There is no workaround that I know of currently. One person on reddit claimed to have downloaded a 2009 driver for the wireless xbox 360 controller, since you can see the device's wireless dongle before actually syncing up the controller itself. Since build 14291 wiggs out upon connecting the...

Photos and videos. Able to leave my other cameras home. Would like something a step up from my 640. Good luck all.

I did remove and reinstall the email account, but what is the advanced method? Thanks

When creating a new email, I'd start typing "AC.." then it would suggest the rest of the email I wanted to send to, which is how it should work. Now both email address suggestions in Mail and searching in the People app won't work. I should clarify however. Some emails would show up, but not...

The XL since it has better specs and I have pockets big enough to hold it.

Well crap, this behavior did not change with build 10240, RTM. Guessing some setting or registry entry is munged. No one has ideas? I'll keep searching.

A few days ago my Quick Access feature of Windows 10 (10166) went belly up. There are no entries in the File Explorer view (upper left) and nothing from the jump lists beside "File Explorer", "Unpin this program from taskbar", and "Close All Windows." Recent folders don't populate Quick Access...

re: Installing W8.1 with Bing on 7" tablet? At the moment installing an unactivated Win10 Home I get a critical error with the Start Menu and Cortana. Seems I have a brick on my hands.

re: Installing W8.1 with Bing on 7" tablet? I tried the Win7 key that was on my laptop a while back, but it did not like it. This was before it could check with the servers. I figure I have either three or four Win10 keys when this is all over. Either 3 Win7 Home + the Win 8.1, or just three...

re: Installing W8.1 with Bing on 7" tablet? I hope so. Have not tried either of them but my gut tells me Microsoft will be more help. Thanks.

I have a MicroCenter TW700 (Bay Trail 7" tablet) with Windows 8.1 w/ Bing on it, or at least I had. When I heard people having more success with it I tried updating to 10162, but the install failed. It would boot up with the WinBook logo, then the spinning balls underneath, then a windows at the...

My 920 is working really well. No problems thus far. I now need to consider a case for it to tighten that slick plastic grip. I'd rather leave the screen exposed as well as the photo shutter button. Ideas?

I just got mine as well and it does not appear used either. I think the battery accounts for the weight. Need a case surely for grip alone. Updating to 8.1 preview now. Even in 8.0 all actions seemed noticeably faster than my 520.

I did do it just before they ran out. Should be here tomorrow. No case, but I'll get it along with capacitors to fix a LCD monitor. Need to be able to get thm switched though.

Good to hear. I like the WP 8.1 UI and all, just wish the app store situation was better. Discerning quality when you search for something is difficult.
