Windows 10: Microsoft Launcher gets the Timeline feature and it syncs with Windows 10

The wait is finally over. Microsoft today released a new update for Microsoft Launcher on Android that adds support for the highly-anticipated Timeline feature.

You will now see the Windows 10 activities on your Android’s phone timeline screen and you can tap on any item to resume the activity.

• Feed: The updated feed navigation in Microsoft Launcher will give you one-tap access to Glance (weather, calendar, calls), News and Timeline tabs. There’s also a cog icon located at top right corner that will let you access your feed settings. For example, you can disable any feed including Timeline if you don’t like it.
• News: There’s a news feed that uses Microsoft’s News engine to keep you up to date with local and international use.
• Parents can now view their kids’ real-time location.

The update also brings support for Windows 10 Timeline feature. You can use it to see your Windows 10 activities (Microsoft Edge, Word etc) on your Android’s Timeline tab. Last but not the least, Cortana is now available in Denmark. The last update to the Launcher app added support for Cortana in the Indian market.

Timeline Activity not showing up

The timeline activity just won't show up on the timeline window. I always get "Use your PC more for activities."

I have enabled the settings required for timeline in Privacy > Activity History:

Let Windows collect my activities

Let Windows Sync my activities

Show activities from accounts

I also tried using regedit to add these variables in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\System

• EnableActivityFeed
• PublishUserActivities
• UploadUserActivities

All the variables are set to 1, and are DWORD values. (as stated in this article http://www.thewindowsclub.com/timeline-feature-not-working-windows), to no effect.

Any more troubleshooting steps I can go through?

Microsoft Selects Dolby Audio for Windows 10

it would've been great if microsoft added HEVC decoders, LAV filters along with other codecs with Windows 10, and developing WMP to be better than VLC, KMPlayer and such sorts of media players.

Nevertheless, this is good step for microsoft, by far.
