No/Few Oz Gov Apps for Windows Phone

I notice that Australian Government Agencies (two examples being ATO & Medicare) tend to provide e-Gov apps for Apple and Android phones but not for Windows phones. This can be frustrating because, for one example, some services from Medicare can only be
used via a phone. If you don't have an Android or Apple phone you have to visit their physical shop and wait in a long cue.

At the moment I'm wondering if Microsoft is serious about being a player in the phone market with the Windows Phone O/S and if I should switch to Android or Apple because of my need to access government Apps.

Can the Government legally disadvantage a market player like Microsoft because its market share is seen to be insignificant? Is Microsoft powerless to do anything other than sit back while the Government deliberately locks windows Phone users out of e-Government
services?

Microsoft needs to take this up with the Government because ultimately this will cost them market share and users.

Can anyone tell me if the Australian Government intends to roll-out apps for Windows phones along with those for Apple and Android?

 

Unable to sign into Windows

Hi Peter,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

1. What is the error you get while trying to sign in?
   
2. When you say ‘0000’, are you referring to a PIN?
   
3. Is it a local or Microsoft account, you use with Windows sign in?
   
4. Do you see any other sign in options like password, fingerprint or facial recognition?
   
5. Do you see any options on screen to reset your password?
   

If you are using the Microsoft account with Windows sign in, choose password option under sign in options and type in the Microsoft account password and let us know if it works.



Please get back to us with the information requested, so that we can suggest the appropriate troubleshooting steps.



Regards,

Unable to upgrade Windows 11 Home to 11 Pro

Thanks much, Dave, indeed it was a big job.

Clean install of Windows 11 from a bootable USB helped to Activate the Pro.

Just to summarize what was done:

1. Took backup of the drives and save some on cloud.
   
2. Installed the Media creation tool app as you suggested (https://www.microsoft.com/software-...t=Windows 11 Installation-,Media,-If you want)
   
3. Connected the USB and ran the application and downloaded the Windows 11.
   
   1. additional thing which I had to do is to install WLAN driver to the USB in advance, to have the WIFI option available as it was required to connect to a network to download the latest windows features while reinstalling the Windows, and Wi-Fi option was not available.
      
4. Turned off the 'Secure boot' from the BIOS menu.
   
5. Changed the 'Boot Order' in the BIOS menu to first use the USB Boot.
   
6. Saved and Exit, which triggered Restart and Windows installation.
   
7. During the network connecting stage to install the latest updates and features - 'Let's Connect you to a network', I opened the CMD (Shift + F10) and ran than WLAN driver exe to install it and then I was able to connect to my WIFI network.
   
   1. Optional to this step is to BYPASS the network connection stage by following this - bypass "lets connect you to a network" - Microsoft Community
      
   2. Then, doing that manually once Windows has been installed.
      
8. Once everything is set-up, I followed the suggestion from this again, and it worked - Unable to upgrade Windows 11 Home to 11 Pro - Microsoft Community
