    Now App Gap Is Starting To Be an Issue...

    I know what you mean. I've been on since Windows Phone 7 and I've always had the "it'll get better" mentality. Well its been 3-4 years and it only gotten worse. I'm afraid to say that Windows Mobile is dead and version 10 isn't going to save it. No developers are interested in it except those...

    I'm ready to admit it.... Windows has gotten worse with 10

    And yes I think part of my problem is that I haven't done a fresh install. My laptop has been running the tech preview since March and should probably get a clean installation. I'm sure it will resolve some of the issues but I don't see it curing everything. My work machine I upgraded from...

    I'm ready to admit it.... Windows has gotten worse with 10

    A few other things... I use auto-hide the taskbar on my 13" laptop to save some screen real estate. Sometimes it gets stuck and doesn't auto hide, or it pops up while I'm doing something because Cortona wants to say hi and ask if I need anything. No I don't need anything Cortona! Go away! I'll...

I have experienced as well that the start menu does not open at times or...

    I'm ready to admit it.... Windows has gotten worse with 10

    My hardware is fine, I'm on a new laptop that shipped with Windows 8.1, and I also have a new AIO Dell at work that I also upgraded from 8.1 to 10. Both have had issues after I upgraded. Never said I'm running XP either, I just made a reference to how much better Windows was back in those days...

    I'm ready to admit it.... Windows has gotten worse with 10

    Honestly, I've been an avid Microsoft supporter for a while now. You could say since I was 5 years old playing with MS-DOS on my father's fancy new Compaq PC. But I'm ready to say that I'm fed up with the new Windows. As far as I'm concerned, at the end of the day - it's become harder to use a...
