Microsoft: Some Teams users can’t join meetings after Edge update

Microsoft has acknowledged an issue with its Edge browser affecting users trying to join Teams meetings, documented under incident report TM1288497. A restart of the Teams client may serve as a temporary workaround. Microsoft is analyzing diagnostic data and monitoring service changes to address the problem. This issue follows a previous bug where an Edge update disrupted the right-click paste functionality in Teams, with a fix scheduled for the next platform update. Additionally, Microsoft reverted a service update that prevented some users from launching the Teams desktop client. Ongoing challenges related to Universal Print sharing have also emerged due to changes in the Microsoft Graph API code.

Microsoft Edge will stop begging you for attention (in Europe, at least)

Microsoft is adjusting its approach in the European Economic Area (EEA) to comply with the Digital Markets Act by implementing several updates. Microsoft Edge will no longer solicit users to set it as their default browser, although reminders may still appear temporarily. This change began with an Edge update on May 29. Additionally, users who uninstall Microsoft Edge will not receive prompts to reinstall it, except for progressive web apps using Edge technology. Microsoft is also introducing an option to uninstall the Microsoft Store, with updates for previously downloaded applications continuing. This feature is expected to be available later this year for Windows 10 and 11 users.

Microsoft accidentally added a Copilot entry to all editions of Windows, including Windows Server and consumer clients, with the release of Microsoft Edge 123.0.2420.65. Microsoft acknowledged the mistake and removed the Copilot entry from Windows Server with Edge 124.0.2478.67 in April, and from all versions and editions of Windows with Edge 126.0.2592.56 in June. The Copilot entry did not run any code in the background and did not extract data from users' PCs.
