Access begins rollout of Big Forms for Modern Monitors feature
We're excited to announce that support for large-sized forms is now available in Beta for Microsoft Access. This long-requested feature removes the longstanding 22-inch form size limitation and lays the foundation for a more modern, scalable, and accessible form experience. It's one of the most highly requested enhancements from the Access community and a top-voted request on the Access feedback forum. This feature is in Beta now and expected to be in the Current Channel preview by July 21st, 2026. Why we're making this change When Access was originally designed, form dimensions were constrained by underlying technology that effectively limited forms to approximately 22 inches in width or height. As monitor resolutions increased and ultrawide displays became common, that limitation became increasingly restrictive. Developers were forced to design for the lowest common denominator screen size, even when their users had significantly more screen real estate available. The result? Complex business applications often required excessive scrolling, crowded interfaces, or compromises in design. With this Beta release, Access developers can now create forms that take full advantage of today's larger monitors and higher resolutions. What's changing The 22-inch limit is gone. The primary enhancement is simple but powerful: Forms can now exceed the previous 22-inch size limitation. Controls can be placed beyond the historical boundary. Form sections can be designed at much larger dimensions. Developers can create richer and more detailed business applications. For customers building dashboards, operational workspaces, inventory systems, CRM solutions, or other complex applications, this means more content can be displayed simultaneously without forcing users to navigate between multiple forms. Designed for modern workspaces Large monitors have transformed the way people work. Many customers now use: Dual-monitor setups Ultrawide displays High-resolution 4K monitors Vertical monitors for specialized workflows This feature allows Access applications to better leverage those environments. Developers are no longer forced to design around constraints that originated more than 20 years ago. As a result, users can: View more information at once Reduce unnecessary scrolling Create more sophisticated layouts Improve efficiency during data entry and review tasks Accessibility benefits Although the primary audience for this feature is Access developers and users working with larger displays, removing the size limitation also delivers important accessibility benefits. Larger form designs allow more flexibility in presenting information, increasing spacing between controls, displaying larger text, and reducing visual clutter. These improvements can make applications easier to use for customers with low vision and others who benefit from magnified content. We hope you enjoy this improvement and as always, look forward to your comments. (Thank you to MVP Colin Reddington for the thumbnail image.)
Clipboard History does not recognize the Delete key on Windows 11
I recently moved to Windows 11 (installed from scratch), and as soon as it was ready I activated the Clipboard History with the Win+V shortcut, since I really liked this feature on Windows 10. But after a short while I noticed the Windows 11 Clipboard History does not recognize the Delete key anymore. On Windows 10 this works: - Invoke the Clipboard History with Win+V - Scroll to the entry you want to delete with your arrow keys - Hit Delete on your keyboard and that entry will be removed from the history. Clipboard History remains open so you can repeat this for as many entries as you like. On Windows 11: - Invoke the Clipboard History with Win+V - Scroll to the entry you want to delete with your arrow keys - Hit Delete on your keyboard, then the Clipboard History closes with no error or message. If you invoke the Clipboard History again, the entry is still there. So apparently there are only two options on Windows 11 now, use the "Clear all" button to remove all the entries from the history. Or click the 3 dots next to each entry you want to remove and then click Delete, which is... annoying if compared to Windows 10. Is there a way to make the Delete key work again?
The Windows App isn't viable at present
The Windows Copilot app is not viable for real work because it only stores three conversations. Edge Copilot and the mobile app preserve full history and sync across devices, which makes them usable for long‑term projects. The Windows app should match that behavior or be retired. The inconsistency breaks workflows for users doing multi‑month creative and strategic work.
Looking for a way to make adult content extremely difficult to access on my Windows 11 laptop
Hello everyone, I know this is an unusual question, but I sincerely hope someone here can help me. I am an 18-year-old student who has been struggling with an addiction to adult content for the past four years. I have been trying very hard to overcome it, and at one point I was able to stay away from it for almost a year. Unfortunately, since last October, I have relapsed and have been trying everything I can think of to prevent myself from accessing this content again. So far, I have tried: Changing my IPv4 and IPv6 DNS settings to family-safe filtering services. Editing the hosts file to block websites. Using various website blockers and parental control tools. Trying different software restrictions and browser-based solutions. The problem is that I am the one who configured all of these. When I experience a strong urge, I already know exactly how to disable or bypass every restriction because I set it up myself. Unfortunately, I cannot ask my parents or anyone close to me for help. Discussions about topics like this are extremely difficult in my family, and I don't feel comfortable involving them. Because of that, I'm trying to find a technical solution that I cannot easily undo on my own. I'm not asking how to bypass restrictions—I want the exact opposite. I am looking for the strongest possible Windows-based solution that makes it as difficult as possible for me to access adult content, even if I know a lot about computers. Are there any Windows features, account configurations, Group Policy settings, security options, or other methods that could make these restrictions significantly harder to remove? Even if they are not completely impossible to bypass, I would like something that requires so much effort that it gives me time to stop and reconsider. Any advice or suggestions would mean a great deal to me. This has become a serious personal struggle, and I am doing everything I can to overcome it because I genuinely believe my future depends on breaking this habit. Thank you very much for taking the time to read my post.
Can Copilot Studio agent connected via WhatApp channel escalate to representative?
We have built a Copilot Studio agent that uses adaptive cards and connected it through a WhatApp channel. We want this agent to be able to escalate a customer to a representative should they need assistance while communicating with the bot, however, with the current channel set up we use it is not possible. We had managed to connect the agent via Dynamics and WhatsApp simultaneously, but we then had double messages coming through on the WhatsApp chat, now we are only connected through the WhatApp channel. Is there a way for us to also connect through Dynamics in order for customers to be able to escalate to a customer representative? Or is there a way for us to allow for escalations via the WhatsApp connection?The Windows 11 25H2 update failed, and the computer automatically restarts when I shut it down.
I encountered error code 0x80070002 while updating to Windows 11 25H2. I’ve tried various commands and fixes I found online, but none of them worked. Now, my computer automatically restarts every time I shut it down, and I can only shut it down by holding down the Shift key. How can I fix this?
Sensitivity label "Certificate Error"
When applying Sensitivity Labels in Microsoft Office applications, we receive the following certificate warning: "The certificate issuer for this site is untrusted or unknown. Do you wish to proceed?" We have already excluded the required Microsoft Azure URLs from the firewall and disabled SSL/TLS inspection, but the issue still persists. Observations: 1.On the same domain-joined computer, when signed in with a local user account, Sensitivity Labels work correctly without any errors. 2.When signed in with a domain user account, the certificate warning appears while applying or accessing Sensitivity Labels. Could you please help us identify the root cause and provide a solution? Your assistance in troubleshooting this issue would be greatly appreciated.
