That is spot on. Usually you would expect the manual to be hit and miss when it comes to troubleshooting but Microsoft is consistently miss, skipping the important parts and details.

Microsofts documentation is also increasingly just outright wrong:

if you spend enough time looking up things about their newer products like M365, defender, or azure, especially when it comes to scripting related to those, there's a ton of simply outdated info on the official docs that makes it really difficult to figure out why your setup isn't doing what it's supposed to.

from changed variable names, to missing functions, to unexplained buttons, etc., etc.

the newer docs are straight up trash!

you're better off searching around for forum posts or whatever, than using the official docs...

Yep, that's why I started the Lemmy .NET MAUI Community - try and reassemble the collective experts who got scattered when Microsoft shutdown the old Xamarin forum - they had been invaluable when I was trying to learn Xamarin from the Microsoft resources.
