  1. Plex installed, but not showing up as an app in Family


    Our family shares a laptop. We all have separate accounts, each tied to a microsoft account, and I can see all the family members listed at https://account.microsoft.com/family/.


    I can block my kids' access to some apps, like Chrome, and this works fine.


    However, I use Plex on my account, but I don't want the kids to use it. But, Plex doesn't show up on the list of apps in the family safety website, so I can't block it.


    Appreciate any help.


    Best,

    Insano

    getting error 0x800700ce installing app windows 10 mobile, 950xl, plex

    I got the new 950XL and the plex app will not install from the app store. It will download and then i get "try that again error - see details". the details show something went wrong the error code is 0x800700CE, in case you need it. I've restarted the phone
    and tried re-downloading and i still get the same error. All other apps are downloading properly.

    This needs to be addressed.

    This is what the plex forums said

    A quick search shows that the error is about a filepath being too long. That is pretty bizarre, considering the store should really be smart enough to handle issues.

    Are you installing to SD card? Maybe you can try to phone memory?

    Unfortunately this is totally out of our control.

    Insurgency wont install and run for me....

    I have played and have fully updated CS and Half life 2....
    I am using the newest client and installed the SDK.

    I am completely blown away, if i click the desktop icon it starts the sdk and then closes, and it doesn't show up in my game list...

    First mod attempt install here, followed the directions step by step on the mods website...

    Any ideas?
