I think problem is that the average console gamer primarily uses their pc to update a resume, browse the internet (porn) and little else. Most people who are pc gamers aren't interested in games from the store because of the lack of customization. I'm not sure if they have made any progress in...

I have no problems with Microsoft and I still support their endeavors and wish them success. I just won't personally invest in their ecosystem any more than I have to. Because like you said, it's just business.

I think they are doing the consumer a solid for once by not releasing it. It could be a really cool product, but we know it would be expensive and will be a dusty novelty for most in a year or two when Microsoft abandons the device and ceases updates and patches.

The junk does not bother me near as much as the searching and how apps are indexed. Sometime a verbatim search still won't return what it should. Also reviews/ratings listed on the thumbnail does not match the app itself when selected. The saddest part is these issues have existed since win8...

You can go into the settings app and inside of the battery setting change the maps app to always work in the background and not let Windows manage it. Unfortunately, that method still doesn't work all the time.

I'm glad it helped. Funny enough, I got the answer when I was reporting the issue on the feed back hub from an official MS response to the issue. Unfortunately, they don't do a good job of putting the answer out there. One thing I have noticed, then fix needed to be re-implemented when the pc...

There is a bug where the action center can be unresponsive on this build. This is a scaling issue. To fix it, change the app & text scaling in setting to a workable setting (100% on my sp3), after a few minutes, change it back to your preferred setting and it should be fixed.

When I am using the navigation in maps and go to home screen or launch another app, i usually get a prompt asking me if I want to resume navigation (meaning it can't run in the background). This isn't always the case though, sometimes it will run in the background. Is there anything I can do to...

This happened after i received a replacement Alactel Idol 4s and did a restore from backup. The app is stuck in error on the downloads and updates screen. I can cancel the install and try again but the same things error appears. In the app list, it is listed as pending. Its all greyed out and...

Cortana's voice dictation works really good when she actually responds to hey Cortana. Why is the voice dictation on the keyboard such an unreliable mess compared to Cortana. Are they using two different engines. Even when I speak very slowly, what comes out is butchered unless it's a five word...

Is there any way for the keyboard to use personalized predictive typing. When I was on Android I would use the swift keyboard, and when ever I was prompted to enter my email address on a form or to login, it would give me choices like my email address or phone number/name etc in the predictive...

Lucky you. Save yourself the nausea or spin around in circles real fast as an alternative.

I tried it once for about 10 minutes and felt nauseous for a while after (at least an hour). I pulled it out again about a week ago and after about 30 seconds felt dizzy. I'm done. I hope high end 90fps wont make me feel that way. I would eventually like a rift or vive.

I'm having some pretty big problems with maps and navigation on this build (idol 4s). Voice prompts still appear to be accurate, but the location on the map is always jumping around. It seems to take a minute If you're traveling on the same road for the app to get readjusted, but as soon as you...

The completely transparent outline is still there. This has been happening for the last three fast builds on my sp3 including 15031. Is there any fix for this?
