Updated to 1803 and the only thing that reset was the power because I'm not poo poo at computers


Fight me

Has nothing to do with how good you are at computers. Windows feature updates reset certain settings to default. For me, the most notable reset were my audio driver settings.

There's stuff connected to Windows defender atp, 1709 had the OneDrive files on demand feature (best thing ever to use with Teams tbh), stuff like that which can matter if you're a big enterprise

Also if you lag behind a lot you lose support

it only blinks if the window was blinking before as far I know, as in window blinks, then just stays with different blink color not blinking, explorer restarts and it restarts the blinking timer.

~*the app store is trash*~

for whatever reason the app store version of whatsapp installs but fails to run saying you don't have permissions on the executable, but if you browse to the app folder and doubleclick the exe it runs fine. of course there's no way to pin that to start
