    Does anyone have any suggestions for the best place to get support for Sharepoint? I am struggling to get a site column linked to a terms store. Most "support" sites I find appear to send requests to a black hole. Very hard to find genuine expert help.

          Yes, they do offer support, but it is slow and not always provided by people who know the product. IMHO.

                Take a look at [SharePoint Maven.](https://sharepointmaven.com/) I've had a lot of good luck getting help on this site.

                  You're not suggesting their answer to everything is:

                  1. Run sfc /scannow
                  2. Run dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth
                  3. Wipe your computer and reinstall from scratch

                  are you? :laugh:

                      cut your losses and move on.

                          Thank you, yes, been through that. Those are the instructions I am following but the site column still won;t accept the metadata as a link.

                            Not yet, right now they are concentrating on ignoring me to see if I go away. I predict they will win.

                                Too funny. I live in the world of embedded systems where nothing ever dies. Nothing. We've contacted customers before that have no idea our product is running on their production line (until it dies). So, Microsoft had perfectly good support with usenet groups - but well - we need to pull them into Microsoft. Then they modded that to their forums which were okay - but clearly there was a move on to hide data from google (screw you developers and customers). Now they have the catastrophe of learn.microsoft.com where nothing is organized the magical search button and tags (generated by users) will find the data. It's a fluster cluck. Good luck... (said in Taken movie style)
