The taskhost.exe is using 100% of the CPU power and when it's process is ended from the Task Manager nothing bad happens, the PC is still running fine. What triggers this supposedly legit file/process and leaves it behind exhausting the PC resources for nothing? Mobile.BuildTools is split into the following categories: Understanding your environment. After installing Mobile.BuildTools you will immediately have access to Build Properties that you can utilize in your own custom Build Tasks to determine information about both your Build Host and the Project MSBuild is about to compile.

The latest build of Windows 10 suggests Microsoft could be working on a new Windows 10 version or operating mode intended to shrink Windows 10’s footprint and possibly move the OS into new markets — including mobile. This new version of Windows is dubbed Windows 10 Lean, and its base install is 2GB smaller than Windows 10’s typical footprint.

Over the last few years, Microsoft has made several attempts to launch into new product markets, with poor results. First, there was Windows 10 Mobile, which was intended to shrink the gap between desktop and mobile operating systems to the point that you could seamlessly transfer work from one OS or device to the other. Last year, MS announced Windows 10 S — a locked-down version of mainstream Windows 10 intended for education markets or as a secure device alternative for people who often find themselves plagued with malware. Windows 10 Mobile died when Redmond decided to withdraw from the phone market, while Windows 10 S will now be offered as an optional mode rather than a stand-alone product. So where does Windows 10 Lean fit in?

According to Twitter user Lucan, who spotted the OS variant, Windows 10 Lean (also referred to as Windows 10 CloudE), lacks certain capabilities. RegEdit, the registry editing program, is missing and so is the Microsoft Management Console. There are no wallpapers in Windows 10 Lean, but functions like CMD and Reg work perfectly — which means the OS variant isn’t subject to the same lockdown as a typical Windows 10 S installation. And as Ars Technica notes, the latest build of Windows 10 contains support for the telephony APIs required to support cell phone operations. That’s significant because those APIs aren’t included in the base Windows 10 installation — they’re used in Windows 10 Mobile, but not included in the standard OS builds.

Does all of this mean Microsoft is planning to re-enter the phone business? I’m still dubious. On the one hand, Windows 10 Mobile was, by all accounts, a better operating system than it got credit for. I’ve always felt as if the first iteration of Windows Mobile never deserved its market share, while the later iterations of Microsoft’s mobile operating systems (Windows Phone and Windows 10 Mobile) were unfairly tarred with a worse reputation than they deserved. The platform still has some die-hard fans that would love to see Microsoft launch a top-tier phone.

But Microsoft’s CEO, Satya Nadella, hasn’t left much reason to be hopeful on this front. As far as we can tell, the Windows 10 Mobile team has been dismantled and Microsoft has stopped manufacturing devices. And therein lies the problem. Microsoft fought for years to build support for Windows Phone in the face of Android and iOS. It partnered with other companies to build competitive flagship devices, and when that strategy didn’t seem to be working, it pivoted towards lower-end devices at affordable price points. Some of these devices reviewed quite well, with reviewers noting that they offered much snappier performance on lower-end hardware than what you’d expect from the same SoC’s running Android. Neither strategy helped Microsoft build market share and the company eventually quit.

But having dropped out of the market altogether, it would be an even heavier lift for Microsoft to start over. Whatever Microsoft is building, we’d be surprised if it was just a conventional phone.

Recently here at Windows Phone Central we've received a few help requests through our app from users whose live tiles all appear to have stopped updating, including our own. Previously there have been bugs in our app that would cause its tile to fail, but when all live tiles on a device that rely on Background tasks get stuck, there's a bigger problem.

Up until this point I have been unable to reproduce the issue myself so I've been struggling to assist those of you asking us for a solution. In a stroke of luck though my Lumia 800's tiles recently stopped updating at all (excluding those updated through push notifications), and after a simple restart of the phone didn't help I have a solution to share with you all.

It seems there is a bug in Windows Phone which silently disables all of your background tasks, leaving them in a state where the phone's settings screen believes they're all still active. This wouldn't normally be a problem as most developers have figured out that the safest bet is to re-register any background tasks each time an app is started to work around the rather temperamental task scheduler on the operating system.

Luckily, whilst the fix is a bit of a pain, it is simple to perform.

• Open your phone's setting screen and chose 'background tasks'
• Tap on each of the apps which report that tasks are 'on', and tap the 'turn off' button
• You should have all of the apps on your phone now with background tasks off
• Edit: Restart your phone! I've had this issue now with WP8 and a restart at this point was needed
• Now tap through each one that you want enabled, and tap the checkbox allowing them to be re-enabled
• Go back to start and launch each of the apps, allowing a couple of seconds for them to register their tasks

For those of you who prefer information at a glance, I've visualized the steps below.

These steps appear to fix the problem, although I cannot guarantee for how long. I've confirmed that this affects multiple apps (the excellent BBC News Mobile and Weather Flow to name just two high quality apps) so I hope that someone in Microsoft is aware of the issue and will ensure this will be fixed in a future update.
