New errors under home page activities and user tasks. Err: Error: Invalid format of GUID string.

Beginning this morning, we are seeing errors under home page activities and user tasks.  Err:  Error: Invalid format of GUID string. The correct format of the GUID string is: CDEF7890-ABCD-0123-1234-567890ABCDEF where 0-9, A-F symbolizes hexadecimal digits..  Since this has started occurring without any specific environment changes, i assume it's something on the backend Microsoft.  thanks in advance for any advice.

    Hi
    Do you have any customization on these pages? This error appears if there is a formatting error.

    i do not believe there is any customization on this page.  But regardless, we have had no environment changes, so this seems to be something deeper.

    Even if there haven’t been any specific environment changes, check for any recent updates or patches applied to your Dynamics 365 environment. Sometimes, backend updates can introduce unexpected issues.

    Does this problem occur when using the Super user?
    Or does this problem occur when switching to other roles?
    This error may be displayed when the user does not have sufficient permissions.
     
    Hope this can give you some hints.
    Thanks.

    i appreciate all the responses.  The issue was resolved once I did a reset on the personalization - only had to do for one person in our organization and it was resolved for all users after that.  Weird problem and resolution.  thanks, Phil
