When Microsoft made the transition away from “everyone is an admin all the time” to “even admins aren’t admins all the time,” it is estimated that up to one in five enterprise applications were impacted.
A new service designed to address issues with Windows 10 and Office 365 ProPlus app compatibility. has been released. When you request the Desktop App Assure service, a FastTrack Specialist works with you throughout your migration to Windows 10 and Office 365 ProPlus.
