It's getting worse

Thanks, Slice! This one gets printed. But I won't wait five hours for it to verify the files I have on this computer, since it's pretty much bare bones with Office 365 installed.

 

Why is everything slowly getting worse???

Ok, it seems that with every update, with every new whatever, little things start to get worse and worse.

First of all, the biggest issue, bluetooth. My motherboard has built-in bluetooth, and it used to work with Windows 7. Now with Windows 10, no matter what I do with the drivers (I've downloaded them from the Asus website for Windows 10, I've uninstalled
everything and restarted to let Windows install their own drivers, etc.) it never works anymore. There are no errors, the device manager says everything is working fine, it'll just sit there "searching" and never finding anything. Yes, BT is enabled in bios,
yes, I turned make the computer discoverable on, yes, I've done the same with the device I'm trying to connect it to, the dots keep moving forever, but neither the computer nor the device will see each other.

Now on to the little things that just get worse and worse. First thing, from Windows 7 to Windows 10, now when I pull up the calculator using the button on my keyboard, first it never comes to the front anymore like it used to, it'll just flash on my taskbar
and I'll have to click on it. Then to add insult to injury, even after you bring it to the front, you can't start typing, you'll have to then click into the numbers part before you can start typing out the numbers... I'm sure if you're on a touch device, you'll
just start touching the number on the screen and all is fine and dandy, but I'm on my desktop, the machine I do a ton of photoshop on so no I don't want a touchscreen to leave a ton of smudges on my screen and also reaching all the way to my screen is so much
less convenient than the number pad that's right in front of me on my keyboard...

So, how come in Windows 7, when I press the calculator shortcut key on my keyboard, the calculator pops up, right in the front, then I just start typing away and it'll work. Now I have to press it, click the task bar icon, then click the box, then type??
Why did a 2 step process become a 4 step process? How is this progress??

Now this next thing got worse from 7 -> 10, but then just now got even worse with the latest update... When my computer is sleeping or the screen auto times out, I used to be able to simply wake it up then start typing my password. That was on Windows 7.
Then Windows 10 came along and I have some useless other screen I have to get past before I can start typing my password... Really? Why add an unnecessary step??? Well, instead of fixing this, this last update made it even worse. Now after you wake it up,
you can't get past that first unnecessary screen with the keyboard anymore, now you have to click with the mouse to get it to go away... REALLY???

Again, I know if you're using a touch device, you would have swiped with your finger on that screen anyway, but again, I'm on my desktop. Why is it that everything that was accomplished in one simple step with the keyboard in Windows 7 now takes additional
pointless steps that require the mouse????

Can you guys fix these things? I know they sound small, but they are things I use every day and it's annoying that now everything little thing I do takes twice as long because now it takes all of these unnecessary motions and clicks, and steps, and switching
back and forth between my keyboard and my mouse...

And then what about Outlook? When I try to access Outlook from my mobile devices, 80% of the time I simply get a white screen with "Bad Request" and there's nothing I can do. I've tried this with both mobile Firefox for Android, and the native BB10 browser.
I know you guys don't care about fixing things for BB10, but it does it on Android too. You should care about that right? I asked this question before and a MS representative responded seeming so eager to help, asked what browser I was using, and when I mentioned
BB10, the rep ignored me from that point forward. I've messaged several times after that and still never a reply... Thanks for the wonderful customer service. Now all of these questions relate to a Windows based system, so hopefully you guys are motivated
to try to correct these things at least...
