I bought a laptop with free MS Office. However, I am unable to install it. I have made multiple complaints to Microsoft in various ways, all in vain. Kindly provide me with a solution within 2 days or else I will move to a consumer forum.

      Purchased Office home & student 2019 on 27 Jan 2020 from retailer at Kolkata. Installed in Mac on the same day by the retailer. Had difficulty in using the same as it was showing licence is not available. Try alternative account. When used the same user id and password with alternative account, it got activated temporarily for the session. Once the computer is switched off, it got deactivated and required reactivation every time for reuse of it.
      I raised this issue with customer service over phone and via email. However, it never got rectified. It forced me to use it with repeated reactivation. Could not contact retailer because of lockdown and covid pandemic
      Your system is currently not allowing further reactivation.
      This is a item for lifetime use and all the problems, I am facing, are not due to my fault.

      I have not received any feedback from Microsoft end till date
      More than 1 and 1/2 month passed, I am yet to receive any feedback from Microsoft.
      Do they give any importance to our complaints ?

        My new surface pro is overheating when using the touch screen for more than 15 miut
        I just got my new surface pro 2020 2 week ago.

        The problem come when start using the touch screen, the surface start to get worm from the top back then the device is totally overheating after 15-20 mins up to the limit that you can’t really hold it comfortably.

        This is happening with normal internet browsing!

        Software is updated, no programs running in the background, plus I have tried all possible troubleshooting methods mentioned here in the community but the problem still persist.
        My last hope was to do factory rest, I did that plus I re installed & run all the updates as recommended by the system to make sure that the windows are up to date, i didn't install or download any additional program … but unfortunately again & again it’s getting overheated just with normal browsing! ☹

        Is this the normal permeance for the new surface pro?

        Any advice, any help will be really appreciated

          On 4th September, 2020, I requested you by e-mail to discontinue the subject subscription due to be renewed on 19th September, 2020. Inspite of my instruction, you have renewed the subscription and charged my Card account with Rs. 4, 199.00.
          I have Turned Off Recurring Billing for my Microsoft 365 Personal Subscription today (16th October, 2020) but understand that this will be effective September 19, 2021.

              Address: Mumbai

              Respected sir/maam,

              My trail period was to end on 9th of july however on 2nd july they charged my credit card voilating the policy. The below is the mail of communications on mail received & the forum.

              I have left my message on thier site since 2nd july & yet nobody had bothered to reply or refund my amount.

              Please help me get my refund

              (My message to microsoft on site and on mail below)

              Dear team,

              Please cancel my office 365 trail subscription now and issue me a refund, my card has been charged before 30 days.

              I had received your mail which mentioned
              "we hope you're enjoying your trial of microsoft 365 family that started on thursday, july 9, 2020. Thank you!
              We want to let you know that your trial period is ending soon. Unless you cancel two days before sunday, august 9, 2020, we’ll charge ₹ 5, 299.00 every year to your visa *",

              However today is 2nd august and my card has been debited already.

              I do not wish to continue my trail for office 365 & request you to kindly refund rs.5299/- charged to me.

              I am shocked to see that a simple process of cancelling a subscription has taken me more than 45 mins of my life searching on your microsoft site & yet did not find a simple door for exit.

              Tip : tech giant should get more sensitive towards customers needs for solutions even if they want to part ways on a subscription. Leaving this kind of harrowing impression is not good.

              Please cancel my subscription & issue refund immediately please team

              Regards

              Ca. Virag shah

                    Company has been requested to repair or replace a unit. There have been 100+ emails to the company outsourced customer service and no one is replying. Once a return label to ship the unit was sent but the company chosen by microsoft to ship the unit is not serving in india domestically. So i am stuck, i have asked them to choose or accept other carrier but they haven't been replying.in the meanwhile, another part of the product has stopped working. Microsoft needs to fix this, they do not have a contact email for india and continue to serve poorly.

                            Automatic reeboot we can't use it. We resetted the system so many times nothing could happen we want a complaint id for replacement because it is only 2, 3 days old please do the needful for this case. I think the software is corrupted on this device. Why is this happening. I am not satisfied with this product we want a new one. We don't get any support from the service team we do our best to solve the problem nothing happened

                              The problems with my first smartphone (Microsoft lumia 650) have now become a headache. The phone is frequently restarting and battery life is very low. Not only that, the phone is powered by power bank all the time. No update is currently available. Now whats app and facebook are dead. The only quality of this phone is the camera quality and the display.
                              Now i am wondering why you bought this phone for a penny. I bought this phone for a modest salary of rs 14, 999. You couldn't keep any promise you made when you bought the phone. Please return my phone and give me another phone.

                                Microsoft insists they send me a text number to my phone to unlock my account (Which i have no idea why it was frozen in the first place) but i don't have a telephone with texting capabilities and there is absolutely nowhere to call someone in canada to get through to them. These computer questions they have do not relate to my problem. I have tried for days to find some way of making them understand to no avail. I hate microsoft!

                                      On 26th october, i purchased office 365 for installation on my macbook. The ios for my macbook is catalina, the latest. I paid for the office 365 product and downloaded the apps on my mac. However, every time i want to open any app like ms word, or ms powerpoint, i am prompted to but office 365. When i log in with my mail id and password, ms tells me that there is no record of my purchase. This is ridiculous. I have spoken with apple and they tell me that the problem is at the microsoft end. As for reaching out to speak to someone in microsoft, its impossible. My number is +91-[protected].

                                      The way i see it, microsoft sucks big time. They make it harder for any customer to reach them.

                                        Dear sir/madam,
                                        This is to bring this to you kind notice that my pf transfer is pending with rpfc, hyderabad to account no ap/hyd/52091/3878 with microsoft corporation. Please check annexure k (For details).

                                        I have already raised a grievance registered with registration number robnd/e/2018/19614 to [protected]@epfindia.gov.in (Attached response) for the same.
                                        This is very surprising that this transfer of pf has not taken place till date though more than one and half years have passed.

                                        Please let me know what the status of my request.
