it would be nice if microsoft could update their OS without causing catastrophic data loss, but i guess a small company like that just doesn't have the resources or expertise to make it happen

well, if you don't have wsus and/or GPOs set to prevent this, it's the default behaviour. it's not like that's news, w10 came out over a year ago, it hasn't changed and the behaviour was known during the public beta.

it's specifically to force people to do updates, because if you don't they leave poo poo unpatched indefinitely and then complain about how insecure windows is.

It is still really dumb because even though Windows lets you specify a time window when updates are applied automatically, it has to be at least 12 hours long for some reason. So you can't just set it to happen at 4am only or whatever.

mine hasn't broken since the full release. (i did have some issues with it in the beta, eighteen months ago). maybe you're using it wrong.

my taskbar used to break from time to time, but that hasn't happened in a month or two at least. current weird windows thing is my system clock slowing down while i play video games. im not kidding, it constantly lags behind while im in game, if i look at the taskbar onthe second monitor. goes back to normal the moment i tab out of game, or close it, though

there's a huge delay between a developer making a code change and when it actually even gets into an internal Windows build, much less a public build

like, months

the fixit script has been around for at least half a year, and there have been multiple builds since then

they should be loving over the early access ring with it, that's what they're for these days

outlook.com sucks so bad i think it's a ploy to make you use desktop outlook
pressing enter double spaces instead of single spaces

let me repeat, they hosed up the ENTER key, it looks fine on your screen but the recipient will see everything double spaced

pressing ENTER adds a <p> instead of a <br> like you would expect, you can not fix this default behaviour
how do you insert a single space you may ask?
SHIFT-ENTER

people have been complaining about this for at least 3 years
