WTF is happening with Windows 10? And nothing else

@error said in WTF is happening with Windows 10? And nothing else:
I was using the multimedia keys on the keyboard to play and pause a podcast while I play The Witcher (I listen during combat stuff and pause during dialogue). It works OK.
When I use the multimedia keys, Windows 10 pops up an overlay to show my Spotify Now Playing. That's a little intrusive, but not so bad.
So I resume my podcast and start rapidly tapping keys because I'm fighting 3 alps, a felder, and a gravier. Apparently while that Now Playing popup is displayed, you can use the keyboard to control the media playing, so my combat maneuvers end up changing tracks about 12 times in rapid succession.
There's a setting in Spotify to turn that overlay off.

Oh, I thought it was a Windows feature. Wrong thread, oh no.

I don't doubt it. I regularly see Desktop Window Manager (that thing that used to provide fancy graphics, transparency effects and compositing) take a sizable chunk of core doing... Apparently not much.

Oh there's still an overlay, but it doesn't usually steal focus without the mouse.

If you don't get something like this:
Then your media player doesn't advertise to Windows that it's playing media, and so no overlay.

@error complained about the overlay, I said it can be turned off. You said it's still there just not stealing focus - well, no, it can be turned off.

Yes, you missed the part where I said a turned-off overlay was still showing. You know, because I totally didn't say that.

I don't doubt it. I regularly see Desktop Window Manager (that thing that used to provide fancy graphics, transparency effects and compositing) take a sizable chunk of core doing... Apparently not much.
That's funny, because back when Windows 7 came out, that was a bit of a problem as not all graphics cards back then could handle the translucency effect. A decade later everything can handle it easily but they switched back to Windows 3.11 style graphics anyway, so there's not much for it to do other than draw textured quads on screen.

But hey, the Windows Terminal can now add visual effects like these fake scanlines to make your 4K screen look like a CRT of yore. Progress!
EDIT: Here are some better screenshots, the effect is lost in the article I posted because they recompressed the original pictures: https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/pull/3468

@JBert that’s a nice visual effect to display in games. It’s also garbage for a console you actually want to work with.

Will they depend on the hall-effect lid sensor for detecting magnets, or will Windows OEM licensing require machines to have extra sensors around the screen bezel, for accurately replicating the effect?

This morning my computer notified me that it had installed updates and needed to restart. OK, sure...I'm just getting going, might as well restart and get this over with. But then, after telling it to restart, and confirming it a couple of times that, yes, I really do want it to restart...it just sits there. Nothing happens.
So, another 3 second salute for me!
Currently on the blue screen of "Don't turn off your computer." Updates have been 100% complete, mind you, for a few minutes at this point. Oh, now 24%. I guess percentages don't work like they did when I learned about them in 5th grade.

@boomzilla You know the good-cop-bad-cop interrogation tactic? The one where, after being subjected to a lot of abuse from one cop, their less abusive partner starts to look so good that you want to confess to them just to keep them in the room?
After all the Windows update shenanigans, typing "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" on a command line almost makes me orgasm now.Btw, does Windows still enroll you as an alpha-tester if you click on "Check for Updates"?

I only run enterprise versions of Windows where the check goes to the organization's servers. And also it has never once found updates, even when I know that I'm behind (because I haven't been using my customer supplied laptop lately and colleagues have talked about their machines updating).
