    Can you link an Android phone without installing the Microsoft Launcher?

    Is there anyway to link Android with Windows 10 (specifically I'm using the current Fast Ring Insider build) without installing the Microsoft Launcher? I'm not saying I won't end up using it, but currently I just wanted to try out some of that functionality but I don't know if I want it changing...

    Did MS Ruin Skype?

    I wouldn't say Skype is dead. However, it is in a precarious position. Personally, I find Skype is still fairly popular for 'professional' usage (business meetings, interviews, etc.). However, its declined greatly with just everyday social interaction. Part of it is that it was geared towards...

    Figuring out what's getting plugged/unplugged

    It's a laptop. I have a Dell USB-C Hub plugged into it as the only peripheral into the laptop. It can't be the hub that's getting plugged/unplugged because the mouse/keyboard etc all appear to work while whatever device is in the unplugged state. It's the latest version of Windows 10 as of today...

    Figuring out what's getting plugged/unplugged

    Sometimes when I'm away from my computer, i'll here the little chimes indicating a device has been unplugged and plugged back in. I can't seem to find anything in the event log indicating this occurring. My main reason is I'm trying to figure out which device it is so I can determine if it's...

    Cortana App vs MS Launcher Cortana on Android

    Who should be the default assistant? Offhand, I know Launcher-Cortana can't do navigation, but app-Cortana can. Are there any other differences that give one an advantage over the other as being more suitable as the default assistant on Android? PS: sorry for posting an Android question here as...

    Why I think MS needs to get back into Mobile and fast

    I was on W10M until I was forced to switch to Verizon. I had the Elite x3 and nothing was available (at the time) on Verizon. So I got the Pixel XL. I went all in with MS on everything but little things keep nagging me with individual services here and there that are easily fixed by switching to...

    Cortana, Invoke, and Google

    Is there a way to add my Google Calendar to Cortana? Right now I use my Google Calendar mainly (works best with my phone) but Cortana seems to only interact with my Outlook calendar. Is there a way to either push Outlook.com calendars to Google or vice versa automatically instead of forcibly...

    Microsoft To-Do is fantastic

    Its the same team that made Wunderlist. Plus, as I stated, if you join the Google+ page, they may not make it 100% clear what it is, but its clear they have objectives and roadmaps, as when people ask for certain features, they're told where it is on their list, either something they hadn't...

    Microsoft To-Do is fantastic

    Has anyone messed with sharing their task list through Outlook with other people and seeing if they can use that as a workaround to not having sharing yet? I understand why they're moving away from Wunderlist (i believe ToDo has the same development team, so its not that they're dropping...

    How to get Microsoft contacts on Android?

    I'm trying to get my Microsoft contacts on my new Pixel (i fully intend to switch back to Windows once they figure out what they're doing). However, I can't seem to figure it out. Anyone have any instructions? Everything I've found online so far seems to be for older versions of Android.

    Share your Best Surface Pro 4 Accessories!

    Does anyone think the Surface Pro Dock will ever come down in price a bit? I feel like its been at the $199 mark for awhile now.

    Share your Best Surface Pro 4 Accessories!

    Arc Touch Mouse is amazing for travel. Takes up a small amount of space but 'feels' more like a full sized mouse. I'd like to get the second version, but i'd rather save up for the dock first. Also, I'm assuming we're simply not counting the keyboards/pens... otherwise i feel that would top...

    Microsoft support for Windows Mobile

    HP does seem to have much better support than MS. Unfortunately, sometimes its out of HP's hands (such as this case). Similar issue with me (and plenty of other Elite X3 users) in that HP was super helpful, but the problem lies with MS. A whole lot of X3s randomly decide to "eject" the SD card...
