It's easy for me to say "well I haven't used Explorer's ZIP functionality since XP", but..that's not really the case for the vast majority of home users I don't think.

How do I make a Win10 1809 install USB? I'm downloading the media creation tool on the Microsoft site but it says it's version 1803 in the file name. Or is it going to make a 1809 anyway? I ran it and made it, is there a way to check which version it created?

Nah screw Linux. It's nice for servery stuff, but the desktop experience is atrocious. Unless a variety of popular projects doing plumbing at varying levels join up and deliver something coherent (i.e. the Microsoft model), it's not going to go anywhere soon. I've been toying around with Linux again a bit due to Ubuntu 18.10, and it's still a clusterfuck in my opinion. How long is the Wayland stuff in development? And it's still nowhere near feature complete (leaving out the NVidia bullshit) or without jank. Even ignoring Wayland, the arguably most used desktop environment (Gnome) can't even deal with refresh rates other than 60hz, unless you force a different rate via an environment variable. An in-principle outside entity (Ubuntu) had to actually step in recently and get Gnome's poo poo in order, too, in regards to performance and memory leaks. So I don't even want to deal with antics of DEs/WMs from smaller teams (let alone tiling ones, I'll never understand these).

Anyone else had issues with the "show taskbar buttons on all taskbars" setting on 10? It seems to periodically stop working, defaulting to "show buttons on active window", although not actually visibly toggling that option. I then have to go mess with the setting again to get it to do what I want.

Thanks MS for 1809 being the first major update that finally gets me to format & reinstall. This update will also make me permanently configure the Windows Update GPO to wait months before ever installing these feature updates. Good thing I can still get 1803 to put back on. I'll actually kind of miss the changes to the Notification Center in 1809. They did a nice job making that work better. PUBLIC TOILET fucked around with this message at 04:54 on Oct 24, 2018 |

This isn’t windows, this is the developer of the original hardware deciding their driver won’t support bootlegs anymore, and when it’s pulled from windows update and encounters one it unloads itself. Be glad you didn’t encounter the driver they released which flashed the USB device ID on those bootlegs to 0000, effectively destroying them. I have some sympathy, but they are effectively stolen goods, so I’m not sure what you expect the original driver developer to do here? Ask Prolific to give you a working driver, you purchased it from them, they are the ones who should be providing that.

Last Chance posted:wait, windows 10 bricks usb devices too? Jesus lol That was a lovely third-party developer that managed to get their driver pushed to Windows Update. You really can’t expect Microsoft to check for that ahead of time. The driver worked fine for real devices with that ID and didn’t do anything to devices without a matching ID, so it passed all the automated tests and didn’t look suspicious.

I don't expect microsoft to catch it, but anything on windows update has a signed certificate from MS. If I were in charge that would deserve a response to revoke your certs, you get to distribute self-signed drivers that users have to see warnings to install in the future.

I've been using this setup exclusively for like three years probably. I'm productive with it, I can control updates; They usually don't wipe my home folder either. Gnome has always been not good as far as I can recall. That's the mistake here. I personally find the desktop UI to be cluttered and maybe a bit too complex, I haven't used it in awhile though. I think most people would be well content with a version of the windows 98 shell without upgrade or ad shenanigans. It's really all that those wm guys gotta do. And games.

Whitespace in wrong places, not enough whitespaces in other places, uneven control and label placements, and so on. If you Google KDE, you'll find tons of old screenshots. They've made great strides in making it look nicer. But, in general, Gnome has always been the more "consistent" experience and your complaints are certainly still valid.

LxQt, XFCE and/or Mate for a more classical desktop experience. Not very many bells and whistles, but they work very well. KDE is a more "and the kitchen sink" desktop environment. I personally like it and use it daily for the last decade simply because of its endless customization options. The default KDE desktop is, however, perfectly usable for any normal person. As for the "whitespace in the wrong places, too much whitespace or too little" remark, i have not noticed that at all. Maybe I'm just too used to it. Gnome: they just went crazy with their design philosophy. I guess it appeals to some people, for me it's unusable. Tiling WMs: one needs a specific set of requirements for that to be preferable over the big ones. Edit: and, oh, just in case you aren't aware, you do not have to reinstall the OS to try out a desktop environment. You can have them all installed on the same system (regardless of which you started with) and just choose whichever one you want to use upon login. Yes, having more packages will consume more hard drive space, but that's the only downside. Volguus fucked around with this message at 14:00 on Oct 24, 2018 |

That is one the things I learned when running it on my primary rig. Linux in general I might add, in a VM I never had to figure stuff out because I would just shut it off after awhile, now that it runs on my main machine I do have to put in some effort. It is fast. Especially when you take some time to personalize it the way you want it.

Huh? KDE out of the box is literally "vanilla desktop, the experience". It has about 10 billion options in the control panel, sure, but out of the box on first login, it basically mirrors a windows desktop, but with a useful console and file browser that can do more than the bare basics. It's also the only desktop environment with a single control panel outside macspace

If I were in charge that would deserve a response to revoke your certs, you get to distribute self-signed drivers that users have to see warnings to install in the future. The tricky thing with this one is that Prolific is like Realtek, they didn't actually ship hardware to consumers they just provided chips to OEMs for integration. A lot of devices originally designed for serial connectivity were "upgraded to USB" by slapping a PL2303 inside and calling it a day. It was also for a time widely considered to be the most compatible chip back when it was quite common to come across picky old serial devices that didn't like most USB adapters, so a lot of us looked specifically for them. Any punishment that impacts delivery of drivers for these devices does a lot of collateral damage to innocent vendors and end users. I'm glad USB-CDC finally caught on and modern serial adapters can "just work" with a class driver like other basic functions, but there's a lot of legacy nonsense that'll never be fully cleaned up.

I've been having intermittent lockup/stuttering on my new laptop. It seems to enter spells where every ~20 seconds it freezes for about 2-5 seconds. It's persisted across reinstalls (1803 and 1809), on the OEM SSD and the new ADATA I slapped in there. Sleeping/waking makes it go away for a bit. Thermals don't seem to be a factor. Drivers/BIOS are up to date. It never happens in Linux (problem solved?) Any ideas?

So Dolby Atmos for Headphones seems hosed on 1809, too. All channels other than center front sound like they're going through a slight saw tooth envelope. You notice when there's sounds like synth strings and what not playing on these channels. Maybe the center channel is hosed too, but the voice track doesn't exacerbate it. --edit: Or maybe just the Daredevil soundtrack being bad and constantly triggering some compressor in Atmos.

dud root posted:15 minutes? What does this do that Everything doesn't? That takes seconds I'm guessing they are building a completely new index/cache, hence the part about it being a resource intensive activity. Plus they might be giving numbers for HDD based installs, SSD searching might be done in seconds without an index but lots of people still have HDD for bulk storage.

If you have Task Manager running when this happens, what resources are being maxed out? Typically I've seen this happen either during Windows Updates or an A/V scan, so I'd expect either the CPU or SSD to be the issue here (which is why sleep mode helps - because all activity is ceased.) This could also be a symptom of a lower-end SSD (i.e. a DRAMless one;) what are the model numbers of the Adata and the OEM drives?

I didn't manage a screen grab but it was mostly Logfile and Windows Storage Class something other other with the most activity. I don't know about the OEM drive, but the one I put in should be fairly good. It's the XPG 8200 / 960GB. http://www.adata.com/upload/downloadfile/Datasheet_XPG%20SX8200_EN_20180316.pdf I've been running with resource monitor in the background all day to keep tabs and for the first time haven't hit any hitches.
