[ad_1] The company stressed that this will wipe your existing apps, and your data you choose “remove everything.” And remember, this is pre-release software.

Microsoft’s ‘Your Phone’ screen mirroring app is down
[ad_1] This is bad timing for an outage. As The Verge explains, the Galaxy Note 10 has its own version of Your Phone, called “Link to PC.” That phone just went on sale last week, and Link to PC is reportedly unavailable as part of this outage. Typically, the app lets you reply to texts, […]
The most stylish Snapdragon laptop yet
[ad_1] Samsung kept things pretty minimal with the Galaxy Book S. There’s only a single USB-C port on the right edge, while another USB-C slot and a headphone jack are all you’ll find on the left. Tucked under this pair of ports is a SIM card slot that also has a spot for a microSD […]
Standalone Cortana app available to Windows Insiders
[ad_1] As part of the Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 18945, Insiders in the Fast ring can preview a handful of new features. The updated assistant supports light and dark themes in Windows.

Microsoft leak suggests hideous Windows Start menu could be coming
[ad_1] The redesigned Start menu also has a search bar at the top that lets you search both apps and the web. It has an area of “suggested apps,” which might recommend apps based on other programs you’re running or frequently used apps, and it supports dark mode. You can take a peek at the […]
A Bluetooth vulnerability could give hackers your location
[ad_1] The vulnerability has to do with the way Bluetooth-enabled devices pair with each other. In that relationship, one device serves as the central connection and the other plays a peripheral role. The peripheral device sends out a signal that contains a unique address — similar to an IP address — and data about the […]
Windows 10 preview could bring Alexa to your PC’s lock screen
[ad_1] There aren’t other major updates, although artists might like lower latency for inking when a stylus or similar device has appropriate hardware support. It’s going to take a while before this feature reaches finished Windows 10 updates, and possibly a while after that before Amazon and others hop aboard. Microsoft also warns that it’s […]
Windows 10 preview tests password-free sign-ins
[ad_1] The feature is only available on a “small portion” of users’ PCs at the moment, so it may take a week or more to see it. And since this is the Fast ring, you shouldn’t be surprised if there are any bugs. There are other reasons to consider the release, at least. The Your […]
Microsoft’s next big Windows 10 update is actually pretty small
[ad_1] We hope you liked the features added in the Windows 10 May 2019 update, because it may be a while before other noticeable upgrades happen. Microsoft committed to a biannual major release schedule for Windows 10 back in 2017, and now it confirmed that the “19H2” update set to roll out later this year […]
Windows 10’s redesigned Terminal is available in preview
[ad_1] The preview still has “many usability issues,” including the absence of assistive technology. This isn’t something you’d want to rely on for work until there’s a polished copy. It’s better than compiling the code for Terminal yourself, though, and it’s a good peek at how Microsoft is courting some of its most demanding users. […]
