  1. Bug that forces me to start with a pin


    What gives Microsoft the right to impose this obligatory ( because there is no way around it) pin nonsense.

    I have had windows 10 for a couple of years and it is a pain in the fundamental orifice, the way they just take over ones computer at any time to do an upgrade. when done there is another imposition placed on my system. the latest is this pin garbage. I have managed successfully with using my password for the last couple of years. Now, this stupid controlling directive has been instituted.

    Do these computer engineers just sit down and design this garbage so they might justify their jobs? Well I say enough is enough. stop the ****. If you must implement stuff like this give the consumer the right to opt out on the initial page and MAKE IT SIMPLE STUPID.

    having to hard stop my computer and restart it is the only way around the problem .

    I despair at the fact that younger folk ( I am over 80) put up with this type of treatment from a provide years ago somebody would be likely to get hurt.

    :)

    No Option to Pin to Start


    So there's no option to have recent docs directly from the start if the program is pinned to the start menu now?
    That seems like a step backward
