Yes, and the reason is the defaults is has. The masses have no interest to change settings etc. It feels cluttered by default. The default home/NTP feels cluttered with so much stuff from MSN. The sidebar has too many buttons with Microsoft services. The default search engine is Bing. Just compare Edge defaults with Chrome defaults. The masses open Edge or are "forced" to open it, they don't like what they see and close it and go back to Chrome. -

Microsoft quietly burying a massive Windows 7 hardware driver feature as Windows 11 kills it by Sayan Sen Last month Microsoft announced a big update for Windows hardware drivers. The company declared that it was killing Windows Device metadata and the Windows Metadata and Internet Services (WMIS). For those wondering what it is, device metadata, as the name suggests, is the collection of additional, user-facing information that an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) provides about a hardware device. The feature was introduced with Windows 7 and can include stuff like icons, logos, descriptive texts, among other things, that help the Windows UI display details about such devices in places like Task Manager or Device Manager. This was a huge deal back in the day when Windows 7 debuted. The company called the feature "Device Stage" and Microsoft described it as a "new visual interface" that essentially worked like a "multi-function version of Autoplay where it displays all the applications, services, and information related to your device." It is often considered synonymous with the Windows "Devices and Printers" Control Panel applet. Neowin did an in-depth overview of the feature when it first launched which you can find in its dedicated article here. The Windows OS was able to obtain the device experience metadata from the WMIS, but now that the feature is being deprecated, Microsoft has begun removing information about Device Stage from its official support documents. Neowin noticed while browsing that a support article regarding automatic Windows hardware drivers was updated for Windows 11 and 10 sometime last year after the release of Windows 11 24H2. Previously, this article was geared for Windows 7 and was much longer. It also contained information about Device Stage, which, as mentioned above, was a headlining feature on Windows 7. In the said article, the section "If Windows can't find information about your device in Device Stage" has been deleted. You can find the archived version of the support page here. Aside from shortening the amount of information on the page, Microsoft has also added some more details on it. The company has now tried to define what the Microsoft Basic Display Adapter is, how updating drivers through Device Manager works, as well as a thorough and detailed troubleshooting section for common hardware driver errors on Windows, including one for USB-C. You can find all the new details on the updated support page here on Microsoft's website.

Question
Sigmatic.Minor
Hi all!!
I have a problem with my RAID1 (Mirror) Array; Last night I replaced my RAID5 array with 2 new 1TB WD raid drives in RAID1, formatted with Windows7x64 and installed Intel Rapid Storage Technology 9.6 (the software that replaced Intel Matrix Storage Manager).
I had both arrays active on the same controller and copied all my old data from the old array to the new one, no problems, rebooted and the raid BIOS came up saying the new array was in the "Verify" state, which I've had a few times after crashes etc, however, when windows booted and it did the verify, when I left this morning it was up to 19percent and had 900+ verification errors (but no "media block errors").. These drives were absoultely fine with a surface test, so does anyone know what could be causing the errors?
My old RAID5 array has since been formatted and removed, so only the mirror array is on the controller now.
I did a quick google search, apparently some people have also had this problem on win7 x64 in mirror.. Perhaps I should give the older drivers a try when I get home? (i've heard most people say 8.8 is still the best to stick to...?)
My most important question really is do verification errors mean software or hardware problems? or perhaps just a bug? In these new drivers it doesnt really have an option to view more details about the errors..
Anyone else had the same sort of issues?
Thank you all for your help! :)
