The user reported issues where only half the questions appeared when previewing or sharing the form, even after checking multiple troubleshooting methods. The user has sections and confirmed the issue persists across multiple browsers and modes (private, incognito). The user also recreated and duplicated the form.
Troubleshooting Steps
Based on the user's experience and initial troubleshooting attempts, several areas need further investigation:
Account Type: The user needs to specify whether they are using a personal account (@gmail.com, @outlook.com) or a business account (@organization.com). Account type can sometimes affect the behavior of Microsoft Forms.
Organizational Issue: Determine if others in the user's organization are experiencing the same problem. This could indicate a broader issue, possibly related to settings or configurations.
Recreating & Duplicating: The user has already tried recreating and duplicating the form, which is a good troubleshooting step, but it did not resolve the problem.
Browser Compatibility: The user has tried multiple browsers and private/incognito modes, which is also good practice. Further testing of the form link on different devices is recommended.

Possible Solutions & Further Guidance
If the problem persists after the initial troubleshooting steps, consider these actions:
Review Section Logic: Double-check if any section logic or branching is inadvertently hiding questions. Although the original user stated no branching, it's essential to verify.
Browser Cache/Cookies: Clear your browser's cache and cookies to eliminate any potential conflicts.
Form Size and Complexity: While unlikely to be the direct cause, excessively large or complex forms sometimes encounter display limitations. Simplify sections, if possible.
Contact Microsoft Support: If the issue remains unresolved, reach out to Microsoft Support directly. They can provide specific assistance for your account and setup.
