[AccessD] Further to keyboard problem

[John R Bartow]

I wholeheartedly agree. While I may not be able to run Windows Media Player
on my Windows phone -yet, maybe with the Lumia 950 I could :-P, I certainly
can and will use it on my PCs and other devices capable of doing so.

The pendulum may swing from one end of the arc to the other but I don't have
to. I still love the startup tune for Windows 98.

Yeah, that has been my experience today on the few windows 10 apps I have
tried.  They are too 'bare bones', too many compromises and go 'splat!' too
often for my tastes.  There is absolutely no reason to stop using the
already superior alternatives available. 

I also cannot figure out why anyone would prefer to use a stripped down
phone style app over a better, richer experience using a fully functional
software package, at least when using big and powerful PC unit.

I like my android apps on the phone and they work great on the smaller form
factor, but I much prefer using more powerful and functional software when I
have the choice.

Cheers
Darryl

Not. I just attempted to play iTunes MPEG-4 AAC with "Groove music player"
in Win10. Starts to open the file and crashes. So I right clicked and choose
to always open with Windows Media Player. Worked a charm.

Yeah, I get this a lot.  (and same (non) 'issue' with Irfanview too).  I
think it is because MS cannot believe you would want to use a 3rd party
software solution that is proven, deeply functional and rock solid reliable
over one of their barely functional Apps from their store.

Dunno.  Maybe I am being too cynical.  Or maybe not. :)

I also have to use the shift key with "Power off" option these days to fully
shut down the unit, otherwise it tries to shut down, fails and goes back to
the login screen.

Sleep works as expected though.

Cheers
Darryl

Yep Win-10 is a source of many system changes - Today ( post the latest
update) I got a message that "An app default was reset"
as the original app would not handle the association.

Well I found that IRFANVIEW is no longer handling .gif files 

Well - when I checked, it seems to have no problem with the files.

Re system restore - etc. 
Note
File History is limited in the length of filenames that it can handle, and
when it has not decided to just stop - it puts the backup copies it does
create into an unprotected folder - Oh! yes - and it is quite happy to
'save' sets of outlook files while outlook is updating them! - so move a
folder to archive and you may find the archive save was done before the move
completed, and the source .pst was saved after the folder had been 'removed'

Considering the system restore facility - I note that every so-often my
system response goes to pitifully annoyingly slow as it reads through the
entire OS drive -to update the SINGLE image of the system it maintains.

I use Paragon to create an approximately monthly backup of the partition -
and then weekly/daily backups of things like email and wot I type-in myself.

Regards, and thanks for the detail

Oddly enough, the Win10 problems I've had to deal with were mostly a few
months after the upgrade. Haven't had any after a clean install. AND make
sure it doesn't disable your System Restore! It does this based on some
algorithm in relation to size of storage space but it does not inform you of
"its" decision to do so.

It was a new machine with W8 immediately upgraded to 10. Been using it for a
few months though.
