Happy New Year everyone and best wishes for 2016! This week on tech didn’t have major announcements, but a few things happened. For starters, Microsoft revealed its second week of the Xbox Countdown sale with a great list of discounted games for Xbox One and Xbox 360 – deals that will be available until January 7.
In addition, Xbox One and Xbox 360 owners can now begin downloading their January free games through the Games with Gold program. Currently Xbox Live Gold members can download Killer Instinct: Season 1 Ultra Edition on Xbox One and DiRT Showdown on Xbox 360.
Also, on related news, a new rumor surfaced recently on Microsoft plans to build a new slimmer version of its Xbox One to compete with the Apple TV. According to sources, the new device won’t be as powerful as the current Xbox One console, instead it will be an entertainment hub that may only play Windows Store games and apps for content consumption.
This week I also added a number of guides to help you set Cortana on your Android phone to get missed call notifications and send SMS texts from your Windows 10 PC.
We also looked at different solutions to fix the Microsoft Band sync and Bluetooth issues.
You also learned the steps to uninstall Windows updates and drivers that may be causing problems and how to stop Windows 10 from reinstalling them, now that updates are automatic.
Finally, this week, I detailed everything you need to know to postpone Windows 10 updates and upgrades up to 12 months.
