Frustrated by Expired Sessions on Microsoft Tech Community? Here’s How to Fix It!

Are you a Microsoft employee trying to engage with the Microsoft Tech Community and getting stuck with “Session Expired” errors? You’re not alone! This message can be frustrating, especially if you’re in the middle of an important action.

Don’t worry, there’s a simple solution. This article will guide you through troubleshooting the issue and getting back to collaborating on the Tech Community.

The Problem:

You might encounter an error message stating “Your session expired and your last action was not completed successfully.” This usually occurs when your login session on the Microsoft Tech Community times out.

The Fix:

1. Refresh the Page: Sometimes, a simple refresh is all it takes to renew your session. Click the refresh button in your browser to try again.

2. Clear Cache and Cookies: Outdated cache and cookies can sometimes cause session issues. Try clearing your browser’s cache and cookies, then log back in to the Microsoft Tech Community.

3. Restart Your Browser: Closing and restarting your browser completely can often resolve temporary glitches that might be causing the problem.

4. Check Your Internet Connection: Ensure you have a stable internet connection. A weak or disconnected internet could lead to session timeouts.

If the Error Persists:

If you continue to experience the “Session Expired” error after trying these steps, there might be a more specific issue. Here’s what to do:

1. Gather Information: Take a screenshot of the error message and note down any actions you were performing when it occurred.

2. Report the Issue: Head to the Microsoft Tech Community and use the search bar to find the relevant forum or discussion thread related to your issue.

3. Create a New Post: Create a new post in the appropriate forum detailing the error message, any specific actions you were taking, and include the screenshot you captured.

By following these steps and providing detailed information, you’ll help the Microsoft Tech Community team identify and address the root cause of the issue, allowing you to get back to collaborating on the platform smoothly.
