I'm having the same problem as well....been almost 2 days and no change. I've canceled them, rebooted, soft boot, normal boot, no less than 100 times....nothing works.
Also, trying to UNINSTALL microsoft news, NFL mobile, etc, it doesn't fully uninstall from App list. They are simply greyed out after I uninstall them. Even tried RE-INSTALLING them, and uninstalling from the "storage" option in settings......they are still there greyed out.
Hi,
I had your same issue and i solved in this way:
1. Hard Reset (yes.. once again) the phone.
2. As soon as you finish to set up the OS and you get for the first time to the Start Screen, immediately open the store and set it to NOT install automatically the updates.
3. Don't touch the phone for a few minutes so he finishes to do all its post-setup stuff. Also leave all the options to their default, customize the phone later.
4. Go to the store and manyually search for updates. You will get something like 30 updates
5. Now install the updates manually ONE BY ONE (i know, it is boring and it takes more than one hour... and this should be the RTM version.... booo). I started with the core apps, like glance, extra and info, display and so on.. then i moved to the default windows apps such as messages, phone, mail and calendar ecc.., and at the end the rest like MSN news, Weather, etc..
** Don't update the Store and don't install two apps at the same time, neither tap on "update all". Always one after one **
6. After this first round, i turned off the phone and restarted, so i opened the Store again and searched for updates. This time i got a new group of updates, around 19.
7. Again, install them one by one. When you have finished, now you can finally update the Store.
This is the procedure i did (after many attempts to find a good workaround, and three hard resets). Don't know if the reboot is necessary or leaving the Store update at the end (or installing it as first) make sense, but i did exactly as described above, and i got all the apps installed with no errors.
Actually my phone is running pretty well (anyway light years far from the stability of 8.1...), all the apps are up to date and no pending ones in the Store.
I noticed that the battery seems to last much longer, I am happy with that.
Unfortunately i am very disappointed about the instability of all the core apps (messages/Skype, and phone settings above all), as well as all previous bugs that have not been addressed.... And if this is really be the RTM... mhmhm we will laugh a lot in December when they will release the new Lumias and they will crash every second. My phone keep crashing every time I tap on "Limit data in background" or when in roaming.
Also, Settings always crashes when I want to change the third slot of the quick actions. It always worked fine until the build of September, but since the last two builds I have this issue.
The workaround i found is:
1. tap the second slot
2. assign to it the same action that is actually in the third one (so the third will switch to the second and viceversa)
3. tap once again the second slot and assign a new action different from the one that by default was in the 3rd slot (it should be the phone orientation).
4. now go to the 3rd slot and you can change it without any crash.
It is pretty absurd and risky that this is gonna be the final build that in December we will see on new Lumias. There are still hundred of bugs and constant crashes that need to be addressed and fully tested! This OS is still pretty far from being a RTM. Really!
My memory goes back to Windows 95, when MS decided to release it when it was still in beta. They knew but for commercial purposes they had to put in on the marked. But, compared to this Windows Mobile, it was much more stable and complete.
Windows 10 Mobile does not lack only on the stability side. There are still too many incongruences in the GUI, still some core apps belongs to the old Windows 8.1 (for instance, all the apps in the Extra menu)....
Honestly all my hopes started to fall with the 10581, when most of the old bugs were still there. But now, after this last build acclaimed to be the final one..... i am really hopeless..
.. I just wish not to be obliged to switch to Android in a not so far future...
