    Create persistent notifications in Outlook Calendar

    Some time back, I made a change, in Outlook, so that Calendar reminders would stay on my screen until I cleared them. For whatever reason, I cannot remember how I did it. Can anyone help?

    Cortana has become useless for me

    Cortana was never highly useful, to me, but it has been going downhill for some time. Hey Cortana went away, way back, and has never reappeared. This is ridiculous! Today, I brought up Cortana and said "set a timer for 10 minutes" she replied "I'm sorry, but I can't help with that yet"...

    Losing wifi connection every few minutes

    I have purchased an Insignia Flex 8 tablet and updated it to 14393.187. Every few minutes, I lose the WiFi connection. First, it hangs and then I get an error saying that it is connected to the router but there is no internet! I am not having any issues with my 650 or my Surface 2. I'm...

    Cannot Hard Reset 650 -- Updated

    My 650 just got updated to 14393.189. I had a big problem with my SD card and I need to do a hard reset :-( As I have reset protection, I entered my PIN, it says 'Restarting, but, then it errors saying 'Oops! Looks like we ran into a problem trying to turn off Reset Protection. Make sure...

    Ever since AU, shared calendar is not updating

    My wife's laptop has been updated to the AU. I share my calendar with her so we keep in sync. But, now, when she enters an event in my calendar, it doesn't show up at my end. I have a Surface running 8.1 RT, a laptop on RS2 and a 650 running the AU. None shows the events. This has always...

    Microsoft Health Seems to be Gobbling Battery, Again

    Just over the past few days, the battery, on my 650, has been running down quickly. I noticed that Health used up, almost, 40 percent. This was an issue, before, and I am wondering if the last update has brought it back. I've turned off background use for Health to see if the problem improves.

    Alarm Synch

    Something that I did not know. I had set an alarm, on my phone, for this morning. When it went off, I was in a different room and did not hear it, but my band brought up a notification. Cool!

    Mail, Calendar and People apps have disappeared!

    Mail, Calendar and People apps have disappeared from my Surface 2 (my only device not on W10). I went to the store and tried to reinstall. It flashes up "installing" but then nothing. Rebooted and retried with the same result. Anyone else seeing this?

    Bike Notifications

    While I am riding, I get, occasional, notifications on the band. Now, while this seems like a cool idea, on paper, in reality it is kind of useless as I (and I am guessing, most) cannot read them because of the sunlight and my sunglasses. Maybe, I should ride at night :wink:

    Accent Colour

    A small, slightly annoying "feature". No matter which colour I select as my screen accent colour, it will, eventually, revert back to the default dark blue. I find that colour to be very difficult to read on the dark background. Using 10....218. Anyone else seeing this?

    SIM 2 icon

    It seems pretty silly to have the SIM 2 icon showing if there is none installed. Has anyone figured out a way to get rid of it?

    Reply All Sends Copy to Me As Well

    In the past few days (since the last update?) Outlook sends me a copy of an email if I do a Reply All. It never did this before and it makes no sense as I have a copy in the Sent folder. This only seems to be happening in the mobile version (17.6769.40792.0). Anyone else seeing this?

    Cannot Close Edge

    My wife upgraded to 10, this week (actually, her laptop decided to upgrade itself, but that's another story). She has an issue where she cannot close Edge and has to go to Task Manager to kill it. She did reboots and checked for updates but no joy. She has gone back to IE. Anyone else...

    My wife's laptop decided to upgrade itself last night

    My wife had not been using her laptop for some time, last night. When she passed by, she saw it was upgrading! She's not too thrilled, to say the least.

    Finally did a hard reset

    Well, in the past I have stated, several times, that I believe that hard resets are, in most cases, both unnecessary and, at times, unwise. But, as I came from 8.1, on ,my 920, and have been on 10 for a while, now (I'm on .122), and everyone keeps extolling the virtues of a HR, curing all...

    Groove cannot see new album but Perfect Misic can

    Copied a new album to my phone and Groove cannot see it but Perfect Music can! The songs are FLAC format, from my PC. I can see the files, using File Explorer, and, for some reason, the phone shows them as VLC files. Perfect music has no issues, other than it cannot find album art. Which...

    Some Progress with Heart Rate?

    I have not been on a stationary bike for a while. Today, I jumped on, set the band to bike and OMG no HR spikes, none, nada, for the whole 30 minutes! Then I decided to go for a stroll, on the treadmill. Set the watch to exercise/treadmill and boom HR went through the roof. So, from this...

    Band update, today?

    I did not get an update to the Health app, but when I opened the app, it downloaded an update to the band.

    I haven't seen anything about a new configuration update, but I got one today on my 920 running .107

    Auto Brightness

    My band has never worked, properly, when I set the brightness to auto. It just stays on low no matter what. Anyone else?
