    windows not recovering from sleep.

    It's a shame no one knows what's going on. I'm having the same issue. Brand new laptop. Got all the updates, and it when I open the cover after sleep, it just has a black screen. The keyboard backlight is on, telling me the PC is on, and the cooling fan revs up, and it gets hot. I have to shut...

    Do file explorer needs a design overhaul?

    There is an article on Windows Central about how to enable the UWP version of File Explorer. It is touch friendly and what I use on my tablet. It's pretty much the file Explorer you find on Windows 10 Mobile.

    Is Fall Creators Update easier on RAM?

    I've got the same specs on my 8" tablet and have noticed the improvement is big enough that I am no longer considering abandoning the tablet. Before it was so sluggish it was too frustrating to use. Now I like using it. I had read somewhere that Microsoft was working on making the code more...

    Sorry EDGE, but... Firefox Quantum.

    Just tried this Firefox beta on my tablet. Wow! Fast! Loving it. Since I'm using Firefox on my Android phone, this just made my life a lot easier on my tablet with syncing. I refuse to use Edge on Android because it will never support extensions, so no ad blocking there for me and no Enpass...

    Microsoft Edge On Android - Was Chromium The Right Engine/Platform?

    Glad I found this thread. I was trying to find out if Edge would support the extensions eventually for the Android version, and just discovered the answer is no, according to the OP. Thanks for saving me the headache. I suppose I'll be sticking to Firefox for my Windows Tablet and for my...

    Windows 10 Creators Update Common Problems and Fixes

    On my wife's laptop, it wants to restart to finish installing the update. When I click the "Restart Now", it restarts, but normally without even attempting to upgrade. The upgrade is still sitting there when I return to the Windows Update screen, asking to restart. ?!? Tried restarting several...

    It would be great to have Android ROMs for our Lumias these days...

    I have to agree with the OP on this one. While I would not want to see Android on a model with less than 2GB, those Lumia models that have at least 2GB or more would be a good candidate for Android and would be quite capable. Why should a person have to shell out $800+ yet again when you already...

    Windows 10 launcher on Google pixel is very convincing

    Turns out it was just the EMUI from Huawei that was causing all my headaches. Ever since I installed a custom ROM, I'm able to run Launcher 10 with no issues whatsoever. I've even been able to customize my navbar icons the way I wanted to. I have made them like the full Windows 10 tablet mode...

    Windows 10 mobile Chrome Browser

    Not possible. It works on your tablet because you have full Windows 10 on the tablet, and Chrome is a Desktop app only. There is no UWP version of Chrome, or any Google product at all. The reason is because Google refuses to allow their apps onto Windows Mobile ecosystem. If you want to run...

    Is there a way to change my contacts into google contacts?

    If you log into contacts.google.com, you can go to "More>" (on the left) then "Import." From there, you can import your Outlook contacts to Google and easily get them onto a Google based device. This is the easiest way I have found to transfer contacts from Windows Mobile to Android.

    1x Lumia 640, 2x Lumia 635, + other accessories

    For what it is used for, the 925 would be a side-grade and even downgrade from the way the 640 has been used. The 640 battery doesn't last long enough for my wife now, so replacing it with a phone that has even poorer battery life is not an option. Thanks for the offer, but not interested in a...

    1x Lumia 640, 2x Lumia 635, + other accessories

    Price drop to $40 for the entire package. Price includes shipping within the US, which is costing me $13.90. If there are no responses by the 20th, then I'll donate them to a local charity. The world is supposed to end on the 21st anyway, so why not. (Hey, not according to me, but I've seen a...
