Windows 10 is brilliant....check out the latest releases. I'm actually finding it hard to use Windows 7 at work now. Windows 10 makes accessing settings and features faster. And the OS as a whole is quicker. And it's oh so pretty to look at. 😛
The only problems that remain in Windows 10, from my point of view, are as follows:
- DirectX app freeze still ends up as an overlay on your computer so you can't tab out, open task manager, and kill the task. However...you can pre-bind a "kill switch" (.bat file) to AutoHotKey and activate that to run it, and terminate the offending app easily. When a solution exists...I don't see why they don't resolve it. Your average user isn't going to do this, and will end up having to reboot their PC even when the OS hasn't crashed. Just the one DirectX game has frozen, and remains on top of the OS visually.
- Microsoft Edge Browser. Great browser. Very fast. Much better on laptops than Chrome due to significantly lower use of CPU time (therefore...better battery life). But...lack of extensions. This is problematic.
- App store. It still feels...uhmm...every word that's coming to mind would be inappropriate to use. It needs a full and complete overhaul. The sandboxed nature of the apps is an amazing thing to have, as it means less chance of a virus or malware bogging down your average computer user's desktop/laptop. They just need to make the app store better. And to create a "certified" list of apps that lets you weed out all the trash fake scam apps. I haven't checked in a little bit but before when you searched for Facebook, 50 different apps came up, all using variations of the official Facebook logo. That's a huge issue. They need to implement an easy refund option similar to what Android has to get people to use it more, which also makes it less likely for people to put crappy apps up to mislead people, as the person they mislead can now easily uninstall it and get a refund.
Other than that...functionally, Windows 10 is a brilliant system.
