<\/span>2.<\/p>\nHaving a machine update on its own is disturbing.\u00a0 We all have come to know *Patch Tuesday* as a *Let me see what\u2019s broken now Tuesday*.\u00a0 Spending the day trying to figure out which update did what causes me serious downtime.\u00a0 And then to add to my stress\u2026 waiting another week (or more) for a fix is beyond crazy.\u00a0 Should one just hang out a shingle\u2026 *Business closed due to Windows updates, will reopen when fixed!*, really?<\/p>\n

Installation of Office 2016 Click-to-Run, in some cases, removes Office 2013.\u00a0 Umm, as a developer that supports ALL versions of Office, this is a huge inconvenience.\u00a0 I either need a virtual machine or I have to switch to the .MSI installation or I\u2019m back to two machines running.\u00a0 Even two machines is an issue, what if I go to a Client that has both?\u00a0 What then?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
4.<\/p>\n
Widgets \u2013 I have family and clients all over the world.\u00a0 Calling them can be challenging with all the different Time Zones, so\u2026 on my Windows 7 Desktop sits clocks for each location of my family, no can do in Windows 10 with buying a bunch of different clocks.\u00a0 Really?<\/p>\n
On the same note, I kept the weather widget, just for fun so I can also see the weather where they are, so again\u2026 really?<\/p>\n
5.<\/p>\n
Cortana \u2013 I do not want some artificial *intelligence* peeking at my Contacts or my eMails.\u00a0 I do not want it remembering where I searched.\u00a0 On that same note, this should not be an hour exercise to turn off.\u00a0 Really?<\/p>\n
6.<\/p>\n
Mail tile that shows me an envelope with a number, really?\u00a0 You can get a live feed from Twitter (when it\u2019s working) but you can\u2019t get a live feed for my incoming mail.\u00a0 Really?<\/p>\n
7.<\/p>\n
Flip 3D gone.\u00a0 Loved that and made it so much easier when, if you\u2019re like me, you 10+ windows open.\u00a0 It was in my top 5 reasons for moving to Windows 7.\u00a0 Now, I\u2019m back to using my keyboard, really?<\/p>\n
8.<\/p>\n
Flat Icons \u2013 Feel like we went back to the 1980\u2019s or is the 1990\u2019s, really?<\/p>\n
9.<\/p>\n
Renaming of Programs on Program Apps menu and I still can\u2019t figure out how to move them around, I don\u2019t want them in ALPHA order and I don\u2019t want Tiles.\u00a0 There is a system my madness and now doing what I do requires extra clicks.\u00a0 On that same note, what happened to right mouse click > Send To Desktop?\u00a0 I want my Shortcuts on my Desktop.\u00a0 I have about 30 of them there now and I use them.\u00a0 To do that in Windows 7 one has to navigate to the actual file, really?<\/p>\n
10.<\/p>\n
Edge \u2013 Why?\u00a0 Just tell me why because I hate it, quickly installed Internet Explorer.<\/p>\n
While I understand the issues that go with supporting multiple versions of anything, whether it be Windows or Office and that Microsoft may not want to do it but there are those of us that still do it.\u00a0 It\u2019s our business.\u00a0 So for Office, a choice should be an option as it was in previous versions of Office.\u00a0 For Windows 10, at a minimum, let us choose whether we want without having to jump thru hoops to say no and let us choose whether we want to install updates\/patches automatically or not.\u00a0 Again, all which was available in previous versions of Office and Windows.<\/p>\n
Just in case you\u2019re interested, my opinion of Windows 10\u2026
\nSlick UI \u00a0(Yep, that’s it!)<\/p>\n
If you have not upgraded yet and still want to, a few things I would suggest\u2026
\nConfirm your hardware is compatible \u2013 That little icon that says your machine is ready is not quite accurate.\u00a0 Do your own research by either visiting the manufacturer\u2019s website or going to the Microsoft Forums and searching.<\/p>\n
Visit\u2026 Do the same for your software, especially if it\u2019s older software.\u00a0 The fact that it runs on Windows 7 64 bit or 32 bit is not a prerequisite for it running on Windows 10.\u00a0 This has been especially problematic for Anti-Virus software.<\/p>\n
