Gone are the days of LAN SMB file shares and storage solutions within the confines of our own domiciles. Today we blindly accept the sending of whatever the gently caress over the Internet to a data-center in the cloud and downloading it back.

I used some software called D-LAN, which is kinda old now, but still works on Win10. Its actually local and does exactly what you’d expect. Recommended. http://www.d-lan.net

More on 19H2: https://www.zdnet.com/article/heres-the-real-reason-microsoft-is-already-testing-publicly-next-springs-windows-10-release/ tl;dr the windows core (kernel etc) got moved to be under the Azure team, and so schedules are being arranged to suit the Azure guys. Windows client (ie all the shell and built-in apps) team are still the ones putting together the half-year updates, but they're now marching to someone else's drum beat. Note that this re-org happened in early 2018, which makes me think it might be another reason for how poo poo things have been since then. Clouds > users.

I'm really sick of these feature updates changing my settings. I installed updates yesterday and now my mouse cursor has changed and the sound theme changed from No Sounds back to the default theme, blaring sounds out of my speakers unexpectedly. Get your poo poo together, Microsoft.

Sure, it's easier, but having to root around in settings to correct things is the sort of unnecessary, tedious friction that makes people avoid updating.

Any ideas about this? For context, my computer doesn't seem to want to go to sleep on its own. I don't think it's related to IDrive, either, since I left it on in the middle of the day recently and it still didn't go to sleep. This started within the last few weeks, to the best of my memory.

I think it's something in the 1903 update as my desktop will no longer go to sleep on it's own either despite being set to. This behaviour started right after that update. I can manually set it to sleep from the start menu. I have no solution to it unless someone else does. At least they fixed the night light issue, that's working again now.

Is there any native or at least preferred method to make windows snap to the top and bottom of a monitor in portrait mode? Everything I can seem to find suggests a different third party tool with example pictures from Vista or something similarly ancient.

I don't know how to bring up the solution I found on google again, but task manager pops right up after removing the feedback hub and I have no idea why. I have to keep Task Manager running at all times or the System Interrupts task consumes 100% cpu. I've also noticed that the feedback hub often uses a lot of cpu for no reason. Might try removing it completely to see if that helps. The best part of my situation is that System Interrupts will happily use 100% and make the system sluggish as he'll, but as soon as you open Task Manager it stops doing that. So I just keep TM running all the time now.

There are a bunch of troubleshooting things you can try including windows store app troubleshooter reset the windows store use powershell to reinstall built-in apps and when those don't work you can start manually poking at poo poo like deleting the directory it's hung up on yourself. ...or you can just install xnview or ifranview to look at your photos and not deal with this bullshit. Just be thankful it's only the photos app that's hosed up and not the start menu or taskbar.

At home it's not so bad, but on those underpowered miniature desktops they have in every office apparently 10 is disgustingly slow at various basic tasks compared to the handful of 7 boxes we still have in use. Like, just opening up the clock panel has a second's worth of delay instead of being instantaneous like it should be and how it generally used to be. It's such a step back overall from 8, which for all its UI nightmares to its eternal credit, was super fast and responsive thanks to Microsoft's efforts to make it as responsive as possible for tablet use. Everything felt snappy. The start menu especially I never saw be laggy not once - the only bit of delay it had was the short animation it played when opening and I think even that could be disabled. Good luck relying on the Windows 10 start menu to not just randomly decide it'll take five seconds to open this time for no reason.

I've never had any of those problems you're describing and I don't think I just have good luck with computers. We use mini desktops in our office and they're all i5 and 16 gigs of RAM with m.2 drives. Extremely fast and good.

MS has built a few core parts of the user experience out of their fragile appx poo poo, and I'm just fed up with it. Right now if I take any updates the taskbar & actioncenter stop working, because I get a similar problem to It's Coke but it's Microsoft.Windows.ShellExperienceHost that shits itself. I am honestly thinking about switching to god drat linux. Between hearing good things about games under linux running closer to 100% speed than ever, and the stuff about AMD chips having really good VM abilities, I'm real tempted. I've done linux desktop before, I know how frustrating that can be. But at least with linux if I spend a week making a piece of poo poo sound driver work, it stays working. GreenNight posted:I've never had any of those problems you're describing and I don't think I just have good luck with computers. The poo poo is a complete bugfuck mystery, you can google about start menu being broken and there are threads like clockwork on MS's technet. They know it's a problem and they can't fix it. I had problems 2 years ago that had me tearing out my hair, then 1709 came out and the OS upgrage fixed everything. No issues for 2 years, and now a different bit of the core UI has died. There's no rhyme or reason to it.

Ha, I fell into the apparently-classic trap of “remove old unused secondary HDD from PC, whoops turns out that drive had essential boot files” Sounds like creating a recovery USB on another PC should do the trick, though; does the OS version make a difference in terms of making a compatible recovery disk? The affected PC is 1903 while the other is a 1809 that hasn’t received the upgrade prompt yet.

Im really unhappy with how bloated and controlling windows has become. I am pretty much a path of least resistance kind of computer guy.. to a point. I guess not to the point of using Macs. lol. I do feel like linux is in my future, and I use it here and there. I really wish some company would through some resources behind a good gui. A really actually well thought out gui. I know, i know, linux is all about choices.

What's actually happened to Windows? Even on a clean install with few apps installed that are deeply embedded, why is the Start menu of all things still unreliable? Why is this getting worse? We should essentially be in a Service Pack level of increasing reliability and performance.

Jesus crap fart this loving company. As much of a pita it is, I'm never doing an update again without imaging the OS drive first (unless it's just defender definitions). I've even been contemplating a return to 8.1. My main reason for wanting to move to 10 was dolby atmos for headphones, actually, but now I have HeSuVi. Cross-Section posted:Ha, I fell into the apparently-classic trap of “remove old unused secondary HDD from PC, whoops turns out that drive had essential boot files” This is why I never fresh install with any other drives attached. Hell, as stupid as MS can be even upgrading with any other drives present might be a risk.
