TranscriptAn outlook email saying: "Hello Im getting this message on my outlook, I press allow and the error message goes away but comes back and the cycle repeats."

I screenshot of the message shows it has a "Don't ask me about this website again" checkbox, which the user should have seen and pressed to stop the issue they're complaining about.

I hate how you reading what is there written in plain english on the screen makes you an expert to most people.

My parents have an equivalent. The computer is broken. We reproduce the problem. An error message appears and they close the popup immediately.

Me: why did you close the window? It explained the error. Them: oh its annoying...

I still wonder how they got so much money to buy computers.

I have one sibling that does this, drives me insane. Did you read the message?

Do you ignore the messages on the car dash too?

If only there was a way to configure exchange discovery correctly to avoid interrupting end users with noise.
