I love how a windows update brings existential dread hoping that something isn't broken when it's finished.
IKR!!!! spends an hour saying updating only to reboot to have it fail so bad ITS SOO BAD lol
Right? Every time I tense up.
Oh, and the inevitable black screen on boot...nothing on screen, but it's actually updating, leaving you wondering if anything IS actually happening......I don't even get a HDD light flickering..Uuuuugggggg
IDK how but I actually have fewer issues on Windows Insider Builds than their actual stable releases....
I had to reinstall my graphics driver.
question is there a windows update that causes your nvme ssd to disappear till you shut the system down total power down and then when you power it back up the drive reappears is that caused by some windows 10 glitch? cause it's so damned weird
Remember when Microsoft said that Windows 10 wouldn't require a reboot anymore to implement updates? Pepperidge Farms remembers.
Could you link to an article or vid where Microsoft claimed that?
Google is your friend. Windows 10 came out in 2015 and there's no way I can remember the URLs for all of the websites that reported this six years ago.
And you'll never ever get old and you'll never ever die. Diabetes.
@@bmh67wa I didn't find anything about it on Google. Stop spreading misinformation.
Wait until the day when a company like Amazon releases a Linux Distro actually designed for mainstream use and advertised to the masses. Windows has been broken for too long...
There's something that I honestly think is hilarious.
When a program freezes / crashes / grinds to a halt so hard that it changes the window borders to the Windows 7 / Vista style.
Literally on the spot.
I also find that hilarious 🤣 every time I'm like damn don't work yourself too hard Win10 you looking aged lmao
There's a big reason why this happens. The "modern" look that you're seeing is opt in, customized stuff defined by the App, not the OS. When it freezes (as in, the application stops responding to messages being pushed by the OS, such as drag, click for 4 seconds), the OS knows that the application cannot offer the capabilities to the user to do anything, such as exit. Therefore, the OS steps in and renders the default borders which offers OS level capabilities to terminate, rather then application capabilities. Of course, remember that Windows is super backwards compatible, so some stuff, like the default borders and such can NEVER change, like ever. It's up to the application to define the non-default behaviours. When this stops working, the OS just steps in and shows the default behaviour to allow the user to exit a non-response app
I suspect it relay is just the old UI with a new UI glued on top each time is see Vista peek back at me.
Vista never left us,
@@bertugolu yea the compatibility with old games via the compatibility settings is the hole reason i finally had to let go of xp and do win 10 but these really took a wile to get as good as they r now but i will say win 10 if you know what your doing can play any game from win 98 days on pretty easy and earlier if your patient
Ever since Microsoft got rid of their QA/QC teams, W10 has been a nightmare to deal with. Every update breaks something. EVERY. UPDATE. And they keep removing features that we rely on, sometimes to fix the stuff that they break. And it's becoming so bloated that it runs like garbage on older machines.
When basic things like printers no longer work there needs to be reform, but they've essentially got a monopoly and the lobbying money not to break up.
i never had ANY issues with any updates on 8 machines of mine...so i really have no idea what people are doing wrong
They also keep shifting shit around for no particular reason. Every update something disappears from the control panel and goes somewhere else completely random. If I'll be forced to re-learn how to use this bastard system then I might as well use Linux.
until you want some decent webcam software, or you want to use basically any 2-in-1 printer, or world of warcraft, or... etc.
Id be on linux in a second if you didnt have to do some command line dos-like hacksaucing to install graphics drivers, annd then have to put v-sync on for the operating system in mint because they creators enjoy tearing :))
I still prefer the old control panel the UWP settings menu is stupidly confusing sometimes and is hard to navigate.
@@captain_sp33dy doesn't really matter as they are trying to replace it with something completely inferior I just really hope they don't make it harder to access in the next versions of Windows 10 as I heard from the grapevine that on some newer insider builds control panel is no longer accessible the normal way and you need to muck around the registry to get it back.
You can NEVER find what you want easily. It's like Microsoft are telling people to be Stupid and to never learn anything about using the Control Panel Access.
Removing Control Panel, at this stage, just isn't an option for those who want get stuff done and not spend an hour trying to find something or a setting.
I totally use the Win10 start menu tiles, I just put my own apps there that I don't need all the time but still need often enough that making them easier to access makes sense.
I actually like them too on 10. They were terrible on 8.
The thing I hate the most is when you move around a window for too long it minimizes EVERYTHING
You can turn that off called: areo shake. Just lookup that and do it via registry or the local gpo route. Either way.
I always remove the widget gadgets tab from the Start menu
Windows 10 doesn't even work on the computer my job gave me lmao.
Every month it'll either crash or something will happen where I get kicked out while still doing work on it
I read a recent news that in the latest update. Anytime you press print will cause BSOD.
My biggest loss was when WIndows Movie Maker was deleted....It was perfect for making short movies.
Does your company have an IT department or contract out IT services? If so, don't just stay quiet and angry about your computer's performance while doing nothing about it. Tell them! I promise you there is a solution to your computer's crashes.
@@brokeandtired maaybe kdenlive would work for you?
@@50PullUps I had a customer who destroyed the audit trails in sage accounting software because the pc kept in crashing so but didn't tell me right away (it was bad ram stick) and they hey tried doing the month end accounts and the software wouldn't return a report due to corrupted audit trail, even sage couldn't fix it so they had to re-enter 3 weeks of invoices (at least they had backups)
Once Windows 10 quit out of a game and shut everything down so it could update. I lost my saved data and the footage I was capturing. It didn't even warn me. It just shut down.
Also, sometimes messages pop up while I'm playing a game and it ruins the footage.
those problems are settings that you can adjust. Windows does not just update without warning, you probably got the warning before and simply forgot about it. Windows will go several days after the waring before it forces the issue. Some updates are not avoidable if you have it set to check for updates on its own. Point is, your situation is preventable just by going into the settings and making the proper changes.
sometimes it depends on the file format, if its an mp4 i think, if windows crashes, then the file is lost
Sry i made use of the tile start menu very useful maybe i dont use all of MS apps but its useful ie checking the weather and most times in my experience it Just WORKS!
The most irritating thing:
When you can't connect to the internet because drive problems or something when you do a fresh install, you try to connect to the internet by using help or debug and.. message appears.."Please connect to the internet for help" 🤔
Windows 10 comes with an Ethernet and WiFi driver that's so widely compatible it's genuinely difficult to find a machine that won't know what to do with it. If you're deploying Windows to a computer that straight-up can't establish network connectivity then that's the fault of the hardware manufacturer, not Microsoft.
Out of curiousity, could you share the brand of computer / motherboard you're installing Windows on that refuses to get online?
Or when Windows Home tells you to contact your system administrator...on the HOME edition.
@@HikingWithCooper it's a pre built in string for all versions of windows, even starter. it's there because home is not just used in homes, it's used all over the place for a windows version that doesn't have RDP, and all those advanced features like maybe a public computer at a library or in a school, or maybe even a simple kiosk where it can just be directly controlled from the kiosk it self without even opening the kiosk at some points.
windows 10 is the best os to for exploring a new linux as a replacement. kinda like IE was the best browser for downloading a better one.
I'm personally a fan of Manjaro(Arch the easy, and sane way, and my main daily Linux OS) with MATE Desktop Environment(a good combo of lightness, and usability), Mint DE(Debian Edition as it's stable, and free of Ubuntu), and Neverware Cloudready OS Home Edition(Chromium OS for when I need a system that updates itself, for a user who only needs a basic PC, and for very young kids as there is not much they can mess up).
@@CommodoreFan64 I agree. I too use Mint and Manjaro because they're very user friendly. I play games all the time on Linux distros and have been since childhood. With the introduction of Proton we're very close to being able to seriously compete with Windows as a gaming OS. If only anti-cheat would be compatible with Wine and DRM wouldn't cause that many issues. That'll be the day!
They need to remaster Windows XP already, I'm dead serious. Windows 10 was a mistake.
it seems since Win 98SE every other version of Windows MS has released has been bad for example 98/98SE(all around good for it's time), ME( a huge dumpster fire unless you had specific hardware since it used more system resources then Win 98se, and they changed the driver stacks so a lot of hardware from Win 95/98 days did not have correct driver support), Win 2000(really good for business), Win XP - SP2 OG(a security nightmare), Win XP SP3(when it finally got really good), Win XP 64bit(almost no mainstream support so I give it a pass as it's not all MS's fault) Win Vista(Don't get me started on how long it took to make it usable disabling security BS), Win 7(one of the best MS ever made IMHO), Win 8(fucking hell Metro UI was bad), Win 8.1(it could be made usable), Windows 10(caused me to dump Windows after updates borked my system, deleted files off my main SSD, and pegged my system @ 100% usage doing nothing but sitting on the desktop, so I move to Linux finally settling on Manjaro Mate for my main distro, Chromium OS when I need something dirt simple, and Mint DE(Debian Edition) for the rare hardware like my 13in Mid-2012 Macbook Pro that just does not play well with Manjaro).
ChromeOS is essentially Linux without freedom, the same as Android. The anti-Linux feelings come from Linux not having any marketing, and the only Linux users you are likely seeing are those pro users who are doing all the harder things Linux allows you to do.
i know i like linux ,but it's not fully usable for me
@@jay-gi9dk Only reason to use Windows is if you must use certain software that only Windows has, where you also need 100% performance so you can't virtualize and use it at 80%, or if you are mostly a gamer.
But I have heard this same thing with SO many people who finally migrated to Linux and they were kicking themselves for not doing it sooner.
The hard part is the migration, as everything in Linux seems worse when you come from Windows, as you have been trained to think certain way. I had been using Linux since 2002 but finally when my new Windows laptop was staying in RMA for months, I just started using Linux for everything. Later I couldn't stand Windows anymore and things I hated in Linux originally were now things I absolutely loved about.
@@juzujuzu4555 i want to work with my computer NOT work on my computer fixing shit
@@joalex79 yup thats why i use linux😂had only problens with windows
@@joalex79 And that's exactly why I use Linux and why you should too. It's also the reason why all servers are Linux, why Android and ChromeOS are Linux, why Linux is on the Mars and International space station and on all of the top 500 supercomputers.
I installed Linux for my 70yo mother because I was fed up fixing his Windows problems on the phone. After the initial week or so she hasn't needed my help ONCE in the past 4 years.
And also she doesn't need to use antivirus etc. nor update anything, as all the software, OS updates, security updates, drivers and firmware and new kernels come automatically. Though you can select no automatic updates too.
Most of these things can be fixed within the first 3 minutes of installing a fresh version of windows.
The things that really bug me, are things you can't fix.
Multi monitor setups on Windows are the worst...
- Want your task bar tray icons on both screens? Nope.
- Want to change which side of your screen the notification panel appears on? Nope.
- Want to have a window show as always on top? Only with AHK scripts.
And they're just off the top of my head...
TimmyJoe, You probably already know this but: CLASSIC SHELL is an awesome app that let's you replace the WIndows 10 Start Menu with a fully configurable Win7 or Win 8 Start Menu. I've been using it since Windows 10 was released because I absolutely HATE the Win10 Start Menu.
Timmy Joe, I couldn't agree more about Control Panel vs Settings. I absolutely despise using Settings, which is why one of the first things I do after every new Windows installation is put a shortcut to Control Panel on my desktop.
Also - I despise their new photos app. I found a registry tweak to restore the one from Windows 7 and use that.
Movies/tv app is one of only two apps that I have found, in my extensive search, that plays back Dolby Atmos properly. The only other one is the VLC player in the Windows app store. Not even the stand alone VLC that you download from the VLC website plays back Dolby Atmos.
i never used those startup icons. we have desktop icons. trying to get rid of start menu was the dumbest thing ever. i agree on the settings menu too, i have to search every tab to find stuff. the old settings tab was so much simpler
Windows 10 is why all my main systems run Manjaro Mate, and my backup Lenovo Thinkpad models X130e, and X120e run Neverware Cloudready Home Edition(Chromium OS).
Linux is more user friendly than Windows. The only thing linux users are waiting for is for the gaming developers to make games for linux, or even get Easyanticheat to work with wine, and steams proton. However most games will still work fine with linux with proton
Linux lacks some essential Software like "search everything" or Infranview and it lacks file explorer features out-of-the box like a search bar in the browser when you wanna save a file
Linux tbh much easier to use than few years ago
It's amazing how so many judge Linux. The past 2 years alone there have been big changes. More features are coming out with every release.
I blame the Nokia lumia hype for all this crap we deal with nowdays. If it wasn't for Microsoft fucking up Nokia to push forward the windows mobile then this wouldn't of happened to windows 10. It probably would of stayed the same as windows 7
Imagine being a sysadmin/tech support for hundreds of randomly updating and/or domain dropping systems.
Howdy howdy
@@Wahinies Do you tell your users at the end of the day to reboot their machines and walk away? That's your solution for randomly rebooting endpoints.
And why would hosts connected to the domain just randomly drop off and present the 'No logon servers' error? They wouldn't. At least not randomly. There's an explanation for why that's happening.
By the way, I worked at an MSP for 2.5 years. Getting the job was the #1 best thing that ever happend to me and leaving that technology sweatshop was #2nd. Today I'm a sysadmin in the internal IT department of a mid-sized company and I couldn't be happier. Fuck MSP's.
Great Video. Hello from Russia. We love win XP and 7 and Linux
how's it going with getting Putin out of office? =D
@@criznittle968 put in Putin.)
Idk man, I'm a gen z, experienced a bit of 98/7/8.1, but for me there's nothing wrong about win10, it's easy and almost automatic for me to use, most of the time.
Yeah but tbh, the search bar really replaced the start menu for me. Its so much easier to think of what I want to launch then search for it then launch it. Dunno if thats just years of googling doing me in though.
it's stable but the mandatory updates, that are very frequent, as well as the confusing layers of UI and system settings are fair complaints
@@johannsmith5697 Yeah it was also like this for windows 8 where there were the vestigial remains of classic windows then the jarring as fuck start menu with no start button till 8.1 because ??????
If my grandma can use linux, you can too.
Since 2005 I've worked for a non profit dealing with seniors(mainly running a senior center in my small town, and meals on wheels), and I've gotten some of my clients on to Linux(Mint to be exact), and one of them is now turning 96 in a few months, and uses it on her Acer laptop daily. for other clients who need something way more simple I install Neverware Cloudready OS Home Edition(Chromium OS) on their hardware, and since I personally Switched to Manjaro MATE I've had a few switch with me as well from Mint, and all of them have been way more happy then on Windows 8/8.1/10.
You can stop windows updates from bringing up the "Hello we have some updates screen" by going and disabling the windows notifications for "Show me the Windows welcome experience after updates and occasionally when I signed in to highlight what's new and suggested", and "Suggest ways I can finish setting up my device to get the most out of Windows"
Linux, it gives you total freedom, and it certainly is MUCH more user friendly than Windows. Changing just requires some learning. Also the amount of games that doesn't work is insignificant. With new kernel 5.12 even the worst anti-cheat software can be made to work on Linux.
After you finally switch to Linux and learn it, you will wonder why the hell you suffered Windows so long.
Yeah nah ill switch when Linux can you can run any program from the last 5 years without a hassle
I've have a personal laptop that I use for personal and for remote work and it's on Ubuntu Mate right now. It's been pretty solid (the only time it would break was when I was customizing it and tweaking certain things). I've got some games on it and it works well. LogMeIn doesn't have native support so I use Teamviewer (which does) to remote into my work computer.
@@KermenTheFrog I haven't had any hassle as everything updates automatically on the background couple of times a week. No restarts forced.
So if to take that literally, you would rather suffer with Windows if there's even 1 software that causes problems with Linux? And there's no software problems with Windows? Or the whole OS breaking problems with updates.
I get that people don't want to change, and well, no one wants to work, but these sort of excuses are just stupid.
@@MaxDad7 Linux gives you total freedom to also screw up the OS. But usually that requires quite risky things. With normal usage Debian and thus Ubuntu based distros are rock solid. Though I think any popular distro is really solid nowadays, even the rolling release distros, at least if you update them regularly.
@@KermenTheFrog what programs do you mean, all the once you aren't using? or any specific program?
Good list! I use windows for gaming, and Linux mint for work / editing. I have an install of mint on an external nvme, so that I can work on any pc. If windows fixed the updates, I would probably use it for productivity more.
Microsoft needs to start from the ground up and build a new version of Windows. Windows is built upon the old Windows NT backbone which is over 20 years old. They just keep modifying the old system and updating it. There's a lot of legacy crap in the background and lots of un necessary services and invisible crap bogging down Windows. They just need to make Windows have only what is needed to run your software running in the background.
Debloat script's are very good for this, not for faint hearted
@@Simon-vc1wk I've used debloat scripts and always tweak my new windows install but there's still a lot of background $h!t that you can't disable. I want a completely bare bones windows is that will still allow me to run the very few bits of software I need to run from time to time. But Microsoft sees fit to keep adding more and more features without giving us an option to disable them.
The control panel fuckery is really the worst. At least the start menu I can fix by adding/removing what I want, but I'm always having to search for things I use all of the time (sound and game controller settings) that were easily accessible in Windows 7, and are now hidden in Windows 10.
Great video, The only App I use from the Windows Store is EarTrumpet. Just a super fast easy way to adjust windows volumes for your browser, discord anything else you got running.
4:27 Go to "add or remove programs" and you can move a Windows game to another drive. I'm assuming you can always do that but it would not surprise me if it's not always possible considering how weird the Windows Apps are.
Win7 over win 10 all day (win7 is not supported anymore but you will never get updates anymore ) :)
late vista was more ergonomically functional, aka less double menus; than we deal with now.
Honesty windows 7 sucks. I flip used pc’s and get some garbage thrown in occasionally that is to underpowered for windows 10. So I install windows 7 instead. Takes so much time to get that updated and ready. Have to solve multiple errors every install I do. Then windows won’t updates then there something with the WiFi and so on. Windows 10 is so ez to set up. Install, update it and done.
@@sijedevos2376 just download an iso that has all the upades for win 7 included...

List of win 10 derps and why I'm using win7 as main while waiting for win10 to reach beta. It's surprising that these things are still missing. Win7 naturally has all of these in perfect working condition. In no particular order:
1. Start menu pin whatever you want like shortcuts. Copy any of the shortcuts to any place on desktop or in other folders.
2. Freely reorganize pinned task bar shortcuts - like windows folders within win explorer shortcut on the taskbar.
3. Recently used folders automatically populate the recent list- like win7 did. As soon as you open a file in a folder X, folder X immediately populates the recent folders on the right click dialog of the windows explorer shortcut.
4. Simple to disable, never-bother-me-again as long as I don't explicitly tell you otherwise - kind of updates.
My dad had a Windows update happen right when he was in the middle of playing a game, and went into full recovery and reinstall.
I use Classic Shell for the start menu and control panel. I've never used the Microsoft store (Steam or bust).
There's also gog, epic, amazon, and several others depending on the type and era of game. there's even fan game subsection with games like pokemon uranium, along with a lot of projects that people upload on platforms like itch.io and old flash games ie newgrounds.
You're on pc, there's no reason to be faithful to one store front.
@@Azurath100 It's convenience for me. However GOG Galaxy is an ambitious attempt to help unify the mess of launchers.
@@TheNiteNinja19 I hope that project comes through.
jup windows made me use linux
When Windows 10 has all updates disabled and then forces every update all at once just because they have some new version of Windows 10 coming out and now you can't turn your computer off because you're afraid it's going to wipe all your drives because it's been known to do that in the past.
That is why I have two separate SSDs, one with Debian so when windows breaks (it's a matter of when, not if) I won't be totally screwed. "Linux gaming" is an oxymoron, but so is "windows is stable."
The last 4 major windows updates I had, every single time it broke something.
I just did a fresh install two weeks ago because I got so annoyed about the manny accumulated issues I couldn't find anywhere how to fix. Now it runs just fine. (Like it should have in the first place)
Lmfao, yeah everything MS makes is a broken, convoluted, buggy, piece of trash. This includes everything they make, including their consoles. Once more devs start using Vulkan instead of D3D, we will see many more games on linux. Speaking of which, Steams Proton works fairly well but still isn't as good performance for most games as running natively in windows.

You should try Linux before you hate on it. Linux Mint, Ubuntu, solus, elementary are some of the beginners distributions you can start with.
Manjaro, Zorin, Deepin, FerenOS should be considered as well
@@Wahinies agreed. But he needs to start with training wheels. 😂 😆 Lol
@@kevinpitts3548 i've worked for a non profit for seniors since 2005, and I've gotten more than a few clients over the years onto Linux, and one client who is turning 96 in a few months to use Manjaro Mate who was not a big computer user before she started at my senior center as one of my OG clients, so with that I think just about anyone can use Manjaro IMHO as it's even easier to update then Mint, and Ubuntu(don't get me started on that dumpster fire, as Canonical has killed it's goodwill with me) with Pacmac, with the AUR enabled for general software installs/updates, and Manjaro settings manager for Linux kernel updates making it all a breeze as they do all the work for you.
the start menu search has been around since vista, that's how I have used it for years now, its such a pain in the ass actually looking for something in the start menu, and it always has been even since 95
Timmy Joe obviously hasn't used any current Linux OS. I used Windows until Microsoft stopped supporting security updates for Windows7. Now I dual-boot Windows7 and Linux on my desktop pc (use LInux over 95%) and run Linux MX exclusively on a laptop. Linux was easier to install than Windows (all easy GUI). All my apps are 100% free in Linux including free office, graphics, video-editing, games, etc. I don't have to worry about Windows viruses and Linux includes excellent free firewalls and security updates (which don't mess up the pc like a lot of Windows updates). My computer never gets blue screen of death from Linux. Linux isn't perfect (some games incompatible), but what is? Overall, it's worth a try (considering it's 100% free and high quality)!
100% agree
I can say the same about windows , i never had any issues with it, installing it is super easy aswell... all my apps are free aswell and viruses can hit anyone , linux,macos or windows . oh and all games work!
@@SweatyFeetGirl BS ALERT!😂
@@johnsmith-gs4qf nope , its not bs.
I work with Printers and Copiers, mostly HP commercial line and Win10 loves to install the printers on WSD ports which might work for a while then one day it'll just say printers offline or give some other odd message. I swear some machines I setup on IP address ports have later changed back to a WSD port. I'm assuming an update did that & I know other brand printers have been setup on WSD ports as well so don't think it's an HP only thing with W10. I have found in Network sharing center (advanced sharing settings) unchecking the Turn on automatic setup of network devices helps, or so far it has.
I do use control panel as well for everything even changing printer settings, seems like less clicking needed.
Roughly 98% of the top 500 most popular games of the past 20 years now run flawlessly on Linux .. so that argument is officially null and void
Try running older games from early 2000s then, it simply won't go smoothly
@@MJ-uk6lu lol I don’t think you know what you’re talking about.
Windows update changing thing I don’t want changed. I have completely customized windows to my personal preference using Ultimate Windows Tweaker. For example I removed the blue arrow things on shortcuts, removed 3D objects/other useless shortcuts from the file explorer and many other changes but most updates reset a few of those thing and I have to change it again every time.
I've never had any issues with windows 10 breaking the pc or reinstalling crap, fortunately, I always use "ShutUp10" to disable a ton of crap, so that's probably why. It re-enables some stuff after some updates, but it's easy enough to just fire it up again and disable them, it even asks you if you wanna create a restore point and warns if it's disabled in windows.
Little bit of a tip if you use the windows store for games: don't. Nah am kidding. Use the Xbox app instead. It has a better ui and doesn't need te latest windows update to install games. All the games you bought from the store will show up in your library once you log in.
I've had windows updates completely corrupt my OS beyond recovery and have to reinstall it completely multiple times..
Windows 10's janky update-system almost cost me a PC sale a few days ago. Updated Windows and before the buyer arrived it wanted to update Windows Defender yet again and crashed during the blue-screen...hooray for SSDs and automatic segmented backups...
I have a secondary z97 system that also bluescreens on updates for the last few weeks, ridiculous but I ended up disabling updates until they can sort it out
Perform a Google search for Windows Update Troubleshooter. I've had good experiences with it.
for almost a year the store said that I didn't own the game
God that pisses me off mine does that for some games something about a cache issue its a bitch to fix
The last few weeks or so windows just pops up this notification that says its going to restart in 60secs and there's nothing I can do about it, it just restarts my computer. It's very frustrating and I can't find the setting I need to turn it off
It sounds like either 1. your computer is infected with malware or 2. while you stepped away from your machine someone got their hands on your keyboard and made a configuration in the Registry that makes Windows randomly reboot.
15 hours ago i my Win10 copy forgot how to make a "new folder" somthing about a regkey geting messed up. competly remove the make "new fold" icon when u right clicked.
windows got rid of Windows Media Center, I still use it with a ceton cable card and extenders. It's a bad ass cheap mulitroom DVR that just works
I refused for the longest time to switch to Win 10-Malware Edition. I won't go into what I had to do to get Win 7 to work on a Ryzen Gen 1 launch week build. Uber pain in the ass. But worth it to not have to look at Win 10-Spyware Edition.
I unpin all the tiles of the start menu and make it as small as possible. Have no problem with it anymore, but a fresh install of Windows will make me cry 😂
I use the Calendar and the Weather tabs in the Start menu, as well as shut-down/restart through the Power button, though I do still right-click and get to the power options that way.
I just like using Windows for my music and gaming. Win10 is a huge improvement over Win7 in those regards, imo.
Everytime I open win explorer it‘s opening favorites and I just wanted to show me my PC and not my favs....
FYI, Classic Shell is still a thing, it will restore a proper start menu
My main PC's Mobo Got damaged because of me trying to remove the GPU with a screwdriver and I moved my Linux Drive to another machine and BAM!, it works. No activation or long hardware detection time.
I ran into a problem where I was trying to activate Windows 10 but it would not work, I think because I had done one of their updates. It's crazy
Great video man! You had me smiling the whole time! I worked for Microsoft even their business model is an epic cluster fuck!
The worst thing for me about windows updates are printers not working. Usually it's a quick winver "oh they're on 1903, need to get 20H2 and make a huge check list of printers to look for compatability issues." I mean I guess I should blame hp and other printers manufacturers for only updating their software twice before making you run and buy a new printer.
Yes, the Win10 settings UI is a terrible candidate to replace the old Control Panel, I was like "What were those guys in MS thinking? Did they just fired all the senior UI guys and replace them with a bunch of fresh grads from high school?" (no offence towards high school grads)
One of the most terrible apps in W10 is default image Viewer - it's dead slow and lacks features in comparison to old app from W7.
I have to install IrfanView like we did classicshell in the 8 days
My #1 - the stupid task bar. I use my PC for productivity and need my whole monitor. MS gives me 2 options, either: 1: give up 10% of my monitor for a task bar I do not need or 2: hide it and have it pop OVER my work any time I get anywhere near it. I literally have a button on my keyboard that does little more than bring the task bar up. Let ME decide when the stupid bar is visible.
I agree with most you said, most uf unnecessary annoyances, like how they keep moving stuff around in the Settings,
Ant there are still things only present in the old control panel.
But you missed the most cruical part: NO SOLITAIRE/MINESWEEPER.
Also, it now comes with *THREE* Webbrowsers no one wants to use: Internet Explorer is somehow still there for Compatibility reasons or something, the "Old" Edge, which is still used by default, and the "New" Chromium based Edge.
Getting rid of the Outdated versions, to at least having just one to deal with, requires jumpig though some hoops, just like getting rid of Cortana or the Metro Apps in the Start Menu.
My least favorite thing is the useless unremovable apps that Microshaft forces on you . I never have/will use the people, calendar , ect apps on there but you can't remove them for some stupid reason.
Switched to OpenSUSE Linux this year on my main desktop rig. It's been fantastic in so many ways, especially the file manager and the aesthetics. Bye bye Microsoft!
I call it Winblows... Full of bloatware.. There is no reason for it to suck up so much memory and resources.
3 things that continuously fail when upgrading, clock, second monitor and shutdown. So simple for a modern OS one could think...
This Video Hit me rite in The Feels Man.
Linux updates are great. Never had one that broke anything. Still have to use SQL server for work though - and win X for the latest games.
jup and everything updates like programms, os and drivers its amazing
I've never used the metro start menu one 8 to 10. I personally use startisback but classic start does almost as good a job
I've found moving to the LTSC variant of Windows 10 makes everything better; no more random updates hogging your machine pushing you to a new version without it asking you lol.
To install windows software and programs on a Linux Distro you install them through "Play on Linux" or "Wine", both are a windows emulator just like windows uses a DOS emulator to run windows. If you are a gamer and have "Steam" ALL of your games in Steam work natively on Linux and Linux has a Distro/OS that's actually called Steam OS.
it got so bad at one point i had to block windows update -microsoft kept messaging saying i had an error -no i was deliberately blocking them lol
@Timmy Joe PC Tech your way to go for fixes is Chris Titus tech tipps. Then you red rid of all that crap that is in the system , has more PS to use and less struggle to care =)
I was half expecting there to be a Chris Titus shoutout in the video. The only thing from Timmy Joe’s list is control panel vs settings but I think that’s just windows gonna window
This really struck a chord with me. I can't tell you how much I absolutely despise the Win 10 start menu. I immediately installed the classic start on all my machines.
I also hate the settings menu; it's dreadful. I could navigate the control panel with ease and get things how I wanted them without fuss. The 'settings' system currently offered is terrible. It's not the slightest bit intuitive. I hate it.
I made the jump from Windows to Linux, but i still keep a windows VM around for games that don’t like Linux. What made me do it was windows update and the Microsoft store absolutely fucked up my install. Don’t know why. After a certain amount of games from Game Pass I installed, the service responsible for making the MS Store apps usable, made windows explorer crash over and over again. Tons of reasons I switched but those were the main reasons. I can also agree with your point about Linux. It can be very intimidating for those who’ve never used it.
By far the worst feature that started with W-10 is the new way they make you get into Safe Mode! Before, it was just turn on or reboot your computer and hit F8. That was perfect. Now, they have inexplicably turned it into a NINE-STEP PROCESS. Click Start, click Power, hold down Shift, click Restart, click on Advanced, click on Troubleshooting, click on Startup Settings, click Exit, and then when the computer restarts you have to hit 4. Compared to just hitting F8 on W-7. That is the most astonishingly stupid and infuriating change in my opinion.
My Number 1 Absolute biggest complaint about Windows is the lack of choice for when I can make updates... if I'm willing to run a 10 year old version of Windows 10 then let me f...ing do it... I HATE when window Automatically updates.. Especially because it is ALWAYS happening at the most inconvenient times.
It sometimes changes my drive letters and I keep having to open cmd and use diskpart to fix the drive letters so it can boot again. At the end I gave up and hackintoshed.
You hacked into a shed?

I am about done with it. One of the final nails in the coffin was about Dec 2019 after a feature update. I was in the long process of moving and disconnected my internet. Everything worked fine for months. I made NO changes. Then after about three months of being offline, I noticed very basic Windows functions like Photos not working etc. It got to the point where nothing would work whatsoever. I duginto a bit and found out that Windows had recently decided to make all of their basic functions, individual apps. Meaning, if you didn't log into windows store in X amount of time, they would lock up as some sort of anti piracy measure or something. It also started crashing, which wiped my Steam credentials too. So in order for me to use my PC at all, that worked fine for months and had zero changes, I had to unhook it all and take my e tire tower and monitor etc a the way to my folks house to plug into their Ethernet since I don't have wireless. Was logged in for like two seconds and bam everything worked fine. I shutdown, unplugged, and lugged it all the way back home.
Besides believing it to be really lame, especially considering many people don't have access to broadband at all or at least very limited access, I started wondering why they would do that. Then it dawned on me! It was to create the appearance that MS Store actually gets traffic. It is clear it sucks, so I'm sure it was/is hard to get devs to Dev for it(verified). Just try using one of their 3rd party Apps, yuck! The web version of them is almost always way better.
Then about a year ago, I was having issues with mixed reality portal installing (turned out the update you needed to have installed to allow that to work kept crashing during it's install, so it wasn't up to date enough to DL the "App". While I was trying to figure that out, I ended up in the "DL history" of MS Store, where I found an alarming sight. There were PAGES AND PAGES of "recently purchased" and "recently updated" apps on that list that I NEVER installed ever. And some were the ones that they always install during a fresh install(Candy crush, etc), but I uninstalled years ago. It had specific days for these "purchases" (all free games) many of which were thinks like paint, photos, etc and almost all of them I never even looked at. I. fa it had months worth of "purchases" that supposedly happened while my PC was taken apart and packed up for the final move, so I know there is no way it even happened by accident.
I knew then that I was right about them trying to inflate their Store traffic and usage. THEN!!! Not but a few months later, I hear the announcement that Android Apps will be sold on MS Store..... So @google you may wanna take another look at any data they showed you.
The culture of these tech companies is the issue, If you actually work there and you arent coming up with new and exciting ideas at all times you are fired. The execs dont want to hear that a member of the design team have decided to give paint a facelift. They want to hear that theres some new radical modern change to everything.
Just the other day, Windows updated (it took a while and it was constantly interrupted by CPU fan errors, a small issue I'm too lazy to fix) and the result was that my entire goddamn graphics driver was uninstalled, making it run like absolute crap until I reinstalled it.
On top of that, it reset a bunch of my settings so I had to go to set those again. Additionally, they also removed the sleep button from my power menu.
Cherry on the cake? My chopstick from my breakfast fell on the floor during this whole ordeal.
Thanks, Windows.
If you have gamepass with ea acess it took me 6hr to get it too work.
You need xbox app to connect with ea desktop app to run same time same account but link a ea account to your xbl account.
Also if you install games via the xbox app the game will create a heavy encripted portion on your drive that blocks all changes even a simple 3rd party signn in page will make it freak out and close the game.
if you try to modify anything it will erease/replace the data.
i looked into this they are using the xbox version of games on pc. so the portian is a virtual xbox one drive.
try it out
I use my firewall to block updates since Microsoft can't be trusted. They also have never fixed the file explorer bug where if you remove a USB device the left side pane is reset. And they added a new bug where drag and drop on the left is broken.
I have never actually had a problem with windows 10, but I also went from XP to windows 10
im digging the whole xbox app on pc thing i think thats pretty cool along with the new ea access on pc i was pretty skeptical at first but i use game pass on my pc now because its so handy to be able to switch to my zxox or pc and keep my save files everything else sucks though lol windows is super bugged
timmy i actually use those tabs.... in the start i move all my games there and overclocking utilities that dont actually install so i dont have a cluttered desktop. i turn off suggestions and most to all other features i dont need on for a slight gitty up on lder pcs that dont have an ssd or anything it actually does help turning aero and all that off in that situation.

My most hated thing is when sound randomly stops working onboard Aux
No fix. Just reinstall. Drivers don't help.
This is why USB headsets are the best.
It's rare but happens like 5% of the time and that's too damn high.
I am a builder so I test sound before it goes out the door. And sometimes it really just stops working.
...idk, I used to have pretty decent luck with moving W7 drives between machines, too.
Do you mean external hard drives? With 7 if you popped the hard drive containing the boot partition out of one brand of laptop and into another you were pretty much guaranteed to experience a blue screen.
If you don't update your computer it won't go to sleep by itself. It's stupidest thing ever and it drives me nuts.
Open Shell is classic shell replacement as it's no longer maintained
for windows updates get windows 10 Pro and use gpedit to set it to 150 days delay on feature updates (pick semi-annual channel) and 20 days delay on normal updates
This makes Sure You get well tested beta updates (sorry I mean "" release"" updates) before your pc or customer PCs gets the update (as ms pulls updates when they start destroying windows installs or making the printer stop Working)
a search bar on windows 10, i never had that, its still on my no go list. you had to enable cortana and i am not doing that.
This is why I still run Windows XP...in my VM to play old games. Yeah, I'm suffering through Windows 10 like most people.
