Brand new, out of the box. It’s been sitting here at 100% for 5 minutes.
The best part is still too come, clicking through the 10 or so questions, where the preselected option is the always the bad one regarding privacy, and the “good” one is a compromise at best.
“Install Cortana?”
- “Yes”
- “Postpone decision”
I prefer using Linux because I can customize my desktop without having to install a dozen different 3rd-party apps.
One of our customers has a Lenovo with an i7 10th gen and 16gb of memory. Booting up takes about 5 minutes on an NVMe drive and using our application, based on Microsoft Access, takes literal years to save an entry.
Windows can fucking die in a hotel fire.
Are hotel fires worse than other fires?
They’re pay-per-view.
That’s weird. My one boots up quicker than it shuts down.
Also why are you using Microsoft access hehe

This is the real question

So, you prefer Linux and show us a booting Window screenshot. What happened?

My other favorite is when they add Edge to my desktop periodically
Oh, and the one time they put a fucking arrow on my wallpaper pointing at Edge. That’s what finally convinced me to make it my default browser
what how?
That is absolutely lunacy that they did that
I don’t know where or what version of Windows this is but I administer a shit ton of windows devices and have never seen this. Wondering if this is a home edition or some version of OEM.
i feel like the meeting went like that:
exec: “why is no one using it?”
dev: “shit browser, same tech as chrome”
exec: “ok? how can we increase usage ffs?”
dev: “lol, dunno, giant white arrow pointing at the icon?”
exec: “ship it tomorrow “
Can you unpin Edge from the taskbar? That should get rid of the arrow. Or maybe the next windows update would bring it back.
Oh, yeah that was the solution lol. It’s more the fact that they took the liberty of pinning it there for me, and then drew the arrow over my screen. The sheer audacity of it all
Not to be a downer here, but after a couple minutes I just hold the power button down and make it go to sleep. Linux has given me similar issues too and I also hold its power button down. My bigger reason for switching is all the privacy invasive stuff and bloat.
Edit: Is that a T14? Good choice
Windows has a tendency to no longer boot when updates or whatever it’s doing is interrupted.
