I seriously hope microsoft fucking goes under and everyone has to begin to use linux, i'm tired of playing under their rules and how they love to fuck you about and steal anything they can from you, not to mention how shitty their operating systems are, they don't even fucking work half of the time!
>Be me >Win10 machine is fucking slow cause thanks microsoft for installing shitty bloatware and random "updates" when i don't want them >Decide to do reset >back up important files, takes about 2 hours >go to reset >half way through >"THERE WAS A PROBLEM RESETTING YOUR PC!" After trying to do so much to fix their shitty OS i gave up.
inb4 "use linux then dumbass" I would use linux if 90% of the things i used weren't exclusively for Windows..
I've been stuck in update hell because of the Fall Creator's Update. It would attempt to install this update, forcibly reset my computer, then the update will fail and it will perpetuate the cycle indefinitely.
I still havn't completely solved the issue but at least I've been able break the windows updater after scouring the web for a fix so all it'll do is occasionally tab me out to let me know that it's broken. It's midly annoying but a step up from the long dick of Bill Gates pushing my power button without my consent.

Bill gates hasn't been in charge of windows or Microsoft in a decade.

Specifically about Windows 10, I cannot FATHOM the purpose of the fast startup feature, but this stupidity goes back to Vista days XP: Start -> Shutdown ACTUALLY SHUTS DOWN YOUR GOD DAMN COMPUTER Vista: Start -> Power Button PUTS YOUR COMPUTERS TO SLEEP BY DEFAULT 7: Start -> Shutdown ALRIGHT THEY FIXED IT 8/8.1/10 defaults: >hit the button clearly labelled "Shut down" >closes your applications >logs you off your account >puts computer into hibernation mode This is the dumbest shit ever. This leads to long fucking uptime because the computer rarely properly restarts. I easily see computers all the time with 40+ day uptime because of this "feature" So what is their excuse for it? "To speed up boot times". Supposedly because then it can do one sequential read of the hiberfile into RAM as opposed to randomly reading a lot of small files, so it's faster.
Except it's not. The downside is what I just described and the below: "I have a slow CPU" -- yea, I'd rather have my computer do a FUCKING PROPER REBOOT each time then. Fuck this hibernation crap making my computer buggier and buggier. " I have a fast CPU" -- ok then I don't give a fucking shit about boot times because they're fast as shit anyway
Fuck this stupid design choice. Fuck you microsoft.
Liam Garcia
Oh and not to mention that hibernation mode completely fucks being able to mount the filesystem offline. God dammit I hate this shit.
Levi Butler
Most people prefer 10 second boots to 2 minutes.
Gabriel Kelly
Except it isn't 2007 anymore. If your computer still takes 2 minutes to boot, you either need to upgrade your hardware or seriously nuke your OS
Nathaniel Hall
My computer took 20 seconds to boot in 2007 since I wasn't dumb enough to run Vista.

>be me >buy windows 8.1 for $20 less then windows 10 >immediately upgrade for free before seeing the desktop >have zero major issues
the only "problem" I have is that start>power>shut down actually hibernates the pc so I use the physical power button even though I've disabled hibernation
this is my problem too. I have an ssd so a cold boot takes ~20 seconds. it has gotten slightly longer with each update

fuck you linux cunt.. even linux guy still need microsoft.
Easton Wright
muahahahahaha are you retard?
Cameron Gomez
You sound like my boss. While MS isn't going away, you can certainly do everything you need to on a computer -- albeit with compromise -- without any Microsoft software running on your hardware.
Nathaniel Cooper
your boss is a pajeet? that's sad

I have a win10 ltsb computer that I use whenever I need to run sibelius, ableton, CAD, and the few games I play. It crashes whenever I unplug a usb device, and is constantly reverting changes I make to it.
Logan Young
>need to allow a program to make changes to a computer every time you start a program >But programs can set things to open at boot without prompting The system gives you the option to take it off when it detects it anyway so why not ask beforehand instead?
Gabriel Morris
Stop being such a fucking tech illiterate faggot.
Evan Harris
My mother's PC had 120 days uptime. Surprised it was still running okay. She said things would crash every so often though.
Dunno about you but I change the default option in the start menu on 7 to sleep because it's faster than shutting down/starting. Hibernation is retarded though in nearly every case.

Seems like a 3rd party driver problem. Not even kidding. I've had that. Maybe power management? If it's a laptop or portable.

This was a Win10 professional license. I am actually really fucking hesitant about using this OS for anything anymore. I just need powerpoint and excel and word for school and work. I don't want to use it for anything else.
>build new computer >use ssd from old computer >it boots up windows with no hitch
this really surprised me. figured I would have to reinstall. I did the clean wipe thing so I wouldnt have driver issues though

I use Windows 7 and everything works.
Its been almost 9 years since the release and most software are still compatible luckily
After installing it needs some small tweaks like disabling windows search, windows update and system restore.
Wish I could use classic theme without screen tearing tho.
Most things are compatible because nobody in microsoft knows how to change the kernel dramatically without the whole operating system imploding on itself
Jaxson Ward
I used to disable the windows update service and enable it when I want to update, but it doesn't work anymore. If I disable the service it is automatically re-enabled after some time. It is really annoying that they don't give the option to choose when you want to update anymore, it's like they deliberately make things harder for people, it is really annoying that when you want to shut down your pc there may or may not be some update on the way. Same goes when turning the pc on, there might be some update on the way even though you may need to get something done and there's nothing you can do about it.
Also, the random spikes in cpu usage. Sometimes when I'm just doing something really lightweight on my laptop the fan suddenly becomes really loud and when I look at the task manager there is some botnet.exe or whatever using a really large chunk of cpu power. It is really annoying. Also the amount of bloatware is just unacceptable.
This operating system is just a huge steaming pile of pajeets poo, and it gets worse every update. If I didn't need one application that doesn't have a linux version to work reliably, I would definitely switch over.
