  1. Backup

    Cloud storage backup fails. Does the backup fail when I lock the home screen? I'm not sure.

  2. Restore previous settings stuck in loop

    With the latest update, if I choose to restore previous settings it then gets stuck in a setup loop. After downloading the backup, it restarts initial setup and continues looping until I select 'Customize' screen instead of 'Restore'

  13. Progressive web apps installed with Edge or Chrome do not restore via restore function.

    Restore function doesn't restore PWA apps on the home screen. Links do shoe up but they are not functional.
