Although the troubleshooters are easy to use, it’s a manual process, and no everyone knows that this feature is available. In order to make things simpler, starting with the Redstone 5 update (version 1809) the days of manual troubleshooting to fix problems on Windows 10 are over. Now, the Troubleshoot page includes a new feature that automates the process allowing Windows 10 to automatically apply fixes to common problems to keep your device healthy....

With Windows 10 out the door, Microsoft is also building a new version of its operating system for phones and many users are jumping in to try the preview. However, many users are failing to realize that because Windows 10 Mobile isn’t a finished product and has a lot of issues. Thus chances are that after a few days users may want to rollback to Windows Phone 8.1, and the only way to do that is by reinstalling the operating system, which will wipe out the phone....

If you have used previous versions of Windows Easy Transfer in the past, you might experienced that this Windows’ feature was not the best way to transfer files and setting to a new PC, even more for Windows users that don’t have a lot of experience; it was a little hard to understand and also it would sometimes suddenly stop working before finishing the process. This time around, Microsoft has redesigned the old Windows Easy Transfer feature and now it is more reliable, easier to understand; you can specify what files and settings to copy and even see a final report of what have been transfered and not....

Why Windows 10 and not Windows 9? According to the company, Windows 10 is the most appropriate name, given the extend of changes the operating system is bringing to the table. Along with the official introduction of the next version of the operating system, Microsoft also reaffirmed that still committed to deliver a single app Store across devices, and that it’ll keep investing on universal apps, thus helping developers to code once for all devices....

As I understand the software giant will soon start using “Word Online”, “Excel Online”, “PowerPoint Online”, and “OneNote Online” naming, instead of “Word Web App”, “OneNote Web App”, and so on. Currently accessing the apps via OneDrive (formerly known as SkyDrive) isn’t very obvious for anyone and Office Online is set to change that, and even though creating documents on OneDrive will still exist, Microsoft is reportedly overhauling Office.com to make it the main hub access for its cloud-powered Office applications — something that should have been from the beginning, if you ask me –....

Today, new information from sources familiar to the project say that the codename for the next version of Internet Explorer is “Spartan”. Early last week someone pointed out to me that in the leaked version of Windows Threshold there is a listing for a “zSpartan” app on one of the screenshots published by WinFuture.de. Below is the screenshot showing the entry listed below the Video app in the new Start menu....

According the description, the update “enables support for additional upgrade scenarios from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10, and provides a smoother experience when you have to retry an operating system upgrade because of certain failure conditions....

The console also includes support for HDR sets. As expected, the Xbox One S is 40 percent smaller, and it includes a base to stand it vertically to better use the space on your media center or office. It’s now confirmed that Microsoft has finally built the power supply inside the console, so no more power brick laying around piling dust. The console expands the storage capacity to 2TB to keep your game library growing before you have to buy an external hard drive....

Microsoft hasn’t yet released more details about the updates as a security measure, but when updates are categorized as critical security update are related to vulnerabilities that could allow remote code execution without the user interaction. Windows 8 will get six, while Windows RT will only get five of the critical updates. Finally, the update marked as Important is target to Windows Defender for Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2....

But what’s interesting is that it seems that Microsoft is currently testing a new feature that will allow you to upgrade builds with a single click. This will be very convenient, as we all know that switching from build-to-build requires reinstallation. According to a new article at Neowin, the single-click upgrade feature will appear in Windows Update (but it’s separate from the traditional updates), and users will literally have to do a single click to upgrade Windows Threshold to the latest build....

Once you install the tool, you’ll get a message saying: “Your PC is now ready for Windows Technical Preview — Windows Update will let you know when the latest preview build is ready to install on this PC in early 2015....

The software giant will continue the plan to grow the Windows Phone market by selling more affordable Lumia handsets on already growing markets. To what is already planned, Microsoft will also deliver even lower-cost Lumia devices moving from Nokia X with Android to Nokia X running Windows Phone. “We expect to make this shift immediately while continuing to sell and support existing Nokia X products.” The change only makes sense as Microsoft still has a long way ahead to conquer the mobile space and helping Android isn’t a logical strategy to grow....

Internally at Microsoft, the upcoming operating system is referred as “Windows Mobile” and “Windows 10 Mobile”, and it will be a combination of Windows RT and Windows Phone, which will allow to take advantage of the universal app model. However, the mobile OS is unlikely to offer the desktop environment, only the modern version of Windows 10. While more details on future plans for Windows 10 will be revealed later on the year at the BUILD conference, Microsoft will hold a press event on January 21st, to reveal the consumer features for the operating system across devices....

Now in Texas there is a startup that seems to have found a solution for mobile typing by removing the keyboard altogether from the equation. And I’m not talking about a new touch or speech recognition technology, the project is called “AirType” and it’s basically a keyboardless keyboard that allows users to type on any surface and in the mid-air too. We’ve seen similar technology before that projected a virtual keyboard on a surface, but AirType doesn’t project anything, anywhere....

The good news here is that the software giant also promised that there will be more file format support on Xbox One than in Xbox 360. The company didn’t specify when exactly will be releasing the Media Player app, but we know for sure is coming in the next couple of months. Now Xbox One owners will finally be able to play those MKV and AVI files that they have been piling up in external hard drives....

Apparently after the update is installed the operating system cannot validate the fix and causes infinite reboot loop PCs and servers, according to the Microsoft Support forums: As a possible temporary fix, one of the users in the forum recommended setting Windows as the default boot loader in the BIOS as the GRUB boot loader seems to be getting in the way. This is an issue affecting a small number of computers and Microsoft has yet to comment on a permanent fix....
