Mine just updated last night. I had the same issue in the past. Completely unacceptable to me that MS is willing to take customers down for almost a month without a shared calendar. Wow.

Has anyone tried to install any old games on Windows 10? Specifically, I just love playing the old Command&Conquer Generals games. Still have all of the discs, and installed them on a clean version of Win10. Downloaded latest updates from C&C. It ran just fine on Win8 using the compatibility...

For me the solution in the thread you annotated solved my issue on the Icon. I think it was the GroupMessaging for me.

Having the same problem. No way to turn off the alerts! Settings ... Notifications+Actions does not contain this app There is no setting in the app itself to disable notifications I try to download (often pay apps) from developers just so that they know there's an interest in them, but I...

I have the Icon, Win8.1 and I love it. I have no complaints at all (other than what I would have on any Windows Phone - apps, etc). Your mileage may vary. You might feel more at ease having a brand new phone and not refurbished also. Tough call!

I just use the built-in "Podcasts" every day for listening at work. I've never had a problem with it. Not sure what the features are from the other apps, but this one downloads podcasts and plays them reliably. Am I missing some amazing features?

I have several calendars. On just ONE of those calendars, no changes were send down from outlook.com to devices, but it would go the other way from a device to outlook.com website calendar. All of the other calendars worked fine. After trying all of the "solutions", I just exported event from...

Having the same issue here. I entered calendar entries in the calendar.live.com and they show up there. They do not show up on my phone. When I go to: Settings... Email+Accounts... long press Microsoft Account and hit "sync", I get: "Outlook Error. Last updated 3 seconds ago. We're having a...

I've been using gmail since September of 2004. Was heavy into all things Google... Wave, G+, etc What got me started on Microsoft was Zune. I had a couple of them, including the HD. I still think it was better than iAnything. Now I'm completely hooked on Microsoft products. I own a Surface and...

It made me laugh when I saw that... and also joyed that I own a Microsoft phone that I can delete them immediately! =)

I think this was just added in the last week or so... but I can see firsthand that OneDrive is doing OCR to pull out text. I've searched on several things that were written on t-shirts and on papers. Pretty cool.

Navigate to OneDrive ... Photos Click the gear icon in the upper right Choose from the dropdown between - All folders - "Pictures" folder Move your double-secret items outside of the "Pictures" folder hierarchy. I think that should get it for you!

Just a note, you can also resize your #TileArt static images to the small blocks if you want to use this cool feature but don't want to give up as much real estate on your screen.

While I'm not a Patriots fan... *technically* Cortana is correct. The two statements are just not as interrelated as we are inferring them to be. 1) Cortana picks the Patriots to win (in part because?) 2) The New England Patriots hold the NFL record for the longest winning streak at 21 back a...

As xandros9 mentioned, you can use nicknames in the Inner Circle feature of the Cortana settings. I use this for "wife", "daughter", "mom", etc. To get Cortana to send a text to multiple recipients easily, I tricked her a bit by creating a Group in People named, "My wife and kids" and now I can...
