This is an open letter to the Windows 10 (and Office) developers with things I really wish would change - or if there is a good reason for things to be this way, I would love to know why!
- The Photos app sucks.
- Why does everything need to come from the Microsoft Store? MSI installers were lovely.
- Scrolling on the OneDrive desktop app is very touchy. This seems to be a hit or miss issue.
- Excel’s handling of the time number format sucks, it can never convert colloquial uses of time to actual data unless you renter for exactly how it wants.
- There are now ads in every corner of an OS I paid for.
- Let’s slap AI all over the search bar.
- Why do you not prioritize the local files on my machine over the internet in search?
- Sleep sucks on a laptop in Windows 10, and even more on desktop - so much so that I just run PowerToys Awake 24/7 on the desktop and only turn on/off my monitor.
