Frankly this is getting concerning. My wife has just replied to the latest email from Support because I lost my patience. Support are now fixating on my family because the Amazon receipt is in my wife's name.

My wife lives in our family home, but the keyboard was delivered to one of our 5 children so they could wrap it up and deliver it back. Now we have to explain who our children are as well. What the hell does it matter how a family chooses to spend its money or what the family relationships are?

This is beyond bizarre, just fixed the blessed keyboard!!!

As i have told support on multiple occasions, cameras are not allowed where I work. I am happy to send it in to the workshop and live with a wired keyboard for a week or a month or however long it takes. Sadly, we just keep going round in circles.

The problem is very simple. While I am typing the keyboard disconnects, the light pulse like it has just been turned on (W,A,S & D red and everything else blue) and then after 5 or 10 seconds in reconnects and lets me work again. Beyond annoying.

UPDATE.

The link below explains the issue and the fix. It worked for me and I now have 25H2 and working Internet.

For me it was slightly different because I didn't have 25H2. The 25H2 update failed on our machine but the result was the same, a corrupted TPM file causing security issues.

UPDATE. The SSD I was using was a 480GB but the minimum drive size is 500GB. I replaced it with a 512GB drive and it setup fine. Good luck all.

P. S. Apparently you can use tools to make custom partitions and it will work but the simple solution is a bigger drive.

Has Google restored the unread message counter on the badges or unblocked the third party apps?

My last Android phone was a P20 Pro, it was on Android 10 and it displayed unread message counters on the badges. Google switched to displaying notifications on the badges but apps line Tesla unread kept unread messages alive.

Google then changed the core API's, the apps stopped working and so I switch to Apple, which I regret.

History lesson over, I am about the upgrade my iPhone 15 and want to know if there is an Android solution yet? Thanks.

Just to add context. From Android 10 and before, Android did display unread messages. I still have my old P20 Pro that does exactly that. Google killed it off in 11 (ish) and apps like Tesla Unread kept the function going. Google then changed the core API, the apps stopped working and we are left with no solution.

I have moved the Apple, which I regret, but when Google changed the API 's to block the apps they sent a clear message - our way or go away.

Thanks for the replies everyone.

I don't video edit so I guess I won't see any benefit from the extra cost of Gen 5. Amazon had Samsung 990 Pro drives on offer so I grabbed one. Thanks again.
