Windows has no defined message id’s and descriptions located in a file that should be displayed when an OS error is encountered.
Instead some lame programmer issues their own messages on the fly. I’ve seen windows messages like, “You can’t do that”, or the “unexpected error” (as opposed to the expected error).
When you mistyped your password signing on to W10, it says something like “You can’t sign on now, Go to your Windows live account and...” If I can’t sign on how can you go to your account? How about “Invalid userid or password”.
Lol, that always bothered me too. But I think the worst for me is installing a Program/App that is made for windows yet it doesn’t work after installing it. Windows errors will not always tell you why. You have to go on a three day internet search investigation to find others who had the same issue and try six different cures until you “might” get it working.
I am now spoiled with Linux checking my system for any extra dependencies that are needed for an app before downloading and installing it, then going and also fetching those dependencies along with the app as one install procedure. It at least gives you a detailed error why and where the problem is if a program doesn’t work for some reason. That alone is HUGE.
