Forced bundling is almost always a very bad idea. I see what you are saying, but it would be a disaster for Xbox for both pricing and messaging reasons. A dedicated Xbox keyboard accessory on the other hand does sound like a good idea, just don't force bundle it.

For me Bing chat and Github Copilot has replaced at least 50% of my web searches, probably way more. I really only do a traditional web search now when I do online shopping. Of course Bing chat and Github copilot searches would not show up in stat counters results.

Could well be an issue, but can it iris scan you while you are looking at the photo without you realising?

Essentially there is a file in windows which is a list of ip addresses/web addresses that windows should ignore completely. On windows 10 it is usually located at C:\Windows\System32\drivers\hosts. The file is usually empty, but you can download ones that block most/all ads and also block...

Just use a hosts file to block all ads system wide. It's way better than any ad blocker extension. It works perfectly, takes no resources to use and blocks ads in every browser, app, everywhere.

Re: Mobile hotspot is not working properly in W10M I use mobile hotspot on a Lumia 930 on windows 10 mobile and it works perfectly, used it heavily on holiday this last weekend with 3 devices using it at one time.

I had this problem with my outlook.com and Hotmail accounts. To fix it I chose fix account and followed the prompts to re-enter the login details. This didn't fix it, to fix it I had to choose fix account a second time, then for some unknown reason it asked for my pin for the phone, after...

Thank you for your replies. I have fixed the issue - I selected fix accounts, and it asked for my login details again. Then I chose fix accounts a second time and it asked for my pin. After this my 3 outlook accounts work perfectly and I haven't had the accounts out of date issue since.

Hi, Since upgrading to Windows 10 mobile I get dozens of warnings a day that my mail accounts are out of date. It is only my outlook based accounts, not my Gmail based one. The accounts work perfectly otherwise but I desperately want to stop the endless warnings. Choosing fix account and...

Lumia 950, perfect size to replace my dying phone :

I'm pretty sure Miracast is ultimately the replacement for DLNA, that is the reason that Windows supports Miracast and not DLNA now. I think what you are looking for is a good Miracast receiver, ultimately that is the Windows version of Airplay (although they are not identical).

As I said I agree with you about Airplay, but there are ways to achieve a lot that Airplay does, but not all. Personally I have setup an old computer with Kodi (it really is incredibly simple - if you can use iTunes you can use Kodi or Plex). It has the massive advantage that you don't have to...

I agree there should be a windows version of Airplay, but what are you trying to achieve? For my TV I use Kodi/XBMC which you can control with windows/windows phone - or you could use Plex. For music I use a Bluetooth speaker. For YouTube you can use Tubecast to send media to Chromecast etc...

I think this only happens when smart capture is on. It is taking two pictures and then merging them, which obviously is a lot more intensive for the phone to do, so if you take lots it a row, quickly, it overwhelms the phone and it needs some time to catch up. Obviously a faster phone with more...

Personally I would like the option of getting rid of the desktop altogether and just having the start menu as the desktop. I put all my files in my documents, not on the desktop so the desktop serves no purpose at all.
