The latest Windows 10 update hasn’t gone smoothly for many users due to a conflict with an outdated driver for Intel’s Rapid Storage Technology. This is somewhat ironic in that RST was designed to improve the performance of storage hardware. Certain versions have slowed the install process, and in some cases the program actually has made installation of the Version 1903 Windows 10 update impossible. Some users have been able to download a later version of RST and get the update to work, but for many others even that won’t solve the problem.
The problems in windows 10 have become a really huge list of annoyances. Our homecomputers 1 game pc, a intel nuc i5, and i7 laptop and a mini laptop all share the same problems for example when they enter sleep mode after 15 minutes no usage, but guess what they all boot back up after certain time period. To make matters worse this goes on the whole day .. enter sleep mode and boot backup after 5 to 15 minutes. With windows 8.1 i never seen this.
The endless list of forced installed M$ programs i never want to use or ever will use like edge, ie, mail, all the stupid games and bloatware it simply goes too far to mention all of them but it goes into a large number. Then the idiot metro interface which i hate since it got introduced.
The most funny is that almost 90% of all people i know use one or another shell replacer so they can work normal without this idiot interface. The most i see on all of the machines i work on is the win 7 type made with classic shell, and yes i also use it. The whole metro stuff suxx and is counter productive. More recent i found issues with my network shares even with my old tricks i still see loss of the connections to my nas. when i asked other people with same hardware they admitted to have similar issues. This constant repeating of the ages old problems makes the usage of this at one moment pretty stable OS ( the first releases ) to be a pain in the behind now. Old problems reappear all the time hardware vendors no longer make drivers but use crappy made M$ drivers which are full with issues and bugs. And then the insane bad support, M$ says the hardware vendor/programmer of X/X has to solve it and the other way around. So we end up as end users in the middle with all the problems with this not so stable and secure product. Sadly i can not kill windows because most of my games do not run at all on linux/wine solutions like the steam box. Actually i do not own any game which is able to run on that solution.
So i am stuck on windows and am now kinda sick at how it has developed into a piece of garbage and very unstable OS. But there are more things which i hate about windows 10, it amazes me that people do allow M$ to fill their harddrives with so much garbage on their computers. If you check the endless list of updates you will find that most of them are not even for your native language at all. but all of this drive filling unneeded files are placed on your drives. And i am not even looking at how sloppy M$ is with other creations they did.
If you use wordperfect to look into a M$ word document you will find that every typo, error, space and whatever you did while creating a document is in these docs ... yes every stroke you did no matter if it was useless or not its in there. So thats why a simple text doc is allways a huge file, even though its all useless and unneeded info. I had people at work who never believed that i could see all mistakes they made, so i showed them by opening their massive docs with corel WP and they where stunned.
But the other issue is that i hate to get hundreds of MB's but often even GB's of updates for all kinda languages which i never ever going to use.
I had once a slimmed down version of win 7 and was happy that it was only using 7 GB of diskspace including my needed tools and software.
Now you can no longer remove any of this diskfillers, because if you do the machines starts to crash and forces you to reinstall.
Then we come to the section errors in the OS, i got a update the latest release of 1908 on all the machines and found it was complaining about install errors.. ( yes a fresh install)
Guess what when i ran sfc /scannow after it was just installed without the last update, it already reports problems to be found and no it was not able to fix them. Now that is ofcourse not all i actually lost photo's, documents and music files because this OS has so many issues that it is able to destroy existing files by itself ( repairs where impossible and the frequent overwrites blocked restoring.
No there is not virus or trojan on my machines its this unstable OS doing weird and destructive things which should not happen.
But there are many more issues and problems i really can go on for hours and probably even longer.
I wish i could go back to windows 7 yester year but guess what thats not possible either.
