Is your phone on an Insider Build? or are you using the "official release" Operating System? Also, have you tried restarting your phone?

Welcome to Windows Central. Looks like your SD Card has started to fail and, as a security measure, has been automatically write-protected. This allows you to copy your files FROM your SD Card and transfer it somewhere before the card fails completely. You will need to buy a new SD Card and...

I had around 80+, if not 100+ (can't remember anymore) apps installed on my Lumia 1020 - my last Windows Phone - all of which had a particular relevance to me. Here are some apps you may want to look into (I'll try to fetch as much as I can from my organic memory): Photo and Imaging: - ProShot...

Have you actually tried using a different wallpaper just to experiment? How about a photo with a higher resolution?

Yes. However, uninstalling Avast! was more tedious than I'd prefer; back then the user needed to download a special uninstaller from Avast!, restart the PC a few times, and clean the registry before Avast is completely removed. If I recall correctly, Avast! had a huge disadvantage: if the user...

I've used Bitdefender (2009, 2010, 2011, 2012), Kaspersky, McAfee, ESET Nod32, AVG, ThreatFire, Avast, Avira, and Windows Defender (Windows 10). Among these, I have retained Avira. I used to have a paid version of Bitdefender (that's why I've been using it for over three years back then), but...

Thanks for the information.

10 minutes to boot? Try the following: 1. disable unnecessary startup items 2. uninstall unnecessary software 3. free-up your storage space (empty recycle bin, use CCleaner to delete temporary files) 4. defragment your hard drive... overnight. As per the advice earlier, pressing F11 during...

Usually when OS installations start malfunctioning, and chkdsk and other recovery solutions don't work, it may be time to replace your hard drive. If you need additional help or have more questions or details to share, please join the site so you can reply in this thread. See this link for...

I didn't say give up your privacy. The quote says wipe your phone clean, but then there are others who just give their phone without question (which could mean that they don't have any sensitive info in their phone anyway). I didn't use the words "hide" and "crime". But what I should emphasize...
