About this tag
The university tag on WindowsForum.com covers a range of technical issues encountered by students, faculty, and staff in higher education settings. Discussions include problems with printing from Microsoft Word on Windows Server 2016, where print logs incorrectly record only one copy despite multiple copies being sent. Users also report difficulties connecting to university Wi-Fi networks, such as credentials disappearing before entry is complete. Other topics involve selecting Windows tablets for university use, troubleshooting Ethernet connectivity in campus housing, and resolving random startup repair loops on Windows 7 machines across a university environment. Additionally, the tag includes references to the Office Insider program for Office 365 University subscribers and university-related app development contests.
