Amazing Lock Screen + Windows 8.1
When the Windows 8.1 Preview came out a few weeks ago, I was in no place to test it because I needed my machine stable for a bunch of conferences I was speaking at. However, that didn’t stop a lot of amazing users of the Amazing Lock Screen app from trying it out—and finding that it did not work!
Since then, I’ve gotten VS 2013 and Windows 8.1 and started digging into the issue, which has confused me for days on end. But yesterday, I found out that Microsoft has acknowledged a bug in lock screens with Windows 8.1. This bug directly breaks Amazing Lock Screen’s ability to change the lock screen.
Unfortunately, until Microsoft issues a patch or the RTM comes out, there’s very little I can do to correct the issue. This bug is not stopping development on Amazing Lock Screen, though—the next release will be the biggest in a long time, with a couple of brand-new features!
In summary: There’s a bug in the OS, Microsoft will fix it, the app is still being worked on, is not forgotten, and will work on Windows 8.1 in the near future!
