I have a week old SP4 with Windows 10 creators edition. Continuing to get it all setup and then yesterday when in tablet mode I noticed that most of my icons in the start menu tiles were blank. The tiles were still there, but no way to tell what application each was for. Today some are back...

For the majority of users, a closed system is much safer and reliable. Windows is a hot mess for the computer illiterate masses that would be better off with a Chromebook. My neighbor is one of them, and I look forward to the day that they don't keep shooting the selves in the foot and wanting...

For K-12 school's I believe they will always be able to upgrade for free. Others will have to decide sooner, which most likely someone would know when they buy it whether they want full or S version. I don't think that Microsoft expects to sell a lot of these to schools... just like Googles...

First, you can upgrade to full Windows 10 for free... so if someone buys one and wants to run it as a consumer they are good go to. Second, the "school" this is designed for is K-12, not a university. That is the market that is being dominated by Chromebooks. In many cases the machines are...

LOL! That would be a problem I guess. :)

Don't get me going on the max seat recliners. I'm 6'3" and always seem to sit behind the 5' tall woman that wants to recline her seat to the max for the entire flight. I hardly ever recline my seat. I've almost had laptops get destroyed when they slam their seat back quickly without a...

I believe there is a timer on the updates though, so at some point its going to force you to install them. My understanding is that the license agreement with W10 forces you to take updates.

I have not use the SP4 on a plane yet... will be doing that quite a bit. I travel all over the world for business so am on some very long flights. I am not understanding why you think that it won't fit on a seat back tray. The keyboard on the SP4 is not as deep as my MacBook Air keyboard...

OK, I now feel like a total idiot. I was stuck in "Recent Notes" view in OneNote App. In that view, it sorts all the latest updated/added pages mixed together from different notebooks. I suppose it stays in that view until you take it out. Now I see that I can select one of the two...

For OneNote 2016, the behavior is like you described because it organizes the sections and pages in each notebook. With the OneNote App, the pages organized in chronological order in one list; not by notebook - section - page. So when you hit the button to add a page, there is no current...

I am using the OneNote App in Windows 10 on my SP4 and have two notebooks open. One is part of my business account and the other my personal account. When I click the "+ Page" to start a new note on a new page, it is putting the new page into the Quick Notes section of my business notebook...

Not sure why you are having problems with Word, but I would highly suggest that you take your notes in OneNote. It is a much better application designed specifically for what you are doing; and can sync across all your devices. I have both business and personal notebooks and sync them to my...

lol... that is kind of the same way I looked at this.

That's pretty good battery life!

I'm still learning the SP4 and today been trying to get a LinkedIn tile next to Facebook and Twitter in the Start menu of Windows 10. I'm shocked that there isn't an app. The best I've done is to save a Chrome tile. Is there a better way or even a way to change the icon for a Chrome start...

I'm interested in your experience because I'm in the return period on the SP4. One factor that helps me sway to SP4 is being able to go to the Microsoft store if I have a problem.

I remember years ago having a location based profile switcher. I googled a bit and found something that might work but I haven't tried. Let us know if you try it and it works. Monitor Profile Switcher

I think I have it set up correctly now... thanks for the help. I swipe left to delete and right to file. The result is correctly placed mail on Gmail when I go to it in the browser. i also really like the Mail app.

I've always know that Gmail behavior was strange, and I think Mac and Windows just handle it differently. Thanks to your reply I looked at using archive vs. delete. That seems to give the behavior I want, albeit not actually deleting the mail. If I swipe them to the left in W10 Mail then...

I am coming from Mac to SP4. I've used Mac Mail for many years with many POP/IMAP mail accounts and more recently with Gmail aggregating the other accounts. In Mac Mail, when I file or delete a mail item to a Mac Mail folder, it doesn't show up in Gmail when I sync from other devices. If I do...
