A Google strike against W10S maybe?

:)

 

Google Calendar account isnt syncing correctly

On my Windows Phone, changing Settings > email & accounts > Gmail > "Download new content" to "as items arrived" worked! Now, when I create or delete a calendar item on my Windows Phone, it's immediately added to or removed from Google Calendar. Likewise,
when I create or delete a calendar item in Google Calendar, it's immediately added to or removed from my Windows Phone.

Awesome!

 

Google accounts syncs forever.

I have Lumia 525. I have a microsoft account, a gmail account and a google account set up. All those were working fine. I had to delete the google account for some reason and when i added that account later it wont stop syncing. The sync never ends, i
dont know why. I deleted the gmail account just to figure out the issues myself. The gmail account was added easily and synced successfully. I tried rebooting the phone, disabling internet connections, eeping the phone in flight mode, but not could cancel
that sync. And since the account is greyed out., its inactive.

 

How does Google not scanning mail for ads relate to Windows 10 S and it's bold security defenses and performance claims? I do not understand.

Do you mean Windows 10 in general and it's immense amount of telemetry, user data gathering and difficult to remove spying components?

Then I agree!

 

Windows 10S is insane!
You can't even run a cmd or bat file!

 

Precisely why I believe this OS is a handicap rather than anything. It's simply impractical as of right now. You cannot run any external files, and it must be approved by MS and the Windows Store.

 

If you could run CMD/powershell, you could probably easily bypass some restrictions.

 

Windows 10S: This really is a most useless OS!
Can't install anything, nothing is installed, can't run any files!
Gosh, I'm surprised it'll play an mp3 that wasn't purchased through Groove!!!
Single basic display adapter, basic audio adapter, etc.
What you see is what you get! *Confused

 

Apple Methods come to Microsoft ?

It is of course aimed at students - so as long as it doesn't make too much noise and wake them up in time for class then it's perfect *Devil

 

But there are definitely things in the Store not for kids!
I posted some search screenshots earlier, but then thought about it, and deleted the post, before a mod or admin had to.(Do you call that Posticide???)

 

I didn't know Google ever admitted doing it in the first place.

 

GOSH!
It's letting me run setup.exe for an in-place upgrade! *Biggrin

 

K, I'm done; I won't de-rail this thread anymore.
(I don't think Windows 10S warrants a thread of it's own!)

 

The "S" in 10S means s***. Windows 7 Starter is even more useful than that thing.

 

Steve It's probably just a political statement - They're saying they are going to stop doing something that they never said they did, which everyone else knew they were doing anyway, Maybe *Wink
