Really love this strap. Icing on the cake would have been if the metal parts weren’t silver, at least for the connectors. But I can live with that. Wrist fit is great.

Dear all,
I got issues on some clients with PIN Login and WHfB.
Microsoft Ticket is already open but it's just the standard support we got and I'm not putting too much hope into this, hence asking here if someone has an idea.
As I tried to be quite detailed with opening the ticket I will paste again what I submitted.
Anyone got an idea? I reckon the main issue is that sync was paused while users set up the PIN...
Environment
* Microsoft Entra ID Hybrid Join
* Windows Hello for Business
* Cloud Kerberos Trust
* Microsoft Intune (Settings Catalog)
* Windows 11 Enterprise 24H2
* OS Build: 26100.8655
* Microsoft Entra Connect Sync
* TPM 2.0 available and functional

Problem Description
We recently rolled out Windows Hello for Business using Cloud Kerberos Trust to our Hybrid Entra ID environment.
The rollout was initially successful and many users are using Windows Hello without any issues.
However, a small number of users can no longer sign in to Windows using their PIN.
The issue only affects Windows sign-in.
The PIN is successfully created and registered, but Windows logon fails immediately afterwards.

Error
During Windows sign-in using PIN:
Windows Hello for Business Event 7001
Provisioning Type: Cloud Trust
Authentication failure status: 0xC000005E
Authentication failure substatus: 0x0
The PIN setup itself succeeds without errors.

Policy is identical on working and affected devices.
Already verified
The following items have already been ruled out:
* Hybrid Join
* Entra Join
* Device Registration
* TPM
* Azure PRT
* Cloud TGT
* OnPrem TGT
* Key Trust configuration
* Cloud Kerberos Trust policy
* Windows Hello provisioning
* Key registration
* Key writeback
* Intune policy application
* Entra Connect synchronization
* Duplicate Hello containers
Troubleshooting already performed
Performed on affected devices:
* Deleted Windows Hello container
certutil -DeleteHelloContainer
* Recreated PIN
* Re-registered Windows Hello
* Confirmed successful key registration
* Confirmed msDS-KeyCredentialLink
* Delta synchronization
* dsregcmd /refreshprt
* sfc /scannow
Windows Resource Protection found and repaired corrupted system files.
* DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
completed successfully.
Problem persists.
Additional Information
The issue started shortly after Azure AD Connect synchronization resumed.
Azure AD Connect had been unintentionally paused because the Azure AD Connect Configuration Wizard remained open.
During this period, some users successfully enrolled Windows Hello for Business.
After synchronization resumed, only these users appear to be affected.
However, after deleting and recreating Windows Hello, the issue still persists.
Comparison with Working Devices
Working Hybrid devices have:
* identical Intune policies
* identical registry configuration
* identical Windows version
* identical Cloud Kerberos Trust configuration
The only significant difference identified so far is:
Affected devices log:
User Device Registration
Event 214
CloudAP
The implementation cannot perform the request.
Working devices never generate this event.
Dear Bevel Team. Looking at issues with iOS Beta I am confident you guys are already busy getting this solved. How about giving access to latest dev version via Testflight? I'd be more than happy to be Guinea pig.
Hi all,
I am well aware of multiple posts about that topic so my apologies for doing it again but I can't get my head around what would be the correct way forward.
I'm on a Mac mini M4 Pro with MacOS 27 Beta.
My Siri / language and region settings are as in following screenshots.
Update: For who is wondering as well: On system side, language must be set explicitly to English US. English only isn't enough. Got the waitlist now.
I believe that on MacOS Region is regardless. However, Siri in Settings is showing up as in the screenshot. Also I can't see any remark about indexing (not sure if that should show up on Mac at all).
Can anyone please advise what I have to do to move on and get this working?
Thanks a bunch.
Wallpaper is AI generated. Liquid Glass Slider moved to far right 😎
Already had that multiple times and it was about time to so it again.
Some screenshots from my setup. I thought intentions behind could be of interest for one or the other. Please find some remarks below each screenshot.
Basically all is intended to be a one page setup. 2nd page I like to call "helper page".
Homescreen should only contain stuff for which I actively want to see Notification Badges.
This is what's behind my action button. 4 shortcuts to open or close blinds in 2 rooms (quicker than speaking to Siri or opening Home app). 4 app openers.
Folder for quick accessing regularly needed short cuts (Power Menu, Notification to my wife that the cats got their food and adding a reminder once I changed fluid in my cleaning device for glasses) plus Calmaria which I use once a day and don't want to pollute my lower bar.
Additionally a widget for HA sync. Widget is needed so that automatic sync is working.
App syncs data from Health to HomeAssistant.
Helper screen
Communication folder. Selection explained in intro.
Work folder. Also only containing apps where I actively want to see notification badges.
Homescreen. Added the left widget due to... Well, I kinda like it 😄
Lockscreen. No real intentions here.
Dark Knight on Lockscreen and I also had ChatGPT tint the home screen wallpaper a little bit. Looking even better than before in my opinion as icons and glass get more prominent on home screen.
Unfortunately too dumb to get the clock hiding slightly behind.
As an alternative to Masterchief from my earlier Posting
Since 2 days my Watch starts a training on its own. Training reminders are switched off. Seems to be the type of training I ran before. No notification or so, workout just starts. Already rebooted the watch, no change. Any advise?
