I'm up a gumtree without a paddle. I have been running around in circles for a week trying to get this solved.
I had migrated my old HDD with Windows 10 Pro on it over to a new machine, and a new SATA SSD drive. I used Macrium Reflect to image the drive over. This was an MBR booted system...

Microsoft’s Copilot for Microsoft 365 was supposed to make AI agents safer to run at enterprise scale; instead, recent reports show a control-plane failure that left some agents discoverable and installable despite tenant-level policy locks—forcing administrators into time-consuming, per-agent...
Microsoft’s Copilot agent governance has slid into the spotlight after multiple, independent reports found that tenant-level policies intended to prevent user access to AI agents were not reliably enforced — a misconfiguration and control-plane gap that left some Copilot Agents discoverable or...
