Interesting -- mine did exactly the same at the exact same time! I wonder what caused it?

No worries -- thanks James!

Just a quick heads-up -- the emails I'm getting from Windows Central when someone replies to my comment still have 'WPCentral' in the 'From' header. The subject and body are fine, it's only the From that is incorrect.

I installed the new build on my SP3 this morning, and once the hardware update was installed it stopped rebooting and flickering the screen and everything seems fine. However the only issue left seems to be that apps crash when trying to play video (both WinRT apps like Plex and Win32 apps like...

Thanks, I genuinely missed that. I did PM you a week before creating the WP Central one but hadn't heard back from you about it. I defer to your one, however. Possibly it could be made a little more obvious in the first post? I'm not sure if many people know that it exists.

I've created a WP Central clan for Destiny -- more info here: http://forums.windowscentral.com/xbox-one/312022-destiny-wp-central-clan.html A clan is perhaps a nicer way for us to coordinate raids and co-op play than relying on following hundreds of profiles and watching the forum for new posts.

Nokia Firm/Firmware Drive crashes when trying to access C:\WINDOWS\System32. Sorry, I don't trust it if it 'needs' to write to that folder.

Quite possibly. It's probably one of the features that requires drivers from the Cyan firmware.

Not exactly. If the TV supports Miracast or you have a Miracast dongle, and your phone is one of the newer ones that supports the wireless Project My Screen feature, then you can project right from your phone to the TV.

Here's an app for people enjoying Start backgrounds on 8.1: Accent Builder Accent Builder is a twist on the idea of creating solid colour backgrounds for your Start screen, going further by allowing you to set multiple columns of colour to align with your columns of tiles. This can help you...

Because Beamer is over the internet; this is local and fast and without any lag.

Lots of things. One I can see is playing mobile games on a larger screen. Another is for game reviewers to video their game, or people to Twitch stream their gameplay. Ultimately, now the feature is there I'm sure many people will find interesting ways of using it.
