Is Windows 10 haunted?

I think that was just the keyboard layout... :sigh:

Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

And while I'm moaning, why the heck have they separated the Start menu and the Search to two buttons?

Right-click on the taskbar, and select "Cortana -> Hidden". The search box / button will disappear, but you can still start typing on the start menu to search.

Relax, you have just scratched the surface of Windows 10 nightmares. :laugh: *While I was writing this reply, my secondary machine running Windows 10 shows me a blue screen of death CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED*. :sigh:

While you are investigating the issue, you could get Griff a replacement typewriter for the time being. Maybe he's more comfortable than that and doesn't want the computer back.

Well, you were being critical of Windows 10, weren't you? :)

If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack. --Winston Churchill

Now the mob is walking with the torch towards Windows Phone village. That will soon arrive in some days. Weeks/Months?

And the keyboard itself!

I've just hit my first stumbling block on Windows 10. I wanted Remote Connection (to access a Raspberry Pi). So to download the free app, I have to create a Microsoft Account. But when I next reboot the PC I get a strange screen - it turns out, I now have to log on to start my own PC; I've never logged on before. My boot up process was 1) Switch on; now it is 1) Switch on, 2) Wait for logon page, 3) Enter password. And the really bad thing is that the password turned out to be the one that I had set for the Microsoft Account. So, MS knows the password to start my PC. How insecure is that?

For those of us with 3D printers.

Yes, Windows 10 is haunted[^]

Last W10 update it pulled down a new graphics driver and I lost a monitor. I rolled it back and everything was fine. Green is cause by accelerated graphics checked.

Beware. Cortana is listening...

I may not last forever but the mess I leave behind certainly will.

I'm still waiting for the Halo version of Cortana to appear on my desktop and start ordering me around.

To be fair, the search is still on the start button if you just start typing. So you can hide the search box via the taskbar right-click menu and get that windows 7 feel happening. But of course the actual search results are another matter.

You don't even have two? I have three. I can't imagine getting any work done without at least two.

I just switched to a single 3440x1440 at work and it is working pretty well, though at home I have 4 2560x1440 and a 3440x1440, so I get your meaning. :)
