    New Band User. A Couple Of Questions For Existing Users.

    Assuming it's the same on iOS, click the hamburger, in the health app, one of the menu options is Activity History, this will display a list in date & time order, click any of them in the list to see that particular activity / event in full detail. Don't think your first question is possible...

    So, observing quite a few issues with 10041

    Already provided feedback and will continue to do so, I really like a lot of W10, its just the bloody Start Screen is a joke compared to the beauty and elegance of 8.1

    So, observing quite a few issues with 10041

    Agree completely, for desktop it's great but on an SP3 the Start Screen is terrible, I know its a preview but the direction of travel is wrong in tablets. The taskbar should not be present on the Start Screen, way to look stupid and clumsy! But my biggest gripe is the jump list on the left...

    UK release April 15th

    Quoting from the verge below. But gist is, much wider US stores availability and wide UK release on April 15th at ?169.99. Microsoft is now expanding on its availability both in the US and overseas. In the coming weeks, Microsoft is planning to "ramp up" the inventory of the Microsoft Band in...

    Start menu not opening, and neither is settings

    After installing the build there are additional updates you need to install, if you haven't already, install these via Windows Update, re-start and see if that helps

    What is your opinion of the new Start Menu in Windows 10?

    I think there needs to be an option as to whether the sidebar on the left is displayed or not, personally I'm not at all keen on it being there but others may like it. Good idea re folders, the way it's implemented on Windows Phone would be a really neat way of doing any folder options......time...

    Re: Windows 10 with Microsoft band And if helps the original poster the existing desktop Band sync app on Windows 8, works flawlessly on Windows 10.

    What is your opinion of the new Start Menu in Windows 10?

    Agreed, my point really is that there are elements I'm not keen on like the original poster but that that's the whole point of this process, to test and to provide feedback and help where possible in refining things. The key is not to just moan, not that I'm saying anyone here specifically is...

    What is your opinion of the new Start Menu in Windows 10?

    The left side bar looks amateur and is out of place on the Start screen, either remove it so there's more tile space or better yet provide options so if anyone does like it then it can stay there. Vertical scrolling is weird and nit really how tablets 'should' work but getting used to it. Not...

    Surface Pro 3 vs. Windows 10 Preview

    Runs a lot hotter, fan kicks in particularly in the photos hub. Video playback breaks up a lot and video on the web crashes IE. But generally it all seems very stable. If you're in love with the 8.1 Start screen then be aware this build is still very desktop orientated and not start screen or...
