Sneaky 523am reminder windows icons flicker

Do you ever say to yourself.. Gee whiz.. why are the icons on the taskbar always flickering in windows 10????

wait..... i know the answer..
windows performs a redraw of the icons when a SHChangeNotify call is made to shell32, specifically either SHCNE_ASSOCCHANGED or SHCNE_UPDATEIMAGE, as outlined here: docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/desktop/api/shlobj_core/nf-shlobj_core-shchangenotify

This looks like shit and its amazing this issue persists. Now take a look at microsoft 'support' forums. Ouch.. here's a complaint about the issue from 2009 (LOL, 10 years ago) 'Taskbar Flickering constantly. How do I make it stop?'. A more recent one has a Top answer from windows Expert 'A. User' suggesting to run 'sfc /scannow' to solve the problem!

no one is behind the wheel of the ship at the windows division of microsoft, or even microsoft in general. really sad stuff

I never new about the issue because I don't use pinned icons, I use a quick launch bar.

Why do you care so much about this? Are you autistic?

I was unaware that it is autistic to be annoyed by distracting and objectionable graphical bugs.

Seriously what the fuck are you talking about?

Glad we've got a teenager here to say "Works on my machine". Thank you for your contribution.

OP, where do you see Windows in 10 years?

Ikr

Empty the recycle bin.

I swear that happens on Windows 7 as well. MS are retards.

"doesn't work on my machine" is equally as much of a contribution
if I cared this much about all the graphical bugs in every linux distro i've used i'd never get anything done

>windows Expert 'A. User' suggesting to run 'sfc /scannow

Fucking hell, taskbar issues aside, Microsoft should nuke those forums from orbit. The "Experts" that are literally indistinguishable from a bot (after all, they only have one answer to every question) are embarrassment to the entire brand.

That'd be a good response to a bug report.

Never knew this, but then again I use LTSB and never seen it happen myself.

not on my mahcien

It doesn't. Eat shit and die, you stinky pajeet.

This is LTSB1607.

my favorite windows bug is that, if an application is in focus and is locked up, the titlebar buttons and taskbar stop responding until you alt-tab away.

it never occurred to microsoft that you could consolidate certain incoming WM_ events into a single one, and that clicking the close button should just terminate a misbehaving app after a couple hundred milliseconds rather than waiting forever for it to start consuming events.

nvm

It does this to me too, but it also indexes all my porn just fine for some reason.

A close contender of mine.

laff

They make millions off of this quality.

What does "sfc /scannow" do? I never did anything in-depth with windows

Checks the intergity of some files. Although sometimes it fails even on a clean system due to Microsoft not properly updating the hashes database after updates.

thats the default configuration of windows 10

Why exactly does it matter?

Nothing. It has literally never fixed any problem in the history of windows.

Just use a 120Hz monitor and you won't notice the flickers

Works on my machine OP

Windows 8.1 doesn't have this problem ))

Nope, windows 7 is literally the best thing that microshit has ever done. Literally everything else is shit. Vista, 8, 10 even their surface series we're all crap, even their phones. All their forum verified expert faggots are all using copy pasted textbook answers that don't even answer your question and I think they delete actual answers from people that post workarounds that they were unaware of.

*were

Dude if you use that launch bar please make the taskbar smaller

nobody uses #! or bunsenlabs in 2018 anymore grandpa, we have dedicated image viewer programs now and dont need the wallpaper for that

Same, yet I don't have it?
