Windows 10: Developer puts full Windows 10 on Google Pixel 3 XL

After porting Windows 10 on ARM to Lumia 950s, Nintendo Switch, Raspberry Pi 3, developers have now installed the OS on Google Pixel 3 XL. Developers are now working on an early implementation of Windows 10 on ARM for Google Pixel 3 XL, which uses Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 845 processor.

It’s another living example that Windows 10 ARM possibilities are endless. It’s worth noting that there are several issues when running Windows 10 for ARM on an unsupported device like Pixel Xl 3. For instance, due to the lack of proper drivers, various functionality, including cellular connection, WiFi, Bluetooth, sensors may not work properly.

As shared by Twitter user NTAuthority, Windows 10 for ARM is able to boot console window for now, but eventually, the developers should be able to run the OS on the smartphone.



We can expect Windows 10 to run smoothly on Pixel 3 XL once drivers are successfully ported and various issues associated with memory regions are addressed.

Another challenge is associated with the notch of Pixel 3 XL which will hide components of Windows 10.

Although the project does sound interesting, it’s not something you can use as a daily driver. You won’t be able to install Windows 10 on your Pixel 3 XL anytime soon. But it’ll become a possibility when more members from the hacker community are involved.

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK

File Explorer Crashes when attempting to browse files on Pixel XL

Hello John,

Auggy's solution doesn't appear to be applicable to my issue. The situation Auggy resolved was with a 3rd party DLL that was installed with an app. My error is being caused by PortableDeviceAPI.dll, which is a Microsoft DLL and an integral part of Windows
10.

I think my next step is going to be replacing PortableDeviceAPI.dll on the failing PC with a known good copy from a laptop that is able to read the Pixel XL.
