Jumping through the cancelled windows rabbit hole, we also have windows Neptune, which wasn't actually cancelled, just made into XP (codename Whistler). Windows Longhorn was also cancelled but it was technically just a beta version of Windows Vista.
I've been using windows 11 and I've definitely noticed a noticeable decrease in lag in the OS. this would make more sense since windows 11 is what windows 10x came out of, and windows 10x has removed some of the bloat. it's almost like the windows 9 became 10 sorta thing but moved up a generation.
@@plasma8321 Windows 11 has been able to be updated to from Windows 10 through the insider program for almost 2 months now, I'm also running it and for me it runs the same as Windows 10
I think it would be cool to see a Windows 11 lite though where it would be a simplified/optimized version of windows 11 that would run on devices like chromebooks. Like windows 10X.
@@cnr_0778 i want to squeeze more performance out of my laptop but the problem is Linux is so different from windows that it would be hard to switch and Linux is like harder to use or smth and idk if it has all the features i want
@@Xnoob545 The most important question is what you are going to do with your system? Simple office work? Linux is perfect for you. Gaming? That could get a bit tough depending on the games your playing.
Same, windows 10X was something I was waiting on for a full year since I saw thio's 10X video in 2019. Since that didn't work, I just skipped it and upgraded to win 11. Still, its heartbreaking to see an actual good version of windows just get cancelled so easily...
It would have been nice to have a proper running OS for those walmart cheapo laptops with 4GB RAM 64GB EMMC storage laptops instead of forcing them to run full windows 10 with no means to upgrade anything on the machine.
Do you think Windows 11 would include the dual-screen possibilities that Windows 10X used, for example: - Possibility to rotate between portrait and landscape. - The changes to the bottom screen when the keyboard is used. - Apps splitting their information over the two screens when maximised in portrait mode. Honestly, I'd hope it would, given that Windows 11 is built off of Windows 10X.
Windows 10 21H2 will be a minor update - build 19044. (21H1 is 19043). Since Windows 11 was announced, Microsoft has stopped releasing weekly insider preview builds of Windows 10 which is why it is thought Windows 10 won't get any more major feature updates. Especially now that Microsoft is working on Windows 11
6:03 I think this file explorer is just the basic version of the windows file explorer because when you try to use a custom background on the xbox one x (which also uses the windws core) you will see a similar User Interface.
Basically, Windows 10x and Windows 10 Sun Valley Update got together and had a baby: Windows 11 lol I am disappointed as I was looking forward so much for Windows 10 sun valley. My computer is so old, I can't upgrade to Windows 11...
With the small detail that the Pre-Reset Longhorn actually was the Ultimate Windows experience (especially Build 4074), and some Longhorn features have never been implemented again in Windows
Most antiviruses have only features already provided by windows defender, while im sure this will trigger thiojoe, you dont really need a third party antivirus
It's to bad they canceled 10X. I liked the idea of a ChromeOS Windows Alternative. Something that can compete with Chrome in schools and for people who want something light and simple especially if it can use full Office. I could have seen myself getting one for writing when I'm out and about instead of getting an expensive (or cheaply made inexpensive) laptop.
Although this comment is late, they should make a version of Windows 11 called “Window 11 lite” that removes all of the security and “stuff” requirements to avoid e-waste (I.e. with some features such as Quad apps running at once removed, to keep it fare)
Also in my school those chrome books will not last a day because of one how cheap they are and two of where I live the two main operating systems are macOS and windows, chrome os doesn’t have a chance
A school I'm working at has a smart display that is running Windows 10X (I think). It's very similar to what you had shown in this video, extremely barebones and you can't even access the Task Manager. However, I'm unsure which version it's running as the Start menu is a lot different (opening it fills the whole screen with a list of apps, similar to Windows 10 style) and the Edge browser is still the old one.
That file explorer is also on Windows 10 and Windows 11. It’s hidden. It comes from Windows Phone. I have used this exact file explorer on my Nokia Lumia 830 back in 2016.
idk why but they should of did somthing like in windows 10 you enable tablet mode and it iwll automatically go to windows 10x and if you want to disable it you go to the action centre and click on disable tablet mode which brings you back to windows 10 so technically its like a switch

@@mrcxlinux ok but in a way the changed everything to the name Vista right after the reset. So in a way u cud say it was canceled tho its absolutely wrong
10X file explorer was just the file explorer app from Windows 10 mobile you weren't going to have the ability to access the whole file system in 10X Each app would have a limited virtualized filesystem they could access for security isolation.
My phone no longer lets me scroll in the search bar left or right to verify if I am on the right page since the latest update, instead now when I try to scroll left or right it will now ONLY magnify the words and I cannot scroll. Please help, I hate this.
Why Microsoft take things we love and make them bad for no reason with out anyone complain for it to be changed Like the start menu location never heard anyone complain about and yet they changed it And the Mac excuse doesnt apply since user wanting a Mac like start menu prefer Mac over PC
