Tens of users inconvenienced
Microsoft has thrown gasoline on its quality-assurance dumpster fire by disabling the Mail and Calendar apps on some of its Lumia Windows 10 Phone devices.
The app hobbling, an awkward second act to Thurday’s unplanned downgrade of Windows 10 Pro, appears to be the consequence of what Microsoft charitably calls an update, issued earlier this week.
A Register reader wrote to alert us to the sorry state of affairs. “Microsoft issued an automatic app upgrade for the email client on Windows Phone 10 overnight on 7th/8th November,” the reader said.
“We all woke up yesterday morning to find that email is no longer working on the phones. Some of us have reasons to stick with Windows Phone – though not ones we shout about, as we’re all a little bit embarrassed – and we rely on our phones for our email as much as the next Apple/Android fanatic.
