its amazing how much better win 7 feels when you're using it. like the start menu pops up right away, and overall it doesn't feel like a sluggish mess the way win 10 does.

whenever i plug in my iPhone to the usb cable to charge, the os goes bazonkers and beeps a bunch of times

then the wifi adapter fails and i have to plug it back in

Sounds like user error

One lovely thing that's been happening after the last creators update is that chrome has been freezing when the laptop wakes up from sleep

But I have no idea of that's windows 10 or the dell laptop cause man this laptop sucks

kinda wish windows COHLD protect itself

like imagine if apps installing asked permissions like ios

"allow this app to add things to the file system menus"

and also perhaps an extremely easy way of cleaning that mess up

i know how to do it with autoruns but it's still not straightforward

after thinking about this for 2 mins, i can safely say i have no idea what youre referring to

ive never not known which window has focus on windows. its in the name!

on mac, if you click chrome, it focuses hangouts instead. you start typing when u click things and u have no idea which window ur typing in

for some reason, there is an application called Groove Music in my start menu. I don't know what Groove Music is or why I would want it so I go to uninstall it. the "uninstall" option is grayed out. I google around. turns out I need to, and I'm not making this up, open an elevated powershell window and run

"Get-AppxPackage -name "Microsoft.ZuneMusic" | Remove-AppxPackage"

yes - Microsoft.ZuneMusic

Creators is later and if you download Anniversary it'll just update itself to Creators anyway. (after about 100000 reboots)

what does my head in on mac is that closing an app doesn't automatically give focus to the next window that you can see. that's kinda mental: plus since you have to click in a window to get focus before you can use that widow.. well gently caress my/ whereas windows it doesn't matter was has focus the click just works

this matters a lot
