  1. Microsoft breaks Fresh start on Windows 10 May 2020 Update

    Microsoft knew about this yet shipped the update anyway without listing it as a known issue. Honestly, do those in charge of W10 updates even care any more. In what world is this behaviour acceptable.

  2. Microsoft breaks Fresh start on Windows 10 May 2020 Update

    What's the point of the Windows Insider feedback if Microsoft ignores it all??? This isn't the first time and it's getting old and annoying now. Microsoft is missing the entire point of the insider program by not listening to peoples reports ...

  3. Lenovo Chromebook Duet review: A Surface Go killer

    “Honestly, most of the same applies to Windows 10's tablet mode, although Windows does have an annoying popup asking if you want to enter tablet mode, rather than just doing it like on Chrome OS.” Honestly, that popup has a drop down menu right in it where you can tell it to never ask again and “just do it”.

    This game always looks great, but damn dude, just release the thing. You can only polish something for so long before it starts wearing too thin...

  5. Microsoft breaks Fresh start on Windows 10 May 2020 Update

    I had never known about this feature, probably because they buried it in such a non-obvious location. Maybe they were planning on adding it to the options under Recovery (where it arguably SHOULD BE) and simply forgot to make the new link.

    It's not a Surface Go "Killer" because it can't even run Windows 10.

  9. Microsoft breaks Fresh start on Windows 10 May 2020 Update

    I honestly don't know where they are going wrong. It's just one disaster after another with updates. How on earth does it take longer to factory reset a PC over a manual installation? I can install windows in about 10 minutes, yet my surface laptop 2 took about two hours to reset. Something is very wrong.

  10. Microsoft breaks Fresh start on Windows 10 May 2020 Update

    Is there *any* OS update without any issue? That’s a unicorn. I find it most amusing that many were blaming Dona Sarkar for the poor performance of the Insider program and in turn the GA releases that would be signed off on...yet here we are, in the same place without her. Probably something not attributable to any one scapegoat in particular, but a specific working culture instead.

    Microsoft does not care anymore, most especially about the WIndows-10 mess. They are into "other things."

  16. Microsoft breaks Fresh start on Windows 10 May 2020 Update

    This is what I thought, is it any different? At the end of the article: “Do note that reset is not the perfect replacement for Fresh start as it will install all the OEM bloatware after resetting the PC“

  21. Microsoft restores ability to upload custom Xbox Live gamerpics

    I really don't get how increased usage due to the lockdown made them shut off something as simple as uploading a picture to your profile. That can't possibly make that much of an impact on their bandwidth requirements. Is there some other aspect of this that I'm not understanding?

  23. Microsoft breaks Fresh start on Windows 10 May 2020 Update

    There is a link in Recovery that mentions it, but that only takes you to a web page that tells you how to locate the feature. It's like they intentionally don't want people to find this.

    Are you running the same build of Windows 10 at home and at the office? Could it be to do with the update to 2004? If you boot with a Linux Live USB key do you still have to wait to get a network connection?

  26. They have ran out of ideas now for features, which is not a bad thing to be honest. Maybe they will concentrate more on stability and bugs instead of adding rubbish very few people use. What rubbish? What are you angry and critical of everything? And how do you know what things 'few people use'? You don't; you just know you hate Microsoft and Windows and you have to let people know. Ok, lets say it another way, most of the people I know don't use the stuff that is on windows 10, they just use Windows 10 the same way as they used other versions of Windows. Sure maybe people who have not used other versions of Windows will use the stuff, they will think it is normal to have your computer connected all the time to Microsoft cloud via their MS account, the younger generation don't remember the time when people did not have their life stuck on other companies servers. A lot of us older ones tend now to bother with the apps that are added to Windows 10. I don't hate Microsoft or Windows for that matter, I don't like Windows 10, I think it is the most invasive windows yet and Microsoft have followed the path Apple, google and other companies who want to get as much info about our online and offline life as they can.

  29. Lenovo Chromebook Duet review: A Surface Go killer

    actually, there is a setting where you can have it automatically switch from desktop to tablet mode and vice versa without any kind of prompt (it switches based on whether a physical keyboard is attached or not). I leave it off because I prefer to keep desktop mode even when I remove the keyboard from my Surface Pro 7 (because there is a setting where the touch keyboard is activated when a text field requires input). But I do agree that tablet mode in Windows 10 is kind of an afterthought. However, I can't stand a world dependent on web apps. Web apps are just not fast except under extremely fast connections. And I'm in so many situations where I am not connected to the Internet (because hotspot through my Samsung Galaxy S10+ via Verizon is just awful).

  31. F9: StarLink v1.0 Launch 8

    As far as we know: SpaceX broke the record for US launch-to-launch time from the same pad. Just 9 days, 7 hours and 55 minutes between Starlink L7 and L8 from SLC-40. Previous record was Gemini 7 to Gemini 6A which was 11 days, 18 hours and 7 minutes from LC-19 in 1965.

  35. Microsoft may launch the Surface Duo in the coming weeks

    What's wrong with launching a device right now? economy is bad, corona virus, the useless black lives matter movement. i say they should wait because it will be hard to create awareness or only fans will notice it. people will be more worried about other things to even think about getting a new phone #blacklivesmatter is "useless"? off course its useless. more than 2000 black people died in violence they did not say anything. one man died in the hands of a stupid cop they want to abolish the police in the US and in the UK. I am a Nigerian and I call that BS. if its too bad for them in the US or UK they should come back to Africa and see how life is good and easy for them.

  38. I don't mind the ads, as long as they are static and can be ignored by not looking at them. But websites that serve "In your face", "Click me to dismiss me", "Gotcha!", "You haven't seen it all", "This isn't what you think it is", etc. ads deserve blocking. Many Ad companies and website owners are forcing our hands by doing so.
