Windows 10: Unable to download and install Ring security camera app for Windows 10

I have been using the Ring app for a couple of years now without any major problem. Yesterday, however, when I tried to open the app and view recordings, it failed to operate showing only one still picture despite my trying to click other recordings.

Subsequent attempts to use the app result in an error code 406.

In the first instance, I contacted Ring who advised me to delete the app from my laptop, re-boot, and re-install the app.

I followed these instructions but when I opened the Microsoft Store to download the app and clicked 'install', nothing happened. Nothing at all. The screen remained exactly the same. The one message at the top of the page informed me that I already own the app. However, I have checked and cannot find any trace of the app on my computer.

I contacted the Ring help people who eventually denied any responsibility, accusing Microsoft of being the problem!
Fortunately, I can still use the app to view recordings on my smartphone.

I am still unsure as to whether the fault lies with Ring or Microsoft.

I'd value any help as to how next to proceed.

Install the drivers from the Lenovo for the Camera.

If no drivers are available for Windows 10, then try to install the old drivers in Compatibility Mode and check.

Try to install the drivers in Compatibility Mode and check if it helps.

Installing Windows 10 on Lumia 920

I have a Lumia 920 mobile phone.
Found a list on the net with compatible phones that support Win 10. Mine is on that list.
Can't upgrade with the usual way.
Found help on this official website of developers for Windows Phones. It's a step by step no brainer thing. Most people are doing it. Except me. I can't get past point 6. HOWTO: Install Windows 10 for Phones on Non-supported devices (and other hacks)

"6.Connect to the same WiFi that your PC is on. Edit the settings for the WiFi connection to turn on the Proxy and set it to use the PC’s IP address and enter 8877 for the port "

7. Open Internet Explorer on your phone and navigate to http://[pc.ip.add.ress]:8877 where [pc.ip.add.ress] is the IP address of the PC running the WPInsidersHacks app
No idea what this means.I guess i need to access the router and modify some settings in there. Some guy on the forum told me " think he means to use the local IP address of the pc. Go to cmd and type ipconfig and look for ipv4 address. Should be somethin like 192/......"

I did connect my phone as always via wi-fi to my router. But i have no ideea how to use that proxy or how to make my phone have the same Ip as computer. I did start WPInsiderHacks app on pc. This is what it looks like




Theres also this official Windows 10 Preview On Nokia Lumia 920 - Windows Central Forums
It says this :
1. Download the Windows Insider app.
Press ... > about > make sure Sys free space is 300MB or more.
If there isn't enough space, make full reset with Windows Phone Recovery Tool.

Code:
upwp10.chinacloudapp.cn:7777

Download and install certificate.
3. Edit WiFi connection, enable Proxy

Code:
upwp10.chinacloudapp.cn
7777

4. Open Insider app, click get builds
5. You will get Enroll page, do not Enroll yet!
6. Switch to WIFI settings, turn off proxy.
7. Switch to Windows Insider app and now you can enroll for Windows 10 Technical Preview.
Choose Fast option.
8. Check Settings > Phone update.
If it can't find updates, you may need to reboot your phone and enroll again (without a proxy now).

Same thing with the proxy. Anyways the more detailed steps on the DEV forum are much better i think .Cuz they put out more info on how to do it.

Can anybody help me with step 6 ?
