I used to subscribe to Windows Central in my news feed for the helpful technical information and news. What happened? My news feed has been absolutely buried by probably over 125 posts today alone trying to get me to click links to go make purchases. I can't remember when i saw the last non -...

noirsoft, the best way to find out is to just try. No one from Harman or Microsoft is watching this thread, so you are basically on your own. Give it a try and good luck. -Gamely Lounges

Spurlock, not sure what's going on but you should be fine. They said they will be pushing out this recent update for at least several months. Just keep the Invoke on and connected to your wifi. check out this FAQ page from HK: Cortana service on the Harman Kardon Invoke (microsoft.com)

Today my Invoke is now ONLY a bluetooth speaker. I would at least like them to make the damn thing a speakerphone (with microphones). I tweeted @HarmanKardon today to ask for help. I suggest you all do the same. I don't think there's any shot of them keeping "wifi" abilities like Spotify...

Here are some random thoughts. As background, I just switched from an iPhone 7 to Samsung Note 20 Ultra about 1 month ago. DeX vs Your Phone So far, Your Phone seems to be pretty reliable and also seems to take a lot less resources. My typical usage and intent is to have my phone connected to...

Laura, I tried your suggestion. Samsung email worked okay. After that I did retry my same in Outlook, which all of a sudden now works okay. No idea what was wrong, what changed, and why it now works okay. Thank you for that suggestion. Problem is mysteriously solved.

Hi all, I'm trying to switch from iOS to Android (Samsung Note 20). In iOS, the Outlook app used to easily handle my multiple personal and my work account. In Android, it turns out the work account requires a secure profile. For some reason, even though all of my personal and work accounts are...

Dan Rubino - You have been a great advocate for the MS / Windows and related ecosystem. It's a real shame to see the Invoke getting crippled as Cortana is phased out. I've always wanted to be able to use the Invoke as a speakerphone ... you'd think it would make a high quality speakerphone...

Hi all, I'd love some help understanding the reality versus the hype for what Samsung and Microsoft announced a couple days ago during Samsung Unpacked 2020. My specific area of focus is around the messaging and calling, and how my phone can connect to my Windows 10 pc and act seamlessly...

@spicypadthai your answer (REBOOT) worked for me! i turned off my computer and left if off for some time. restarted, and now everything works again. Thanks

Hi, Is anyone else missing their bluetooth on / off toggle button? Under bluetooth & other devices I no longer have an icon toggle button to turn Bluetooth on and off. Also, I can't find the Bluetooth icon under my notifications / actions center or system tray. And when I go to device manager...

Hi all, I'm wondering if anyone can comment on the stock levels of Surface Pro 5 (SP5) devices at Microsoft Stores? Does anyone have any info on how many SP5s are still in stock around the USA? Thanks, Gamely Lounges

I just wanted to shout out a GREAT BIG HURRAY! I'm so happy that this website is now ad free. Fantastic news. Thanks to the Windows Central Team for making this site such a great place for Windows fans to get info and hang out. I don't know how you managed to go ad free, but please accept my...

Demineerija, If you see this, can you please give us some more details on your settings? Thanks!

I'm pretty disappointed with battery life. In particular, I've noticed that my battery life is a LOT less recently. I've got an SP5 / 2017, Core i5 machine that I use basically as a desktop replacement (pretty much permanently charging on the docking station). Purchased sometime in Feb 2017...
