I’m a Finnish Software Developer Entrepreneur living as a hermit on the beautiful Finnish countryside. Koskila.net is my personal professional (i.e. professional, but definitely personal) website.

On this site, I’m blogging about all kinds of exciting and/or tricky topics. Mostly just to write them down for myself.
See a few of my latest blog articles below:
- Clipboard History disabled – “This setting is managed by your organization?” | Easy fix!
Reinstalling a Windows machine is always a lot of fun! And that’s why I’ve been more and more of my time doing just that. See, my most favorite pastimes over the last few months have been staring at System Restore failing, endless reboot loops, looking for lost Bitlocker keys and…Continue reading Clipboard History disabled – “This setting is managed by your organization?” | Easy fix! - Windows Search not finding anything? That might be the default now, but you don’t need to accept it!
This article explains how to tweak Windows Search so that it finds something. Or better yet – that it finds even the files that your applications are trying to HIDE from you (by storing your personal files under Application Data folder)! Microsoft is actively trying to hide these files from…Continue reading Windows Search not finding anything? That might be the default now, but you don’t need to accept it! - “The Copilot key isn’t connected to an action. Choose what you’d like to happen when you press the Copilot key”
So about a year ago, I paid (or made my employer pay) 4000 USD to get an AI-PC. That laptop had no AI features whatsoever, so its NPU is still in brand new condition. Great savings abound if I ever end up selling it! 😜 But about 6 months later,…Continue reading “The Copilot key isn’t connected to an action. Choose what you’d like to happen when you press the Copilot key” - How to remove Skype for Business, if it sneaks back onto your machine?
This article explains how to uninstall Skype for Business when it’s not visible in your Control Panel, Settings, Installed apps or Programs and features. This article also (accidentally) underlines the futility of using a separate uninstaller application. They’ll typically introduce more trouble than they’re worth. But let’s get to it.…Continue reading How to remove Skype for Business, if it sneaks back onto your machine?
What’s koskila.net about?
The tagline for my blogging efforts has been Solutions are worthless unless shared for quite a while already. That’s to say, since I’ve gotten a lot of help from the community whenever I’ve had issues getting something to work, I like to give something back. This blog is my way of doing that.
Blogging has been a great, lightweight way to sort my thoughts and document weird fixes and findings along the way. And boy, has there been a lot of them! Microsoft’s stack always keeps surprising me – mostly in a positive way, but there’s an occasional bump on the way too.
These are some of the topics I often write about: Azure Active Directory errors, Azure PowerShell errors, terrifying examples about how to open a modal dialog in SharePoint using JavaScript, all kinds of weird new Microsoft Azure -related tidbits of information, a bunch of Visual Studio -related (and other) tips and tricks, and of course the blog’s namesake – SharePoint Problems.
A lot of people seem to struggle with the same issues, as the blog recently had just shy of a million visitors in a year. Mind-blowing. May you find my thoughtful workarounds as useful as I have!
In addition to more technical posts, sometimes I might post about my sessions at different community events, or experiences as an expat living in a foreign country (in 2017, that country was the USA, in 2018 & 2019 Canada). Right before the pandemic, I moved back to Finland to live in the middle of a forest. Quite literally, as I need to somewhat regularly scare moose away or they’ll eat our apples and trample my robots. Our pests are large.
Speaking Gigs
Back in the olden days, when the world was not on fire, I used to travel to different events. Now it’s all digital, which is… Not quite the same.
You can also see a list of all my sessions and session materials.
