That can be Windows 8 for you. The whole idea of that start screen is that most people only use a couple of applications most of the time, put those apps as tile on the screen and they’re right there for you easy to get to no having to find them. Your e-mail app tile can even be pinging the server so the tile will tell you when there’s new mail and you can ignore it until then.
Where do I get Linux?
I’m still using XP and will until it crashes.
I wad helping my daughter do a school project on her new computer. It has windows 8.
She was using the sound recorder to record a narration. All i wanted to do was know where the recorded files were, so we could copy them and use them elsewhere.
Guess what? It gives you no indication where it is storing files AND it makes your recorded files hidden. So you can’t even find the files by searching.
I am an engineer. I don’t need my operating system to hide stuff and limit me because it wants to protect the computer from the user.
