How long has it been since you released it? I've known it take a good few hours to apply MDM changes in ASM, so assume removing it from the DEP could be the same. Alternatively, if you call Apple and ask to speak to the education team, as long as you can provide proof of purchase they should be able to release this for you at their end. They're usually really helpful.

Unfortunately, this key was already in place... I've also tried adding it to "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Common\Internet" and "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Common\Internet" to no avail.

Thank you - I'll give this a go and report back if it fixes as this thread is one of the top ones on Google search for this issue.

If they have signed into the OS on the other PCs, it'll need doing on those too. I would then advise the user that when they login to an app, they'll get a prompt similar to the below. They should tick "No, sign into this app only" to prevent this happening again.

I had this same issue, and it was because the user had linked their personal account to the OS, not just signed into Office. This needed clearing in Settings > Accounts > Access Work or School, Settings > Accounts > Email & Accounts and Office itself.

Sorry to bump an old thread, but did you ever get anywhere with this issue @masond? Having the same issue here with PowerPoint 2019, testing on a machine on unfiltered connection (no proxy, no https inspection). Tried the uncheck ‘do not save encrypted pages to disk’ suggestion. Tried enabling "User Account Control: Run All Administrators in Admin Approval Mode" via GPO (suggestion on MS forums). Tried enabling protected mode in Internet Settings via GPO (suggested in MS KB). Tried various other security setting changes in internet settings - enabling active content etc as a test. Also enabled active content in PowerPoint settings too. All to no avail.

Hi All, We have a about 100 iPads managed via Mosyle (free) here, and the school are wanting to deploy ibooks purchased on the ASM/VPP platform. Now the iPads are setup as shared devices in Mosyle with no Apple account signed in on them - any idea the best way forward? Mosyle seems to imply it is possible to do this, though not quite as easily as deploying apps: When I deploy a book to a shared cart, the devices don't prompt for anything. The book shows up in the Mosyle Manager app, but when you click install it simply says "Please, check your licenses to continue the installation". The book still shows pending deployment in Mosyle, and when I look at the commands list for this device it shows as follows: Presumably I'm missing something?

It's possible in PowerPoint - simply go to Slide Show > Record Slide Show and you can go through your PowerPoint and add narration/video to it (one, the other or both) from your mic/webcam. edit - It's also worth noting the "present online" option under slideshow if you're for some reason wanting to do the presentation live. However if it was live I'd probably be using Teams personally and sharing a screen running the presentation.

We had the same issue for SATs Companion via censornet/ussgateway and had to unblock the individual URLs which they supplied to us (fortunately!) URLs looked like this: https://player.vimeo.com/video/145127861 I have the full list if anyone would find it useful. Won't insert them here as not to hijack the thread but thought the above info might be useful.

Sounds like it maybe trying to sign you in with a microsoft account rather than a "work or school" account (if you've had your account a while, it's possible the email address is linked to two accounts as some services you couldn't use a "work or school" account on). Sounds basic but have you tried clearing the app's data / reinstalling it to start again?

We suffered the same problem - the script I linked above on a scheduled task running every 5 minutes resolved the issue for us until we could get to the root of the problem. +1 for Foxit too, but I would recommend installing the ADMX files if you go down this route.

We've had this issue with various different print drivers, from different manufactures, but mainly when we've had secure print / account track enabled on photocopiers* - Deploying the new Chromium based edge seems to fix this issue. Alternatively we have previously deployed default apps for PDF via GPO to be Adobe Reader and also had a script that checks for errors in the spooler and clears it if it finds anything, running as a scheduled task every 5 mins. #To run as a schedule task setup the following - powershell.exe -ExecutionPolicy Bypass C:\Clear_errored_spooler.ps1 Clear-Host $DateTime = Get-Date -Format G Start-Transcript -Path C:\QueueLog.txt -Append Write-Host "Checking printers and queues for errors" #Get any documents from all printers that in an error state $Errors = @(Get-Printer | Get-PrintJob | Where {$_.JobStatus -NotMatch "Printing|Printed"}).Count If ($Errors -gt 0) { Write-Warning "$DateTime - $Errors job(s) found in error in the print spooler, clearing!" Stop-Service spooler Remove-Item -Path "C:\Windows\System32\spool\PRINTERS\*.SPL" -Force Remove-Item -Path "C:\Windows\System32\spool\PRINTERS\*.SHD" -Force Start-Service spooler Write-Host "Printer queues have been cleared" } else { Write-Host "$DateTime - No job(s) found in error in the print spooler, exiting!" } Stop-Transcript Exit * I found on some old Konica's that using AD Authentication instead of the built-in copier authentication worked better - may have been a coincidence though.

Would something like ClassDojo not be easier? Essentially Twitter for the school, also allows for communications with parents as far as I'm aware, and works as a rewards system. There's also Edmodo, which used to be free and was almost a private social network. I've also used Elgg in the past for something similar, however not sure how it'd work as an app.

I have the P30 Pro and this is installed by default - can't remove without root. Just checked and all the permissions are disabled for the app on my phone except calls and sms (believe I had to enable these to use the default caller/text app). Not been forced to enable any of the other permissions for other default apps however... Concerning how many apps request such permissions in the Play Store without any need whatsoever.

Not exactly a fix, however personally I continue to use the snipping tool which I pulled off of a machine before it was removed. I'm not a fan of the modern apps and tend to avoid where possible.

Ah OK, thanks. That makes sense now... Thanks guys - this gives me a couple of things to look at

Thanks for the suggestions everyone - really appreciate it. I tried this but couldn't get it working, think I may have missed something, so will revisit. Basically I'm launching a second form from a form and it's just the second form I'm wanting to close rather than the whole application (however this has given me the idea to put a keyboard shortcut into the initial form to kill the whole application for staff - so thanks!) Not quite grasping this, sorry... As I say, I'm no expert

Hi All, Maybe trying to do something that's not quite possible in VB, however hopefully someone here can confirm/offer a way of achieving it. I've created a basic Windows form in Visual Studio 2013 (Visual Basic), that shows full screen and always on top. I'm wanting to prevent it from being closed without using a key command (not entirely fussed what key command, but was thinking Ctrl+Shift+C or something similar). I've prevented the form from closing with the following code: Private Sub Image_FormClosing(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.FormClosingEventArgs) Handles MyBase.FormClosing If (e.CloseReason = CloseReason.UserClosing) Then e.Cancel = True MessageBox.Show("To close this window, please speak to your teacher.", "Panic!", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Error) End If End Sub Then tried to close the form using a key command with: Private Sub Image_KeyDown(sender As Object, e As KeyEventArgs) Handles Me.KeyDown If e.KeyCode = Keys.Escape Then Me.Close() End Sub Unfortunately, the first bit of code prevents the second from working. Does anyone know of a better way of achieving this / integrating the two pieces of code? I'm not exactly an expert at this and my Googling expertise has let me down on this one too. Any suggestions would be appreciated (preferably suggestions that don't include using C# or other instead - I wish I'd started with something else but this is the final thing I need to implement ). Cheers!

Hi All, I've been asked about this recently and it seems every option we have has been shutdown so far. So what do you use / how do you use ebooks in school no Android? - Pitfalls so far I've been asked about using ebooks on some Android devices in school. Initially we were going to use Amazon Kindle App as some teachers already use the online reader for this. I spoke with Amazon who said their were no device limits and that we were covered in terms of licenses to have it on all our devices in school with one purchase of the ebook (seemed too good to be true for the cost benefits but thought great!). We have run for a couple of weeks like this then yesterday had the app throw up an error saying the book is in use on too many devices after launching the book on more than 10 simultaneously. Having spoken to Amazon again they have said there's been a change and it's now up to the publisher to set limits, most going with 6 device limit per book. Decided to try Google Play Books instead but could find no information on how to buy multiple licenses / deploy books using G Suite so spoke to their support. They say the functionality for managing licensed apps / books was depreciated 3 months ago, meaning you can no longer bulk buy Google Play content and push to devices - their suggest workaround been manually purchasing and installing the content on each tablet. A teacher has suggested having multiple amazon accounts and using each account across 5 devices however this is going to be a pain to manage and most likely against licensing terms. Can anyone suggest how we can go about this / how do you do this? Ideally the school want to use Android rather than iPads (else iBooks with a VPP would be the obvious answer).

Same as this - seen this a lot on the £4 eBay special memory sticks... If it's a USB drive I'd pull off of it what you can save and bin the drive.

Thanks for that - I think we have all these and more without any success unfortunately... Don't want to hijack your thread however.

Out of interest are the devices running Android 8 or above? and are you using a proxy? If so, we're having the same issue in regards to app deployment/using play store, but our Android 7 and below devices work fine. May help / may not: Our filtering provider suggest that Google are now checking the SSL signature at server end, meaning although the SSL certificate for our proxy is trusted on the Android device their servers are rejecting the connection. We've run wireshark and bypassed all URLs from our proxy and which should in theory fix the above, however it still doesn't work... We're currently going back and forth between Google Support and support from our filtering provider but not getting anywhere fast. If anything comes up I'll let you know if it's of any use.

As CTSTONE has said above, have you checked for any recently installed Windows updates that could be a culprit. Not had this particular issue myself however it's not beyond the realms of possibility with microsoft! Have you also tried changing the value of "PowerDownAfterShutdown" in "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon" from 0 to 1? This was a fix in XP for a similar issue that we used to get quite a lot and I know I've used it once or twice in Win7 too. Never had to in 10, but could be worth trying?

Yes, in the end I found: Oddly only ever had it on the 15 out of probably hundreds installed across other schools.

No problem, thanks for sharing the script too. Just found these which may help too: Show OS (Win10Edu/Wind10Pro etc) - (Get-WmiObject -class Win32_OperatingSystem).Caption Show OS Version (1803/1809 etc) - (Get-ItemProperty "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion").ReleaseId
