  1. MS core app updates - I often notice them getting stuck


    I have pro version and although you can set updates on apps to not install automatically I keep the auto setting on. Now all the apps seem to happily update in background but on occasions I note that ms core apps get stuck in the update process. For example in the past I have launched both calculator and photos app only to find it refuses to open. I then go into Windows store and check for updates. The offending app is always stuck in these instances. Either half downloaded or fully downloaded but not completing install. It's a real easy fix, just pause the download and then manually select to redownload or un pause it and it all goes through then just fine. I'll then launch the app and is all works perfect. Just put it down to the glitchiness of Windows. But tonight I just checked the updates again for interest and saw the 'get office' app stuck half downloaded. Another core ms app. Not that I need it as office 365 is already activated and installed. But it seems this happens with MS core apps too often. All the other apps such as Facebook , Twitter etc update fairly regularly and never see the issue. I guess I wondered if others notice the same? It's not a big thing as its a really easy quirk to rectify but it's a bit annoying

    HERE Maps disappeared from the store?

    Since here maps was released on Android I've noticed that they haven't been updating the apps as often I contacted them on Twitter about their windows phone apps to receive no reply, fortunately the maps on windows 10 look to have most of the features
    that here maps had that people liked unfortunately it looks like the 920 or 620 won't be getting the windows 10 update.

  3. HP laptop programs keep 'not responding' since windows 10 upgrade

    Since laptop did a huge update a couple if days ago, it's been slow, keeps freezing and often programs are 'not responding' after a couple of minutes of opening them. I have to keep shutting down my laptop but it often gets stuck and won't actually shut
    down! Add to this that it's 50/50 whether it will even bother starting again or simply get stuck on the starter page :-/! It's not a very old laptop and ran perfectly before the update.

    Please help!!
