MS365 issues 07/20/22
I only had one report of issues with MS Teams and Exchange yesterday. I check and reported to the client a degradation of Exchange services and Teams. Microsoft this a.m. has issued a statement about the service outage after it stretched into hours.
Microsoft has said a recent deployment that contained a "broken connection to an internal storage service" was the likely cause of an outage that left many users unable to access or use various Microsoft 365 apps for several hours.
The service issues, which started on the evening of Wednesday July 20 and continued into Thursday morning, slowed down or prevented access to several Microsoft services, including Microsoft Teams, Exchange Server, Microsoft 365 admin center, Yammer, Microsoft Word and other Office applications. The issue also prevented auto-patching within Microsoft Managed Desktop and other services.

Windows 11 stuff
Microsoft is deploying a new Autopatch service. It is a welcome relief for admins who have been having to deploy as many 100 updates/patches or more a month to Windows 11 machines.
Microsoft just changed the update policy recently, moving away from Patch Tuesday. Now they are shaking it up again with new Windows 11 features up to 4 times a year.
If your computer doesn't move the way it used to or it is now a bottleneck in your daily work or online life then consider upgrading to a new Intel based machine.
The newest Intel processors, Generation 10 and up offer power and advantage well above previous processors. In addition the mainboards and chipsets supporting these processors allow use of newer technologies and add-ons that further enhance computing power.
For example, consider hard drives. The older hard drives, SATA based are fine for storing vast amounts of photos, music and archive data but they pale greatly in speed compared to the newer SSDs, (Solid State Drives). However, not all SSDs are the same. Today there are SATA based SSDs that use the same interface as your older hardware drives. They are much faster than hard drives but even they cannot come close to SSDs based on NVMe technology.
SATA interface connect to your mainboard via a cable. NVMe plugs directly into your mainboard via an interface that directly accesses your system and provides unmatched read/write speeds.
NVMe drives offer instant computer start up and data access unmatched by SATA drives. However, not all NVMe drives are the same. Some offer speeds twice or 3 times quicker than others.
