Recently upgraded from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10 on my laptop. My setup on Windows 8.1 was like this:
  • Disk indexing disabled
  • Use the start screen
  • Default to "all apps" view on the start screen
  • To start an app, I would just hit the Windows key, start typing the name, and then hit enter
Now, on Windows 10, "search" doesn't return any result at all if you disable disk indexing (which is a hog of a system process if ever I've seen one). The start screen can be enabled, but the "all apps" view is completely gone - so even if you enable the start screen, if you want to see all the installed apps, you can only do so in a tiny sliver of screen on the left of your display.

Am I doing something wrong here? This just seems fucking ridiculous to me. They did so many things right with 8 and 8.1 and now they're just backtracking all over it and completely fucking usability. Don't get me started on how you can only access some of the desktop settings in the metro settings app now...

    If your throat closes, putting oxygen in your mouth will not solve anything - as you will be introducing oxygen prior to the area of obstruction
  • JuanMena @ JuanMena:
    Just kiss me Kyle.
  • x65943 @ x65943:
    You either need to be intubated to bypass obstruction or create a stoma inferior to the the area of obstruction to survive
  • x65943 @ x65943:

    It was waiting for you to order another one.
    Seems like, your PSU was waiting for a partner.
  • JuanMena @ JuanMena:
    Keep them both
    separated or you'll have more PSUs each year.
