cover the web and desktop versions of the Office apps (Word, Excel, and PowerPoint). The implementation works but could confuse users. It might be better if Microsoft simply removes all trace of Copilot when working with files subject to the DLP policy.

DLP policy for Copilot

Yeah, thanks, Microsoft. I really don't need your help to, "protect what’s important and prioritize what matters most."

What actually matters most to me right now is avoiding price increases supposedly justified by functionality I never asked for, and don't even want.

#Microsoft #vendorLockIn rant…
My new job is a #Microsoft365 shop, so we use #OneNote.
I am on a MacBook.
I have a notebook with many pages.
I needed to generate a list of the page titles. There is no way to do that within the desktop or web app.
There's no way to export the notebook in another format (there supposedly is on PC, but not macOS).
I had to use the developer console in the web app to grab the page list HTML and edit it in a text editor to extract the page titles.
Ridiculous.

Bei #Hosteurope herrscht offenbar ein ziemlich hoher Lackkonsum. Ich höre gerade von einem Kunden, dass die ernsthaft und trotz der Entwicklungen in den USA Email zwangsweise auf #Microsoft365 umstellen. Dem entgehen kann man als Kunde nur durch Löschen der Emailkonten, also de facto Beenden der Geschäftsbeziehung (was der Kunde [KMU] auch tun wird). #Hetzner beispielsweise bietet schon Migrationspfade dafür, aber sind halt "ein paar" Adressen.

Un-fucking-fassbar.
