How do you like windows 10


Recommended Posts

 

Because there are no major bugs that are forcing them to delay the release!

Delaying it because of some colors and borders inconsistent? delaying it because few percentage of people have problems with the upgrade? it doesn't make sense!

Are you SERIOUS?? Go on youtube and watch all the folks complaining about how they made the mistake of WIndows 10. Off the top of my head:

1. Edge crashes

2. Edge doesn't do extensions

3. Apps do not remember where they are opened last

4. Visual artifacts show

5. Menu items are missing or not showing on half the screen

6. SSDs in raid are treated like usb drives and mountable

7. Sound issues on realtek sound chips

8. Nvidia ... enough said

9. Data that uses tail optimization with .NET randomly corrupting due to 4.6 bug (this hits 8.1 users too if they have VS 2015 installed)

10. ATI drivers crashing and causing BSOD

11. Glitches and freezes of apps failing to start up

12. MS just realeased a monster 360 meg fix of patches in just the first week

13. Placeholders missing in Onedrive

Sorry I standbye WIndows 10 is not ready and is unusable on my machine. I can't get it work on some basic tasks without a bug. Windows 7 didn't have these problems. Only Windows ME did. Terrible OS right now and my coworkers are laughing at those silly enough to install. In 2016 after the 2nd update it MIGHT be stable enough for desktop but I have work to do and can't afford downtime

Petty enough to respond though.

Seriously, stay on topic and stop bickering.

On topic:  I finally upgraded a machine last night and I must say that some things or nice and it's stable so far, but the UI inconsistencies and icons are driving me crazy.  Some of them make the OS as a whole look pretty childish and "put together", IMHO.

I like the new notification area.  Trying to set a default browser takes too make clicks and not real intuitive.  If I say Firefox should be my default, then it takes me to the defaults where I have to click on Internet Explorer just to select Firefox a second time.

Haven't had time to REALLY play with it yet, but will soon.  I do think that 8.1 was a nice update from 8, but at work we had a LOT of problems with updates causing a repair loop that wouldn't actually repair anything.  Hopefully we don't have those issues with 10.  We'll be staying with Win7 for a while at my current school, though as it's been pretty reliable.  Then maybe make the move to Win10 next year.

Opinions are like that.

Sure, they're subjective. So a plenty of people probably thought what you claimed they did. Plenty of people thought otherwise. That's neither here nor there. 

I made an objective observation. Windows 8.1 on release *on release* day 1 was more polished and bug free than Windows 10 on day one. Not an opinion. Fact.

That is because 8.1 was a small update to 8.0, and not nearly the size and scope of Windows 10.

Windows 8, or Windows 8.1? Windows 8 was met with the wild cries of millions of nerds. Win10 is in no ways a really complete platform, but there aren't quite as many people spitting at it in disgust. When we reach a "10.1" level upgrade (whatever they call it), then measure it against 8.1 or even 7,

2. is not a bug. MS said extensions will come eventually

7. No problem here with Realtek sound chip, just not as loud as with Win 7/8

8. Nvidia is Nvidia's problem, not MS

12. the patches were not bug fixes, just performance enhancements and such.

Sheesh... with all the myriads of hardware and software installed on machines out there, of course some are going to get hosed (and with many with not much basic troubleshooting knowledge) and will gnash their teeth and cry to the heavens Windows 10 sucks.

1. Not here.

2. Neither did Chrome when it first came out.

3. Never noticed

5. Like what?

7. Not on mine. Even so, thats a realtek issue.

8. Nvidia issue.

9. That is a .NET framework issue, not Windows 10.

10. ATI issue

11. Not here.

12. Which is a rollup of most patches already released since 10240 dropped. How can this be an issue? Would you rather them not fix things? How many GB of patches does Windows 7 have now?

13. App issue.

I am sorry to hear that you cannot figure out how to make Windows 10 usable. I work on it 8-12 hours a day developing software. It has yet to let me down with anything I couldn't figure out how to deal with. Out of your entire list, only 2-3 issues (out of 13) are actually the fault of Windows 10.

 

What exactly is your job that Windows 10 is so unusable?  More importantly, what exactly is your job that you installed Windows 10 on a business machine?

I upgraded my laptop twice to Windows 10, I do not like it. I did like how quick it was, however the start menu and a few other things just set me away. I will be sticking with Windows 7 (Oh no Microsoft fanboys!!) until they come up with something better.

 

I use my computer for school and work, I expect a system to work good, not have "cool new features" that I won't use, such as Cortana, or stealing my data by default (which of course I disabled data gathering the best they allow). I am overall disappointed with Microsoft, they have moved away from a business environment to an Apple hipster environment. 

I pray the Linux is able to dig its claws into a greater portion of the market share so that they can have some decent business applications only available on Windows (and don't tell me use a virtual machine or wine, you know it'ts not the same!). 

 

I also had problems playing Halo PC in Windows 10 :blush:.

It made me switch to Linux + OS X. Does that answer your question? Now if you excuse me, I need to go down to my basement and recompile my kernel. /s

It didn't make me switch to Linux, but I removed it from both the computers I was running it on and reinstalled Linux back on them!

In other words, i did not like it at all. Half of the entire OS didn't work what so ever on my machines!

Yep it must be me for being an idiot who doesn't know how to use a computer http://www.zdnet.com/article/windows-10-cumulative-update-causes-reboot-loop-havoc-for-some-users/

Just do not come crying back to us when your machine reboots and it is unusable or some app won't load. I do not have these problems since I use WIndows 8.1. It is the best. :-)

I have more important things to do than bug test.

I already installed that update without issue on three different machines.

Any other things you want to throw my way?

 

As for you not knowing how to use a computer, that is all on you, because I certainly didn't say that.

 

Again, what do you do for a job that you installed Windows 10 on  a business machine?

Only one upgrade issue I had was,

One of our PCs at work has SQL Server 2000 SP4 which is required by our POS software to access database. Initially, SQL Server 2000 SP4 threw lot of incompatibility tantrums but eventually got installed on Windows 8.1 X64. But when that 8.1 system got upgraded to 10 X64, actual upgrade went fine but it throws up some error "1st ordinal missing from a file related to SQL Server 2000" after booting. But works.

Now it cannot even be uninstalled.

Subsequent SQL server Express versions are even more bloated and go hide deep into windows.

I did not like this spyware OS at all. I had turned off all the spyware settings but I was getting upset with MS removing all the useful features such as opening program in windows photo viewer rather than their default push for metro crap along with loss of control on updates and force feeding made me to wipe this POS from my system and revert back to windows 8.1

You're seriously bitching that much and don't know how to change the default applications for pictures?

9/10 complaints come from stupid home users. 

I'm not into cars, but I imagine an automotive forum would be very similar to a PC forum (everyone thinking they're right, with their own opinions of how the product should work).

As I said ^ - I've changed a handful of settings (yes, you can actually change default settings) and it's working pretty much the same Windows has for the past...20 years?

I like it. It doesn't feel any faster than 8.1 which I was also very happy with but i like some of the small tweaks here and there to how things work (such as snapping). As it is free I am very happy to run 10 over 8.1 but I wouldn't have paid for it, not enough is better than 8.1.

Every New Windows came with Hardware/Software compatibility problems and some bugs here and there until they were fixed with ongoing patches by Microsoft and OEMs, but you have a short memory! remember Windows XP?

About Windows 10 privacy, even Windows 7 received negative criticism about privacy, remember this?

http://www.computerworld.com/article/2521809/government-it/nsa-helped-with-windows-7-development.html

Finally about jumping to Linux/Mac because of Windows 10, imagine that  millions of Windows users (most of them are ordinary people with little knowledge ) jumped to Linux with it's known drivers problems/lack of mainstream softwares/difficulty of command line.etc? It will be a world wide disaster if not a DOOMSDAY scenario! and can everybody buy a Mac?

In a single word: Underwhelmed.

Cortana/Edge are not "killer" features for me (maybe for someone else), DirectX 12 won't be used widely for quite some time, and otherwise performance is largely the same as both 7 and 8.x.  Some Windows 8.x users may find the new start menu/interface and improvement, and others will find it to be a regression.  It doesn't help that Windows 10 hasn't exactly been the most stable release in recent times... after close to 20 years of using Windows, this is the first time I can remember the start menu crashing.

I'm also not very impressed by the "its the vendor's fault" when it comes to graphic drivers.  Microsoft has knew they were changing the driver model (likely for quite some time), and there are really only 3 vendors in the graphics space anymore (Intel/Nvidia/AMD)... how could they not manage to partner with them to have a stable set of drivers by release?  Its not like the olden days when they had S3, VIA, PowerVR, SiS, Matrox, 3DFX etc. to contend with as well...

    • Microsoft releases PowerToys v0.100.1, fixes a bug that made remapped keys misbehave by Ivan Jenic Microsoft just released PowerToys v0.100.1, a patch update that addresses several stability and behavior issues found in v0.100.0. The v0.100.0 patch was a significant update for PowerToys, as it introduced all sorts of new features and additions, such as a rebuilt Shortcut Guide, a Command Palette Extension Gallery, webcam overlay support in ZoomIt, and more. However, the v0.100.0 version also introduced some bugs and stability issues. And now, Microsoft is addressing these issues in the new patch. The most impactful fix in this release perhaps is in Keyboard Manager, where remapped modifier keys were being delivered as system-key events, causing unexpected behavior in apps. The clearest example of this was Alt-to-Backspace remaps, deleting whole words instead of a single character. So, if you thought there was an issue with your keyboard, Microsoft just confirmed that it was PowerToys. Beyond the Keyboard Manager fix, v0.100.1 also addresses several other issues. It fixes a bug with Power Display that was preventing monitors from waking from standby correctly. Additionally, the new update patches Quick Access crashes on launch, and resolves a Shortcut Guide crash that occurred when switching between sidebar sections. Here’s the full changelog: Color Picker Fixed a bug where the main Color Picker window could appear inside the zoomed-in picker view Command Palette Fixed Run history initialization in AOT builds Fixed a bug where the Performance Monitor dock item could show ??? after restart Fixed the Hibernate command using the Sleep icon Limited the "pin to dock" dialog to displays where the dock is enabled Keyboard Manager Fixed modifier keys remapped to non-modifier keys being delivered as system-key events, which caused unexpected behavior in apps such as Alt-to-Backspace deleting whole words Power Display Fixed a bug where selecting On in the monitor power-state control did not wake a monitor from standby Fixed built-in display detection and brightness control on dual-GPU laptops where the internal panel is driven by the discrete GPU PowerToys Run Fixed VS Code Workspaces discovery after VS Code moved recently opened workspace data to shared storage Quick Access Fixed Quick Access flyout crashes caused by unhandled XAML exceptions during launch or page navigation Shortcut Guide Fixed a crash when navigating between Shortcut Guide sidebar sections Fixed number-key rendering in shortcut manifests and added a Postman shortcut manifest Updated bundled shortcut manifests to use the literal number-key token so number keys render correctly across apps ZoomIt Fixed a race condition in audio initialization for ZoomIt video recording You can download PowerToys v0.100.1 from the official GitHub releases page.

    • Grand Theft Auto VI pricing revealed alongside Ultimate Edition and pre-loading details by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Last week, Rockstar revealed Grand Theft Auto VI pre-orders will be starting soon, and just a day ahead of that, now the studio has announced the official pricing for the highly anticipated game. This has been a hotly debated topic among fans and industry veterans for a long time, considering the game is expected to be the biggest entertainment product launch ever. The confirmed pricing for the Grand Theft Auto VI standard edition is $79.99, which Rockstar says gives access to the "single-player experience set in the biggest, most immersive evolution of the series yet." This follows what most of our readers thought would happen with the pricing too. At the same time, a $99.99 Grand Theft Auto VI: Ultimate Edition has been confirmed as well, which lands with "an exclusive collection of premium vehicles, weapons, apparel, and action threaded across all aspects of Jason and Lucia’s story." Pre-ordering will also give fans extra bonuses, including a Vintage Vice City Pack of cosmetic items as well as a free month of GTA+. Head to the official website of the game here to check out all the cosmetic rewards the Ultimate Edition and pre-orders bring. Interestingly, the studio does not mention Grand Theft Auto VI multiplayer at all in today's announcement. Perhaps this will arrive later, following the campaign launch, or the studio is keeping that reveal for a later date. Digital pre-orders for Grand Theft Auto VI will begin on June 25, 2026, at midnight local time across regions for Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5. The title is slated to launch on November 19 on those same platforms. Pre-loading for Grand Theft Auto VI will kick off on November 12, giving players a week to get the game ready on their consoles. As for the physical edition, Take-Two has confirmed that this will be available without a disc, with the box only containing a download code inside. This will be purchasable starting November 12, giving players who take this route time to pre-load the title as well.
