Is there any way to purchase a higher OneDrive storage tier without having Office 365 forced down my throat as well? My wife is currently on the 50GB $2/month plan and very happy with it, but she will require more storage space very soon (around 200-300GB should do for a looooong time). It has...

I have a barely used fully working Nokia Lumia 830 smartphone. Unlocked, European model (RM-984). Works great in the US with AT&T, T-Mobile, and all of their respective resellers and MVNOs. Don't know about Canada as I'm not familiar with Canada's MNO/MVNO landscape, sorry. It's running the...

I was soooo looking forward to Windows 10 1703 because Microsoft claimed to have finally addressed the font scaling issues they've been having with HiDPI displays. And address it they did. Only that it has gotten much worse than before. I have an external 4k display attached to my Thinkpad...

I've installed the Word Mobile app from the Windows Store...

For some reason my Windows 10 Home (x86) fails to install the latest cumulative update KB3194798 that was released a few days ago. It fails every time with error 0x8e5e03fa. Manually downloading and installing it doesn't work either, that in turn fails without an error message at all (The...

Immediately after installing 10586.29 on my Lumia 830 I have disenrolled from the Insider program exactly as described here: How to stop getting Insider builds of Windows 10 Mobile | Windows Central Yet today my phone started downloading Windows 10 Technical Preview for phones (10.0.10586.36)...

I took out my Lumia 830 running Windows Phone 8.1 Update 1 after it was safely stored away for about eight months. I hadn't used it at all during this time (and I can definitely rule out any possibility of anyone else doing so), and took out the battery before I put it away. Today, after putting...

So I finally figured out how I might be able to use OneDrive on my laptop at home. However, after toying around with it for a bit it went full retard on me... here's what happened. I have an ASUS TransformerBook T200TA convertible with detacheable display at home which I use as both laptop and...

I wanted to try the "stream Music from OneDrive" feature but am failing at the very very beginning. I've uploaded two songs into my Music folder on OneDrive, MP3 files. However, neither Groove on Windows 10 nor the iPhone app are able to recognize anything from OneDrive. They're both empty only...

I've been having trouble with Windows Update recently: * Three updates were stuck on downloading at 0% * Rebooting the laptop resulted in it getting stuck at the "Getting things ready..." screen The fix was actually pretty simple: 1. Reboot your computer 2. Open Explorer and navigate to...

Windows 10 has left me a bit flabbergasted after I first tried to go online via my laptop's builtin UMTS modem. In Windows 8.1 it was quite simple and straightforward: 1. Click the network icon in the taskbar 2. Click mobile broadband 3. Click "Unlock" 4. Enter SIM-PIN and hit Enter Whereas...

I've updated from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10 and to my surprise it came with a bunch of what I would consider bloatware, such as Candy Crush Saga (really, Microsoft???). Some I was able to uninstall (such as aforementioned Candy Crush Saga or Solitaire), however there are a few apps left that I...

I don't get it.... if Cortana wanted me to sign in with my Microsoft account credentials that's understandable and totally fine. However, as soon as I want to enable Cortana Windows 10 forces me to switch to a Microsoft account instead of my local user account. Here's the thing: I don't want to...

I've been using my Lumia 635 as daily driver for a couple of days now. Left my iPhone at home while trying not to break too many bones (and phones) at Enduromania, and decided to give Windows 10 Mobile 10166 a go. Short answer: don't do it, at least not on the 635. It's dead slow (the phone...

I have just updated my Lumia 635 from 10149 to 10166 and am now stuck without background or lock screen images. All I can select are my photos from OneDrive and even if I disabled OneDrive integration in Photos there are no pictures for me to select as background or lock screen image. Anyone...

The ASUS TransformerBook T200TA that I have recently purchased included a one year subscription to Office 365 Personal. However, since I already have an Office 2007 Ultimate license and don't really see the point of paying a monthly/yearly fee for the priviledge of using a more recent version of...

Why is hard resetting a Windows phone through settings so extremely slow? I'm seeing the cogs and a slowly moving progress bar - what's taking so long? I know that iOS for example only throws away its encryption key, therefore making all user-saved data unaccessible. The phone restarts thinking...

Can device encryption (the new Windows 8.1 feature that comes enabled by default) also be enabled for the drive in the dock of the TransformerBook T200TA? Enabling it for my C: drive would be completely pointless since I have nothing saved on there, all my documents and sensitive data is saved...

Without my knowledge or specific action of any sort the "sync my settings" feature was activated for my user account. This must have happened either when I switched from a local account to a Microsoft account or when I updated from 10074 to 10130. Either way, it was automatically activated. This...

I'm running build 10074 and was forced to switch my local user account to a Microsoft account in order to give Cortana a try (there is no way to sign in seperately for Cortana, it's either all (aka use a Microsoft account to login) or nothing). This, in return, has led to both OneDrive (which I...
