I tried the unsubscribe, the response was “This action cannot be completed.” Really, Microsoft?
Thank you for this article. We try to teach our users to be suspicious of unknown, unsolicited emails and not click on the links in them. Then MS starts sending this useless spam without opting in.
We weren’t able to save your settings. Please wait a few minutes and try again.
Microsoft showing this message after I’m trying to uncheck “let people in your organization receive Briefing email.” I did it more than 10 times and the same message.
We also tried this, but keep getting the message that settings weren’t able to be saved. Please wait for a few minutes and try again. Tried it for several days, but not working.
I can confirm that this is happening at the moment in my Microsoft 365 tenants. I already talked to Microsoft about it. Just wait, and they will fix it, and then you can disable the Microsoft Viva briefing email.
Update March 14, 2022: Microsoft fixed it, and I can confirm that in my tenants.
Microsoft REALLY wants us to receive these emails, to the point that it is suspicious. I have tried to block it, marking it has junk, I have used the Ignore button. (All this because I don’t usually use unsubscribe as some devious organizations use that to prove that you exist). Went to the Admin Center to turn off for the entire organization – it will not SAVE my changes. It will accept my feedback. I have tried the unsubscribe in the email. Will see if this works or if I will have an email tomorrow morning.
