I love how a windows update brings existential dread hoping that something isn't broken when it's finished.
IKR!!!! spends an hour saying updating only to reboot to have it fail so bad ITS SOO BAD lol
Right? Every time I tense up.
Oh, and the inevitable black screen on boot...nothing on screen, but it's actually updating, leaving you wondering if anything IS actually happening......I don't even get a HDD light flickering..Uuuuugggggg
IDK how but I actually have fewer issues on Windows Insider Builds than their actual stable releases....
I had to reinstall my graphics driver.
question is there a windows update that causes your nvme ssd to disappear till you shut the system down total power down and then when you power it back up the drive reappears is that caused by some windows 10 glitch? cause it's so damned weird
Remember when Microsoft said that Windows 10 wouldn't require a reboot anymore to implement updates? Pepperidge Farms remembers.
Could you link to an article or vid where Microsoft claimed that?
Google is your friend. Windows 10 came out in 2015 and there's no way I can remember the URLs for all of the websites that reported this six years ago.
And you'll never ever get old and you'll never ever die. Diabetes.
@@bmh67wa I didn't find anything about it on Google. Stop spreading misinformation.
Wait until the day when a company like Amazon releases a Linux Distro actually designed for mainstream use and advertised to the masses. Windows has been broken for too long...
They also keep shifting shit around for no particular reason. Every update something disappears from the control panel and goes somewhere else completely random. If I'll be forced to re-learn how to use this bastard system then I might as well use Linux.
until you want some decent webcam software, or you want to use basically any 2-in-1 printer, or world of warcraft, or... etc.
Id be on linux in a second if you didnt have to do some command line dos-like hacksaucing to install graphics drivers, annd then have to put v-sync on for the operating system in mint because they creators enjoy tearing :))
I still prefer the old control panel the UWP settings menu is stupidly confusing sometimes and is hard to navigate.
@@captain_sp33dy doesn't really matter as they are trying to replace it with something completely inferior I just really hope they don't make it harder to access in the next versions of Windows 10 as I heard from the grapevine that on some newer insider builds control panel is no longer accessible the normal way and you need to muck around the registry to get it back.
You can NEVER find what you want easily. It's like Microsoft are telling people to be Stupid and to never learn anything about using the Control Panel Access.
Removing Control Panel, at this stage, just isn't an option for those who want get stuff done and not spend an hour trying to find something or a setting.
There's something that I honestly think is hilarious.
When a program freezes / crashes / grinds to a halt so hard that it changes the window borders to the Windows 7 / Vista style.
Literally on the spot.
I also find that hilarious 🤣 every time I'm like damn don't work yourself too hard Win10 you looking aged lmao
There's a big reason why this happens. The "modern" look that you're seeing is opt in, customized stuff defined by the App, not the OS. When it freezes (as in, the application stops responding to messages being pushed by the OS, such as drag, click for 4 seconds), the OS knows that the application cannot offer the capabilities to the user to do anything, such as exit. Therefore, the OS steps in and renders the default borders which offers OS level capabilities to terminate, rather then application capabilities. Of course, remember that Windows is super backwards compatible, so some stuff, like the default borders and such can NEVER change, like ever. It's up to the application to define the non-default behaviours. When this stops working, the OS just steps in and shows the default behaviour to allow the user to exit a non-response app
I suspect it relay is just the old UI with a new UI glued on top each time is see Vista peek back at me.
Vista never left us,
@@bertugolu yea the compatibility with old games via the compatibility settings is the hole reason i finally had to let go of xp and do win 10 but these really took a wile to get as good as they r now but i will say win 10 if you know what your doing can play any game from win 98 days on pretty easy and earlier if your patient
windows 10 is the best os to for exploring a new linux as a replacement. kinda like IE was the best browser for downloading a better one.
I'm personally a fan of Manjaro(Arch the easy, and sane way, and my main daily Linux OS) with MATE Desktop Environment(a good combo of lightness, and usability), Mint DE(Debian Edition as it's stable, and free of Ubuntu), and Neverware Cloudready OS Home Edition(Chromium OS for when I need a system that updates itself, for a user who only needs a basic PC, and for very young kids as there is not much they can mess up).
@@CommodoreFan64 I agree. I too use Mint and Manjaro because they're very user friendly. I play games all the time on Linux distros and have been since childhood. With the introduction of Proton we're very close to being able to seriously compete with Windows as a gaming OS. If only anti-cheat would be compatible with Wine and DRM wouldn't cause that many issues. That'll be the day!
Ever since Microsoft got rid of their QA/QC teams, W10 has been a nightmare to deal with. Every update breaks something. EVERY. UPDATE. And they keep removing features that we rely on, sometimes to fix the stuff that they break. And it's becoming so bloated that it runs like garbage on older machines.
When basic things like printers no longer work there needs to be reform, but they've essentially got a monopoly and the lobbying money not to break up.
i never had ANY issues with any updates on 8 machines of mine...so i really have no idea what people are doing wrong
Windows 10 doesn't even work on the computer my job gave me lmao.
Every month it'll either crash or something will happen where I get kicked out while still doing work on it
I read a recent news that in the latest update. Anytime you press print will cause BSOD.
My biggest loss was when WIndows Movie Maker was deleted....It was perfect for making short movies.
Does your company have an IT department or contract out IT services? If so, don't just stay quiet and angry about your computer's performance while doing nothing about it. Tell them! I promise you there is a solution to your computer's crashes.
@@brokeandtired maaybe kdenlive would work for you?
@@50PullUps I had a customer who destroyed the audit trails in sage accounting software because the pc kept in crashing so but didn't tell me right away (it was bad ram stick) and they hey tried doing the month end accounts and the software wouldn't return a report due to corrupted audit trail, even sage couldn't fix it so they had to re-enter 3 weeks of invoices (at least they had backups)
Great Video. Hello from Russia. We love win XP and 7 and Linux
how's it going with getting Putin out of office? =D
@@criznittle968 put in Putin.)
The control panel fuckery is really the worst. At least the start menu I can fix by adding/removing what I want, but I'm always having to search for things I use all of the time (sound and game controller settings) that were easily accessible in Windows 7, and are now hidden in Windows 10.
I totally use the Win10 start menu tiles, I just put my own apps there that I don't need all the time but still need often enough that making them easier to access makes sense.
I actually like them too on 10. They were terrible on 8.
Idk man, I'm a gen z, experienced a bit of 98/7/8.1, but for me there's nothing wrong about win10, it's easy and almost automatic for me to use, most of the time.
Yeah but tbh, the search bar really replaced the start menu for me. Its so much easier to think of what I want to launch then search for it then launch it. Dunno if thats just years of googling doing me in though.
it's stable but the mandatory updates, that are very frequent, as well as the confusing layers of UI and system settings are fair complaints
@@johannsmith5697 Yeah it was also like this for windows 8 where there were the vestigial remains of classic windows then the jarring as fuck start menu with no start button till 8.1 because ??????
I always remove the widget gadgets tab from the Start menu
OMG .... your #3 . YES I HATE THER STORE, recently i had a huge problem, so i get a new pc all the parts, load it up and its been about 6 months since ive played on pc, so anyhow i go on the store and i remembered i bought a game Forza 4 horizon along with the DLCs so that added up to about 90$ lol and i also bought auction cars in game so like 120$ all together so i go to download it and it stated and the game is no longer carried in the Microsoft store so I'm like umm.. so i google it and i guess steam picked the game up and if i wanted it id have to go to steam so i thought lol so im the phone with tech support for ugh like 3 hours and I'm not letting this go i wanted this game and i payed and emailed receipts everything the guy was pretty stumped but yea.. in the end all it was, was a certain Microsoft driver update but i was sooo mad lol i really thought i just wasn't getting this game or refunded lol
I'm sorry, but I sure hope you speak a lot more coherently than you write your comments, because that was quite a journey to unravel that mess you just typed.
If you ran Windows Updates and then restarted your computer it's likely Windows would've automatically downloaded & installed the update you needed after having your computer off for 6 months, which is a very, very long time.
The thing I hate the most is when you move around a window for too long it minimizes EVERYTHING
You can turn that off called: areo shake. Just lookup that and do it via registry or the local gpo route. Either way.
Once Windows 10 quit out of a game and shut everything down so it could update. I lost my saved data and the footage I was capturing. It didn't even warn me. It just shut down.
Also, sometimes messages pop up while I'm playing a game and it ruins the footage.
those problems are settings that you can adjust. Windows does not just update without warning, you probably got the warning before and simply forgot about it. Windows will go several days after the waring before it forces the issue. Some updates are not avoidable if you have it set to check for updates on its own. Point is, your situation is preventable just by going into the settings and making the proper changes.
sometimes it depends on the file format, if its an mp4 i think, if windows crashes, then the file is lost
Sry i made use of the tile start menu very useful maybe i dont use all of MS apps but its useful ie checking the weather and most times in my experience it Just WORKS!
ChromeOS is essentially Linux without freedom, the same as Android. The anti-Linux feelings come from Linux not having any marketing, and the only Linux users you are likely seeing are those pro users who are doing all the harder things Linux allows you to do.
i know i like linux ,but it's not fully usable for me
@@jay-gi9dk Only reason to use Windows is if you must use certain software that only Windows has, where you also need 100% performance so you can't virtualize and use it at 80%, or if you are mostly a gamer.
But I have heard this same thing with SO many people who finally migrated to Linux and they were kicking themselves for not doing it sooner.
The hard part is the migration, as everything in Linux seems worse when you come from Windows, as you have been trained to think certain way. I had been using Linux since 2002 but finally when my new Windows laptop was staying in RMA for months, I just started using Linux for everything. Later I couldn't stand Windows anymore and things I hated in Linux originally were now things I absolutely loved about.
@@juzujuzu4555 i want to work with my computer NOT work on my computer fixing shit
@@joalex79 yup thats why i use linux😂had only problens with windows
@@joalex79 And that's exactly why I use Linux and why you should too. It's also the reason why all servers are Linux, why Android and ChromeOS are Linux, why Linux is on the Mars and International space station and on all of the top 500 supercomputers.
I installed Linux for my 70yo mother because I was fed up fixing his Windows problems on the phone. After the initial week or so she hasn't needed my help ONCE in the past 4 years.
And also she doesn't need to use antivirus etc. nor update anything, as all the software, OS updates, security updates, drivers and firmware and new kernels come automatically. Though you can select no automatic updates too.
TimmyJoe, You probably already know this but: CLASSIC SHELL is an awesome app that let's you replace the WIndows 10 Start Menu with a fully configurable Win7 or Win 8 Start Menu. I've been using it since Windows 10 was released because I absolutely HATE the Win10 Start Menu.
Linux, it gives you total freedom, and it certainly is MUCH more user friendly than Windows. Changing just requires some learning. Also the amount of games that doesn't work is insignificant. With new kernel 5.12 even the worst anti-cheat software can be made to work on Linux.
After you finally switch to Linux and learn it, you will wonder why the hell you suffered Windows so long.
Yeah nah ill switch when Linux can you can run any program from the last 5 years without a hassle
I've have a personal laptop that I use for personal and for remote work and it's on Ubuntu Mate right now. It's been pretty solid (the only time it would break was when I was customizing it and tweaking certain things). I've got some games on it and it works well. LogMeIn doesn't have native support so I use Teamviewer (which does) to remote into my work computer.
@@KermenTheFrog I haven't had any hassle as everything updates automatically on the background couple of times a week. No restarts forced.
So if to take that literally, you would rather suffer with Windows if there's even 1 software that causes problems with Linux? And there's no software problems with Windows? Or the whole OS breaking problems with updates.
I get that people don't want to change, and well, no one wants to work, but these sort of excuses are just stupid.
@@MaxDad7 Linux gives you total freedom to also screw up the OS. But usually that requires quite risky things. With normal usage Debian and thus Ubuntu based distros are rock solid. Though I think any popular distro is really solid nowadays, even the rolling release distros, at least if you update them regularly.
@@KermenTheFrog what programs do you mean, all the once you aren't using? or any specific program?
Win7 over win 10 all day (win7 is not supported anymore but you will never get updates anymore ) :)
late vista was more ergonomically functional, aka less double menus; than we deal with now.
Honesty windows 7 sucks. I flip used pc’s and get some garbage thrown in occasionally that is to underpowered for windows 10. So I install windows 7 instead. Takes so much time to get that updated and ready. Have to solve multiple errors every install I do. Then windows won’t updates then there something with the WiFi and so on. Windows 10 is so ez to set up. Install, update it and done.
@@sijedevos2376 just download an iso that has all the upades for win 7 included...
Agree.. and as long as you have some A/V running you're fine anyway
@@sijedevos2376 You can get a updated iso and oem iso's for oem pc's
jup windows made me use linux
The most irritating thing:
When you can't connect to the internet because drive problems or something when you do a fresh install, you try to connect to the internet by using help or debug and.. message appears.."Please connect to the internet for help" 🤔
Windows 10 comes with an Ethernet and WiFi driver that's so widely compatible it's genuinely difficult to find a machine that won't know what to do with it. If you're deploying Windows to a computer that straight-up can't establish network connectivity then that's the fault of the hardware manufacturer, not Microsoft.
Out of curiousity, could you share the brand of computer / motherboard you're installing Windows on that refuses to get online?
Or when Windows Home tells you to contact your system administrator...on the HOME edition.
@@HikingWithCooper it's a pre built in string for all versions of windows, even starter. it's there because home is not just used in homes, it's used all over the place for a windows version that doesn't have RDP, and all those advanced features like maybe a public computer at a library or in a school, or maybe even a simple kiosk where it can just be directly controlled from the kiosk it self without even opening the kiosk at some points.
Linux is more user friendly than Windows. The only thing linux users are waiting for is for the gaming developers to make games for linux, or even get Easyanticheat to work with wine, and steams proton. However most games will still work fine with linux with proton
Linux lacks some essential Software like "search everything" or Infranview and it lacks file explorer features out-of-the box like a search bar in the browser when you wanna save a file
Linux tbh much easier to use than few years ago
It's amazing how so many judge Linux. The past 2 years alone there have been big changes. More features are coming out with every release.
for almost a year the store said that I didn't own the game
God that pisses me off mine does that for some games something about a cache issue its a bitch to fix
Timmy Joe obviously hasn't used any current Linux OS. I used Windows until Microsoft stopped supporting security updates for Windows7. Now I dual-boot Windows7 and Linux on my desktop pc (use LInux over 95%) and run Linux MX exclusively on a laptop. Linux was easier to install than Windows (all easy GUI). All my apps are 100% free in Linux including free office, graphics, video-editing, games, etc. I don't have to worry about Windows viruses and Linux includes excellent free firewalls and security updates (which don't mess up the pc like a lot of Windows updates). My computer never gets blue screen of death from Linux. Linux isn't perfect (some games incompatible), but what is? Overall, it's worth a try (considering it's 100% free and high quality)!
100% agree
I can say the same about windows , i never had any issues with it, installing it is super easy aswell... all my apps are free aswell and viruses can hit anyone , linux,macos or windows . oh and all games work!
@@SweatyFeetGirl BS ALERT!😂
@@johnsmith-gs4qf nope , its not bs.
You should try Linux before you hate on it. Linux Mint, Ubuntu, solus, elementary are some of the beginners distributions you can start with.
Manjaro, Zorin, Deepin, FerenOS should be considered as well
@@Wahinies agreed. But he needs to start with training wheels. 😂 😆 Lol
@@kevinpitts3548 i've worked for a non profit for seniors since 2005, and I've gotten more than a few clients over the years onto Linux, and one client who is turning 96 in a few months to use Manjaro Mate who was not a big computer user before she started at my senior center as one of my OG clients, so with that I think just about anyone can use Manjaro IMHO as it's even easier to update then Mint, and Ubuntu(don't get me started on that dumpster fire, as Canonical has killed it's goodwill with me) with Pacmac, with the AUR enabled for general software installs/updates, and Manjaro settings manager for Linux kernel updates making it all a breeze as they do all the work for you.
I blame the Nokia lumia hype for all this crap we deal with nowdays. If it wasn't for Microsoft fucking up Nokia to push forward the windows mobile then this wouldn't of happened to windows 10. It probably would of stayed the same as windows 7
I work with Printers and Copiers, mostly HP commercial line and Win10 loves to install the printers on WSD ports which might work for a while then one day it'll just say printers offline or give some other odd message. I swear some machines I setup on IP address ports have later changed back to a WSD port. I'm assuming an update did that & I know other brand printers have been setup on WSD ports as well so don't think it's an HP only thing with W10. I have found in Network sharing center (advanced sharing settings) unchecking the Turn on automatic setup of network devices helps, or so far it has.
I do use control panel as well for everything even changing printer settings, seems like less clicking needed.
If my grandma can use linux, you can too.
Since 2005 I've worked for a non profit dealing with seniors(mainly running a senior center in my small town, and meals on wheels), and I've gotten some of my clients on to Linux(Mint to be exact), and one of them is now turning 96 in a few months, and uses it on her Acer laptop daily. for other clients who need something way more simple I install Neverware Cloudready OS Home Edition(Chromium OS) on their hardware, and since I personally Switched to Manjaro MATE I've had a few switch with me as well from Mint, and all of them have been way more happy then on Windows 8/8.1/10.
I refused for the longest time to switch to Win 10-Malware Edition. I won't go into what I had to do to get Win 7 to work on a Ryzen Gen 1 launch week build. Uber pain in the ass. But worth it to not have to look at Win 10-Spyware Edition.
Everytime I open win explorer it‘s opening favorites and I just wanted to show me my PC and not my favs....
My dad had a Windows update happen right when he was in the middle of playing a game, and went into full recovery and reinstall.
I use Classic Shell for the start menu and control panel. I've never used the Microsoft store (Steam or bust).
There's also gog, epic, amazon, and several others depending on the type and era of game. there's even fan game subsection with games like pokemon uranium, along with a lot of projects that people upload on platforms like itch.io and old flash games ie newgrounds.
You're on pc, there's no reason to be faithful to one store front.
@@Azurath100 It's convenience for me. However GOG Galaxy is an ambitious attempt to help unify the mess of launchers.
@@TheNiteNinja19 I hope that project comes through.
Microsoft needs to start from the ground up and build a new version of Windows. Windows is built upon the old Windows NT backbone which is over 20 years old. They just keep modifying the old system and updating it. There's a lot of legacy crap in the background and lots of un necessary services and invisible crap bogging down Windows. They just need to make Windows have only what is needed to run your software running in the background.
Debloat script's are very good for this, not for faint hearted
@@Simon-vc1wk I've used debloat scripts and always tweak my new windows install but there's still a lot of background $h!t that you can't disable. I want a completely bare bones windows is that will still allow me to run the very few bits of software I need to run from time to time. But Microsoft sees fit to keep adding more and more features without giving us an option to disable them.
I ran into a problem where I was trying to activate Windows 10 but it would not work, I think because I had done one of their updates. It's crazy
Pssst, there is a solution to Windows10 problems, it is being called Linux. Most of your games (probably around 80%) will work without problems. For example, the last two days I played Rise of the Tomb Raider and Hollow Knight without any problem. A 100% flat framerendertime/FPS curve, high enough FPS (1440p very high+ settings for Rise of the Tomb Raider, usually 80-90 FPS, depending on the level and the part). If you need Windows, sure, but you can dual boot from two SSD's and just boot into Windows when you do need it. I don't even have Windows on my desktop anymore, I do have it on a laptop just for factors which are outside my control (education/work).
Timmy, if you ever are interested in trying out Linux I can help you to set it up. You are very much wrong about it not being user-friendly for gaming! Though there are a few small issues but outside gaming Linux is way more user-friendly than Windows10, I have a lot of experience with both.
@Timmy Joe PC Tech your way to go for fixes is Chris Titus tech tipps. Then you red rid of all that crap that is in the system , has more PS to use and less struggle to care =)
I was half expecting there to be a Chris Titus shoutout in the video. The only thing from Timmy Joe’s list is control panel vs settings but I think that’s just windows gonna window
and that's why win 10 is gone and my laptop is now working with linux mint.
Windows 10 is why all my main systems run Manjaro Mate, and my backup Lenovo Thinkpad models X130e, and X120e run Neverware Cloudready Home Edition(Chromium OS).
Roughly 98% of the top 500 most popular games of the past 20 years now run flawlessly on Linux .. so that argument is officially null and void
Try running older games from early 2000s then, it simply won't go smoothly
@@MJ-uk6lu lol I don’t think you know what you’re talking about.
Most of these things can be fixed within the first 3 minutes of installing a fresh version of windows.
The things that really bug me, are things you can't fix.
Multi monitor setups on Windows are the worst...
- Want your task bar tray icons on both screens? Nope.
- Want to change which side of your screen the notification panel appears on? Nope.
- Want to have a window show as always on top? Only with AHK scripts.
And they're just off the top of my head...
Movies/tv app is one of only two apps that I have found, in my extensive search, that plays back Dolby Atmos properly. The only other one is the VLC player in the Windows app store. Not even the stand alone VLC that you download from the VLC website plays back Dolby Atmos.
Also - I despise their new photos app. I found a registry tweak to restore the one from Windows 7 and use that.
start menu was like the highway to your computer.. start menu in windows 10 is a shanty town in a 3rd world country with just heaps of irrelevant crap and bloat.
"Pin to Start Menu" for all important programs
Linux updates are great. Never had one that broke anything. Still have to use SQL server for work though - and win X for the latest games.
jup and everything updates like programms, os and drivers its amazing
Good list! I use windows for gaming, and Linux mint for work / editing. I have an install of mint on an external nvme, so that I can work on any pc. If windows fixed the updates, I would probably use it for productivity more.
a search bar on windows 10, i never had that, its still on my no go list. you had to enable cortana and i am not doing that.
*My HUGE Pet Peeves about Windows 10...*
*1. Backup...* That they don't have the most BASIC Backup functions to keep files backed up/cloned on different drives and updated, and multi-version controls for those folders you want it on just pisses me off.
*2. Control Panel/New UI Migration...* Like you said, wtf... I get putting a new UI in, which isn't bad, but they actually have MANY functions MISSING from added Settings Functions for different things, so you have to dig for the old control panel to find them cause they aren't actually IN the new UI Settings. For example, they add "File Types"... When you can't even select a LOCAL program to have it be used to open a particular file type, you have to find control panel etc. to find the function. They ONLY allow you to open a file type with a Windows Store App, WTH!!!
*3. Start Menu...* It's better than it was, but they STILL haven't added the ability for when you install programs that it installs the "Main Program" Icon in the Tiles section, you have to move everything over MANUALLY, which is a big pain in the ***... But I agree, the old menu wasn't broken, it was fast and easy to find what you want. I don't mind the changed menu, if they actually made it WORK like the old way, aka fast and easy to use. Though, if I remember right I think one of the Start menu options in 8.1 was like the best. Also, I want to more easy view the "recent used" apps. The current way is kinda crap, and doesn't change, actually showing your most recent on top.
*4. Windows Update...* We ALL don't like this. I have to buy PRO from a cheap reseller for $20 to actually control my Updates again. Even non-technical people should be allowed to control their updates. What's worse is many computers are still using HARD DRIVES as the main drive, the cheap ones, and Windows Update plays absolute HAVOK on those systems. Massive slow bottlenecked systems.
*5. Stuff Running...* That doesn't need to be. Lots of processes/services etc. running that don't actually need to be, many can be activated manually if needed.
Anyway, I think those are the problems that most bug me...
*6. Oh, and wth did they remove Drive Mounting/CD Burning....?*
I get that CD Burning may not be as popular, but you can't Mount an ISO now and it still be mounted when restarting the computer, the Mounting/Viewing aka the Drive is GONE when you restart your computer. Using ISO's isn't just about "viewing/running" the contents, it actually needs to function LIKE a Drive!!!
One other thing.... *Windows Media Player* needs to be UPDATED, not removed.
There is basically NOT ONE other "ALL MEDIA Player/Viewer" out there, believe me, I've searched. At least, that's as clean/nice, easy to view things as WMP.
People don't realize how nice this program is... So, it doesn't need to be removed, it needs updating with a nice modern UI. It's internal display is almost perfect and shouldn't be touched save to improve as needed. One improvement that is needed for sure is for the MUSIC files, the "Name" of the song is "cut off/truncated"... This irritates the heck out of me. I thought there was a fix for it, but cant find it now.
BTW, if anyone has a suggestion on an ALL MEDIA Viewer/Player, I'm all ears....
They need to remaster Windows XP already, I'm dead serious. Windows 10 was a mistake.
it seems since Win 98SE every other version of Windows MS has released has been bad for example 98/98SE(all around good for it's time), ME( a huge dumpster fire unless you had specific hardware since it used more system resources then Win 98se, and they changed the driver stacks so a lot of hardware from Win 95/98 days did not have correct driver support), Win 2000(really good for business), Win XP - SP2 OG(a security nightmare), Win XP SP3(when it finally got really good), Win XP 64bit(almost no mainstream support so I give it a pass as it's not all MS's fault) Win Vista(Don't get me started on how long it took to make it usable disabling security BS), Win 7(one of the best MS ever made IMHO), Win 8(fucking hell Metro UI was bad), Win 8.1(it could be made usable), Windows 10(caused me to dump Windows after updates borked my system, deleted files off my main SSD, and pegged my system @ 100% usage doing nothing but sitting on the desktop, so I move to Linux finally settling on Manjaro Mate for my main distro, Chromium OS when I need something dirt simple, and Mint DE(Debian Edition) for the rare hardware like my 13in Mid-2012 Macbook Pro that just does not play well with Manjaro).

That is why I have two separate SSDs, one with Debian so when windows breaks (it's a matter of when, not if) I won't be totally screwed. "Linux gaming" is an oxymoron, but so is "windows is stable."
The last 4 major windows updates I had, every single time it broke something.
I just did a fresh install two weeks ago because I got so annoyed about the manny accumulated issues I couldn't find anywhere how to fix. Now it runs just fine. (Like it should have in the first place)
Lmfao, yeah everything MS makes is a broken, convoluted, buggy, piece of trash. This includes everything they make, including their consoles. Once more devs start using Vulkan instead of D3D, we will see many more games on linux. Speaking of which, Steams Proton works fairly well but still isn't as good performance for most games as running natively in windows.

One of the most terrible apps in W10 is default image Viewer - it's dead slow and lacks features in comparison to old app from W7.
I have to install IrfanView like we did classicshell in the 8 days
Settings menu - YES - Testify!!
List of win 10 derps and why I'm using win7 as main while waiting for win10 to reach beta. It's surprising that these things are still missing. Win7 naturally has all of these in perfect working condition. In no particular order:
1. Start menu pin whatever you want like shortcuts. Copy any of the shortcuts to any place on desktop or in other folders.
2. Freely reorganize pinned task bar shortcuts - like windows folders within win explorer shortcut on the taskbar.
3. Recently used folders automatically populate the recent list- like win7 did. As soon as you open a file in a folder X, folder X immediately populates the recent folders on the right click dialog of the windows explorer shortcut.
4. Simple to disable, never-bother-me-again as long as I don't explicitly tell you otherwise - kind of updates.
Before you think Im just that Linux user thats gonna rage on you for running Windows for your games I suggest you read the howl post.
I have been using Linux for 20+ years, Mostly Gentoo in fact so about as do it all manually as it gets,
So yea Linux is "my windows" kind of OS, Im use to it.
But like most I came from Windows 95/98, W2K all of that.
I also been installing, maintaining, using Windows systems when needed throughout those years.
In 2017 I think I gave up on "wine", basically wine was used to run Windows games or software in Linux, it had DX9 support, at 2017 that was just not good enough for anything remotely new in terms of games.
So I set up a Virtual Machine with "Pass-trough", if your Motherboard and CPU allows it you can let linux dedicate hardware to your Virtual machine.
So I hade a dedicated graphics card with its sound card, usb and network card dedicated to it.
Ran that up until early 2021.
But there are some problems, nvidia intentionally blocks this, you can work around it, AMD didn't block it but they seem to have started so same work around are needed, also newer drivers then 20.4 runs very slow on AMD cards.
So I decided to just try steam for Linux with Proton.
I mentioned wine, proton is Steams own version of Wine but its tuned to offer better support for games.
Nowadays wine/proton offers DX10-12 trough Vulkan.
I installed Linux Mint, then went to the steam website, downloaded the "linux" version, installed it just like you do with your windows version, once Steam was installed I logged in then I went to steam settings and "Steam play" and checked the box "enable steam play for all other titles"
That installs proton, downloads and installs it just like a game.
After that you can install and select play on any windows games.
I did build up a decent library with my 3 years on my Windows 10 gaming VM install.
So fare everything works, it just F-ing works!
So impressive to see how fare gaming has come on Linux in just 3 years!
Now if you ONLY play games and you have no reason to use linux, then by all mean use Windows 10, you can even use it for free, registering it is in fact not illegal not wont stop it from working.
But if your like me, I like to do other stuff to, a lot of it just works better for me under linux, the tools I want is there and gaming is like tha other half of what I do then running a suitable distro like Ubuntu, Mint or something like that with Steam works very well.
In fact the only real problem Im having is with Lutris and my AMD RX5700, lets just say AMD has more bugs and for any serious Linux Graphics oriented machine I would just stick with an Nvidia card, more features, drivers are fast and stable and if you do encoding the Nvec encoder kicks AMD cards so hard in the rear its not even funny, my GTX970 Nvec encoder just beats the vaapi encoder on my RX5700 so hard its not even funny, and you get Cuda on Nvidia cards, useful for blender and AMD dont even Offer OpenCL by default on the Opensoruce drivers.
Yea just pay the extra 20-50USD nvidia tax at the same Tier of card or go down a tier, you will have more fun that way overall.
Now if you DONT have every game on Steam then what do you do in Linux? Well if your like me and have most Mass effect games on Origin then there is a way for that to.
Lutris. Lutris is like a Launcher but with out the store part. It allows you to search for games and install them from other launchers so Origin, Steam, Wargaming, you name it.
You can even install the launchers them self so I just installed origin and I can now just start origin and install the windows games from it and origin once launched from my Linux Mint start menu just integrates in to my taskbar just like in windows and stays up to date to.
Now if you have Steam with Proton installed you can actually link proton to Lutris and set Lutris to use steams Proton version, Im trying that out now because like I sad the linux drivers for my RX5700 is well not the most stable once but there fast so when it works it works very well and there seems to be some stability issues with lutris version of wine and my card/driver, but I have none with Steams proton version of wine.
Also when Steam updates its experimental version of proton lutris gets the same update since they access the same versions, so one update to rule them both!
So fare I can play all my favorite games, Fallout 4, World of Warships, GTA 5, Halo Master Chief Collection, Witcher 3 just not mention a few I have tested.
And installing Linux Mint VS windows 10 is about the same difficulty, installing steam is about the same, enabling windows games on steam is one checkbox klick away, installing Lutris is more work, its basically read a guide, add there PPA (its a link to programs they offer so you Linux systems know about them if you want them isntalled) so you can install Lutris.
But Lutris is nice because you can create shortcuts yor your games or there launchers to your desktop or start menu, game launchers like Origin and Wargamings Game Center will integrate in the bottom right corner in your taskbar just like windows, so your game is updated and ready to go when every you are if thats what you want!
So is gaming on linux as convenient as it is on windows?
Will with ubuntu/Mint or similar distro and Steam I would say there basically the same.
If you have other launchers that you need outside of that Lutris is required and its not difficult to set up for anyone with more then 5 sec attentions but it IS an inconvenience so like I sad if gaming is all you do, Windows is fine and using the OS that fits you needs is what you should do!
One reason to stick with windows is if your gaming involves special Input devices, some joysticks and other input devices has only windows drivers so if your in to fligth sims, VR you might have to make sure there are drivers in linux for those devices and make sure they can do what you need.
I probably heave more machines with windows actually then Linux but all the primary modern systems run Linux because that fits my need.
But anyways Im super happy how smooth my games run under Linux with Steam and now Lutris, Fallout 4 just kicks ass compared to when I tried it on windows even with the same graphics card.
Im also in to retro hardware so Im still using DOS, Windows95, 98, Windows 2000, Vista even on my GTX295 rig!
Im pretty use to dealing with different operating systems, the biggest hurdle when judging if something is actually good or bad for a use case is to actually try it out now, not base once opinions on what other say or once own old experiences.
If I where to use my 2017 experience of playing games on linux I would say its bad because for some years linux gaming was lagging behind way to much.
Im very happy I ditched my Windows 10 pass-trough VM because running windows games in Linux is faster for me and less hazel, its 95% of the time just click install just like in windows.
I was alos thinking of buying a case and stuff to reuse some of my old computer parts to make a dedicated windows gaming machine but in the end that proved unnecessary and saved me hundreds of USD that I could have wasted.
Sometimes just trying stuff out saves you money because you might be surprised how well things might work despite what you have read.
I do wish more company's would release Linux Launchers for thee stores, Like Origin, EPIC, Wargaming etc etc and then use proton or similar wine implementation, that would make it just as easy to install any game on linux as windows.
So It really comes down to support the way I see it.
Something I do really hate about Windows 10 that Timmy Joe didn't mention is that Microsoft insist on you having a Microsoft Account when installing windows, the only current working work around is to make sure the machine has no internet connection during install. This pisses me the hell off.
Okay long rant but I figure someone might find this interesting or might even want to try and make a video about there "experience" XD
You Got to be only one in world who like w10 search? Man it s.... Ever try finding a file with it, that sits in front of you at the screen?
The worst thing was the Printer and sharing printer witch work fine other than W10 Specially after the Fxck YxU update...
Man i worked days fixing PC's and Laptops with, W10 Back up and running with those printer's at work where i was hired to fix/service cars..
So Now that i had Windows up bottum to up my head i have burned it to hell from my PC's and im Currently on PoP Os (1,5 years now) With in maind to run it at Work too.
Its little hard there but then again car progs ar turning more and more to android and stuff so might not be to long.
LOL , You have some bad drives. Bean there done that with W7 and before if iam not misteking with 98se to xp to win 2000 to linux what ever....
Windows 10 is why all my main systems run Manjaro Mate, and my backup Lenovo Thinkpad models X130e, and X120e run Neverware Cloudready Home Edition(Chromium OS).
If only Linux could get some love from the top program devs, Windows would die a swift death, not sure how Linux is so third rate to devs when EVERYTHING outside of the desktop space runs on Linux.
Try new Linux distros like Linux Mint or Linux MX. They are awesome!
Try Manjaro based on Arch(I personally like Manjaro with MATE DE as it's a balance of lightweight system resource usage, and usability) with the AUR enabled in Pacmac, and you will find outside of Nividia GPU's, some older sound cards, a few non standard WiFi chipsets, and Canon/Lexmark printers/scanners it's fairly well supported on both the hardware side, and software side with even Microsoft making it's Edge browser available(Don't know why any Linux user would want it, but it's in the AUR), and things like Zoom which I use just fine for my work.
Windows 10's janky update-system almost cost me a PC sale a few days ago. Updated Windows and before the buyer arrived it wanted to update Windows Defender yet again and crashed during the blue-screen...hooray for SSDs and automatic segmented backups...
Timmy Joe, I couldn't agree more about Control Panel vs Settings. I absolutely despise using Settings, which is why one of the first things I do after every new Windows installation is put a shortcut to Control Panel on my desktop.
Switched to OpenSUSE Linux this year on my main desktop rig. It's been fantastic in so many ways, especially the file manager and the aesthetics. Bye bye Microsoft!
Removing f8 for safe mode on boot is the STUPIDEST thing ever for troubleshooting. Use windows 10 stop update from majorgeeek asap!
Little bit of a tip if you use the windows store for games: don't. Nah am kidding. Use the Xbox app instead. It has a better ui and doesn't need te latest windows update to install games. All the games you bought from the store will show up in your library once you log in.
lol you just said everything i hate from win 8 on i was the guy with windows xp as long as i possibly could the only app i ever used from micro store was Xbox accessory's to update my xbox one controller firmware when i spent 70 bucks on a cool blue one when they first came out to go threw random disconnects for a few months till they came out with a fix but guess what only way to update controller was there app lol and it had to be wired in as well i make my own start menu on the tool bar with classic control panel and all i need i also have a quick program that with a click disables and enables win defender and one for win update some cool freeware that smart people made but yea i hate all the same things and if they disable my control panel im gonna be the first one looking for a unofficial mod like they had for 8 to fix the broken stuff good thing we can always count on the cool programmers/modders to fix there horrible mistakes
windows got rid of Windows Media Center, I still use it with a ceton cable card and extenders. It's a bad ass cheap mulitroom DVR that just works
Windows 10 has a lot of problems... I only use it on my gaming machine & Linux on my main work machine.
4:27 Go to "add or remove programs" and you can move a Windows game to another drive. I'm assuming you can always do that but it would not surprise me if it's not always possible considering how weird the Windows Apps are.
i never used those startup icons. we have desktop icons. trying to get rid of start menu was the dumbest thing ever. i agree on the settings menu too, i have to search every tab to find stuff. the old settings tab was so much simpler
Imagine being a sysadmin/tech support for hundreds of randomly updating and/or domain dropping systems.
Howdy howdy
@@Wahinies Do you tell your users at the end of the day to reboot their machines and walk away? That's your solution for randomly rebooting endpoints.
And why would hosts connected to the domain just randomly drop off and present the 'No logon servers' error? They wouldn't. At least not randomly. There's an explanation for why that's happening.
By the way, I worked at an MSP for 2.5 years. Getting the job was the #1 best thing that ever happend to me and leaving that technology sweatshop was #2nd. Today I'm a sysadmin in the internal IT department of a mid-sized company and I couldn't be happier. Fuck MSP's.
I'm a Linux user, and I gotta say that EVERY OS sucks in different ways. I love Linux, but I'm also a gamer. I like macOS, but I don't like Apple. I like Chrome OS, but I don't like Chrome. Every OS is the best at something, so no one is the best
I agree. When users ask me what's better, Mac or PC my response is that all computers are terrible. The are all slow, buggy, unreliable machines that will crash when you least expect.
I call it Winblows... Full of bloatware.. There is no reason for it to suck up so much memory and resources.
I was hoping you'd mention the control panel vs. settings lol I hate Settings, it's so limited and crappy
i have a few things i hate about windows 10, the scaling is horrendous, on my 4k monitor half of the built in apps dont scale properly, example when you click on the date and time on the taskbar the weekends are cut off due to the scaling or it takes up the whole 1/3 of the middle of my screen from top to bottom with only the middle part having the calendar the rest is black border, when i click on the sound to change the volume it become a full screen page instead of being a small bar at the left bottom, windows 10 is frustrating to use. prefer windows 7
I hate win 10 interface . So i Use Classic Shell and made it Normal . USE IT !! You will be Much happier . You also have a far better interface to make changes and it all there under a few tabs in the program .After doing that i have No problems with 10 whatsoever . I dont get how everyone has all of the problems with win10 .. Ive got, id say a Dozen or so computers all with Win 10-, even some core 2 duos without issue, low ram counts but it still functions .Ive only had One update cause me problems and it was fixed the following day . Trust me, Classic Shell is the way to go. Or just use a Linux Distro . Ubuntu works Great, runs Steam and Games just fine .
P.S Here is another thing that will Help you and save time finding stuff. Try this .
Right-click on the Windows 10 desktop and “Create a new folder.” Right-click the the new folder and rename the folder: “GodMode. {ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}” press enter
Yes yes yes yes yes yes!!!!!!!
C'mon, Timmy Joe, just install it,and you WILL get a lot of control over old Windy 10 back...
Great video man! You had me smiling the whole time! I worked for Microsoft even their business model is an epic cluster fuck!
Listen, I have been using and working with computers since before windows even existed. Windows 10 is by far the best, easiest to use operating system. I could list more things I hate about other operating systems (ahem....linux) than I can about windows. Windows 10 is simple and does not require much of my time at all. I also don't "modify" the OS to make it do what I think it should like many of the windows bashers do. It works great with stock setting. The only thing I do differently is I dont install all the fluff apps. I only install what I need. Never had any issues at all with windows 10.
damn straight!
I have a secondary z97 system that also bluescreens on updates for the last few weeks, ridiculous but I ended up disabling updates until they can sort it out
Perform a Google search for Windows Update Troubleshooter. I've had good experiences with it.
MS removed System Control Panel with 20H2, for now you can get it back with some trickery, but who knows before they remove that completely, and you cant access device manager. Just seem dumbass m$ makes it worse with every iteration.
Dude, just hold down the Windows key and press Pause.
@@50PullUps thanks for that tip, my brain didn't notice that all the relevant setting are listed under 'related settings' there.
There are gaming optimized and user friendly Linux distros like Pop OS. The reason Windows is still preference, is that DRM like Denuvo doesn't work on linux and some games don't even work through a virtualization layer.
Windows 7: WEve done it ladies and gents! We have created the most flawless and perfect and beautiful OS EVER created!! this is the holy grail of OS.
Also Microshit: Oh no, we made windows 7 too perfect....lets make it into garbage and introduce windows 8 and 10.
Also microshit: WEVE DONE IT!! Weve made windows 10 the most idiotic OS thats annoys the FUQQ out of people, spies, takes up 5gb ram, bloatware, bandwith hog, and a bunch of other useless garbage.
I agree. I dualboot Windows 7 and Linux. I hate Windows 10!
i 100% concur with you both!
i 100% concur with you both!
Don't get me started on dealing with Windows 10 as a business. I've been fighting the last 2 weeks with the KBxxxx802 and 808 updates that break printing to Kyocera, Ricoh, and other business printers, as well as trying to get Windows 1803 updated. That one fails to update to 1909 due to our companies disk encryption software. So I have to go through the whole process of uninstalling it and then trying to update. 90% of the time it works, the other 10% I have to have them send the laptop to us so we can reformat and reinstall. I had one today that the employee's account got corrupted after the update. It then to make matters even more infuriating, Microsoft released an OPTIONAL update that will fix the printer issues. That means I have to remote into the hundreds of computers we have and install it. I'm hoping that they will make it a mandatory update on Patch Tuesday.
why are you updating to 1909? 1909 is almost out of support
@@yotoprules9361 That's what it decided to do. I have to run the update again to get it to 2004.
@@MaxDad7 use the Windows 10 Update Assistant, it should update you directly to 20H2 (which is the latest ATM)
i will say, my brothers wifes laptop which came with windows 8 and was upgraded to windows 10, it's a 4 core 4gb system with a mechanical, should be ok for general use right? right? WRONG, i fixed it once because windows was taking 100% disk usage with not only the windows security BUT updates at the same time, after disabling the windows defender and security built it temporarly, and letting windows take idk 2 hours to actually finish updating finishing up with a long defrag the laptop ran perfectly fine, i get a message from my brother a month later who btw went to collage and stuff for all tech related things, he said "you remember how you fixed that laptop? yeah well it updated and now it won't work again" it's INSANE how much windows just EATS pc's like just ASK before doing it and the fact windows security unless altered just destroys hard drives is insane, like the laptop you will open task manager but it'll take about 10-15mins for it to actually open which is just INSANE and it's purely hard-drive related cus when task manager finally opens everything else is 0% and ram is 1.5gb idle but the HDD is 100% maxed with windows malware exicutable ect ect, windows defender and ofc windows updates just EATING the drive alive all at the same time.... such garbage OS until you spend about a day tinkering it to not do stuff without asking you.
Just the other day, Windows updated (it took a while and it was constantly interrupted by CPU fan errors, a small issue I'm too lazy to fix) and the result was that my entire goddamn graphics driver was uninstalled, making it run like absolute crap until I reinstalled it.
On top of that, it reset a bunch of my settings so I had to go to set those again. Additionally, they also removed the sleep button from my power menu.
Cherry on the cake? My chopstick from my breakfast fell on the floor during this whole ordeal.
Thanks, Windows.
1- Don't agree on the start menu! For me the right panel serves as my home screen, I hate how the icons show on the desktop so I group my icons in there and keep the taskbar an homescreen clean. You could argue that the desktop could be better though. But you could just remove the right panel if you want to go back to the old one no?
2-3-4-5 Absolutely.... They should stop working on icons and fix those
Most of these things have been fixed by pc tweakers. Default windows 10 does just about everything in its power to be a bad user experience
Yah so I haven't played Forza Horizon 4 and Forza 7 in a month, so turns out I have to reinstall both entire games. 🤦 absolutely stupid. I have had multiple windows store glitches. That is the biggest fuck up for me at least.
The settings applet ties in directly with the Windows 8 start menu. It's definitely easier to navigate settings with touch than it is the control panel. That was the whole point.
But obviously it's fucking terrible compared to the control panel because the granular controls are non-existent, and half the time, the advanced option just opens control panel anyway. It's basically infuriating to use on a daily basis.
Great video, The only App I use from the Windows Store is EarTrumpet. Just a super fast easy way to adjust windows volumes for your browser, discord anything else you got running.
Call it my fault, but I love the fact something important breaks if I don't update... Like WiFi, Bluetooth, volume.. I mean sorry Microsoft, I didn't know they had a time bomb attached to them 😂
I do go some time without updating some times but no need to force me into it.
I honestly don't use the UI in Windows 10 at all. I leave file explorer open and search for settings lol
Still rhe best i worked like that for years since 98. Kill explorer and work from task manager explorer
Aka cmd run
You sound like Joe from family guy
By far the worst feature that started with W-10 is the new way they make you get into Safe Mode! Before, it was just turn on or reboot your computer and hit F8. That was perfect. Now, they have inexplicably turned it into a NINE-STEP PROCESS. Click Start, click Power, hold down Shift, click Restart, click on Advanced, click on Troubleshooting, click on Startup Settings, click Exit, and then when the computer restarts you have to hit 4. Compared to just hitting F8 on W-7. That is the most astonishingly stupid and infuriating change in my opinion.
If you have gamepass with ea acess it took me 6hr to get it too work.
You need xbox app to connect with ea desktop app to run same time same account but link a ea account to your xbl account.
Also if you install games via the xbox app the game will create a heavy encripted portion on your drive that blocks all changes even a simple 3rd party signn in page will make it freak out and close the game.
if you try to modify anything it will erease/replace the data.
i looked into this they are using the xbox version of games on pc. so the portian is a virtual xbox one drive.
try it out
5. I use StartIsBack due to that as I hate that METRO bullcrap they call a START, yes, the search is good, but come on, the new one DOES NOT MAKE SENSE!
4. I consider that as Bloatware at this stage if I am honest.
3. Had an incident where a Forza game was installed but I could not find it in the Apps Management list or Add or Remove Programs menu, had to actually hack a way to fucking WIPE that off my drive, and the folder that held that game? When checked for storage size, showed 0mb.
2. With all honesty Control Panel FTW, easier way to manage shit. For example you want to open Network Adapter menu directly? You need to click like 10 times to get into shit while on Control Panel, 3 clicks max! And 2021 they are taking the control panel aay, I am quite sure someone will find a way to bring that back.
1. Windows updates are the worst really..
15 hours ago i my Win10 copy forgot how to make a "new folder" somthing about a regkey geting messed up. competly remove the make "new fold" icon when u right clicked.
My XP sli machine died, motherboard (socket 939) and HDD failure ☹️ it was for retro gaming only, the drive is from a prebuilt back in the day so I’ve no hard copy of xp 🤦♂️🤦♂️ keeping my eye open for a 2nd hand machine, there’s a small hope I guess.
But I’m stuck with W10 now and I hate it, 1 game works, 1 fucking game!
Sorry for language but I’m so disappointed 😞
I agree with most you said, most uf unnecessary annoyances, like how they keep moving stuff around in the Settings,
Ant there are still things only present in the old control panel.
But you missed the most cruical part: NO SOLITAIRE/MINESWEEPER.
Also, it now comes with *THREE* Webbrowsers no one wants to use: Internet Explorer is somehow still there for Compatibility reasons or something, the "Old" Edge, which is still used by default, and the "New" Chromium based Edge.
Getting rid of the Outdated versions, to at least having just one to deal with, requires jumpig though some hoops, just like getting rid of Cortana or the Metro Apps in the Start Menu.
Tfw Windows 7 does everything 10 does and it does it better :P
I've had the opposite experience. Win10 recognizes hardware faster and easier than Win7 ever did and music files are much easier to manipulate with Win10. Foobar2000 works great in this OS as well as JRiver for music file compilation. I'm pleased with Win10 over all, since I'm a huge gamer as well as a sound system enthusiast.
My Number 1 Absolute biggest complaint about Windows is the lack of choice for when I can make updates... if I'm willing to run a 10 year old version of Windows 10 then let me f...ing do it... I HATE when window Automatically updates.. Especially because it is ALWAYS happening at the most inconvenient times.
I just deleted all the apps on the stupid metro app square side and I have somewhat a classic start menu now, Microsoft store is horrid! i'm glad they're finally coming to their senses and adding the games to steam, I do not like how they're going to take away the control panel the settings app I cannot stand either, BROKEN WINDOWS UPDATES YAY!!! they are going to have to fix something too and that's the cross-platform purchases between Steam and the Windows store I bought Halo MCC of steam Windows store says I own it, I was given Sea of Thieves and bought Halowars 2 on the WIndows store WHy should I have to repurchase it on steam??? It's weird Whatever Microsoft game I buy from steam It just asks int eh windows store if I want to download it as I purchased it already and I have installed Microsoft games i bought off steam from the windows store without having to repurchase them why can't it work the other way around too??? links my steam purchases why cant it link my Microsoft purchases with steam so I can just install a much more stable version fo the game FROM STEAM!
Many of these problems originate from the time when they wanted to create a new XML based UI programming framework called WPF. It was, and still is, so clunky, that you are happy to throw together your app from the UI elements they provide. Just take a look at the Store, it could be one of the basic example projects from the SDK. The transition took so long, meanwhile the world realized XML was a mistake, but Windows is still stuck with it. Oh and it's just a layer on top of the old API with the horrible old COM buried under it. Microsoft is not only losing its users, but also developers (x3).
Have you noticed that Windows 10 makes it a pain to change the actual video resolution. It does SCALING by default. You need to dig down to adapter properties and list types to force it to change the actual resolution you want to output. It's like a Fisher Price OS that expects all of its users to be 3 year olds or something. It just did an update and now it's nagging about this version expiring. I can't remember when a software update ever delivered a better experience? ON ANYTHING! Just stop nagging me about updates and leave me at the damn version I'm at, to hell with your lousy "support"!!!
