    Win11 does not always recognize insertion or removal of external SATA drive

    I wanted to use the feedback hub but when I open the hub app it wants me to use Windows Hello. I don't want to use Windows Hello because it disables setting up auto login through netplwiz. So..... Paul

    Win11 does not always recognize insertion or removal of external SATA drive

    Asus B660M-plus wifi d4 Intel i7-12700K Windows 11 Pro 4x removable sata bays All four sata ports are set as "hot plug enabled" in BIOS. However, Windows does not always recognize that a drive has been inserted -OR- when a "safely ejected" drive has been removed. If you monitor "Disk...

    Windows 10 Mobile build 15254.1 Discussion (Fast Ring)

    Available to fast ring only? Every time I set my L950 to the fast ring, it reboots, then says it needs to reboot to stop insider builds. Upon that reboot, it is not in the insider program. Did I miss something? Paul

    Windows 10 Mobile build 15254.1 Discussion (Fast Ring)

    This build on first examination seems to have (finally) resolved the BT disconnect issue I have had where BT disconnects after the phone goes to sleep and then gets stuck in a partially disconnected state with no connection but audio still routed to (disconnected) BT. Too little, too late for...

    Windows 10 Mobile build 15254.1 Discussion (Fast Ring)

    Since Windows Mobile is officially dead, I am trying to get used to W10 the way it is. I find it is OK these days with one glaring exception.... has anyone else had bluetooth disconnect some minutes after the phone screen turns off? Trouble is that when it disconnects (my earpiece says "phone...

    I wonder how those figures are determined. That amount of degradation seems to be VERY low considering the age of those batteries. Paul

    You aren't the only one ;) My L950 ticks all my important boxes... replaceable battery, SD card, OLED screen, great camera, wireless charging. There isn't a comparable current Android phone out there currently. And it doesn't hurt that I got it for $100 on Ebay ;) Paul

    should I jump on a 950 before they go away?

    Certainly if you want a replaceable battery, the 950 looks like the sweet spot. Of course these days on W10M an embedded battery will outlast the supported life of the OS, so...... Paul

    How are you determining "battery wear"? Having zero capacity degradation after two yours would be highly unusual, especially in service in a device that was being constantly either discharged or re-charged. Lithiums aren't likely to go two years without degradation.... EVERYTHING degrades...

    Too bad they haven't bothered to fix the BT disconnect issue. It is the only serious issue, but its a biggie when your phone doesn't ring. I also find it telling that they haven't even bothered to announce this build in their blog. There are probably so few of us left that we don't matter...

    Not fixed in 15254.1. Exact same issue. Since I now think I understand what triggers this I might be able to live with it in a pinch. But if I don't notice that the BT icon is present when it should not be, I also don't realize I have no ringtones or notification sounds. Paul

    I guess I can accept that IF (and only if) they actually FIX the several show stopper bugs that have plagued W10 for a long time. I'm not holding my breath. I feel betrayed.... again. A while back I bought a Moto X first generation only to have Google / Motorola / Lenovo abandon it...

    Windows 10 Mobile build 15252 Discussion (Fast Ring)

    Since nothing else fixed the issue I finally did a FDR. My intent was to restore from a recent backup to speed the process but the restore failed to initiate.... several times..... so I finally skipped the restore and set it up from scratch. So far so good.... data seems to be stable and...

    L950, ATT Good grief, will it EVER end????? For the umpteenth time I went back to my L950 from my Nexus 5X. What can I say..... there are some things I like about Windows and I like the L950..... And discovered after a couple days that I have no cell data. I didn't notice because most of...

    Windows 10 Mobile build 15252 Discussion (Fast Ring)

    L950, ATT This build has the same BT issue of showing CONNECTED when the BT device is off. In that state, audio is routed to the non-existent BT device and as a result the phone does not ring or notify. I believe what is happening is that if the phone goes to sleep in the connected state...
