Been trying to do this for weeks, but i'm stuck

[Read here first]

I'm a computer engineer (with only a few months of experience), who recently got contracted at a local irrigation company.

One of the main things my boss told me when he gave me my contract is that he wanted to implement Microsoft 365 into his business. (one of his main ideas been the image you see above [which he made by talking to AI, by the way])

Now, so far, i understand how most of the apps work and how they interact with each other (typical Word, Excel, Outlook & Onedrive document management + sharing through Sharepoint + Teams).

The issue comes once his project introduced me to apps that i am not so familiar (Lists, Planner, Power Automate).

Now so far, i think i got the hang of Lists (and managed to connect it to Teams via Power Automate).

But things got really complicated once he asked me to interconnect Lists + Planner + Teams through Power Automate.

For the record, i think Power Automate s*cks, (most of the stuff either doesn't work or is unecesarily complicated), and Planner Basic (the one included in Microsoft 365 Business), is pretty bare, [at least, considering what my boss wants to do.]

I ask you guys if someone can clarify the steps i should follow (i've gotten real dizzy at this point and neither AI or Youtube tutorials seem to help on the matter) [AI gets things wrong most of the time, and most Youtube channels assume you have Planner Premium]

Outlook 2021 LTSC not refreshing inbox properly

Hi there, i ran into an annoying issue today (and sadly my boss only gave me about 12 hours to solve it).

So, aside from diggining the solution on my own, i'd like to ask the community for a solution/advice.

Bit of context: The company i work for pays yearly for an email hosting service, and some of my collegues connect to it using the IMAP protocol, while others use POP3 (so far, no problems there).

But here's the thing, today, for some reason, my boss' Outlook client started malfunctioning, specifically, his inbox only updates when he starts up his Outlook client, and even if he refreshes manually, his inbox won't update unless he fully resets the program.

He has 14GB's worth of mail data in there (he uses IMAP + SSL certification by the way), and he isn't exactly the world's most patient man. So you can imagine fully re-setting his Outlook profile isn't my first choice of work.

I've tried lots of possible solutions already and none of them seem to work (i'd consider moving him up to the "New" Outlook app, but he also uses "Classic" Outlook for managing his calendar/events, so i'm afraid he'd get mad at me if some of his digital calendar got lost/messed up).

Really hope someone here could lend me a hand (or at least some advice before i have to meet the big man face-to-face tomorrow).

Anyway, i'll keep looking up seeing what i can find.

Wish me luck! ✌️

PC at work can't use all it's RAM

PC at work can't use all it's RAM

A co-worker's PC is having trouble accesing it's 4GB of installed system memory, according to the Task Manager, 1.6GB of the total memory are "reserved for hardware" despite the computer having it's own dedicated GPU.

I've tried lots of different BIOS and Windows configurations, but nothing seems to work (and i'd appreciate trying to spend as little cash as possible if new hardware was required.)

Here i leave the PC's hardware (and OS):

\- Motherboard: Gigabyte H110M-DS2-CF

\- RAM: 4GB DDR4

\- GPU: Nvidia GT 710 (1GB)

\- OS: Windows 10 20H2 (32-Bit, because of legacy software)

Edit: For anyone wondering, yes, the integrated GPU is disbled, and in fact, enabling it makes the system reserve another +300MB of extra RAM.
