    Hi All,

    We encourage you to submit can't update definitions in the Feedback Hub.  You can either vote on an existing submission or submit a new one. When you submit a feedback item, we gather additional details and information about your issue that will help determine what’s causing it and address it. Feedback items regularly receive Microsoft responses on the submissions in the Feedback app so you can see what we are doing about your feedback. Please revisit frequently to see the status of your feedback items.

    For more information onFeedback Hub, see our support articleand YouTube video. 

    In order to submit new feedback, please follow these steps:

    1.      On a Windows 10 device, search for “Feedback Hub” in Cortana search, then launch the app.

    2.      Navigate to Feedback in the left menu, then press + Add new feedback.

    3.      Select the Problem, and share any details you think are relevant, and choose an appropriate category and subcategory.

    4.      Important: If possible, reproduce the problem(s) after clicking Begin monitoring (or Start capture) near the end of the form; Stop monitoring when you’re done.

    5.      Once you’ve completed the form and monitoring, click Submit.

    6.      Click  Continue using Feedback Hub.

    7.      Click My Feedback at the top, then find the item you submitted (it may take a while to appear).

    8.      Open the item you submitted, then click  Share.

    9.      Click Copy link, then paste the link in your response (it will look like https://aka.ms/<uniquelink>)

    EDIT 11/13/17 - We are unlocking this thread to allow users to supply us with their Feedback hub links and will re-lock the thread when we have those replies.
