WTF is happening with Windows 10? And nothing else

This is normal behavior.
Yes, and as everyone has been saying, THAT'S THE PROBLEM.
Yeah, yeah, I know you meant normal as, "reasonable, good, best practices, etc," and not, "Mi¢ro$oft pulls this bullshit all the time."
-
@boomzilla which part of wave-based rollouts is a problem?
-
@pie_flavor Like, did he get super unlucky and check 10 minutes before the wave hit and then right after it hit?
-
@boomzilla Spoken like a truly illiterate person.
-
@pie_flavor sure, keep going with that.

@levicki said in WTF is happening with Windows 10? And nothing else:
The fact that you are manually installing 5 times instead of having unattended install is even bigger
I'm not manually installing. They came from an OEM this way and needed to "do stuff" on first bootup. And this OEM is odd/niche1 enough that I don't dare do a clean-media install myself because of odd hardware and device driver stuff.
1It's marketed as a notebook, but it has a desktop-grade CPU in it and two PCI Express x8 slots...
-
@levicki For a customer system, no. If it was internal use only or personal, yeah, I'd blow it all away and start fresh.
That said, this particular OEM's payload really isn't that bad. It only has a few extra things and they aren't intrusive.
-
@levicki Well, this end user is based in China, so a preinstalled proxy will be the least of their concerns.
-
@levicki Oh, they know already...in our line of work, it requires State Department export licenses and such...

How else are we going to backdoor their planes?
-
@boomzilla Why would we want to do that? Nobody ever uses the back doors on planes anyway.

I've boarded at the back door before.

The Germans are very keen on the rear entry.
Of their planes, dummkopf! It's seriously pretty common at German airports, much more so than elsewhere I've flown.

@levicki The phrase “searching the web using Windows Desktop Search” really points to the basic problem, which is Windows Desktop Search. WDS has always been a pile of excrement because MS have never quite got the hang of the idea of building an index and saving it so that local searches can be fast.
-
@levicki said in WTF is happening with Windows 10? And nothing else:
On the contrary, it actually has indexing -- check for a process SearchIndexer.exe. It is also configurable on what it should index and what it shouldn't.
But that doesn't stop the search from taking ages. Something is fundamentally wrong, and has been for a very long time.

Agreed. Having used Search Everything (by voidtools) and seeing that searches across all my hard drives can be instantaneous (no exaggeration here), and how complex my search queries can be, I never want to go back.

@levicki said in WTF is happening with Windows 10? And nothing else:
Windows Search is actually used to search Outlook inbox folders
It's also complete shit. I can't remember a single instance when it found what I was looking for. It's always: search, wait, nope no useful results, browsing emails by hand, found it in like 30 seconds.

@Tsaukpaetra More "Have you tried a PowerShell version newer than the 2016 release?"
People who use cli don't like trying anything newer than 1976, 2016 is crazy mystical future land
-
@Leftos Based on your post I checked out Search Everything and can confirm the search is instant. I haven't done any fancy stuff with it yet, but even if I only end up using the most basic search terms it's worth installing.

@Leftos Welcome, lurker!

Speaking of something almost unrelated, is there anything that uses the hotkey CtrlAltF?
-
@hungrier if it were anything, it'd probably be IntelliJ.

It's Find Next in InDesign.

It might be Toggle Full Screen in Eclipse on non-macOS.

@TimeBandit No repro.

@Zecc From the article:
When I start Windows, the login screen looks good, but when I put my credentials and the desktop is shown, it gradually starts turning red. The only element that remains with the correct colour is the mouse pointer.
I've seen that exact behaviour with f.lux

@error said in TDWTF Plays Hangman:
I guess I don't see the utility of using a bot as a clipboard for copypasta.
My Launchy plugin works much better for that

@levicki The phrase “searching the web using Windows Desktop Search” really points to the basic problem, which is Windows Desktop Search.
Why would you "search the web" using "Windows Desktop Search"?
WDS has always been a pile of excrement because MS have never quite got the hang of the idea of building an index and saving it so that local searches can be fast.
"Search the web" is not a "local search".
WTF is going on here?

That's how f.lux works by default, although I think there is a setting that allows you to change it.
What @Zecc is describing sounds like a bug in the "Night Light" feature. Or his settings got changed/corrupted.

Fold? Nah, but I will wait until I can take a break and nip over to use the nearest Starbucks Wi-Fi to find an appropriate reply.
The firewall infrastructure installed last month tends to snitch on NSFW goings on, and i'm sure HR doesn't want to see me again this month.

You will be pleased to learn that the next Windows update codenamed 19H2 (which will probably release in October/November) will bring this "ubiquitous" web search feature into Windows Explorer search field as well. That field was the last bastion of CortanaBing-free search on your PC.

Paused? Hahahaha...
And yet you are on the latest build of 1809: 17763.678.
Built a new computer. Clean install of 17763.678, thanks to a script that downloads all the latest bits from Microsoft and assembles an ISO.
-
@levicki well time spent waiting for updates i guess..... but that really only applies when you do like tens of installs per week. if you do any less then it's just noise, and if you're doing that many then it's still noise cause you're going to have at least one other computer to work on while you wait for the updates anyway.

@Vixen said in WTF is happening with Windows 10? And nothing else:

Updates are now cumulative so it's just one latest patch and you are done. Of course if you are updating freshly installed 1607 version of Win10 for some reason then by all means you should integrate hotfixes in the ISO because that will take a while (cumulative patch for 1607 is 1.5 GB download I think at this point and takes quite a while to install).
well.... it was just a guess....

Or maybe I was making a joke suggesting that because I use f.lux I didn't see any difference, because like @hungrier said in WTF is happening with Windows 10? And nothing else:
I've seen that exact behaviour with f.lux
And yes, the bug's description from the article sounds like a problem with Night Light.

true enough.
besides Cortana is the sort of AI that if she's raising a blood stained knife it's to stab the person behind you that's about to stab you.
If she wants to take you out she's going to do it with her bare hands, because you're worth the extra effort.
