    Cortana App vs MS Launcher Cortana on Android

    There are many apps doing just that, like ReadItToMe which auto runs as soon as the phone connects to BT in the car, works very similar to Cortana does on Windows Mobile, "text from ... would you like read it"? reads then asks "would you like to reply" etc. The only thing you cannot do is start...

    Why I wont leave Windows Mobile for the S8

    Tried that, I have even let them sit overnight and would not continue. Trust me, I would wait a week if I knew it would work in order to avoid a Hard Reset. Having to change settings, redo 2-step, etc. not fun... :)

    Glance Crashing

    Tried on/off, soft reset. Nothing. Then tried removing and replacing the battery and that worked! Glance works again and if I open the settings it does not crash.

    US Banks with a Windows 10 mobile app?

    That is not true. Any one can open an account with USAA. I'm not a veteran. I have Accounts with USAA. Checking, savings, investments. Excellent bank. Awesome app.

    Why won't the App Store open in Windows 10?

    After trying many solutions and nothing working, I created a MS user, removed the local user, login as the MS user and created a new local user. Only way to get the Store back. This is terrible Microsoft. There are many users with the same issue...
