It failed once recently after an system update. Blank desktop with no shell. Had to ctrl-shift-esc and manually download latest `ep_setup.exe` and run it to get the desktop back. https://devblogs.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/20230324-00/?p=10... Raymond did not point out which "desktop enhancement software" it was but I suspect this is it.

I like this part: > We have to hope that enough of the users whose systems are crashing realize that it’s due to the “shell enhancement” program (rather than blaming Windows itself, which is the more likely case) I would 100% blame Windows (or Microsoft, rather) for making the shell so awful that people have to resort to these tactics. You can't cripple the steering wheel on a car and then blame people for not findin…

I remember a time when microsoft would test their software before deploying it.

The START MENU? TEN YEARS? My friend, how about simple file management? They've been at that for DECADES and still can't get it right? "Oh, you dragged something over the top of a network drive in Explorer, let me waste the next 3-5 minutes trying to connect to that drive for you". Or how about this: "Oh you plugged in a USB drive that was setup as a live CD? Let me crash for a second and mash your MBR to bits". How…

I don't use windows daily but was trying to add an additional keyboard layout (US English) to a family member's windows 10 PC today. Searching for such a simple thing in the control panel was infuriating to say the least. I finally found it, random clicking in every potential places and it was in the most unintuitive place you could think of. You would expect "keyboard layout" search to bring helpful results but it d…

just wait till windows randomly decides to add some other layouts and mess with the switching order

That kind of attitude leads to user blaming. I have fond memories of the workgroup network scan freezing my computer for extended durations in the xp days

Or just download a large file, choose save as on a drive other than the C drive because it is too big, and watch IE proceed to fill up the temp dir on the C drive, completely ignoring the fact you asked to save on another drive. Or if you had enough space, still waste minutes copying the deleting the file...

haha! can totally relate

that 'save to temp-dir first and copy later' behavior is so frustrating because it's inconsistently applied and not easily avoided, yet somewhat incomprehensible to the average user.

I went to https://win11-svelte.vercel.app/ , opened up Edge, then went to https://win11-svelte.vercel.app/ , opened up Edge, then went to https://win11-svelte.vercel.app/ , opened up Edge, .... Silly but entertaining in a slow morning. : )

you won't believe how many times people have told me that & have become fascinated by this thing alone :)

If at all possible, The links in edge should open in a tab in edge. That'll be awesome to have

I'm enjoying how simple some of this actually is. Here's the full implementation of VS Code for example: https://github.com/yashash-pugalia/win11-svelte/blob/main/sr... It's just 44 lines of code - it works by opening a window with an iframe that points to https://stackblitz.com/github/yashash-pugalia/win11Svelte?em...

best part is you can nest the website in the vs code preview window

I still can't believe how buggy the start menu has been since Windows 8, released TEN YEARS ago.

The start menu was not released 10 years ago. the start menu was released when windows 11 was released. Yes, it's still called the start menu. No, it is not the same application, nor does it share any code with previous applications. Now, my new TV has an interface where if press the favorites list button and don't touch anything, it times out and closes. The problem is, if I keep scrolling through the favorite chann…

i hope we can agree that if functionality was not a priority while reimplementing, it should not replace a working product.

Time and pressure, isn't it? And they've had plenty of time.
