Windows 10 for Phones is so broken it's not even funny. I think it's ridiculous they're already releasing builds for phones, considering the state that they're in.

The platform is just too rough/unfinished in my opinion to be released to the public already.

So you'd rather them not show anything and keep Insiders in the dark?

I feel this is turning into an endless discussion. I just think they should have waited until the platform is more robust/cohesive.

But you're installing it on your daily use phone and expecting it to work as a daily OS. 

10052 should have a good number of bug fixes compared to 10051, give it a try and see how it compares.  I expect lots more of these updated builds that have bug fixes and nothing new in them from now on.

So does this compile it into a native windows application or does WP just use the "Jabba the Hutt" Runtime Enviornment ?

If it is the former, I hope this will be available for PC too. Sick of putting up with mediocre emulators like BlueStacks. 

 

Android apps are just Java and C++ iirc, Windows can run Java, it has for years, so really this is just an extension of what you could always do with Windows. This means that VS will take your Java code, and tell you what needs tweaking/changing, then at build time it'll spit out a native windows app without you needing to do something over.

It's not hard to think about really, the same with iOS apps, they allow VS to read and understand Objective-C, then spit out a native Windows 10 app.

anyone else having issues with Start not showing after the upgrade?

this is my first preview build and after I unlock it just sits on a black screen saying loading

Same thing is happening to my 930

For me the Start screen doesn't show up when closing all the apps through the task switcher. All you have to do is press the Start button.

The weirdest thing for me is the following:

My pinned apps were not sowing up after upgrading, but they were recognized as being pinned, because in the all apps lit it wouldn't let me pin them. Uninstalling and reinstalling fixed this, but I figured I'd just reset the phone to fix it. Now all my settings that would be under "Extras" are appearing in the All Apps list. Very weird stuff.

I did a hard reset most of the issues on the 1520 are fixed but I cant get to the start screen ? Even powering off and on the phone again just returns me to the all apps list.

Other than that its much improved.

How can I force installation through mobile connection? I don't have access to WiFi at the moment, and I rather not go and sit in some public place for hours to download the new build.

 

Never mind. I'll stick to 8.1 now. I didn't know it was THAT much buggy on a real device, thought it was only Hyper-V acting up. Surface Pro 2 was basically unusable. I guess I'll do my thesis on 8.1 and mention the 10 stuff and how it relates to it.

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • Microsoft brings Planner Agent to all Microsoft 365 Copilot users by Ivan Jenic Image: Microsoft Microsoft has announced that Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot is now generally available to all users with a Microsoft 365 Copilot license. Planner Agent is the latest addition in the string of AI features that Microsoft is implementing across virtually all of its products. The agent lets you manage tasks through natural language prompts directly inside Microsoft 365 Copilot. You can create and update tasks, check priorities, and get insights about current entries without leaving the chat interface. The general availability release comes with a handful of new additions on top of what was available during the initial rollout. A new plan picker lets you search and filter your plans by name, then update task names, statuses, due dates, or priorities through the agent. There's also a goals bucket now, which lets you group tasks under specific goals. This builds on the Goals view, a feature that was introduced as part of the broader Planner refresh that rolled out earlier. Image: Microsoft | Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot All AI-generated plans and tasks are created in draft mode by default, so you can review and approve changes before anything goes through. This is actually a thoughtful safety feature, because trusting AI to handle all your tasks without a human in the loop is usually a recipe for disaster. Having tasks initially saved as drafts is the best possible middle ground. Microsoft also says that not all tasks are executed equally. Simple tasks get processed quickly, while more complex ones, like building a plan from a Word, Excel, or PowerPoint file, are handed to a more capable model. Microsoft says this approach delivers the best performance, but it could also help with usage management, as you won't have to waste tokens on performing simple tasks. Planner Agent is available now across Teams, Loop, SharePoint, and other Microsoft 365 apps for anyone on a Microsoft 365 Copilot subscription.
    • To be clear I'm anti trump, the bigger point is why review this game at all?
    • Trillion dollar Microsoft has to reduce spending by hurting more people. Good job Microsoft. Good Job Asha.
    • That's a shame. The big Xbox reset when Phil and Sarah left and then Asha came on and brought a new team of executives, and all the layoffs last year and saying that the ABK merger wouldn't result in redundancies I am surprised they are calling for yet another reset and yet more layoffs.
