Gustave Monce, the hacker developer behind Microsoft’s Lumia 950 and Lumia 950XL flashing Windows 10 ARM, has released upgraded images and new device driver packages, bringing some bug fixes and improvements. Developer Gustave Monce said this is their most stable version to date.
Starting in 2018, with the help of developers, the Windows 10 ARM system has been ported to Lumia 950 and Lumia 950 XL, which are the last two flagship mobile phone models released by Microsoft. Lumia 950 and Lumia 950 XL are the only two phones that can run Windows 10 ARM smoothly.
However, the Windows 10X mirror upgrade version is not included in this version, but it may be released in the future.

Known Issues
- The mirroring of Lumia 950 and Lumia 950 XL has the following known issues, some of which may be caused by Windows 10 or Windows 10X itself.
- In some cases, Lumia 950 may not restart normally. Shut down the device by other means (developer menu/Flash application and THOR2). This happens during the setup process and the device will display a black screen.
- The camera is not available.
- The Windows Hello iris scanner is not available.
- Hyper-V is not available.
- The SD card is not available for booting.
- Battery life decreased.
- The GPS stack does not use any sensors for navigation.
- Miracast does not work on many wireless devices, but it works fine on Xbox and Windows 10 computers.
- In the version lower than or equal to Build 20100, the acrylic effect of graphics failure can be observed.
- Graphical glitches can be observed in the shadows.
- If the device is plugged in for the second time, MTP may fail to start. To solve this problem, stop NcsdService through the task manager.
- Dual card devices do not support cellular networks, so don’t expect cellular networks to work properly.
- DirectX is not available for x86 and amd64 applications.
- The microphone level under the setting stays at 50%.
- On some devices, if all cores are enabled, the phone may not start reliably or restart randomly when the battery power is below 50%. As a workaround, you can run “bcdedit /set numproc 4” to disable the second core cluster.
- No VoLTE.
- No VoWiFi.
- No cellular data sharing.
- In versions higher than Build 18908, the phone needs to be manually configured by the user.
- In versions higher than Build 18908, text messages are not available. Some users may not be able to send SMS in Build 18908 and below. To solve this problem, please open the registration program device on the device, enter HKLM\SOFTWARE\MicrosoftMessaging\IMEISpecific (or IMSISpecific), right-click to enter the security page. Click Advanced, click Change Owner, in the dialog box that opens, enter “Everyone” (without the quotation marks), and click Check Name. Press OK, press OK. Click on all application packages, select “Full Control”, and do the same for the other listed accounts (optional). Apply and close regedit.
- Some users may need to specify an APN for cellular data to work.
- Inversions lower than Build 17672, the cellular network is not available.
- Some drivers, mainly sensors, will not work on RS3 (Build 16299).
- The current question about browsing the screen.
- When the overview screen times out after a specified time, it is possible that the screen will not close. This still needs to be investigated, but the problem can only be two things.
- -Either the device is separated from the S0ix and sleeps at a lower level, because for example, the WIFI is not connected, and the result overview service cannot take action, which is a problem.
- -Or, the overview service is trying to clear the screen (there is a specific panel driver command to do so), which is unsuccessful for some reason.
- This specific problem may take some time to fully resolve.
The following status notifications are not implemented in the port/no feature in the package library
- Battery protection indicator
- Ring tone indication (vibration, mute).
- Alarm indication
- Detailed text message
- Notification logo
The following functions are not implemented
- Single-click wake-up overview
