Dang, awkward indeed. C'mon Microsoft, you're better than that.

I haven’t installed the Windows 10 #2004 update on my computer at home. There’s a chance we may see it replaced by a newer version in about a month that fixes the problems listed here.

I have held off installing the new version of the Microsoft Edge browser.

Has anyone on this thread tried it yet?

Comments or criticism?

Thank you!

“Carefully crafted and “Microsoft” do not belong on the same continent, let alone in the same sentence.

No they can't do better than that - because that aren't better then that - Microsoft is terrible technologically and how it treats its releases - its piles of technical debt - on top of itself. Like the registry but I digress.

Even Visual Studio is a bloated cow that blows goats.

Literally the post right after this Is about Professor Niel Furgusen, it was his model and software used to guide U.K's decision to go into lockdown

What does this have to do with window's and their inability to write anything that isn't shit?

Go read that code Professor Ferguson wrote, the simulator. Its absolute garbage one terrible coding practice, its a total mess you'd expect by a precinct 3rd grader who has gotten into programming all on his own. Its like someone who has never written a line of code decided I'm going to write this large multiprocessor simulator, then over time assigned his minions who were even worse programmers then himself to add to it.

Even retarded Bill Gates should have been able to look at this code and realize there is no way this program is safe to use - but he didn't. He never does, that whole attitude of let the customers find the bugs has permeated every level of Microsoft over the 40 some years they've been operating.

Quality is release next

Bill Gates is a Mr. Magoo menance to society with a god complex. His company makes shitty software and has for decades -why would anyone expect it to change, in 40 years they haven't been about to figure out how to write a filesystem - at this point it's laughable, especially when you look at what is freely available - and its way better, especially when your IT department is in India.

I downloaded 2004 a few days ago - no problem although t took quite a long time compared to other “feature” updates.

I immediately noticed it was LESS memory intensive and Edge(Chromium) was running faster and more efficient.

There are some great buys at Dell refurbished laptops these days. I bought one of these and moded with more mem and an m2 slot/ pcie/nvme drive that gives amazing speeds of 2400/1800 on read/write as tested on crystal disk. Leaving the 1TB conventional hard drive in place to function as storage. The nvme drive is the Windows ops drive.

Look for this one that comes and goes. It was here earlier today and I bought one to sell on ebay after I upgrade it. It goes for $282 before taxes. FULL HD! (not IPS)

This is written with so much snark and disdain that it is more like CNN than a real report.

It is sad that so many need to piss on competitors because they are fanboys of something else.

No network port. You have to have an adapter.
Microsoft thinks wireless is everywhere but if you cannot connect then a network cable is needed. You have to BUY an adapter for about $35 <- now you know the real reason.
The company I am at gave up on the Surface Pro. They are glued together so no repair, just a replacement. $$$
Always had issues with wifi.

Panos Panay seems to have been a little more preoccupied with creating vaguely toe-curling product launch videos

Haha, so true! But remove "vaguely" and it's more accurate.

No they’re not. They haven’t been since Win-7 Pro x64. Everything beyond that has been garbage.

I have both a Pro 7 and a Laptop 3. No problems at all with the recent updates.

The problem with articles like this is they only talk about the scope and never the REACH. Yes, some system are affected, but hardly all, only a small minority of them.

Why is this?

It could be hardware. It could be software. It could be configuration.

But who am I kidding?

I can’t stop the crying from the “hate Microsoft” crowd, so believe what you all will.

can anyone translate any of this into plain english, presuming it is not a satire (sorry to miss the humor if it is)?

at this moment windows installer is overwhelming my disk i/o. it also appears to be monkeying around with my registry (without telling me about it, or telling me about the installer) (of course?)

my applications are grinding to a halt, my internet is getting spotty, i cant watch any videos on chrome (including a radio broadcast over youtube), and my touchpad is going haywire... maybe i’ll unintentionally start sending porn links to my family and friends... courtesy of windows installer and input driver bugs... sure, why not... viva windows10 and the neverending upcoming next bug fix release to end all bug fix releases!

:-(
