    Windows 10 Calendar deletes new events

    I can't believe Microsoft has gone this long without fixing this bug. Whether it's a coding bug or an intentional design, it's still a bug.

    Skype can't fix security bug without massive code rewrite

    How can i add more members to a contact group?

    Get a job with MS and rewrite that piece of code Skype can't fix security bug without massive code rewrite ;) I know that is a bit snippy, but it's true. At least it tells you there is a limit. So many limitations are just there without being acknowledged and it just doesn't work and you don't know why. If it
    actually says there is a limit, then apparently the limit is coded in and you can't change it without changing the code, legally (see first sentance), or illegaly, i.e. resorting to hacking and cooking a new ROM.

    System32---.dll?
    Must be the desktop version and not the UWP app then, or?
