    Touch scroll doesn't work fro some web pages

    I am using a Surface Pro (original). Some web pages will not scroll with touch, including the Bing search results page.

    calendar is missing events entered on my PC

    I just noticed that the calendar on my 8.1 phone displays none of the events that I entered on my W10 PC. However, events entered on my phone are displayed on my PC calendar, and events that my wife entered on her W10 PC are displayed on my phone calendar. Any suggestions on how to get my "PC"...

    I carelessly opened a .pdf attachment in an email that I later discovered was spam from a hacked yahoo account. The attachment didn't open in the .pdf reader, and I later deleted the .pdf file from my Lumia 925. I don't know whether my phone is infected or not. What should I do?

    How to refert from Windows 10 back to 8.1?

    After upgrading my Surface Pro from W8.1 to W10, I have discovered the hard way that Windows 10, even in tablet mode, is not touch-centric. (I also think that the W10 UI is much more cluttered by comparison, but I realize that that is a matter of taste.) How can I revert my Surface Pro from W10...

    I updated my Surface Pro from W8.1 to W10. In W10, I can't figure out how to add articles from MSN News and Finance applications to the Reading List, like I used to in W8.1. How can I add news articles to the Reading List? )The Microsoft Windows Reading List FAQ has no entries whatsoever.)

    I have just enabled photo backup to Onedrive on my L925. Presumably, all future photos will automatically be backed up to Onedrive.

    Previously, on my T-Mobile Lumia 925 with 8.0, I still had at least 50% charge remaining at the end of a typical day.
