Windows 10: First look at new iPhone-like Archive Apps feature of Windows 10

On Windows 10, if you’re bumping up against your computer’s storage limit, you can use built-in features or tools to reclaim a couple of gigabytes worth of storage space.

You can also automate the process by heading to Storage Settings and toggling on Storage Sense, which is a feature that is designed to automatically delete unused temporary files.

Storage Settings and Storage Sense help you delete files that have been in the Temporary Files folder, Windows Update cache, Recycle Bin, and Downloads folder. You can also move your local files from your PC to the cloud using OneDrive when you turn on the Storage Sense.

To make your life easier, Microsoft said it is working on a new feature called “Cleanup recommendations” for Windows 10 that will create a comprehensive list of personal data files, documents, pictures, and installed applications that have never been accessed by you.



This feature will also let you sort installed apps or files by the date last accessed that allows you to do decide what should be removed.

Archive apps in Windows 10


Microsoft is also working “Archive apps” feature for Windows 10 that will allow the OS to archive apps that are installed but are not being used actively used by you.



This feature is apparently linked to the aforementioned “Cleanup recommendations” and a new Group Policy has revealed more details of Archive apps functionality.

“This policy setting controls whether the system can archive infrequently used apps,” Microsoft said.

When you enable this setting, Windows will “periodically check for and archive infrequently used apps.”. When the setting is disabled, Windows will not archive any apps.



By default, Windows 10 will be set to follow default behaviour, which is to periodically check for and archive infrequently used apps. With the new feature, Microsoft says it can reduce the amount of space taken up by dormant apps on your computer.

You’ll be able to find out the apps that are set to be removed/archived by navigating to Settings > System > Storage > Cleanup recommendation.

After an app has been archived and you try to launch that app from the Start Menu, Windows 10 will go online, check the Microsoft Store for the latest package, and redownload the application. Windows will also restore your files and settings from the previous installation of the app.

If an app is no longer available to download and it has been automatically archived, you won’t be able to access it again.

Connect my iPhone XR to Windows 10 desktop

I need to connect to iTunes to backup iPhone contents and sync my iPhone XR with new purchases from the Store to my Windows 10 desktop. According to Apple, the Windows 10 desktop must be Unlocked in order for
iTunes to update and sync to my iPhone XR.

I get the message "Trust This Computer? Your settings and data will be accessible from this computer when connected wirelessly or using a cable." when I connect the iPhone to my Windows 10 desktop via usb
cable.

My specifications are:

• iTunes Version 12.10.7.3.
• iPhone XR iOS version 13.3.1. Version 13.5 available.
• Windows 10 Version 1903 for x64-based Systems (KB4497165).

I have tried previous suggestions:

• Reset Location & Privacy on iPhone.
• Tried a different USB cable for connection of the iPhone and Windows 10 desktop.
• Turned off Wi-Fi on iPhone.
• No personal hotspots defined on iPhone.
• Found this article: About the 'Trust This Computer' alert on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. Followed the suggested steps with no luck.
• Found this article: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204095. Look at step four. "If you see a Trust this Computer alert, unlock your device and tap Trust:. How do I
  unlock the device? Which device -- PC or iPhone?

Any suggestions?

 

No archive ability.

I tried all suggestions to no avail, then gave up and switched to Mailbird, which works brilliantly.
