windows pro is now home, but with business features that home users don't care about because we needed to move actual business users over to enterprise subscriptions

also, office 365 personal and home are different because personal is one license for office poo poo, and home is 5

Note that there is no one-click way to get to Ease of Access from here (for example: "Ease of Access" is not a link). I mean: goddamn.

hit the start button on your keyboard and start typing "ease of access", or name a folder GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C} and look for it in there

I know how to get there. It's just that:

Like, if the background was disabled via GP then ok: that's done for a reason, an affirmative choice was taken by someone other than the user to make it do this. In this case the ease-of-use would have been set by the user so it should show the user how to do what the user clearly wants to do (change the background, this being a menu where the user is sent to do so).

It's loving terrible UX IMO?

ill admit i dont have a great view of microsoft as someone who only uses windows 10 at work and literally none of their other products but my uninformed view is that microsoft views windows in general and the ui specifically as a case of "this is what is and everyone knows what it is and we dont really care if its great or not because everyone who uses windows does so because its either their job or they actually like it so theres no reason to fix anything even if our corporate culture allowed for such things which it doesnt"

i rly hope they release a fun report about the total cascade of failures that must have happened to precipitate this 2+ days down, but I don't know MS's track record when it comes to doing things like that...

quote:

The biggest issue is Edge, which still isn’t capable of fully replacing Google Chrome or Firefox. It stutters, hangs and crashes frequently, and not being able to change the default search engine is deeply irritating – Bing just isn’t good enough to replace Google.

Despite being installed from the Microsoft Store, Evernote also refused to run, crashing every time on launch.

After a week in S Mode, I had to switch it off – a one-button push in the Microsoft Store reverts the user to the full Windows 10 Home experience. Along with allowing the installation of Chrome and a few other smaller bits, it miraculously fixed Evernote too, which the app’s support team couldn’t explain.
