    Release preview update error.

    I'm having this EXACT same error on my gen 1 Surface Book for both the Release Preview update through Windows Update and through the ISO on their website.

    Windows Central: you've changed!

    I am also in the same boat. The app is essentially useless. There are sections for All, Editorials, Reviews, etc. You guys should set default to what you tend to curate on the website while giving us a "Deals" and "All" section to go to if we want those types of articles.

    Dear Microsoft, please fix our Windows 10 pet peeves

    I have this same setting and I've never had an issue with file explorer losing my place when the color changes.

    Dear Microsoft, please fix our Windows 10 pet peeves

    That's why my PC has been on quiet hours for the past year. I can't stand opening my laptop and getting bombarded with notifications. If I see that I get one, the action center icon fills white and I click on it. Makes things much easier.

    Dear Microsoft, please fix our Windows 10 pet peeves

    Edge was fully functional and worked really well in the Creator's Update. Something they did to it in the Fall Creator's update has made it extremely inferior to Chrome. It stays on top of other windows wherever it is, unless I minimize it, it can't handle most video streaming formats anymore...

    Share your Windows Phone History!

    Lumia 1520 > Lumia 640 > Lumia 950 > Lumia 640 > Lumia 950 > OnePlus 3T I went from various "world phones" to finally a few iPhones, then hopped on ship with a 1520. Loved the size and the camera. Then I started getting phantom touches and eventually the screen shattered so I got a 640 to...

    Wallet App No Longer Lets Me Add Credit Cards L950

    EDIT: Updating to .5 fixed the problem. If you're having issues with your mobile wallet, update to cumulative update .5 or higher. My wallet app was updated to version 2 after updating to the fast ring and waiting a few days. I set up my bank card (had to call the bank and everything). Then I...

    W10M Insider Preview 14356 Issues (Redstone Branch, Inactive)

    I had this happen to my surface too. I downloaded the 14342 ISO and reinstalled everything and it fixed the issue. I had tried to call Microsoft and their tech support couldn't help me even through remote desktop.

    14356.1000

    How is the build? I've tried two fast ring builds so far and they both screwed my 640. First was too slow and glitchy and the 2nd wouldn't let me at all. Posted via my $30 Lumia 640

    W10M Insider Preview 14342 Discussion (Redstone Branch, Inactive)

    Re: W10M Insider Preview 14342 Issues (Redstone branch) I had to use the software recovery tool to reset my 640 because it stopped sending messages! It wouldn't let me send or receive anything after going into a cellular dead zone. All of the sudden I received a bunch of messages at once, then...

    Is Windows 10 Mobile developer preview stable enough to install on my one and only phone?

    Scratch that, it bricked my messaging. I could hardly send or receive any messages whatsoever. Had to hard reset within hours.

    New Insider build 14342

    Messaging Everywhere BETA is extremely buggy and crashes so much. It's unusable.

    Is Windows 10 Mobile developer preview stable enough to install on my one and only phone?

    This preview build is more stable than the most recent release preview build on my lumia 640 and I'm not entirely sure why.....

    Where is the new 950 firmware for USA ATT 950's?

    Funny how dumb this comment from 1/06/16 looks on now 2/18/16 after a second firmware update was already released for the Unlocked 950/XLs

    Win a Lumia 950 or Lumia 950 XL in the Windows Central Fa-la-la-liday Contest!

    I would like a lumia 950 because I had a lumia 1520 that stopped accepting my SIM card, so I picked up a 640 for $60. I realized I liked the flagship power of the 1520 but I like the size and feel of the 640 so I've decided on the 950 to get the best of both worlds. Also my 640 is slower than...
