You see, but you do not observe.

Why don’t YOU index the files then, if you think windows is doing such a bad job? Hmmm?

Oh hey, we see you had a bunch of settings that had nothing to do with the graphics card but gently caress you, we changed them anyway, because gently caress your audio, its coming out of your monitor now, like nvidia intended, again, like every time you "update" your gpu drivers.

The search in windows 10 is powered by neural networks. No, really. It gives different people different results, and the same person different results over time.

Stop for me, it's the claw!



Windows 10 is kind of freaking me out now. They asked me to login to my 'windows account' and the only one I've ever had was a hotmail account, so because they updated hotmail to outlook 365, now there's pictures from emails I sent as attachments when I was like 12 years old which have been put into my one drive folder automatically.

After I installed AVG a folder under /appdata/local has attachments and calendar meetings downloaded from that inbox which are giving me virus notifications, when normally I would just ignore the loving email completely. But Windows 10 wants to synchronise everything because it thinks I'm also going to buy a surface pro and a windows phone too?

My hotmail address from when I was a teenager is now a free office 365 account (hotmail.com redirects to outlook.com). That account is now linked to apps on my windows 10 desktop because I logged into it using the outlook/mail app on the desktop. There are now attachments from emails in that account in a local folder on my hard drive, even though I didn't download any. I discovered it because some of them triggered virus warnings with AVG.

I still have the account because I use it to sign up for stuff I don't want to sort out in my newer account (the newer one has my actual name, to put on stuff like job resumes).

Yep, Windows will automatically integrate everything into whatever email you choose for your Windows Account.

Watch out, this means that the password for your old hotmail is now also the password for all Microsoft services including the Microsoft account with keys for Windows (and any other MS products like office) Skype, Games for Windows, Onedrive, etc.

You’ll want to activate 2FA and change the password. Consider scrubbing payment information from the different services or changing the primary email to something else.

Your old junk email is now the key to everything Microsoft.

You should have just clicked "skip" when Windows 10 asked you to log in with an online account like 99% of the rest of the population.

Isn't AVG just non-functional spyware now?

Wow, there are certainly a lot of Windows Supporters coming out of the closet in the thread. I don't understand the unwavering support of this corporate operating system. Corporatehood is representative of the systems of patriarchy. I literally don't know why the mods don't do something about all these bots.

alternatively, click on 'advanced' and then the 'rebuild' button and then search works again for the locations you do have selected.

As someone who works in Customer Support, it's this.

I am sorry you are experiencing difficulty with our folder search functionality. Can you check to see if all your cables are connected securely for me please?
