Back around May 31, WindowsCentral promoted a LifeHacker sale for Windows 11 Pro licenses for $39.99 ("79% off"). The post is still up: https://www.windowscentral.com/software-apps/windows-11/grab-windows-11-pro-for-79-off-right-now#xenforo-comments-524412 While that price seemed too good to...

Windows Central seems to have lost dark mode and support for comments. Windows and Android apps don't get new articles published after this change. Is this temporary or a permanent change?

First, let me say that I LOVE my Surface Duo 2. Unfortunately, the first one I received had a weak battery -- on a full charge, it only lasted a few hours. Clearly, it was just a defective battery. That can happen to any phone, and I wasn't concerned... until I tried to get it fixed. This...

I know the Duo 2 has a bigger battery than Duo 1, but it seems to me to drain much more quickly, like 1% every 2 minutes while playing a game (3 hours to 0%). This is not a 3D game, just a simple 2D casual game like Plants vs. Zombies 2. Other activities seem OK (not sure yet if they're better...

I suspect the Steam Deck is a legal offering (possible that selling a WINE-based system for profit violates MS copyrights on its API's, but probably not -- I think the courts have generally held that's permissible as long as it's not using MS code, which it's probably not), but as an MS fan...

For the first time, I'm having trouble with auto-rotate on my Surface Duo. It seems to be a software issue, because it started immediately following the latest update. Restarting the Duo always fixes it as does closing it and waiting several minutes (if only waiting a few seconds, there's no...

I assume this is just a complaint, but maybe someone knows better. I have a question about local file play in free Spotify (seems like that's only in Premium version on Android). I understand that Spotify provides no support for their free users, fair enough. So I tried to sign into the...

I am able to sync music between PC and Windows either via Explorer or the old Windows Media Player (Developer Mode -> change default USB to File Transfer). But I don't think Windows Media Playlists are usable elsewhere. Groove no longer works on Android. I own (or buy) all the music I want, so I...

I've only been using it a few days, so maybe just unlucky, but I definitely seem to have no signal on my Duo in places where I had a weak but definitely usable signal on my Samsung Galaxy S10. Is anyone else finding this? This is on Verizon, so Wi-Fi calling apparently isn't an option either. I...

Richard Devine's recent post indicated that PCIe 4.0 devices are not compatible with older motherboards. I think (but welcome feedback and correction if I'm wrong) that the issues is simply that PCIe 4.0 devices are limited to PCIe 3 speeds on older motherboards, but that they will actually...

I've become incredibly frustrated that in spite of Microsoft's leadership with the Surface Studio, the only external monitor to support both touch + Ink is the Dell Canvas, currently at about $1,700. There are plenty of sub $500 touch only (Dell P2418HT) or Active-Pen-only (XP-Pen Artist series)...

Upon a restart, my Logitech Brio scans my face (red light flashing), but then it always says it doesn't recognize me. I can login fine with password, PIN, or fingerprint. If I then manually lock the computer (Win+L) and try to log back in with face recognition, the red light on the BRIO flashes...

I have a 3 year old child with his own account on a Windows 10 tablet that he shares with my 7 year-old daughter. Each of them has a limited amount of time they can use the device each day, controlled via the Family settings on our Live/Outlook.com accounts. That works great, but it also means...

I'm trying to figure out if I have a bad CR-200, or if this is normal behavior. I have 2 Lumia 928's. I know those are not the intended device for this charger, but I thought the only problem was supposed to be that the clamp touches the camera button. I don't have an issue with that -- as long...

I recently bought the DT-910. After some initial trouble adding the Nokia Accessories section to Settings (I had to find a QR code link to be able to install it, because it doesn't appear in the Store and wasn't on my Lumia 928 otherwise), I was enjoying the Weather & Calendar screen saver for...
