++ the manufacturing process of Microsoft Lumia mobile phones is discontinued, but many of them are still in action and competitive. In my opinion, the timing for their launch alongside the first versions of Windows 10 mobile has been a problem (later versions of Windows 10 mobile are more competitive). I compare the path of Microsoft Lumia phones with the path of Mercedes F1 Team. If you have perseverance, you can win, but you need to have realistic intermediary goals. You must not be number one from the start, but rather be on the field, with competitive, distinctive devices (1% market share can be achieved with the core fans of Microsoft Windows). 1% is not a small number of users & translates to even more when we focus on Windows users. So my question is for Microsoft & fans // is it possible to continue the manufacturing process of Microsoft Lumias for the fans of the brand & Windows ? // ++  #theWindowsthatneversleeps +

    ‎I understand everything, but you don't even get to play Minecraft‎. (Translated from Russian)

    Minecraft for Windows 10 Mobile had lost the ability to access, let alone sync, achievements from Windows Phones when the ability to send information from UWP apps to XBOX servers from those devices was lost in November 2020. That component was never repaired. As such, achievements from UWP apps were only unlockable from Windows 10 PCs. Now, with the May 16, 2022-shutdown of the ability to sync achievements from any game on Windows Phones, that is no longer possible. You can still play Minecraft for Windows 10 Mobile, but you will not unlock any achievements anymore.

    I spoke to Support about the sudden shutdown and the short 3-month notice but I have not heard from them yet. True, 1% may not be a small number but developers are looking at what average folks use these days. Just as an aside, we see new Android and iPhones coming out fairly often but to me, they are all doing pretty much the same thing. Just a few things here and there are different and that is it. OS-wise, there is nothing new really. Does anyone notice this also?

    ++ August 2022 update of encouraging news ++

    ++ the legacy MS Edge browser handles the MSN sites well & so all the apps such as MS News that rely on MSN sites are working well (for many weeks this was not the case)

    ++ there has been a huge update for one of the leading car games on Windows phones, the NITRO Nation Drag & Drift.

    ++ probably the best football game on Windows phones is the << SCORE: WORLD GOALS >> & Windows phone enthusiasts can find valuable soccer lessons

    ++ among the XBOX apps I use mainly the Wordament & the rankings are working ++

    ++ there are still many weather apps, dictionaries, map apps, news apps & games (e.g. SPARKLING SOCIETY titles) to use the 8GB/ 16 GB or 32 GB Windows phone basic storage.

    ++ it's possible to look after keywords like basketball, fitness & try to find legacy or even modern resources.
