Now... ¿how is this possible? or ¿what is happening? Possible solution: ¿Time to get back to SERVICE PACKS? It feels like a BETA OS Since Windows 10 1607. Windows as a Service isn't the path to follow, MS. This is completely no sense: https://winclassic.net/thread/1652/list-metro-ified-components-windows Current Windows status can be only understood in one way: nowadays hardware, even the cheapest laptop, comes with tons of RAM and disk space to waste... It's a bit sad how all has changed after w8.1.... we are in the last days of computers. Sometimes I think if MS is only testing Windows on a highend PC, even if this is true, the OS feels like a beta; slow gui, lag... tons of background processes... It was one day an (almost) perfect Operating System and not this kind of beta "Service" Edited March 12 by sonyu 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm the ONLY one where I reside that owns a desktop computer (actually 2 desktop computers) .... everybody else is just fine and happy with their phones. I don't like phones at all and I really don't like to talk on a phone. I talk on a phone maybe 1 time a week to my therapist. <OT> Edited April 16 by XPerceniol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XPerceniol Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 (edited) <OT>What's even more disheartening is that from time-to-time people need to use my computer to print and I DO NOT like anybody but me touching my devices; period!<OT> Edited April 16 by XPerceniol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UCyborg Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 On the bright side, I like the extended support for compressed archives. I've been using the good 'ol QTTabBar for several years now, it has the function to open folder in-place, a sort of popup with folder content appears if you click the down arrow that appears when hovering over certain spot with mouse near the folder. Extended support for such archives (7Z, TAR, RAR...) means the function works for peeking inside those as well, not just ZIPs.

If it's semi-modern printer, chances are they could just print from their phones. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OH yeah, its an old wired HP Deskjet 1000 so unfortunately they actually have to log in from my computer, but trust me, I'm over their shoulder hawking them. Its usually medical stuff anyway and paperwork. Edited April 19 by XPerceniol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are we really, though? There's so much computers on the market that I wouldn't have the slightest idea what to buy if I was in the market for a new one. Admittedly, my interest in computers waned with loss of interest in gaming, and having to do things I dislike on computer at work doesn't help.
