No, what I'm talking about is something similar to Apple Pay. Native support of payments at POS via NFC. I'm a proponent of this b/c once this and ID cards go digital I will not have a need to carry my wallet around anymore. Less things to carry the better. Eventually it would also be nice if...

There had been talk of Windows 10 Mobile including NFC payments. This was mentioned at BUILD as well as seen in Microsoft documents. But it seems like Windows 10 is almost feature locked. I would think by this point we would be seeing the feature included or at least start to see remnants of...

I'm not sure as I'm not a Xbox Music subscriber, but when I installed 10149 on my wife's 1020 it did seem to bring down her music from Xbox Music. Perhaps it was a subset of songs, but there is at least some integration. I'd explore some more, but I had to roll her phone back to 8.1 for other...

Ya, I'm thinking the 1020 has some issues with this build. I installed on my 1520 (daily driver) 4 days ago and have been very happy with it. Fast, Responsive, and good battery life (maybe down slightly but not enough to bother me). It has a couple quirks (apps that refuse to load, flashing...

Re: which one is best antivirus for windows 10 pc,inbulid windows defender or avast? I only use Windows Defender. Never had an issue. I think this a combination of MS getting much better at security, and me not downloading from torrents and what not.

Re: dont install windows 10158 from a microsoft websiter till you read this Ya this is not at all the right way to go about this. This is not an official MS site. If you want to download Insider builds you need to do so through the Insider program. Downloading leaked ISOs like this is a big...

Adding the accounts manually (selecting other when choosing the type of account, then exchange active sync) did the trick for me. Don't know if that's a possibility with mandated encryption.

I haven't been able to get either my work or school accounts to work. Neither require device encryption, so I don't know if it's related to your issue. For what it's worth I go to add an account select exchange, then put my email in and it tells me that work or school account isn't working...

Go to the Xbox Preview Dashboard App and then look in quests for the extend your screen quest. You can get the app through there.

Don't know if you have fixed your problem, but I'd like to try to help. I had a similar issue after installing an older build of Win10 and then wanting to go back to Win 8.1, my surface wouldn't recognize the recovery USB I had created. So I downloaded the Win 8 ISO files (they are available on...

Can someone tell me if connected standby is working in the latest build? How is battery life in general on an SP3 (i5)? I had one of the very early builds on my SP3, but without the connected standby and other battery life problems I had to go back to 8.1.

I noticed this too. I was hoping to be able to send commands from the Band as well. Oh, well. I'm a brand new developer and just learning to write apps for Windows Phone, so at least this will give me time to learn that and then hopefully when an SDK comes out that allows sending commands from...

I had the same issue. I'm not sure why, but when I tried to install on a new project under Visual C#>Store Apps>Windows Phone Apps>Blank App(Windows Phone Silverlight) it didn't work. I created a new project under Visual C#>Store Apps>Windows Phone Apps>Blank App(Windows Phone) it worked. Don't...

Has anyone updated to the build released this morning? I'd like to install but as I'm on a SP3 I'll wait until the driver issue is fixed.
