As it turns out, it IS related to my computer's date and time but is most likely a bug on Microsoft's part. I had correct Date and Time for my timezone and turning auto sync on or off in the Settings app didn't fix anything. Going to the classic (Control Panel) Date and Time settings > Internet...

It's been a few days already.

Do you have the exact same problem as me?

wsreset.exe didn't work either. Isn't it only for the old Windows 8 Store?

I recently did a clean install of Windows 10 on my desktop PC and I haven't been able to use the Windows Store ever since. Every time i click on an app in order to download it I get a progress ring for a few seconds and then the store crashes. Settings an Downloads open just fine. My date and...

Unlike WPF/Windows Desktop apps, in Windows Phone you cannot create and show your own windows so you are given one and expected to put all of your functionality in it. Window.Current is a reference to the window given by the OS. The empty project template includes a piece of code located in...

You had been warned. It has been a well-known fact that the Windows 10 tech preview is unlike any before, with faster updates (and more bugs), from the very beginning.

Banned for being too much of a ***** to strike the ban hammer.

Not sure how many (if any) Windows Phones have the horsepower to do that since the network cards of most phones are too slow and torrenting requires a great bandwidth. You may need a backend service that torrents the movies and streams them directly to users. I love your design though.

That is simply not true. Apps don't run simoultaniously, unlike Android which still runs kinda good even on 1GB of RAM. Any decent non-game app will not use more than 300MB of memory. Did you forget to turn off background services on your phone from the Battery Saver app? Even the ones that are...

I prefer the old concept of sharing the same code for two different platforms/screen sizes, as separate projects and I'm happy they will still support that. As for the SDK I'm quite pleased to see some new controls in XAML and the old ones having a refreshing new look. Very little has been...

The ones "Interviewed" by Mashable are indie developers and while having them would be nice, they are not as relevant as bigger services and brands. We have our own independent developers developing exclusively for Windows, some of which are very talented. I'm not worried.

If you are only loading data locally it's a better idea to use a XAML ResourceDictionary. Read more about resource dictionaries here.

Project Ara, previously known as PhoneBlocks is now in late development stages and is a great implementation of a concept that was around ever since mobile devices exist. Building your own smartphone. Unfortunately, the original creator(s) are now working with Google and PA will probably only...

No way. The only software that will run on both mobile and desktop are the modern/RT apps and libraries. They are sandboxed and cannot contain viruses. Your phone won't run the classic Win32 programs and libraries(the ones with the viruses).
