Getting support for something like this at Microsoft is impossible. They don't care at all. They will reply with standard responses from some supporter without any access or knowledge of the inner working of the system.

I do understand the ideer of letting a large IT organisation handle you email. Working email is a high priority, if not Microsoft or Google can make it work, who can?

But as soon as there are any problems a little out of the ordinary, its clear that choosing something like Microsoft or Google is a really bad idear. It's not possible communicate with anyone who know anything.

As more and more are moving their solutions to Microsoft and Google, they will be in a position to strangle any smaller providers.

They are a thread to the free internet!

"Have you tried SCF /scannow?"
"make sure all windows updates are installed"

"Update your drivers"

"Have you tried a clean install?"

"Idea", by the way, since you randomly misspelled it twice, I supply the correction in case you're a very proficient English learner.
So uh. Well, I'm from the american south and I've heard plenty of people say idear instead of idea. Mostly older people or people with very strong rural accents/dialect.

Apparently also a british thing I just found out: https://english.stackexchange.com/a/32630

That it is pronounced differently in some regions of the same country does not change its spelling within that country's borders.
There exist spelling variations for various words within a country's borders. Why would this one be any different?

Yeah, I mean if we all understood regardless, it can’t matter that much in an informal setting.
If you are O365 customer, open support ticket and I am pretty sure they have 48H SLA to respond or reach out to you.
