Virtual reality is hardly new on mobile devices. Several companies have ran with the torch, including industry leaders like Apple and Samsung. However, running high-quality VR and mixed reality requires powerful processing. Enter the Snapdragon 845 and the Xtended Reality platform. The upcoming mobile processor flagship will be very powerful and will be the next wave of Windows 10 on ARM. It will also take mobile reality warping to the next level by moving to virtual reality....

In response to a support Google Play review, the agent said: “Samsung Flow is compatible with TabPro S now. But it will support all Windows 10 PCs from Windows 10 next major update (estimated early April). Thank you.” The app also lets users read their TabPro S notifications from an Android smartphone and reply from their PC. It’s not clear how much of this functionality will be coming to desktops, but it’s possible all of it will be included....

“I do think backdoors are a terrible idea, that is not the way to go about this,” he said. “We’ve always said we care about these two things: privacy and public safety. We need some legal and technical solution in our democracy to have both of those be priorities.” The statement follows requests for Apple to help unlock iPhone’s associated with a December 6 shooting at the Pensacola naval air station....

The app appears to introduce new themes, with a default landscape image along the top. Meanwhile, the month view takes a much more prevalent position, and shortcuts to apps like Microsoft To-Do and mail have been shifted to a sidebar, rather than a bottom one. Meanwhile, Microsoft seems to have opted for an uncharacteristic rounded button to add a new event. The app generally has more space between elements, and calendar sources are shown in a circular icon the left-hand side....

Available on Apple’s iOS and Google’s Android platforms, sharing a mobile screen has plenty of interesting uses. With the tool, users can find the share screen option located under the flyout menu that is available during a video call. The feature will be particularly useful for quickly sharing documents, photos, or webpages for collaboration across devices. “Whether you have a last-minute meeting on the go, or your dad doesn’t know how to use his phone—screen sharing on Android and iOS lets you get it done from anywhere....

Elsewhere, Microsoft has made the usual performance improvements and general bug fixes. Disabling notification sounds for new messages is a useful tool that really should have been part of the Skype Android experience before. It will be particularly useful for users who receive lots of messages but may also be in situations such as meetings where consistent notifications are a problem. Unfortunately, there are no other new features available with this update....

As you might have been expecting, neither the pen nor the camera are affordable. Of course, the Surface Hub 2 costs thousands of dollars, so it is no surprise to see its official peripherals get a steep price tag. The Surface Hub 2 Camera is listed on the Microsoft Store for $219.99, while the Surface Hub 2 has a price of $169.99. Twitter user and Microsoft watcher WalkingCat found the listings, but they aren’t live yet....

Many traders use patterns of candlesticks to predict future market movements. They have been around for centuries and are still popular today, despite being discredited as an effective tool by modern economists. The first thing to understand about candlesticks is that they do not predict anything; instead, they provide information on past price movements to make educated guesses about future ones. This means there is no guarantee that any particular pattern will lead you towards success or failure; however, it does mean there’s always some risk involved when trading with them!...

It seems the CMA is worried the Activision Blizzard deal will stifle competition in the growing cloud game streaming market. Specifically, the watchdog says, “Microsoft could use its control over popular games like ‘Call of Duty’ and ‘World of Warcraft’ post-merger to harm rivals.” CMA is the competition regulator in the UK, so Microsoft will need its approval for the deal to go through. In its statement, the CMA will look at how the console market will be affected by the merger with Activision Blizzard....

Some onlookers have raised concerns Microsoft will also suspend the launch of the Surface Duo. However, that seems unlikely as a new Duo emulator was released yesterday. This suggests development for the smartphone is still in full swing. While questions about the Surface Duo were obvious once the Neo was suspended, they are two very different devices. Sure, they may look similar, but both run entirely different platforms. Microsoft’s Surface Neo is a 2-in-1 that would have debuted the Windows 10X platform....

However, all of them have a major problem. They require the launch of expensive infrastructure that isn’t there yet and often require regulatory approval. Microsoft Research’s latest idea wants to provide access with an existing infrastructure: airplanes. The ‘Wi-Fly’ project would use license-free WiFi spectrum and routers on commercial aircraft, connecting to inexpensive repeaters on the ground. Due to the large volume of flights with high-quality WiFi, Microsoft believes it could provide internet coverage to much of the globe....

The Inquirer reports a poster on the Razer Forums (Kokorone) claims all Razer laptops are affected. It seems all devices are incompatible with Windows 10 Version 1709, the Fall Creators Update. Users are advised to avoid the update for now, or to roll back to the Creators Update. “Razer has not updated compatibility with their drivers to support this version of windows and it renders the trackpad, keyboard, and USB features useless when waking from sleep mode on battery power....

If you are unfamiliar with Windows 10 on ARM, it offers the best of PC computing with mobile. On Always Connected PCs, that means huge battery life and portability. On a mobile device, Windows 10 for ARM would allow a smartphone to run a full PC platform. Developers have now added a new feature to ARM on Lumia 950 and Lumia 950 XL devices. Gustave Monce who is one of the lead developers took to Twitter to confirm GPS is no functional on the handsets....

1 How to Enable ‘Do Not Display Last Signed-In User Name’ via Local Security Policy2 How to Enable ‘Interactive Logon: Do Not Display Last User Name’ via Registry Editor Enabling the policy will prevent the full name of the last user from displaying on the sign-in screen. Instead, it will just display “Other user” at startup, making it harder for someone to guess the credentials. If the computer has been signed into and recently locked or restarted, it will instead show the currently active user and a ‘Switch user’ button in the bottom left corner, rather than a username and profile picture....

In its monthly report, NetMarketShare shows Windows 10 user share on desktops dipped to 56.08% from 57.34% a month ago. MacOS boosted its share from 3.41% to 4.15%, while Linux and Ubuntu together jumped to 2.86%. As for Windows 7, it remains the second most used platform with 25.59%. There are a few interesting things to discuss from its data. Firstly, it’s always amazing just how robust Windows 7 is....

According to Twitter account WalkingCat, the build contains references to a CShell TextInput component and will be based on SwiftKey. Microsoft acquired the popular Android keyboard in February last year, gaining access to its powerful neural net predictions. For those unfamiliar, Composable Shell scales Windows 10 dynamically depending on device and display. It means Windows can be built on one branch, and users will have the same, consistent experience. For example, the Start menu will come to Windows 10 Mobile, along with Live Tiles and context menus....

It seems the screens have intensified since the last Windows 10 updates. Users report a surge in screens that say “Get even more out of Windows”. What’s especially annoying about these nag screens is they cover the whole display. Microsoft would previously only allow these screens to appear when a machine was started or following an installation of Windows 10. Now the notifications are more apparent throughout the Windows 10 experience....

On the Windows Blog, Microsoft explains how support for ARM natively is important because it can help improve battery life. It is worth remembering these updates are available directly through the app pages on the Microsoft Store. Microsoft now delivers native app updates individually and not as a part of Windows upgrades. This allows the company to deliver updates to apps when new features are ready instead of waiting for the once-a-year Windows 11 upgrade....

On Windows 11, you will get one chance to see your browser alternatives before they are hidden away. Specifically, like on Windows 10 when you open a web link for the first time, or install a new browser, the platform gives you the opportunity to select it as default. Unless you choose “always use this app” this time, the browser will not become default. Ok, this is the same as normal, but changing a default on Windows 10 was relatively easy....
