OneDrive is processing changes - hundreds of thousands of changes - endlessly. This followed a Windows update install on one device, which appears to have contaminated other linked devices to my 365 Account. In the meantime, access to OneDrive cloud documents is denied. (Access to docs on the hard drive is still available.)

Anyone experiencing this problem? How do I fix this?:From my iMac I have consistently received an alert via the office update module which informs that "it has detected that there is a problem with the auto update feature for Office," this has been going on for more than three weeks now. I have gone to the MS website which only tells instructs me to download the updater again, which I have done a couple times, but this does not help. As a result I continue to get the same alert regardless that I have updated applications within the suite via the AppStore.

Hello, I have checked other answers for this problem and I have tried different solutions but it's not working for me. I work from a Macbook Air, I have 32 Word documents that I would like to merge. I have tried clicking on "Object" and then "Text From File" and I have tried selecting all the Word documents, but I can only select one document at a time. I am a teacher with multiple groups and I need to put all these documents together so I can export them into pdf and send them easily to the printer. Thanks!

I am developing a method to track uniform inventory and the items that have been issued to players. All players on a single team must have a unique jersey number.

HelloI am working on the OneDrive web browser. I have a client that has shared their OneDrive folder with me, so it appears in my "shared" folder. I can see all their files.

I'm trying to develop an Index formula for worker hours to replace the PivotTable in the first worksheet (1st snip) using the XYZ Data (2nd Snip). The workers have multiple rows for each pay period end date based on salary and benefit options. The Index formula I tried is shown in the 1st Snip The XYZ Data sheet column headers are: "Pay Period End Date" (Column A), "Worker" (Column D), "Worker Hours" (Column S).

Hi,I have a school account that I need the Microsoft Authenticator App to sign into. The problem is I got a new phone and a new phone number so I can no longer sign into my Authenticator App or my school account without changing the phone number in the settings of my Microsoft account but I cannot get to the settings without signing in using the Microsoft Authenticator App. Is there a way around this or can you change the phone number on your end or something I really need to get into this account.

I'm using PowerShell Get-MGUserPhotoContent to pull down photos from our O365 user profiles. Frequently, it returns a zero length file despite there being a valid photo in the user's profile. After successful call, I check the length of the file. If it has a length of zero, If I sleep a little while and try again. It usually eventually works, but it takes many attempts.Any help would be appreciated.
