Another problem has popped up with the Fall Creators Update, with affected upgraders finding that some of their apps are disappearing from menus in Windows 10. Those hit with the issue have found that the icons to launch some apps have gone missing from the Start menu, and neither are they to be found on the operating system’s list of installed apps. You can verify the latter because the Microsoft Store (formerly Windows Store) will indeed confirm they are installed, and you can launch the apps

We’re not done with 2017 flagships just yet, because HTC is rumored to be about to unveil the HTC U11 Plus – that’s the follow up to the HTC U11 that launched earlier in the year. A press event is scheduled for November 2, although there’s some debate about whether or not we’ll see the Plus then. In the meantime, there’s serial leakster Evan Blass, who posted a host of HTC U11 Plus specs on Twitter over the weekend. While Blass did include a link to the HTC event on November 2 in his specs list,

Looking for the best mining GPU for earning Bitcoin, Ethereum and more? Many cryptocurrencies, such as Ethereum, use memory hard hashing techniques, and therefore a PC with a decent GPU with a good amount of graphics memory is required. So, that’s why we’ve created this list of the best mining GPUs, as not only have we looked into the specific requirements a mining graphics card needs, but we’ve also included our Hawk price comparison technology to bring you the very best prices. There are also

2017 was the year when bezels were out and big screens were in – could 2018 be the year when everyone brings out a foldable phone? The company’s CEO Richard Yu told CNET that Huawei already has a “working sample” that it’s working on refining. Yu says Huawei could launch its first foldable phone next year, but the timeline isn’t set yet. Foldable technology could be just the hardware innovation that handset makers have been looking for. It’s certainly a massive engineering challenge to get this

Right now there’s a lot of uncertainty about what OnePlus has planned for a successor to the OnePlus 5 – stocks of that phone are very low, so does that mean we’re going to see a OnePlus 5T soon? After all, OnePlus has done the minor upgrade trick before, with the OnePlus 3T bump last year. Well, here’s another little clue that the OnePlus 5T is on the way: renders of the phone leaked to Chinese social network Weibo and posted by GizmoChina, an outlet that seems convinced that we are indeed goin

There’s the standard Google Home speaker, and then there’s the compact Google Home Mini, and then there’s the powerful, high-end Google Home Max – could Google also be working on a Google Home with a screen to rival the Amazon Echo Show? Apparently so, according to bits of code found in the new Google app by the ever-diligent Android Police. Back then the screen was said to be 7 inches in size, just like the Echo Show from Amazon. As interesting as the new sections of code are, they’re not yet c

A VPN, or Virtual Private Network, is a remarkably useful tool for anyone who goes online. Public Wi-Fi securityMany places offer free Wi-Fi access, including schools, hotels, libraries, airports and coffee shops to name a few. Unfortunately, it is not particularly difficult to intercept this wireless network traffic. A VPN with servers located in the appropriate country can solve the issue, and consider these locations based on anticipated usage when choosing a VPN provider. With a VPN, the tra

Should you successfully find a bug in a qualifying app on Google Play, Google will pay you nifty $1,000 for your efforts. Google is partnering with bug bounty service HackerOne for the project, which it calls the Google Play Security Reward Program . The worldwide program currently only applies to eight popular apps such as Duolingo, Snapchat, Tinder, Headspace and Alibaba, although Google’s own suite of apps for Android qualify as well. At the moment, Google is only interested in finding flaws

Taking advantage of its reputation as one of the best places for new musical artists to win fame, Spotify has announced it will help promote emerging artists directly with a new program called RISE . Delta Airlines is even in on the action, and it will soon start showing RISE artists in spotlight shorts on the backs of airplane seats. There’s Lauv, for instance, who already ranks as one of Spotify’s most popular artists, and German pop singer Kim Petras already has a massive following. Last, but

Much of the appeal of the Nintendo Switch is that it’s a game console you can easily liberate from its wires and take with you wherever you may roam. As some enterprising and experimentally minded folks over at Reddit recently discovered , the Switch now supports wireless USB headphones in both the Switch’s docked and undocked modes as of yesterday’s 4.0.0 firmware update. It also doesn’t seem to work with all USB wireless headsets, although multiple users confirm the PlayStation Gold and Platin

The ISO setting on your camera controls the sensor’s sensitivity to light. ISO and noiseBut increasing the ISO setting has a downside. ISO settings follow a fixed set of values, each one offering twice the sensitivity of the one before. Shutter speed is especially important if your subject is moving, because you’ll need even faster shutter speeds to prevent blur. On Nikon DSLRs, for example, the Auto ISO mode can check the focal length of the lens being used, and increase the ISO setting by just

There was a lot of love for the new Nokia 3310 last year, but none of that came from the US, where the 2.5G phone didn’t work on American networks. Enter the Nokia 3310 3G. That’s great news if you want a long-lasting, durable phone that doesn’t cost a lot and, maybe most importantly, plays Snake 2 on its 2.4-inch color screen. Nokia 3310 3G price in the US is $59.99, which is cheaper than any Android phone you’ll find on sale, outside of a few Amazon Prime phone deals. Note: the Nokia 3310 3G b

Razer has made some of the best peripherals for streaming gamers, and now it’s introducing the world’s first webcam with its own built-in lighting: the Razer Kiyo. The gaming hardware maker claims the Kiyo is the world’s first desktop camera equipped with an adjustable ring light to provide professional grade lighting without any additional accessories. The ring light offers 12 levels of brightness for a wide range of illumination. Shock and aweRazer has also introduced a new Razer Seiren X, a p

While gaming makes for a great solo hobby, there are some titles that are actually improved by playing with someone else. Whether you’re teaming up to take down zombies, or solve puzzles or square up to another team of real-life gamers, co-op games are a great opportunity to create some lasting memories. The best thing about co-op play these days is that more often than not you have the choice between local and co-op play. Getting all your friends gathered round the one TV is great, but if that’

I know I’m missing out on some really great things by eschewing large chunks of a highly influential genre but I just really don’t like being scared. Picture perfectThere is one horror game, though, that has stuck in my mind for around 16 years, for good and bad, and that’s Project Zero (or Fatal Frame if you’re going to be all North American about it). Trust me, if I’d known what Project Zero actually was I probably wouldn’t ever have played it in the first place. Project Zero is a game that ma

If you’re hoping to snap up an iPhone X there’s good news and bad news. And Kuo has also cut his shipment estimates for the fourth quarter down from 30-35 million to 25-30 million. In other words, if you want any chance of getting an iPhone X on its November 3 release date you should try and get your order in the second pre-orders open on October 27. However, with production problems supposedly mostly sorted the only hold-up now is apparently in certain suppliers ramping up capacity and churning

It’s insane how people don’t think to change their service plans, whether it’s gas, electricity or their mobile phone. And it probably shouldn’t be a shock to me any more, but I’m still astounded that people are still giving their money to a network for nothing. So many people are effectively walking into the local high street store for their mobile phone provider, plopping £20 on the counter, and walking out. – If you don’t want to get a new phone, set a reminder on a calendar when your contrac

Apple has plans for a new Mac mini and it’s an important device for the company, according to a response a customer received from Tim Cook (the chief executive has been known to reply to customer mails from time to time, as Steve Jobs used to). As MacRumors reports, one of its readers, Krar, emailed Cook to say: “I love the Mac mini but it’s been over three years now without an update. Are we going to see anything in pipeline anytime soon?”Cook’s response was: “I’m glad you love Mac mini. Our cu

Which makes the latest PlayStation VR bundles so exciting. While stocks last between October 18 and October 31, Sony will be offering up a new PlayStation VR ‘Starter Pack’ that not only includes the PlayStation camera, VR headset and introductory VR Worlds game, but a free copy of Gran Turismo Sport too, all for £349.99.
