I figured out that I can access these with private browsing, but I still can't figure out why.*I have uninstalled my lone extension (adblock plus) but still isn't working...

I am currently*not able to access any Google domains from either my surface 3 or my Lumia 950 om edge. I am on 14986 on desktop and 14977 on mobile Over the last couple of days I have had degradations in my ability to access Google or any related*domains like YouTube or Gmail. Just going to...

I've seen it suggested on some other threads that changing how often the phone sends feedback on redstone builds can save battery life. However, when I attempt to change the setting, the dropdown is grayed out and it says in yellow text above that "Windows Insider Program manages this option."...

Hi all, I can't seem to change my settings for feedback. it's grayed out and says that Windows Insider manages that setting. When I go to Windows Insider I only see the option to change the ring I am on, and not how often I give feedback... Anyone know how to restore my choice for that?

Yeah overall this feels like an incremental update that was hyped as the next big thing. I think most folks, me included, would have been ok with it if the 950 and XL were the lumias of the year with a few new features, but I'm struggling to think of how my 950 is all that better than my 1520...

In the grand scheme of things, I really don't care all that much about this issue. I want the phone, but my current 1520 works fine. I might even end up holding off until mid to late January when I will visit family in a place that does not have sales tax. The larger point that I'm making is...

My issue is that they simply don't seem to have their ducks in a row here. Especially when it comes to the USA, why is it so hard to just announce widely that the phone will be available on X date in stores? We shouldn't have to play detective to figure this stuff out, they should be bombarding...

I think it would be helpful for folks who get preorder notices to let us know the terms (e.g. - will they hold it for 24 hours? 48?) so those of us without pre-orders (my last visit to an MS store was while they weren't taking preorders, so I'm out in the wild here hahah) can know when they will...

I don't disagree, but the vagaries and mysteries only serve to irritate the biggest fans. Why is a company with a 1.7% marketshare being so hot and cold with the people who love its products the most? I never got that. If you're an Apple ******, you know the exact time and day that you can line...

I'm wondering if this won't be Band 1 all over again, regarding mysteries about #s available, and vagaries about when they'll be available in stores...

The more solutions the merrier! I was about to pull out what little hair I had left over this dumb issue, and no threads addressed it on mobile.

Excellent! Uninstall was usually grayed-out for me before I discovered my solution, although I guess I had not tried it after canceling an update

Hi all, I think I have found a fix for the 0X80073CF9 error in the mobile store which has been bedeviling some of my apps in the newest Insider Preview, and will probably be an ongoing issue in the future. I managed to use this method successfully twice, although YMMV. 1. Try updating the app...

This is my theory on it too. My hope is that MS is able to leverage the huge marketshare they have with PCs to get better apps to the phones and boost them that way.

FOUND A FIX FOR THIS: So when I tried to make a folder on the home screen, some icons for the apps I was missing just popped up inside the "new" folders. It seemed somewhat random, but I think you have to try to make the folder where other folders might have been before.
