Will new Titans be released for TF2?

I noticed that some of the*Titan weapons from the old game*available in the*campaign but not in multiplayer.*Mostly the Quad Rocket, but also the fact that*there were loadouts where a*Titan type would have a different weapon or kit.*Are they going to release these loadouts or some new ones?

Annoying lock out of user account
When I boot up I sign in to access my user account -no problem with that.
However if I do not move the mouse within 10 minutes I am logged out and have to sign in again?
I regularly use my computer to display sheet music while I play my guitar...which takes both hands so the last thing I need to have happen is to be logged out and then have to log in again. I have extended all the settings I can find for screen shut down and sleep to 60 minutes....but it makes no difference. Still get logged out after 10 minutes.
Any advice on where/how I can change whatever setting it is that is doing this?

Why no love for the Asus T102HA?
So not wanting to pay the amount for a Surface Pro right now I asked for an Asus T102HA for Christmas. I hadn't actually seen one but from the looks and description on the web it looked like a good replacement for my aged Surface 2 (RT). I'll have to say I'm so impressed with this tablet. It is the right size for a tablet and will do what I need for a desktop on the go. No, it's not as powerful as a Surface Pro (and that is what I will get to replace my main computer when the time comes) but I have quickly fallen for this device The typecover and pen came with the tablet and I got it when the Microsoft Store had them down to $279. I am surprised I hadn't heard more about this machine.

Can't cast to Xbox
So I bought a Surface Pro 4 yesterday and got it all set up. The problem I'm having is casting a video from my documents to my Xbox One or my TV. This wasn't an issue for me with my old laptop which was also running Windows 10.
The only thing that has changed is the new computer. I've compared every setting I can think of and it's identical.
Does anyone know what I could be missing or if there's something specific to the SP4 that needs to be adjusted?

Surface Pro 3 Micro SD suddenly is gone
After applying the latest drivers and firmware up date to my Surface Pro 3, the SD card reader has now gone! I have re-installed the Surface pro 3 image and it is still missing. No matter what SD card I insert, the driver does not show. USB port works great and the SD cards will work fine in a SD reader plugged into the USB port - just not in the SD card reader slot.
I don't think it is a hardware issue although that is always possible. The port disappeared after the update and going back did not fix. I noticed that the BIOS does now have the ability to turn on and off the SD card port, but changing it did not seem to affect the being able to see the card.
Is there any way to go back to a previous firmware? I suspect the latest is the one that killed/disabled the port...

Can I Reinstall Windows 10 Mobile Preview? - Lumia 1020
I joined the Windows Insider program before Windows Mobile 10 was officially released. MS dropped Lumia 1020 from it's supported devices soon after. So I am stuck on build 1511.
Windows 10 build 1511 works for me but I want to reinstall Windows 10.
Question is, will I be able to get back to Windows 10 mobile build 1511 if I factory reset my device, install the Windows Insider and do the updates? Considering the device is no longer supported by Microsoft.
The device came with Windows 8.1 (or 8.0, can't remember).

I have messed with all related settings including turning off the cover from doing any action, though I don't see any options for action on open of cover. It is using current normal updates. I do not have a SP3 cover to test with to see if that performs any differently. Doesn't appear to be any difference on battery or plugged in. The only thing that does seem to work is if I make the lid close action to hibernate it seems to stay in hibernate, but that is extremely inconvenient to wait for wake.

Outlook 2016 add contact
Hello,
I just add a bunch of contacts in outlook 2016. .
Lets say I have 3 contact with the last name smith, shelby and sack.
On the left side of the contacts you see a bunch of letters ab, bc, cd, ef etc. and s.
How do you place all the contacts with the last name starting with s in the s folder (not sure the proper terminology to use)
What are the steps to accomplish this?
Thanks

Can I stay on a version of Windows 10 I want ?
We can install the version of Windows that we want and decide whether to stay on it or not (for example Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8). But can we do the same for Windows 10 (for example Windows 10 v.1511, Windows 10 v.1607 or even the upcoming version: Windows 10 v.1703) and not upgrade to the next version. To reformulate, I want to stay on v.1607 and not upgrade to v.1703. Is that possible ? And if it is, can I do the same for mobile ?

I read up on the fact that the unlock site has been "having technical difficulties" for days on end through anothers question about this very subject. There was a reply by an "administrator" by the name Demetria on how sorry he was that they were having a problem with the site. Send a 'private message' to him with name, phone number, IMEI # etc. and he would help out. Well when I clicked on the @attmobilitycare link he shared it led me to a page that just says PRIVATE MESSAGE. There is nowhere to write no place to start anything. What gives with this company?

Charging a SP4 - Aftermarket Car Charger
Hello,
I like my SP4 and am using it primarily for my astronomy hobby that takes me to dark and cold places where I have to carry my own electrical power. After much search I chose and bought a car charger designed for the SP4. It's rating matches that of the brick that comes with SP4: 12v, 2.58A. But when I hook it up to my portable power source which is a 12v 35Ah deep cycle AGM battery, the charger only pulls about 1.6 amps and pretty much just keeps the SP alive - it does not charge.
I am not sure if the label on the charger simply means it can handle 2.58 amps or it falsely claims that it can pull and provide to the SP4 the 2.58 amp current that it needs.
My main question here is about the role that the computer plays in charging of its battery. Is it possible that the computer is simply not pulling enough?
As opposed to voltage which is pushed into a machine, current is something that the using and needing machine pulls from a source. So a charger, car charger or the brick, seem to play a role as a bridge. Ultimately the computer is the one that is inhaling the amperage from the brick and from the char charger. So if the car charger doesn't have the ability to satisfy the need of the computer then IT suffers and maybe gets damaged because of over-pulling by a commuter desperate for the current? Or is it possible that the computer just doesn't like the non-native power sourc and is programmed to pull in less just to be on the safe side?
I want to look for and find a more reliable portable power supply for it but I am not sure if I should bother. Anyone here have a feel for ho tablets get charged?
Thanks a lot.

How do I get my laptop's mobile hotspot sharing to work again?
It worked JUST FINE before Windows 10, I think it may have even worked sometime on Windows 10. I may not have a strong enough Wifi signal to connect my iPod Touch 4th Gen too in the house I'm about to live (my family uses neighbor's wifi, with permission, it's actually my mom's parents) and it will be COMPLETELY UNUSABLE in the house if I can't connect to wifi on it. My family will most likely not bother getting their own home Internet when they get it for free.
Mobile Hotspot sharing on my laptop use to work JUST FINE, why do companies have to update and make things stop working? Updates are supposed to make things BETTER! I'll tell you why updates make things stop working, because the company wants you to go and buy new products so they can make more money!
Can I make my mobile hotspot sharing on my laptop work again! I used to live in a house with a dirt cheap wireless router that could barely reach (and sometimes disconnected) in my room, and it worked just fine then! HELP!
Oh, I tried getting my dumbphone Tracfone (not smartphone, dumbphone) that can connect to wifi connected through my laptop's mobile hotspot (not that it's really usable for Internet, but I wanted to see if it was just one device that couldn't connect) and that also could not connect.
Twice after a VERY LONG time my iPod Touch 4th Gen connected to my laptop's mobile hotspot, but the little wifi symbol at the top of the screen never showed up, which means it's not connected to the Internet, just like Safari said right on the screen. My laptop's mobile hotspot sharing used to work just fine! Please I need this fixed!

A large number of apps suddenly wont load???
Hi All
I am on build 14393.576 on a Lumia 930
Suddenly my banking app wont load, Orkla speedtest wont load, I cant enter insider in the settings, I cant load UC browser and I am sure several other apps are affected.
I am a smart guy, so I did a hard reset. And restored from backup - I have difficulty living without my old text messages and so on, so I guess I had to restore.
The thing is, the hard reset didnt help a bit. I am still not able to load a bunch of apps. It says loading, but doesnt load. The proces stops with a black or a white screen and thats it. I also feel I have more "resuming" screens lately.
What the h**** is wrong with my 2½ year old phone??? Does some one have an answer?
I would be happy if someone knows to solve it.
I think my next step could be to roll back to 8.1 and forget about w10m......something I really find annoying is the great number of homepages I cant view in edge....wrong size of page and text standing "on top of it self" like the space in between lines are non existent.
What do you guys think?

How to change date and time formats on Windows 10
Not everybody needs to see time and dates the same way — if the Windows 10 default for the Taskbar doesn't do it for you, here's how to change it.
Windows 10 by default displays the date in the Taskbar formatted with forward slashes and two numbers for the year (12/28/16) and 12-hour format for time (12:00 PM), which is totally acceptable, but you can always change these settings if you want to see something different.
Perhaps you want to see dashes for the date (12-28-16) or dots (12.28.16). Or maybe for the time, you want to use a 24-hour format or something more unique, such as replacing "AM" with "Before Noon" (9:00 Before Noon) and "Afternoon" for "PM" (6:00 Afternoon).
Thankfully, Windows 10 is a flexible operating system that includes the necessary options to customize the date and time formats on your device to virtually anything you want.
In this Windows 10 guide, we'll walk you through the steps to customize the date and time formats on your PC.

Star Wars: Rogue One – Wired Xbox One Controllers review
To celebrate the theatrical release of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, PowerA has released a pair of themed wired controllers for Xbox One and Windows 10. Fans can pick the Light Side-themed Jyn Erso controller, or a Dark Side controller emblazoned with a Death Trooper. They look cool, but are they any good as controllers?

Steam Link review: An affordable way to play PC games on the big screen
The Steam Link is an affordable solution to get you gaming on the big screen in the living room without having to lug your PC to the TV.
Steam Link is an interesting device for those already invested in the Steam ecosystem. This little box allows users to hook up their PC remotely to the TV in another room, much like the Xbox app can do with an Xbox One but inverted. It's incredibly simple to use, too: plug a HDMI cable into the TV and either hook up the Steam Link to the router via ethernet or Wi-Fi and you're pretty much good to go.

Problem with aliases on Mail app (desktop and mobile)
Hi there,
I have this strange problem using the default e-mail app on both desktop and windows mobile. When I reply to some mails, the mail app automatically selects one of my aliases instead of my default e-mailadress to reply with. The aliases are then greyed-out; I cannot select another alias. Removing the alias does not solve the problem, even though it will always use the same 'wrong' alias, because when I remove it it'll automatically use another alias in some cases. Does anyone has any idea how to fix this?
This problem does not affect outlook.com, when I reply to the exact same e-mails using Outlook.com, I can still select any alias I like.

Just think someone might need this for his/her Bluetooth headset
I have heard some people complaining about being unable to connect their Bluetooth headsets to their Windows 10 PCs after pairing, I've been down that road my self and the tangible solution I later found out is not shared anywhere on the net (though other solutions are provided, but not quick enough). So, I thought "maybe" someone might need this.
Unlike Windows 7 where the "connect" button is provided to manually trigger the connection between paired Bluetooth headset and the PC, the Windows 10 misses on this feature, even the anniversary update. The problem is, some Bluetooth headsets when paired with a certain device and then use with another device, they lose the connection with the first device they are paired with, so they need to be manually trigger to be able to connect with the first device. Though the Bluetooth headset will still show as "Paired" under "Bluetooth Devices", but it won't connect.
To solve this, I mean to easily connect your paired Bluetooth headset incase it fails to connect with your laptop, simply press "Windows key + K key" (Windows + K), a sidebar just like info center will show up at the left side of the desktop window and all paired Bluetooth devices including your headset will be listed, simply click on your Bluetooth headset name among the list and it will connect.
As a side note, do make sure your Bluetooth headset is turned on before you press the Windows + K keys.

I can't connect to the wifi; Media Disconnected

I tried finding out my IP address using the command prompt but it says media disconnected. What should I do?
P.S I'm able to connect to another wifi of my Brother using the laptop but not to the other one. However, the other one is faster hence I wish to connect to that one instead of the one that I've connected to.

From Surface Pro 2 to Surface Pro 4
Hey there.First of all, sorry if I'm not always clear, English is not my first language :p
I was wondering if there was an easy option to upgrade from a Surface Pro 2 to a Surface Pro 4. I recieved today the SP4 that I am offering to my borther. He currently has the SP2 and is a pro mac user, so having to redownload all the apps he actually has on his SP2 to his new SP4 is something I'll be hearing all day...
Like on W10M, if you change from one phone to a new one, there is a OneDrive backup to get all your apps and *some* data back.
I got this "inconvenience" happen to me too recently. I got a month ago a SurfaceBook to replace my Surface (non-pro) 3 and was kinda sad to see that my Start menu (with all my apps) can't be sync to my SurfaceBook. I need to download again all my apps manually.
Of course, I understand that x86 programs can't be restored, it's always been like that when you change your computer, but It would be cool to be able to restore the apps like in W10M.
Thanks for all the info you could give me :smile:

Why won't my new Windows 10 computer boot?
My new computer was "idling" when the screen went black. Manually powering off ad back on generates the animated circular dots and the HP logo for awhile, but then the screen goes back to black. If I leave the machine on, sometimes it cycles back through and starts over. There are no error messages, but it never boots properly. I can get to BIOS and Windows Recovery, but no bootup to Windows.
In the short time I had the computer, I did not activate an Administrator account or make a Windows 10 recovery disc or drive. I did not make a system repair disc.
Many of the Recovery Tools tasks that might be helpful (such as Bootrec.exe) are not available without the administrator account. Without administrator priviledges, the recovery tools did allow restoring Windows 10 to factory condition, which I did. That doesn't fix the bootup problem. I also restored the BIOS to factory specs, and that didn't help either.

Lumia 650 or Lumia 830
Hi All, I'm currently using a Verizon Lumia 735 as my daily driver and I'm looking into making a side grade to a Lumia 650 and Lumia 830.
The primary reason being the Verizon Lumia 735's Mobile Hotspot feature seems like it's locked by Verizon. I just got a postpaid plan and I am unable to create a hotspot.
So looking at the two possible daily driver replacements, they seem pretty much even. So I'd like to get additional thoughts on this matter.
650 vs 830
Looks
> It's a coin toss, both devices look good.
Screen
> AMOLED vs LCD
Storage
> both 16gb
RAM
> both 1GB
CPU
> Reportedly, the 650 has better CPU speeds but a weaker GPU
Camera
> Windows 10 Mobile turned Lumia 735's half decent camera into a bland one, not sure how it affects Lumia 830. The camera samples of the Lumia 650 are looking decent so far.
Battery
> 650 might be weaker in this regard though I'm not sure.
In addition, I've been reading reports about the 830's camera being faulty with some saying that they are unable to a launch the camera and receive a "Something went wrong" error.
^ This may be deciding factor.
Anyone moved from an 830 to 650 or have owned both? Pls share thoughts.

Help me fix a bad issue when using my Nokia Lumia 635 on Facebook via Internet Explorer?
I love my Nokia Lumia 635 but it has always had a few bad issues & they ONLY happen when I'm using Facebook. I've asked for help on Microsoft Answers, TechRepublic and the Facebook Community site but maybe my problem is too specific to this Lumia 635 since it has way less RAM than anything else does (512mb) and so nobody on those forums else has ever experienced what I have since they all have phones with 1 or 2gb of RAM. I'm thinking that it might be just because it has too little RAM which causes it to mess up or to hang up. Does anyone know if this is a known issue?
I must say that I don't use the Facebook APP since it hasn't always offered everything that can be done by using the Mobile Site m.facebook.com and that I do have my Settings for Internet Explorer set on Mobile Site and not on Desktop Site.
I should say that this phone is only a year old and I'm very careful with it and I never browse to porn or unknown sites, so don't accuse malware.
Also, I've already done both a Soft Reset and a Hard Reset hoping to fix it.
You should also know that I'm NOT an APP guy. I only have a few Installed such as Hill Climb 1 (Hill Climb 2 isn't even available thru Microsoft's closed store) and these problems happen even when no APPs or anything else is running in the background as I do quite often close all unneeded stuff to free up the RAM by holding down the icon in the lower left of the home screen and then closing them.
Only on Facebook, about half the time it displays the Facebook image shifted to the left either about a 1/8" or 1/2" with a solid grey stripe down the right side of the display completely from top to bottom.
Sometimes it works fine but I never know when it might display the next screen weird.
The workaround for this is to either hit the Comment button under any visible posting or sometimes just refreshing will fix it, but sometimes that just does it again.
I hate to sound too blunt or rude but could I ask that only people who are aware of these exact issues and of how they were resolved give a reply here? Again, not to seem disrespectful to those who are trying to help without actually knowing, but I'd prefer to hopefully find some help from someone with actual knowledge of what worked.
I've tried to fix this issue without needing to do some ugly Hard Reset but that hasn't worked. I have done several Soft Resets though.
I've asked the people at Microsoft Answers this in my
http://ift.tt/2imUKb6 but maybe nobody still uses these older, cheapster phones or their database doesn't have the answer.
There's a PrintScreen of exactly what I'm talking here about fixing that is posted at
https://fud.community.services.suppo...f-2de239f45bf4 which is how I guess I need to show you here since this site doesn't seem to allow for any image uploads.
Thank you for understanding this request and for any help that I'm given. I had to add some spaces into the site URLs since this site wants to get mad when it sees site links.

I only have a few Installed such as Hill Climb 1 (Hill Climb 2 isn't even available thru Microsoft's closed store) and these problems happen even when no APPs or anything else is running in the background as I do quite often close all unneeded stuff to free up the RAM by holding down the icon in the lower left of the home screen and then closing them.
Only on Facebook, about half the time it displays the Facebook image shifted to the left either about a 1/8" or 1/2" with a solid grey stripe down the right side of the display completely from top to bottom.
Sometimes it works fine but I never know when it might display the next screen weird.
The workaround for this is to either hit the Comment button under any visible posting or sometimes just refreshing will fix it, but sometimes that just does it again.
I hate to sound too blunt or rude but could I ask that only people who are aware of these exact issues and of how they were resolved give a reply here? Again, not to seem disrespectful to those who are trying to help without actually knowing, but I'd prefer to hopefully find some help from someone with actual knowledge of what worked.
I've tried to fix this issue without needing to do some ugly Hard Reset but that hasn't worked. I have done several Soft Resets though.
I've asked the people at Microsoft Answers this in my
http://ift.tt/2imUKb6 but maybe nobody still uses these older, cheapster phones or their database doesn't have the answer.
There's a PrintScreen of exactly what I'm talking here about fixing that is posted at
https://fud.community.services.suppo...f-2de239f45bf4 which is how I guess I need to show you here since this site doesn't seem to allow for any image uploads.
Thank you for understanding this request and for any help that I'm given. I had to add some spaces into the site URLs since this site wants to get mad when it sees site links.

Can't Use TMX Pro Racing Wheel When*Streaming Games*from ONE*S to SP4?
I have a new Xbox ONE S and Forza Horizon. I love how I can stream games (Halo, Overwatch) from by basement where the Xbox is through my SP4 to my theater big screen, and the Xbox Wireless Controllers work great controlling the streamed games. But, I cannot get the TMX Pro Force Feedback Racking Wheel to work. The SP4 sees the controller and installs it, but it does not control the Xbox when streaming (it works fine when connected directly to the Xbox).
Any ideas on how to fix this...or if it can be fixed? Racing on the big screen is AWSOME, but requires me bringing the Xbox upstairs and directly connecting it unless I can get this controller to work over streaming.

How to change the registered owner and organization info on Windows 10
Here are the steps to have Windows 10 show the correct registered owner and organization information on your computer.
Windows 10 by default no longer lets users set their registered owner and organization information during installation. Instead, the operating system uses default information, such as your email address if you're using a Microsoft account, "user name" and "org name" when starting with a local account, or "Windows User" if you're installing an Insider preview build.
About Windows: Insider preview (left), Local account (middle), Microsoft account (right)
Typically, you'll only see this information on About Windows, but while there are still a lot of apps that look for these names to customize the experience on Windows 10, or your computer is part of an organization, it's a good idea to add the correct information.
In this Windows 10 guide, we'll walk you through the steps to change the registered owner and organization information on your PC using the Registry.

Outlook draft email can't be sent
I have a few draft emails in Outlook (in the drafts folder) on my up-to-date Lumia 650 and cannot figure out how to email them (they did not go through on first send attempt and were automatically sent to the draft folder; I was testing email on this new phone so much MS locked my account until I unfroze it. BTW you cannot get the unlock code you need to have messaged to your cell through using the email link via Edge on your phone, submit button does not work - had to do it from a pc! :eck:)
Anyway I tried moving the draft emails to the outbox as that seemed the only way offered to do it but that did not work (I could move them to other folders though). Anyone have a workaround?

How to set Edge Client Certificate Selector default
In Internet Explorer, there used to be an option you could select to have the browser not prompt the user if there was only 1, or 0, client certificates that matched what was being requested.
Is there any way in Edge to get the similar behavior? I do not want to be prompted with a client cert selector when visiting specific sites that require said client cert on edge, how do I achieve this? Is there an option I can set, some configuration/registry value, etc?
Thanks

My HTC Windows Phone running on 8.1 has suddenly deleted calendar entries more than three weeks old, although the entries are still there at Outlook.com, and in my tablet app. The only historical entries left are the ones which repeat into the future. Closing down the phone and starting it again has not triggered any syncing restoring process. Email syncing is working fine. Any suggestions on how to solve this please? DL, London UK.

Photoshop experience on i7 surface pro 4
I am very interested in using an i7 iris graphics model Surface Pro 4 with 16gb ram to run Photoshop however before I pull the trigger on purchasing I wanted to check in with other users and find out more about what their experience has been like. I have read many reviews both negative and positive (some reviewers seem better informed of specs/performance factors than others)-but I'd love to hear your thoughts on running photoshop on a high spec surface pro.
How well does stylus/touch input work for painting/drawing in photoshop? Are filters such as liquify or other filters incredibly slow or do these run decently? Do you have any experience working with the touch/stylus tools for collaging/compositing?
Any feedback you can share would be infinitely appreciated. If anyone has videos of them working or other examples I'd love to see these as well.
Thanks so much!

I was a fan of Client for Hangouts (I had the paid version), but recently I performed a reset on my phone and found I couldn't download it again. I emailed the company about 2 weeks ago and they said they're experiencing an issue with the Windows Store with no more details and that they're trying to resolve it as soon as possible. Seems odd that an issue would last this long (since I'm not sure when it started, it may have been longer than 2 weeks as well).
