Glance background not able to install for build 10512

[Snowy Nokia]

Heya all. So glance background will not allow me to install on build 10512, has everyone else noticed this. Any workarounds?
By far it's my favorite feature!

I have the same issue after updating today.

Hmm... are you sure it wasn't there? Have a look under Storage -> Phone -> Apps and games. It should be there....

I have it but it was migrated from 8.1 a couple builds ago.

Had it in 10166 but it doesn't show up now. Miss it.

On prior builds glance had a habit of going away if you did a hard reset.

I kind of wonder if it's another thing on the list MS is getting rid of. Next major release they'll probably decide to get rid of Cortana, lol.

Yeah, Same for me.
I have a Lumia 820. I still had Glance after the Update (and it worked fine)... It was gone after a hard reset
If anyone knows a work around it... Please share.

No workaround that I know of. This happened to me with both 10166 & 10512. It worked fine after the upgrade, but not after a hard reset. After a hard reset it is gone. I would suggest that you use the Windows Feedback app to tell Microsoft that you need this feature, and cannot find its settings any longer.

i had the same issue ! it's there but you just can't find it
you need to open to glance from the store here the link https://forums.windowscentral.com/e...ionId%3DgTAc810%252bLEu9SZtP.7&token=Gl5Ut2ok it will appear open
if it doen't hold the return button open an other app then return to the store !

Wow man. Thank you... It worked

Yes thx, this is a workaround for glance screen, which I always use, though I'm referring to glance background, the ability to apply background images to the stand by screen. Any word on that would be appreciated.

Doesn't it just use your lock screen image now?

Doesn't it just use your lock screen image now?

I wish at least something, sadly no.

Glance is eating up my damn battery. Hope we can disable it on the next build.

Hay guys, Here is a way for you to get to the glance screen and the backgrounds on windows10 build 10512.1, 1st go to the store an download the app "system app pusher" free open it up go down the list you will see glance backgrounds 1st but keep going down you will see glance, this will take you to the store were app is allowing you to open and all the settings are there and works fine for me with my background showing the time. Don't think notification work?

Mine showed up in extra settings after hard reset.

Mine is set to the lock screen but I had set it on a prior build. I haven't reset my phone since either.
