News flash. Latest W10 phone SW enables SWYPE in Swedish language! Couldn't do that in 8.1. Not a huge thing for most of you I'm sure, but really useful for me  |

Hah - nice to know but I may not be using it in the near future.
A general comment about swype after sending some long-ish messages recently is that it's a great tool and remarkably accurate.

I did the update and the phone does not connect to the phone network.... Wifi etc works fine. I am just busy down loading the windows device recovery tool to see if I can reset the phone to the original factory firmware. If anyone else has had this issue, did you manage to fix it?

Not had it happen to me, Stan. Which model? Did you try a hard reset (losing apps and data) after the update, as that's worth doing first before resorting to the recovery tool?

I have tried all of that, but no luck so far. It's a Lumia 950 XL. Nice looking phone. My wife has the dual SIM version. I haven't done the upgrade on hers yet, just in case...

Up to date model, then. My 950 has no such problem. Could the SIM be corrupt if it only affects the mobile network? Worth swapping around?

It could be the sim is not seating correctly. Its a long shot and rare but it does happen, random too. Give it a wiggle.

That's weird.
Two days ago I could play all BBC radio content in edge in the player (never could do that with 8.1, had to click download and then it would play, clunky but worked).
Now in W10 phone browser it's saying it can't play as I need flash.
The store has no flash player (only guides).
I can download the prog buy it actually physically downloads it now. Never did in 8.1.
Then I still can't play the download as Groove won't play it - can't find audio device.
More messing needed to resolve...
Anyone else have this problem of missing fFash player?
Update : Well it seems as long as I have a Bluetooth device connected it will play them - most strange. I can't get it to see the built in speaker or plugged in headphones, it can't seem to route the audio through. The Flash player message seems to be a red herring?! Without bluetooth or plugged in device.
Most of the time the sound via this method is not right though - not crackling but slightly fractured sound. I've had this from time to time on w10 - perhaps it is the BBC or phone, Laptop never a problem.
i feel a bug report coming on..

The lack of Flash support in all platform browsers is going to niggle for a while as the entire internet adjusts to HTML5.
I seem to remember there was a BBC Radio app in the store. Is it not there any more?

I am in the middle of the install for the new laptop, which appears to be going well. I have fixed all but one of the problems on the old PC. Anyone using paperport should be aware that there is a "scanner detecter" utility which needs to be downloaded and installed for Windows 8 and above. My clanky old Brother DCP9045 lives to fight another day (got very close to the scrap heap this time) I presume at some stage I can customise to deal with niggles. I really don't want the start button to give me a choice of games and social media, I want it to offer me the Microsoft office range, by professional software suite (8 programs) paperport and the like I have bought a large book... |

Go through the Start menu, right-click and unpin the ones you don't want.
Then go through the Apps list, right-click and add to Start Menu the ones you do want.

I installed my first production Server 2016 (its core is Windows 10 so relevant to this thread) on a nice Dell 16 core Xeon PE730 with 128GB RAM and 5TB of 15k rpm RAID10 disks. It goes! I then setup the Hyper-V role and installed another copy of Server 2016 running as a virtual machine under it. Seamless, and it still goes when allocating 6 CPU cores, 32GB RAM and 1TB storage.
I then amused myself by migrating it to another Hyper-V host machine across the network. Live. While doing stuff. Amazing!
This one is getting Exchange 2016 ready to migrate our mail system from Exchange 2013. Lots and lots of lovely setting up and mailbox migrations to do.

Perhaps we can get the forthcoming Invoke with Cortana and Amazon's Echo with Alexa to talk to each other?  |

MS released a fix for the cyber hijack that struck today, back in March!
NHS computers still use XP enmass it seems! - To me that is negligence.
Being on the latest OS and with the latest update seems like a no brainer to me! Okay some lag for big corps but XP really!
That's 4 generations behind and W10 has been around for over a year now!

XP or not, one of the problem with a lot of these corporate computers is that they tend to get set up equally. So you'll find the same programs, layout, and security settings on each computer. So it then becomes easier to just compromise one, and the rest will follow.
I remember how at my former workplace I had my own laptop and set it up the way I wanted. The company's PC was used for corporate emails only. One day the company was hit by a trojan attack, and only my laptop worked in the whole building.
It is not difficult to protect yourself without much effort. A laptop with a SD card slot is possibly the best platform for that. Just get a SD card and set it up under File History on W8/8.1/10 to do continuous backup. I set mine to clear data older than 1 month automatically. That takes care of data loss in case you are unfortunate enough to get infected.

As a small mitigation for the NHS, upgrading their total systems from XP would be a huge investment in time and money, not to mention the disruption.
HOWEVER - now the disruption has happened, maybe now is also the best time to do this..

More emerging.
You needed the March security update release regardless. XP not supported so no way was that going to avoid.
W7 has extended security only updates until 2020. W8 / W8.1, W10 supported. But you have to accept the updates!
I'd noticed quite fervent update activity a while back - was it March? Then over the last couple of days my devices were needing restarts out of hours for updates. All done without impact.
