No one cares about HDR. How about some decent data retention?
I get better frame rates in Linux running wine than I do in windows 10 since the 2020 updates.
This is someone who uses linux for 99.99% of all computing things, so its not like I'm a Windows shill
Then again, I've seen Windows do weirder things.
Current bugs: - every MS app store app has the windows image preview program icon, despite following every guide I could find to fix this.
- sometimes WiFi just dies, and won't come back until I disable the card, full reboot, then enable it (Intel 6 chipset AFAIK, so not some noname brand)
- explorer randomly dies when switching virtual desktops and then comes back. I've had this one 3 machines now and I've no clue why.
Were you using an Nvidia graphics card and did you right click on the left box of explorer where the quick access toolbar is? This is a common issue with Nvidias context menu in that situation.
The other issue is being handled by the DBA but it sounds like he's getting a similar treatment.
Now all it would take them is a second to check the sizes of both and not remove the one with actual data but ya know that would be a actual useful feature.
And before you complain about to me about my "setup"... The scenario I described above is entirely common in IT departments the world over.
Now please stop blaming victims and start blaming the people that have the power to change things.
I just upgraded to Windows 10 21H2 last week, after upgrading to 21H1 a couple weeks ago. I'm looking at my C:\ drive with hidden files viewable and there is no "Users.old" or "Windows.old" folders.
This is on Windows 10 Pro using my personal Microsoft account, but the PC is managed through Intune so I can access corporate resources.
What I'm saying is, to use your own words, "you're objectively incorrect."
Sometimes individual user directories get moved if they are corrupted, but they still aren't in my experience deleted.
The issue is really that the front end experience has gone to shit and that windows boxes are inherently zero day hackable at random. With gaming there's memory leaks out the ass. When doing updates windows regularly ignores and resets settings. Not everyone wants to use defaults and not everyone has time to edit group policy settings every time there's a changes. Your IT team is definitely 100% debloating your system before imaging.
I'm over here coding, running vms, setting up ssh tunnels, streaming, recording video, playing music, doing teleconferencing and all manner of other nonsense. So yes my standards are a little out there.
But frankly I don't think windows should be able to be HIPAA certified because I don't believe it's possible to secure it. And trust me that's my job.
The workers at my job that use Chromebooks are by far the most secure in our entire IT stack.
I still used a Start Menu replacer. That was one thing I wouldn't want to give up.
