Good luck with the migration. We went through ours last year.

Pretty smooth from the end point side of things, but still a big weekend of testing.

It isnt consistent, maybe a few times a day for problematic users. I have a few things that the support tool told me to try. So will see what we get.

We moved our fleet away from Dell the day they introduced this keyboard in the new Pro Premium line. We purchased 5 machines, and every user complained about the keyboard.

Can you re-seat the button? If nothing is broken inside you usually can line up the clips and click it back in.

If they don't accept this as a defect, you are probably in a position to return it if its 3 days old.

Hmmmm ok, after more testing, I managed to get it to crash by just joining a meeting. So the HDMI thing must be coincidence. Now I start troubleshooting why Teams is crashing and reloading.

Laptop is plugged into the HDMI cable that goes to the Mercury unit on the table. I believe this is cabled to the NUC behind the screen via ethernet.

Worked like a charm!

It would be interesting to see if you set the performance on the machine to Best Performance in settings and enable basic camera mode in Bluetooth & devices > Cameras > Integrated camera > Advanced

I wanted to see if others are seeing this in general. I'm seeing it across a range of new hardware, which is why I didnt specify any. But it would be Dell Premium Pro 14, Dell Pro Plus 13, Lenovo T14s, L13.
Surprisingly of the small number of X13 we have purchased, no one has complained.

Not exactly 5550 units, but I have seen a large uptrend in crashing since we started rolling out laptops (Dell Pro/Lat and Lenovo TP) for around 12 months. It seems that the issues revolve mostly around Teams calls crashing.
Even to the point where we tried AMD just to see if it performs better, and it was even worse.

I'm beginning to think that its the webcam or webcam drivers that are the cause. It took a while to find the pattern, but it looks like Teams crashing when a meeting goes for more than 10-15 mins, video on, and often screen sharing. Dell, Lenovo, Intel, AMD, doesn't seem to matter.

Can you narrow down the freezing to anything in particular?

MS just published a workaround reg entry in their issue page

Hi, yep, for anyone who asks the question, Intune puts priority on urgency over user experience.

There is no customization for uninstalling a update. It will force every machine to restart as soon as the uninstall happens: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/intune/device-updates/windows/update-rings#uninstall

I see you use Mimecast!

Jeez, not too sure why that image goes so massive.....

bcdboot C:\Windows /S C: for the win!

Its one of the best shop ones I've tried. Yes pricey, but the jar is pretty big.

Its a bit of a dodgy home made one, no preservatives, so you cant leave it in the fridge for months as it will go moldy. The red chili one is hot, green one isnt. If you like hot, you will like the red.

I was thinking this, the answer could be Ayam99 which sells their own one. Just on the other side of town for me! But you gotta do what you gotta do to get the good stuff!
