Why I stopped using Windows 10 | 2019 Update

If you don't want to watch the videos, here is his list.

I'd agree with most of this. Life sucks. Windows sucks.
What's your alternative?
Sure, you can hang on to XP until it no longer meets your needs.
I did that for 3 years on Win7.
But, changing to win10 is INEVITABLE. Not IF, but WHEN.


1. Windows Updates - As a system admin having the computer force
Â*Â* updates on my users makes me rage. I set the GPO and
Â*Â* Off-Times, however it still finds a way to update at
Â*Â* inconvenient times.
I bitched about that deal breaker for a long time. Currently, windows
update
manager seems to make this bearable.
If you have a metered connection, that's a problem.
Maybe we should invoice MS for our internet overages.

2. Windows Store - Microsoft store is horrid! It's the worst
Â*Â* implementation of forced bloatware and a bold cash grab
Â*Â* that just spits in our faces. Windows 8 should of taught
Â*Â* Microsoft, but no, it had to continue in Windows 10.

3. Notification Bar - It sucks... its worthless, and overall
Â*Â* just pointless.

4. Security Center - This technically started in Windows 7,
Â*Â* but has carried on and just become more bloated. I want to
Â*Â* pick my Anti-Virus, and choose my firewall settings.
Comodo internet security free.

5. Removal of Safe mode on boot - WTF!? I have to boot into
Â*Â* Windows hold shift and reboot to get to safe mode?
Â*Â* Really!?! Microsoft go home you are drunk!
That's not a big deal. The big deal is when you can't boot into
windows.
But, there's a workaround for that too...if you plan ahead.

6. Security - This could be a video in of itself, Major
Â*Â* security issues this past year like the Windows Share
Â*Â* exploit from the leaked NSA tools. I am still upset
Â*Â* at Microsoft for wasting my weekends patching this.
What are you able to do about it? If you were in charge,
what would you have done? Your choices may not have been
my choices, so I'd still be bitching.

7. Bi-Annual System Upgrades - Why!? just Why!? October
Â*Â* update anyone?

8. File Sharing sucks in Windows - Ugh $C and the permissions
Â*Â* just make me want to rage

You can't please everybody. There is a small percentage of users
with REAL problems with some win 10 issues. There are a few
people like you and me who like to bitch about perceived
injustice.
You can be sure
that M$ DGAF about any of us. There's some bean counter disconnected
from the world of joe average cracking the whip. He cares not one
bit if it costs you $100 in time to add 10-cents to the M$ bottom line.
He's more interested in that bonus that will pay for a bigger boat.

We all hate it, but resistance is futile. It just raises your blood
pressure. And computer support is WAY cheaper than medical bills.

You can swim against the current or just sit on your inner tube
and float along with the current. The Windows 10 waterfall is
somewhere downstream. The current will continue downstream whether you like
it or not. It's better to plan, even if you're not
ready to execute that plan. Resistance is a waste of energy.

Frankly, I'm amazed that windows (or linuix) works at all.
