I base my findings on working with computers on a daily basis and Windows 11 has shown far more problems and still does than Windows 10...Yes...Windows 10 has had its problems - but Windows 11..... bookie32 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yoltboy01 Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 Apparently, with Build 19045.2908, they added a new Search icon, which I find to be very ugly. It looks like they ported it straight from Windows 11, without adjusting it. You need to disable the large search box and only use the Icon to see it. Man, it's bigger than the Start Button itself.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonyu Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 is there any site to see stats about how many people really use Windows 10/11 Store/MetroUI in a PC or a laptop? Look at this: ALL Metro-ified components of Windows ever since Windows 8.0. https://winclassic.net/thread/1652/list-metro-ified-components-windows This is the major mistake since SP3. This can't be a replacement of an Old Win32 or whatever OS classic component. Metro needs to be a separated component, moving and replacing system parts to a metro based application is a mistake. Luckily you can get almost everything back with the help of winclassic forum, but a shell divided into classic and modern metro components it's not a user friendly interface. Anyway, programmed obsolescence will disappear, and MS will be forced to create new updates for 9x and NT5, why? there is no reason to get rid of old hardware on this warmed planet that is already saturated with tons of trash. you do not believe it? look what a (G)oldie OS means: Please Bill, come back. Come back... it was all cool back in the day. Even the grey taskbar without themes. What happened? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UCyborg Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 (edited) The tweet is misleading, the only role Windows 98 has in this is supporting the development environment that was used to compile probe's software. https://www.techspot.com/news/95060-mars-express-probe-receiving-update-software-developed-windows.html Edited August 15, 2023 by UCyborg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even the grey taskbar without themes. What happened? Bill has moved on. An excerpt from his AMA (https://www.windowscentral.com/bill-gates-things-we-learned-first-ama-reddit): Quote Question: Hi Bill, I am just wondering what your thoughts are on Windows 8. Do you think in general it has failed? I am not saying it has, but there are people saying it is not good, and I wanted to hear your thoughts on it. Bill Gates: It is a huge advance for Windows which people will see even more as the great applications and hardware come out.. Quote Question: Windows 7 or Windows 8? Be honest Bill. Bill Gates: Higher is better. That was over 10 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, they won't. Bill Gates' vision about security are more real now than they ever were in his wildest dreams back then. https://www.zdnet.com/article/windows-security-20-years-on-from-bill-gates-trustworthy-computing-memo-how-much-has-changed/ Windows 10 will go down the same path as Windows 7 - not enough security features. Quote My advice would be: if you need to stay on Windows 10 for hardware reasons, great; follow our security guidance from 11 and apply that to 10. Plan in your refresh cycles and security budgets to get the right hardware to get to 11 because, if you stay on 10 for too long, we will start to introduce things that are 11-specific – trust me, we have many on the way now – and we want as many customers as possible to get that value. It's very similar to the transition we went through from Windows 7 to 10: there's security goodness if you can get there. Your old hardware's not good enough to support them. Hurr durr durr!

yoltboy01 Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 I just noticed two changes in Windows 10 since the October Update (Release Preview Chanel) - Apps are now classified as System Apps if they cannot be uninstalled like Settings or Tips in the Start Menu (Ported from Windows 11?) - The Game Icon has changed in Settings (previously the XBox Logo - now a Joystick) imgur.com/a/SNpw0um Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinifera Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 honestly i wouldn't believe anything that comes out of our Billy that guy is as huge liar as any politician is as regarding to article, security is last thing he worries guy who's company squashes on your privacy just like he takes a s*** daily Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoltboy01 Posted November 10, 2023 Share Posted November 10, 2023 So, Windows Copilot is coming to Windows 10 as well? Just read some news about the development (just type Windows 10 News in any search machine). Furthermore, MS could and I also believe extend the support of W10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erpdude8 Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 looks like Windows 10 could have an ESU program similar to what occurred with Windows 7 a few years ago https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/windows-it-pro-blog/plan-for-windows-10-eos-with-windows-11-windows-365-and-esu/ba-p/4000414 https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/whats-new/extended-security-updates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's still possible to get updates for Windows 7, at least until October of next year for those with embedded versions so my guess is Win 10 will have support for many years yet.

When I tried to get game patch files which contain microsoftedgewebview2setup.exe, the installation files of Microsoft Edge were downloaded.
