Everyone always raves about extensions especially for Chrome! But half the extensions on the Chrome are old, out of date or just don't work. Any browser once you get too many extensions will start to slow down. Ms Edge works well for me but I think it's a resource hog and uses up a lot of...

I definitely agree with that. The app is terribly unreactive half the time. Also I barely touch it and it starts to scroll onto other pages. The website better I think for normal pc's whilst the app is more suited to a touchscreen. Although I like the live tile and notifications on the app.

Will Facebook & Messenger get the PWA treatment as the windows store app never gets updated, I wonder? Takes five minutes for it to load up for an app that's two years out of date.

I don't really use it to be honest. So I'll uninstall and I do want to use it, I'll use from MS launcher. Both Cortana and the new MSN news beta, my phone tells me that they are using excessive power in the background. Since the launcher also has a news page, I'll use the native one as well.

I like a minimalist desktop. But like to use start screen.

I used the MS app for the second attempt. Said my pc was fine. And Windows Insider for the first.Thanks anyway I'll give it a try.I'll probably do a new backup, over the weekend. Before having another attempt.

Tried twice yesterday to install the anniversary update. They both start off ok. But I just end with a black screen, with white spinning dots. For more than an hour. Could it be more Antivirus is causing the problem. I use AVG. Do I need to uninstall that, before proceeding with the update.

Recently there has been lots of article, on what?s new for Windows 10 for it?s anniversary update. Is there anything new for the mail, and calendar apps? They could also do with some development. And more bug fixes. I often get fake notifications. Saying there?s an unread email in a folder. Also...

Re: Action centre inline reply Yeah only seen work in Messages and Calender.

Re: inline reply The short answer is yes it is there. Because I kept tapping the hamburger button of the message, and I could reply in line, without even having to enter my phone pin. But it could do with improvement, to make it easier to open. It's easy to miss at the moment. Just do a small...

Action centre inline reply Has Inline reply been added to the text messaging yet on Windows 10 mobile? I see the video's with Joe Belfiore. And I'm sure I had it on a previous build. But no sign of it, on the latest build 10536. I swipe down, and can reply to a text in action centre, but not...

I think they all make excellent products MS WP, Android, and IOS. Just have to try and make up your mind for yourselves, whatever works for you. It's a bit like buying a car. Just because you bought a particular make and model once, you don't have to stick to it. You can try something different...

I've got a Nokia Lumia 635. Couple of weeks old. Just wondering when will I get Cortana, and Live Folders. Been checking phone updates. And always say it's up to date.
