General Discussion / Re: Updating to Windows 11 - My Experience
« on: November 03, 2021, 06:23:51 PM »
I did encounter one glitch. I cannot confirm that it was caused by the upgrade to Windows 11
I subscribe to Office 365. Today, I couldn't connect one computer to my Outlook Exchange account.
A flashing box appeared on the screen when I attempted to launch Outlook. A message appeared at the bottom of the screen that read "Need Password"
but I was given no opportunity to enter it. Curiously, Bluemail worked fine on that computer. Outlook worked fine on all computers but the one in question
I uninstalled Office 365 from the problem computer and then reinstalled it. The problem continued through several restarts. On the third restart, Outlook asked me to authenticate by responding on my phone.
Once that I did that and restarted the computer one more time, Outlook functioned normally.
Once again, I can't tie this bad behavior to the Windows 11 update.
