Windows 10: Contact Support App Does it work for anyone?

All it does is run travelling dots. *Sad





:)

 

Windowsphone.com does not work for me. Does it work anyone?

I almost lost my phone last night and tried to locate it on windowsphone.com but it kept saying that it couldn't locate my phone even though my phone fits all the requirements. Luckily I left it in the backseat of a friends car. And it kept saying SMS
limit reached even though I didn't send anything

 

Windowsphone.com does not work for me. Does it work anyone?

I asked it to ring my phone and it did. I would say that the Find My Phone works.

 

Ooh, doesn't that sound so friendly? Hmm, well, now Microsoft doesn't provide linked help and relies on non-MS experts to provide guides to its OS I'm not so optimistic.

So I tried 'Can't boot to login screen'




The first link offered this:



'Abandon hope all ye who enter here' comes to mind.

 

Well, it's good to know It does something for somebody sometimes. *cry

 

Useful? Really? Support for XP has ended? Mmm, not so sure that's really useful... *Biggrin

So, you asked if it worked for anyone... I'm using an MS account, and I've tried it as a local user. It seemed slower to start with the latter (more time on ......... ), but worked.

You could try this from
Apps - Reinstall and Re-register in Windows 8 and 10 - Windows 10 Forums

PowerShell -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -Command "& {$manifest = (Get-AppxPackage *ContactSupport*).InstallLocation + '\AppxManifest.xml' ; Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register $manifest}"

 

I have a feeling it does not work in Insider installations - that's where my first image came from.

I can't find reference to "Useful" anywhere in this thread, except in your post, Dalchina, and now in this one!
