Recently, opening Outlook 2019 is triggering a Edge browser announcing "Your Organization is moving to Microsoft Edge"...with about 6 or so following "Nexts"...I cannot seem to surpress it (we use Google Chrome as default). That aside, for a few, a blank white Edge window opens instead, which I presume is the same thing but failing to display the content...I cannot get it to stop, even by launching the URL from a working machine and running through the "wizard"...seems like blowing away Edge or Windows profile might be the only solution (or something else common to them...they are all similar machines, same MDT image load)...they are virtual machines though (come to think of it as I type this). Our others are physical PCs.
I ran into the same issue. When Outlook 2019 launches it opens a white Edge window that is unresponsive. The issue is triggered only when a user signs into Edge to setup account sync. If there is no user sign in then issue does not occur.
After many hours of troubleshooting the issue was resolved by setting the following registry entry:
Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Edge\IEToEdge
RedirectMode 2

When I enter this "ms-cxh-full: //0.0.135.7" into my browser and open the program, a black screen appears.
Is there any other way to close this black screen other than restarting my PC and what kind of program is it and what can it do?
the ms-cxh-full:// link is the User OOBE Broker
It's a broken System link that shouldn't be accessible by users, but Microsoft messed up and left it in. If you don't recognize the protocol don't open it.
I tested the URL that you posted:
ms-cxh-full: //0.0.135.7
It started a black screen (as you said), but the screen disappeared after 2 seconds and the computer continued to function normally.
OS: Windows 10.0.19043.1202
Web browser: Microsoft Edge 93.0.961.38
Update your OS and change your web browser, and you'll have no problem.
At one point I was able to see our Outlook add-in app in the target options in f12 devtools for troubleshooting, but sometime last month it stopped showing up there. My colleagues are stumped, and I can't find much online in the way of troubleshooting.
I tried checking my Windows version and Outlook version against others who can see it in their devtools, but we're all on Windows 10 enterprise v1803, Outlook v1910, and IE 11. I've tried many things over the month since this happened like rebooting my PC, making sure I have the latest updates from IT, refreshing the options, running some commands I found online for targeting the right browser for devtools, etc. No change.
Another peculiar thing is that I'm seeing some completely different things in the Add-in than they are, like button alignments and div widths and such. I had our dev environment looking perfect on my end, but when a few people on the team screenshared with me there were a number of styling issues I can't reproduce. Even weirder, nobody experiences these issues in O365, it's just the desktop Outlook app on our Windows machines.
Any ideas on how to troubleshoot this would be very greatly appreciated.
Steps I take to produce the issue:
Click on manifest icon for our app in Outlook ribbon. App loads in the sidebar.
Open F12 devtools (both 32 and 64 bit for good measure from the System32 and SysWOW64 directories).
App is not in the target list. Click refresh, still not in the list.
FYI, any IE 11 windows I have open show up there, just not my app.
Starting in Windows 10 version 1903, the latest version of Office will use Edge WebView instead of IE to render add-ins. Edge WebView requires a different debugger (not the F12 debugger) called Microsoft Edge DevTools. You can find out more about it here.
I've got a VB.Net Windows Form application containing several controls (labels, groupboxes, comboboxes, etc.) This application is deployed to several PCs running Windows 10. There are also Win10 tablets connecting to these PCs via Remote Desktop. The issue is that the text on the form sometimes gets resized and overlaps onto other controls when viewed on the tablet. In other words, the text becomes too big.
I thought this was only happening when using Remote Desktop but today I saw it happen on a PC too. This is the first time this has happened. One difference is that the PC was re-imaged in the field instead of being brought back to the office first. The monitors used between the two locations are different, and I'm suspecting this has something to do with it. I know there are DPI and resolution factors to consider but don't fully understand how to rectify them in this case, or if they're even applicable.
Here's how it looks as designed and running on my dev PC:
And here's how it looks when running on the production PC (sorry for the grainy image):
Of note is that some text doesn't appear to get oversized, for example the "Currently: 6 ft/min". All fonts are Microsoft Sans Serif.
Suggestions?
The answer provided here worked for me by changing the compatibility settings for the executable. Another method is provided here but I haven't had a chance to test it yet.
Just installed Visual Studio 2013 Update 4 and now I see this annoying red notification telling me I need a developer licence for Windows Store and Windows Phone - which I do not need.
Once I click dismiss all, it comes back next time I load Visual Studio, the same notification I dismissed. In other words how many times will it tell me I need a licence? So my point is how do I stop displaying the red notification.
[edit]
Actually it's prompting me every so often not just every visual studio restart... as I think someone has mentioned in one of the comments.
LATEST UPDATE (Nov-21):
We have now released a patch for this bug. You can download it from here.
I'm leaving the rest of this answer as is but there should no longer be a need for any workaround once the patch linked to above has been applied.
ORIGINAL ANSWER:
I'll start by apologizing and confirming we've got at least one bug here (if not more). There are several of us actively investigating this on our side. We don't yet know the full extent of the problem though so it would be great to get some additional information from anyone who's currently running into this.
The intent was to show a notification to users working on Windows or Windows Phone Store apps. It was not something that should be coming up for users not doing Store development.
The most promising workaround so far is to:
Close the currently open solution (if there is one loaded)
Dismiss the notification
Close Visual Studio
You shouldn't see the notification again in subsequent VS sessions until you do something that causes the Store related functionality to load again (e.g., create or load a Store app project).
If this doesn't make it go away, please respond and we'll try to work with you to get more details on what could be causing it to continue to appear for you.
UPDATE:
If the above workaround doesn't work for you (e.g., ReSharper users), I've got another one that should at least provide a respite from the notifications for about a month at a time:
Make sure the critical notification is currently active (i.e., red notification).
Close all open instances of Visual Studio.
Open up File Explorer and navigate to the %LocalAppData%\Microsoft\VisualStudio\12.0\Notifications directory.
Open the Notifications_Active.xml file found in in a text editor.
Find the notification element referring to the developer license.
Change the value of the Severity element to 0 instead of 2.
This should make the red alert no longer kick in for this notification as long as you leave the notification active (i.e., do not dismiss it).
After I've shut down a VS 2008 web project, well, a lot of times, I see many instances of the WebDev icon in the "tooltray" / system notification area:
These are no longer active instances; they were shut down by VS.
When I mouse over any of these, Windows Vista "conveniently" collapses the tray for me. This makes life miserable if the app I want is in between any of them (e.g., Outlook in the image above), and even worse if I actually want to right click on the "active" WebDev.
Any idea how I can get VS, WebDev, or Windows to fix this behavior?
There is a utility on CodeProject that does this: TrayIconBuster
http://www.codeproject.com/KB/system/TrayIconBuster.aspx
It runs every x minutes and removes all phantom icons...
Not the perfect solution, because I think this should be built in to Windows...
