    How can i turn off touch screen on Windows 10 V 1607 for Surface Pro 3

    You'd have to navigate with the keyboard, if possible. You have to disable the touchscreen drivers on Device Manager (there are several drivers, but I don't own a SP3 so I don't know how many/which entries are there). Win+X menu -> Device Manager, the shortest way to get there. You might need to...

    WC UWA Limitations

    The second one is a bug introduced by the latest update (that removed the beta tag). For the first one, I haven't experienced it, but I don't browse the forums that much, anyway.

    Redstone Branch preview on non-supported devices

    I'm pretty sure that the only reason for the delay is that older phones need recovery ROMs of the Current Branch (rs2). Anyway, the OS is the same on all phones. This was an OS update without firmware, so no risks there.

    Redstone Branch preview on non-supported devices

    I did this as soon as the build came out (having done it before) on my old Lumia 920. (Un)surprisingly, no glitches so far. Just as stable as 10586.107. Task switcher app limit on 1 GB devices is still 7 + Start Screen. Funnily, the Windows Camera app loses the Flash control... :amaze: This...

    Most posts about lumia 950/950xl and not 550. Why is that?

    I think it's happening for two reasons: There has never been a shortage of low-end devices in the market, while the last flagship came last summer. Flagships also have more features, therefore increasing public interest even more. The other reason, I think, is that Lumia 550 will be made...

    Does the 1520 have a compass?

    It does have a compass. Download a compass app or one of those diagnostic-info apps (e.g. Insider by DAONE), and check if the compass is working there.

    Lumia 920 RM-820 vs RM-821

    Correct on both counts. Though Rogers Wireless in Canada also offered the RM-820.

    Cortana missing from Lumia 535 after Windows 10 update even with correct language, has anyone had this problem?

    Then only a hard reset can fix it. Or you can wait until the next build and see if it solves the problem. 10586 is supposed to hit both fast and slow ring I think.

    Why's my screen not working?

    Is it the case that you tap somewhere and then the tap is not registered until you touch the screen again, same with short swipes, and delayed effects of long swipes? Sometimes my DV8P has these symptoms and they happen quite randomly, mostly while browsing in Edge. I haven't found any fix for...
