Windows 10 - the most po[CENSORED]r operating system

[Angrry.exe™]

Windows 10 has officially become the most po[CENSORED]r desktop operating system in the world. In Romania, Windows 7 may still have a few percent advantage, but globally, the new variant of the system created by Microsoft is in power, and a considerable part of the po[CENSORED]tion has only a headache because of this. And what does Microsoft do to solve their problems? It is pretended that these problems do not exist.

Last month, an open letter came to the Internet from Microsoft highlighting the problems facing the Windows 10 operating system. The letter was written by Susan Bradley, a person with nearly two decades of experience managing OS updates. on the Enterprise segment, recognized as an MVP by Microsoft itself. It was not written by a random person or a frustrated user. It's up to a person who has sat down and answered several thousand high-profile Enterprise users to see if Microsoft handles updates for Windows 10 or not. The answer was a resounding no. Microsoft then decided to respond to this open letter ... without responding. The company did not address the fact that the updates are terrible, but only issued the standard release that Windows 10 is a completely different operating system than the old generation, that there are no longer optional updates that users can choose, that everything is done. be a single unitary system that is constantly progressing. The key issue, that the updates are faulty, was not addressed.

So I thought we would take a short trip through history and watch how Windows 10 evolved from a total lie to a full-blown wreck.

I'd like to start with my idiocy. I'm not sure what hit me, but by 2014, I was beginning to think what Microsoft is saying about Windows and DirectX 12. Maybe it was because of that wallpaper with a ninja cat riding a tyrant. It seemed as if the operating system was made by people, not by a semi-malicious entity that has no understanding of the needs of its users, as with Windows 8. The company was claiming that Windows 10 would be an operating system. which everyone has to go through, because it is much different from previous generations. For this reason they offered free upgrades. Everything is taken from scratch, maintaining legacy support for old programs on every corner, but changing the operating system so much that it is no longer compatible at a fundamental level with the old variants. It's beyond Windows 7, beyond Windows 8, it's something new. And because of this news, DirectX 12 can only work here ... it had to be an alarm, because Microsoft said the same thing with DirectX 10 on Vista, and the world managed to port it to Windows XP. That's right, Vista was a massive leap from XP, with Microsoft somehow managing to destroy any sound card when it removed DirectSound from DirectX on an unwanted table.Not everyone thought Windows 10 was going to be the future, but not everyone wanted to use the upgrade option. This is when Microsoft started to get really crazy. Stories of how the world woke up with the PC in the middle of an operating system update, though they said not repeatedly, were at every turn. I know there are some of you who will say that you never had this problem, it's from them, not from Windows. Eh, it was from Windows, Microsoft doing really sinister things, things that two decades ago would have been the case for another round of government investigations, as happened with Internet Explorer. When you press X, or "don't go" you would think that the buttons would do what the buttons would normally do, instead of being a "yes, but waiting for the PC to leave the sucker".As the updates progressed, more of the old interface began to be "upgraded", with parallel settings, often incomplete, that still didn't quite do what the original did. That's why you now have two uninstall screens, and only the old one can find the option to uninstall everything. Remember Folder Options? It does not have a modern equivalent, and is buried now the hell knows where. Then we have the new sound setting. The old one is still there, it's still there, and it's still needed, because when you have multiple sound outputs, say speakers, an HDMI monitor, and a gaming USB headset, Windows will somehow decide that default doesn't mean default. So it will leave the sound of a game on the speakers, but the voice chat somehow stays on the gaming headset or monitor that you have no speakers or headphones attached to. So in Rainbow Six Siege you can suddenly wake up hearing what the world is saying. Prior to this update, the problem did not exist. Default meant Default. Not to mention the welcome screen that must be disabled in group policies if you have the Pro version of the operating system, and how horrible the pop-ups at the Action Center are.
The key issue is that these updates do not work for most users. It is not practical to wake up that the PC restarts to be updated only because Windows has decided that it can do so without noticing. Microsoft is now turning to Machine Learning to learn when to be able to make these updates, instead of letting the user decide or simply say NO. And many people would like to say NO because the updates are faulty. Frequently they will ruin not only compatibility with common applications, but with their own features of Windows 10, leading to malfunctioning shortcuts or a UAC that is not disabled either. Much, much worse than this is that users frequently wake up with malfunctioning systems, severe stability issues and perpetual disasters. Perpetual because I can't say NO to that update that still wants to install, even if it ruins your PC. And all this because Microsoft, a $ 835 billion company, fired in 2014 its in-depth testing team for updates, based on the user community, the Insider Ring, knowing that the fairy tale will escape, because you have no choice. If you are on Windows, it means that you use applications that will only work on Windows. You do not have the option to switch to another operating system, otherwise you would have done this for a long time. Microsoft produces big updates too often, with only a few relevant changes, but with enough changes that their testing cannot be completed until they are released. The concept of validation has taken it completely down the road.
