I installed the latest version with the AutoUpdate and now it seems to work- weird issue.
On another note: the Microsoft AutoUpdate keeps disappearing, so I constantly need to reinstall it.

It's Office 365, so it's usually the most recent release version. I avoid the Insider builds for Office (even though I do use Insider builds for Windows 10 on my MSI laptop) because I need those apps fully operational for school.
I just updated to the same version and switching slides in the sidebar now works for me.
Yes you’re right - I see that version was released today!

To not use MacOS 11 due to Sur sounding like a rude word is a bit of a silly reason. You could just refer to us as MacOS 11, instead.
Thanks for the tip. Now if I can only get the Luminar Extension to work in Photos app.Luminar 4 seems to be working but my library is missing even though everything is in the same place. Any one else having an issue?
View attachment 926353
EDIT: Just had to right click and choose locate folder. Everything is working.
So i need help, Microsoft is refusing to help me any further with this. MS Edge browser, all vertion dev, bets and final vertion refuse to open, the icon bounces and then closes with no errors. Under a different profile Ms Edge opens fine, now everything else works as it should under my main profile, how can i fix this one single issue? i do not want to format my Imac obv for just EDGE, its not the end of the world but would be nice to get it to work properly. Im sure others had this issue before with app icon jsut bouncing around and then nothing happens? any suggestions is greatly appreciated.
Deliveries (Junecloud) does not appear to be working. Existing entries track, but adding a new entry results in a forever spinning cursor.
Have you tried the canary version? I was having issues with Edge Dev closing down or not opening at all, but the canary version works perfectly fine.
Luminar 4 still not working on DP b2. This is most likely something the developer has to address.
That is especially true, because Sur is Spanish for “south” ... and like everything else in California it is in Spanish. Originally it referred to the coastal region south of the then capital Monterrey. (It was moved inland for safety)
Parallels can be used. If you hold fn while pressing the non functioning keys (i.e. 1,2,t,y) they work just fine.
Hope this helps
