    Windows 10 Your Phone app and Cortana just got better in the latest updates


    Microsoft is rolling out new updates to both Windows 10’s Your Phone app and Cortana (digital assistant). While Windows 10 Your Phone app is getting the ability to delete photos stored in your smartphone, Cortana is gaining support for a new File skill, which means it can now help you discover documents in your local or cloud storage.

    Microsoft’s Your Phone app allows you to hook up your smartphone to your Windows 10 PC and it even lets you run Android apps. Later today, Microsoft’s app is getting another functionality that will help you delete mobile photos directly from the desktop.

    The Your Phone app internal builds received this feature back in July and it’s finally rolling out to users. The update is available for everyone including those with non-Samsung phone and you don’t have to update the app from the Microsoft Store to access the new controls.

    It appears to be a server-side rollout and it is being done in a controlled manner.

    After the update, you should be able to open photos captured by your smartphone and click on the ‘Delete’ button to remove it. In future, it’ll be possible to bulk delete mobile photos directly from your desktop.

    Cortana is getting a big update


    Microsoft is still investing in Cortana app and the digital assistant is getting better in the latest update, which is rolling out via the Windows Store.

    As we mentioned at the outset, Cortana is gaining a new feature called “File skill” and it will help you find and open documents on Windows 10.

    You can now ask Cortana to open your files, which means you don’t have to open your File Explorer and navigate the files manually.

    For consumers, Cortana will only search for your files using the author’s name, file type, and document name locally on the PC. If your Microsoft account is part of an organization, Cortana should be able to scan your files in OneDrive for Business and open documents.

    The new feature is rolling out to devices with Windows 10 October 2020 Update and newer.

    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. http://forum.xda-developers.com/windows-10/general/howto-install-windows-10-phones-t3030105

    "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 Phones
    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 ?

    Yesterday Windows Phone 8.1 Update (or GDR1) was pushed out to users who are running the Windows Phone 8.1 developer preview. Cortana is now enabled for the UK and is available in Canada, Australia, and India as an Alpha opt-in. Just updated my 1520 and enabled Cortana, so far so good!
