  1. Default search engine changes to Bing automatically

    The default search engine switches to Bing automatically even though I have it set to Google. I do not want to use Bing. Stop shoving it down my throat, please.

  6. Bing picture not sized correct

    Hello,
    I choose the Bing daily picture for my background picture.
    Mh phone (huawei p30) has a resolution of 1560x720.
    Since 3 months (before it was OK) now the picture is zoomed and not shown properly.
    Can you add an option to resample the picture in order to fit it well to the screen?
    Thanks

    PLEASE KEEPTimeline
    in the Feed Widget

    REMOVING Timeline DOWNGRADES Microsoft Launcher and KILLS a Primary Workflow Attraction from the Microsoft/PC to Android to PC/Edge "Continue on PC"/Microsoft Account "Sync" with Timeline Sync between Android to PC to Android and back again round trip Workflow/Your Phone & Your Phone Companion "Link" Workflow...

    It BREAKS a MAJOR Continuity Feature in the Microsoft Android to Microsoft PC Workflow Ecosystem, and BREAKS the "replacement" workarounds to "Universal Windows Platform" (with Android as the "Phone" component).

    I urge you to "fix" the "bug" that is the Anti-User (stupid) decision…

  11. Android-10 gesture mode doesn't work with the launcher

    Use a device with android 10 (pixel or nokia 9)
    Go to settings - > sytem - > gestures and select gesture mode.
    Set now the Microsoft Launcher as default Launcher

    Expected:
    I still can use Gesture to navigate around

    Actual:
    Android switch the navigation mode back to the bottom bar navigation

  18. Home screen icon size stuck on smallest

    Perhaps 95% of the time the icon size slider can't be moved off smallest
    This is on a Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e.
    Setting row or column count to any number makes no difference. My preferred counts are 5x5.
    Portrait or landscape mode makes no difference either.
    Occasionally, restarting the tablet fixes the issue.
