    <h2 class="faq-h2">Setting up Raspberry Pi</h2>
    <p><em>Why does my screen appear cropped or stretched?</em></p>
    <p>This can happen on some monitors.   To work around this force the board into DVI mode (vs. HDMI mode).  You can read more about this <a href='https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=5851'>here</a>. Mount the SD card to a local PC and proceed to edit the file in the EFIESP partition. For example if the partition is mark as H drive, edit H:\config.txt by adding the following line.<br/><br/>
    hdmi_group=2                # forces DVI timing to be used
    <p><em>Can I set up a Raspberry Pi 2 using Windows 8.1?</em></p>
    <p>You will need Windows 10 on your PC to be able to set up Raspberry Pi 2 running Windows 10 IoT Core.</p>
	<p><em>Why does my SD card have to be 8gb, do you really need all that space?</em></p>
    <p>The IoT Core image is under 1gb, the 8gb is meant to give you space to install additional content on your device.</p>

    <h2 class="faq-h2">UAP Apps</h2>
    <p><em>Are true console apps supported on Windows 10 IoT Core?</em></p>
    <p>True “console” apps aren’t really going to be supported for the IoT core OS, headless or not. You can still deploy and run a standard win32 console app here, it just won’t be connected to any on-device console. When running headless you should just get that black screen. When running headed the only supported UI is via the UWP UI stacks (XAML, HTML, DirectX).</p>

    <p><em>Is WiFi supported on Windows 10 IoT Core?</em></p>
    <p>We are in the process of getting WiFi ready, but it is not in the build that is currently publicly available.</p>
    <br />
    <p><em>Is Bluetooth currently supported on Windows 10 IoT Core?</em></p>
    <p>We are in the process of getting Bluetooth ready, but it is not in the build that is currently publicly available.</p>

    <h2 class="faq-h2">Intel Galileo</h2>
    <p><em>Can I run Windows 10 IoT Core on the Intel Galileo Gen 1 or Gen 2 board?</em></p>
    <p>We have no plans to bring Windows 10 to the Intel Galileo board at this time. </p>
    <br />
    <p><em>Will you continue to support the Windows Developer Program for IoT for Galileo?</em></p>
    <p>We’ve been overwhelmed by the interest in our Windows 8.1 based program and appreciate all the incredible feedback the community has provided. While there will be no new feature development for the Galileo release we will continue to support this release for as long as significant community activity exists.</p>

    <h2 class="faq-h2">Errors</h2>
    <p><em>I’ve downloaded the RPi2.ffu image and tried to apply image from the administrator prompt using this command:<br />dism.exe /Apply-Image /ImageFile:Rpi2.ffu /ApplyDrive:\\.\PhysicalDrive1 /SkipPlatformCheck<br />I am getting the following error:<br />c:\Temp>dism.exe /Apply-Image /ImageFile:Rpi2.ffu /ApplyDrive:\\.\PhysicalDrive1  /SkipPlatformCheck<br /><br />
Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool<br />
Version: 6.3.9600.17031<br /><br />
Error: 87<br /><br />
The /applydrive option is not recognized in this context.<br />
For more information, refer to the help.<br />
</em></p>
    <p>You need to use DISM on Windows 10 and not Windows 8.1.</p>
    <br />
    <p><em>I want to move files from a host computer onto the RP2 via the remote power shell session. I’ve tried making a shared folder on my host computer (allow access to “everyone”), but the RP2 remote session fails with what seems to be an access denied error when I try to copy from the host shared folder. Has anyone done this successfully or have a good suggestion for how to do this?</em></p>
    <p>If you're just trying to copy files across and not doing this as part of some PowerShell script you're authoring, you can do it without PowerShell. You can try accessing your RPi2 from your local PC with "\\<IP>\c$" and see if that works for your scenario. If you can't do that, you do have access issues.</p>

    <p><em>My C++ or Python Background Application is building and deploying successfully, but hangs indefinitely after launching.  How do I resolve this?</em></p>
    <p>There is a known issue being actively investigated that sporadically occurs on some SD cards.  This can be worked around using the following command via a PowerShell session with the device:
    <div><b>reg add "hklm\software\microsoft\visualstudio\debugger" /v EmulateExclusiveBreakpoints /t REG_DWORD /d 0</b></div>        </p>
