I used to have a really nice easy to use desktop. but then they upgraded me and my desktop is these big blocky things that are for stuff I have no interest in to get to the things I do use I have to go through a bunch of BS.
To top things off they screwed up my DVD player program. Now it’s all jerky and hangs up and won’t play some of my HBO discs.
I am just SO HAPPY!
Classic Shell hides all that shite - I never see it. A free program called “Everything” indexes and will instantly find everything on my PC. GFY Microsoft.
So my decision to ride System 7 into the sunset was a good one?
Some users claim is not the same as straight up saying it is broke.
I’d wait and see.
I usually postphone updates for up to 35 days for that reason, among others.
But its fix has nixed SearchUI.exe for some
Something I have found hard to do! I use agent Ransack instead.
The day after that atrocious update my printer would not work, and then my computer displayed an error with RTVKVHD64.sys
And that it had to restart. After that a whole bunch of programs didn’t work right. I was going to roll it back, but after several reboots then things mostly returned to normal... As far as I know.
Windows 10 is a complete sh*t show.
One step forward, one step back...one step forward, one step back...and now we’re cha-cha-ing...
Is this something new? And why does Microsoft continue to set the default privacy to "unzip my fly and wave it in the wind"? I had to search the web and then go in and crank up my privacy settings yet again.
I am very glad my home computing needs are relatively simple. Linux, while not without it’s own issues, is far more stable. I can’t remember the last time it failed to do what I needed it to do, or when an update trashed something. Years, maybe a decade? Seriously, download a “live” iso image of something like Linux Mint or MX Linux, load it on a thumb drive and take it for a spin. If it works well for your needs, you’ll probably be much happier with it than windows.
Oh well, it works now.
In nostalgic move, Microsoft brings back PowerToys for Windows 10
At the dawn of the Internet era, developers on the Windows Shell team created some nifty utilities and shared them with power users in the Windows community. A quarter-century later, PowerToys are back, and this time they're open source.
The Windows 10 reboot, now available at GitHub as version 0.11.0, so far includes only two actual utilities, but another four are on deck (see the PowerToys Backlog at GitHub) and another 10 are under active consideration. https://www.zdnet.com/article/in-nostalgic-move-microsoft-brings-back-powertoys-for-windows-10/
It’s starting to get real hard to not think they do this on purpose Dayglored. A whole lot of new computers installed with windows will be sold because of this. Non techy folks just toss them and get a new one rather than fix it.
I have “updates” TURNED OFF but something just freaking updated.
OMG I detest this thing.
I wish my good, sane Win7 Ultra laptop had not gone toes up
HATE 10.
Like math, programming can be very hard and complex.
Yep, it killed my desktop search, and I use that feature all the time. Annoying as hell not to have it.
Thanks (I think) to the latest WIN10 update, my HP wireless laserjet printer is no longer wireless.
I DESPISE Microsoft, but am not computer savvy enough to install Linux. I’m sure I’d set the computer on fire if I tried.
GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR...
