As my thread title states, my disk cleanup has disappeared from my Live Tile Start Screen and also from the Search. If I search for Disk Cleanup nothing comes up. Anyway to get it back and pin it back to my start screen. Also, anyone know what may have caused this to happen? Thanks

If that is the case then the Live Tile App should not be updated me either... I guess your explanation is the only one that makes sense...

That is what is really odd about this situation. The "Notifications" section is not displaying this particular notification. The Live Tile is correctly showing that there was a reply to a status that I posted in, but I cannot find this status anywhere in the app....

The Live Tile people app will show when someone has replied to a standing status that I commented on. Please keep in mind the original status was not mine, but I have since added a comment to it. When I click on the People App, I am not sure where I go to find that status, or the particular...

IE is running significantly faster for me... especially when it comes to opening and closing open tabs... there used to be a good lag, but it is now gone. Will see what else I notice..so far so good though.

what other sites do this? this is not a good thing considering I have no issues browsing any of these sites on Safari used my ipad or Nexus 7. Without another browser option, we need IE to allow for normal scrolling using your finger. I wonder if MS is aware of sites these sites...

Can you please explain what you mean by "compatibility mode". How do I get to it? With that said, I went to redfin's website and they are aware of the issue. They have posted a workaround solution in the meantime: We've heard from a few users that they are having issues with Windows...

I thought it would be interesting to hear what apps everyone is snapping? My favorite thus far has been the mail and music apps. I've also recently been snapping the CNN app in place so that I can be aware of the latest headlines. What apps are taking up 1/3 of your screen?

I have a friend who is looking to buy a home, and I have devoted some time to helping him look for homes on sites like: Redfin.com and Zillow.com For whatever reason, I am having an issue browsing both sites. Redfin.com: If you type in an address, the website does not go past the 73% on...

Very well said. You are absolutely right that if you ask someone who is not a hardcore gadget/technology enthusiast they will not see much of a difference. I do though tend to believe that most decisions were made for a reason...I spend many hours myself tweaking the tiniest of things for...

I disagree. Microsoft itself points to the fact that they had to build the display from scratch since a 10.6 inch screen didn't exist...why go through all this trouble if the difference is negligible? Let's not try to generalize and say that it's all the same when Microsoft spends a lot of...

A lot of great points here. I've learned quite a lot from reading the responses here in this thread. A few additional points/comments: 1) I was under the impression that the Android Nexus 10 was not a 16:9, but a 16:10 which makes the tablet less narrow and more usable in portrait mode...

What does this have to do with not being a rubber stamp fan? The question is very simple, would the Surface be a better device if it was released in a more traditional 10 inch form factor? MSFT is trying to capture the same consumer market as Apple with the RT.. So regardless of whether or not...

I bought the Surface because I liked the OS. The Live Tiles interface caught my eye and really helps the OS stand apart from Apple's. When playing with the Surface at the MS store it's impossible to replicate what it will be like to use the product every day in the house. The one decision I...

Is anyone else thinking that the Surface would be much more comfortable to hold in tablet form (without a keyboard) if it was the same size as the iPad. The 16:9 ratio and larger size just doesn't feel comfortable to hold even in landscape mode. Portrait mode is how I would prefer to read...

What do you mean "Refresh your surface"? I have downloaded all the updates.. how would I refresh? Thanks again...

Thanks for helping guys, but I don't see "windows.old". Why wouldn't I have it?

What unwanted apps? I have installed 0 apps.. the only apps I have are the preinstalled Bing ones. I looked at disk clean-up.. the largest file recommendation they are making is 49mb. I have literally just turned on the Surface and installed the updates that's it...It's a brand new Surface I...

Installed mandatory updates and now have 13.8gb available. I have installed 0 apps myself... I understand that 32gb turns into 24.9gb with Windows and Office. But to go from 24.9gb to 16.9gb to 13.8gb after mandatory updates on desktop and metro makes me think that I will soon be below 10gb...

I think I'll be stopping by my local pop-up store this weekend and checking out what the Surface's there are like.. to me personally it seems out of place compared to how well situated/firm everything else is on the device. I will update once I've had a chance to investigate.
