Default Total Crap OS

Still waiting for file explorer to show any files.
"WORKING ONE IT"

Working on draining everyone's bank account that is.

Corporate America IS BIG BROTHER !

Repeatedly, off and on, I get this File Explorer crap!

Windows 10 Home

I cannot do anything and walk away from my laptop in disgust !

I am sure the store would not take this back and what would they replace
it with ? There are not Win XP laptops available.

I still have my Win Xp laptop and it is still working perfectly.

M$ is trying to get people so ****ed off that when Windoze S comes out
people will gladly adopt the total cloud concept and having to download
apps only from Windows STORE (the S) thinking that it must be better
that Windows 10 that should have been named windows 9 (or in German,
Windows NO !).

M$ are total a-holes !

Why don't you use Twitter or Facebook for your rants? You will get
millions of followers like Donald Trump did to win the presidential
election. Try it and stop posting here. You are a complete failure in
life. You should really blow yourself up in your bathroom.

Considering that there are 10s of thousands of happy Win 10 users, I'd
have to say that you don't know what you're doing!!

A second suggestion is here.

https://superuser.com/questions/1083...-working-on-it

Clean out all files with extension ".automaticDestinations-ms"
in this folder.

%AppData%\Microsoft\Windows\Recent\AutomaticDestin ations

The %Appdata% is the invisible folder in your home directory.
The %% thing is an environment variable, and if you enter that
string into File Explorer, it should expand the variable and
take you into the folder in question.

Now, I had 43 of those files in that directory. I deleted them.
I tried to visit my Downloads folder. Bam! Fixed.

Note. When you delete the large number of files in there, the
folder you're working in becomes an automatic destination too.
So you'll see two entries appear in the folder. You cannot really
delete them all, and at least two will come back immediately.

It came on his new computer.

That happens sometimes. You're browsing the Best Buy,
your impulsive buyer gene cuts in, and... when you wake
up on the couch, there's a Win10 laptop on your lap.

*******

Real he-men fix that by writing their own OS.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TempleOS

"God said to create the operating system with 640x480,
16 colors display and a single audio voice."

The secret to any OS design, is good management.

After reading the wiki, I'm not sure "Real he-men" is applicable here.

When you delete a lot of files, and you know they are truly junk, it
speeds the process to go into to the properties for the Recycle been and
set it to complete delete all files not maintain them in the recycle folder.

Make sure you reset the parameter after your are done deleting those files.

Check the demographics of those users and you fill find they know
nothing about any Windows. They are plinkers. Happy fools.
I know some of them and cannot have an intelligent conversation with any
of them.

Corporate users are NOT signing up for Windows 10.
They know it is crap !

Paul is the ONLY sane person responding !
Thanks Paul for suggestions. Real suggestions !

The rest of you can go play solitaire on your windows 10 crappy PCs
because that is all you know how to do.

I try to do real work on Windows 10 and find that Win XP Pro is still
the best. Win 7 pro is poor but usable. The others I would not bother
with. Which is worse: Vista or Windows 10 ?

Troll huh ? Get a life and go do something useful ! And eran your living.
You are probably those that bleed the state using MY tax money.
I work for my living and do not take handouts.

Personal opinion but I think you got a bur up your ass for win 10.
I do a ton of work on win 10 being an ex programmer and I compile,
design, make web pages, ftp, games, support for other people etc.

Maybe not your everyday, but I'm not playing solitaire all day!
And I've gone back to XP several times and find win 7 much much better
and I loved 8.1 (once I fixed the menu thing).

I'd rather back track to windows 8.1 but the world marches on like it or
not.

PS. I'm running linux now for 18 months. So I did give it up but rather
than complain, I did something.

Valid question.

Yes, it came on my new laptop !

BUT, it was all the GREAT SAYERS that made me think it was a worthwhile
purchase. OBVIOUSLY NOT SO. Hate finding out the hard way.

Those GREAT SAYERS are M$ shills or worse. I took a chance and lost.

I have never had so many problems with an OS and I started with my own
assembly language mini OS I wrote running on an Altair then an IMSAI.
After that CP/M for which I wrote assembly language drivers.
Heard of that ?
Then came DOS followed by baby Windows when IBM got involved
(unfortunately, killing off all the competitive small time
entrepreneurs. One of which purchased one of the first text editors
from me that I wrote).
Win XP Pro was a triumph (after all the service packs) but M$ had to
screw it all up with all the crap they added for corporate use that home
users had to plow their way through to get anything to work.
UAC was a stupid "innovation".
Idiots should be allowed to screw up their computer so IT people can
flourish.

All a plan by M$ to get to Windows S.
Wait till you see this abomination !
You will barf.
M$ with then have you totally by the nads.
You will have to get all apps through the M$ Store.
Small time entrepreneurs will fade away and innovation will be dead.
Only those that can meet M$ requirements will be allowed to put their
apps on a Windows S pc but only after paying big $$$. This is sniffling.
You will become a slave to M$ corporation and they will $uck you dry.
Wait and see.

M$ is a true executive driven corporation.
Probably why Bill Gates left.
Bill was a true creator and developer and he deserves his fortune.
Too bad Gary K. was out playing golf when IBM came to call.
We might have a very different outcome now.

That's the real answer. If you choose to use a particular OS, learn to
make it work for you the best you can. Otherwise, use something else.
The childish whining that the nymshifting OP does here every day is a
waste of his and our time. It just demonstrates that he is (a) clueless
about computers and (b) looking for attention, not assistance.
