Windows 10: Concept for potential new Windows edition to cater to the large group of users who prefer a...

Similar to how versions of Windows before Windows 10 were designed, Microsoft could have a special edition that has a major update every 3-5 years where users pay a higher price to reduce tracking and cloud integration or to reenable legacy features, and have an extended period which lasts for about the same time but with a one month grace period so users have an opportunity to save up a little longer for the next version, but unlike LTSC the version could still have feature updates and would be licensed for home use.

Show Local users and Groups


Hello Frank, and welcome to Ten Forums.

If you have the Windows 10 Home edition, then it will not have Local Users and Groups (lusrmgr.msc) included in it. It's only available in the Pro and Enterprise editions instead.

If you like, you could use step 3 in OPTION THREE of the tutorial below list users in a group.

Creating a new tiles group in windows 10

Hi everyone,

I was trying to figure out how to do this, and I ran into the same grief.

So, now that I know how to do it, I thought I'd post what works for me.

When you open the Start Menu, you have two large, vertical sections.

• On the left, a list of your "Most used" programs.
• On the right, your groups of Tiles ... and the location we want to create a new group.
  
  The first tile group in this list is probably titled "Life at a glance."

A few basic things to know

• Both of these two lists in the Start Menu are vertically scrollable.
• Each tile group is separated so that each one falls below the next.
• The title for each group is left-aligned in the space between tile groups.
• If you hover your mouse pointer over the space between tile groups (or over a group's title), you'll see a little menu icon appear to the right of the title (right-aligned). It looks like two horizontal lines. In mobile webpages, it's often referred to
  as a mobile menu or hamburger menu. It's not a menu here. I don't know what Microsoft calls it, so I'm going to call it a Grab Handle (it'll make sense shortly).
• Your existing Tile groups are all stacked one above the other on the right side,
  but there's always one group hidden at the very bottom of the list. If you scroll down and look, you'll see an empty space at the bottom of your tiles list that's larger than the space between your existing
  tile groups.
  
  Let's call this the "New Tile Group space."
• The Start Menu creates a new group when you drag an icon into the "New Tile Group space."
  
  It doesn't matter if the icon comes from the left list of "Most used" programs or from somewhere else in the Tiles list. Simply drag it down there, and voila! A new tile group.

If you click on the space between tile groups, of if you click on a "Grab Handle," you can add or edit the name for the tile group immediately below it, including your new group.

If you want to change the placement of any tiles, simply drag them to where you want them.

If you want to change the order of your tile groups, simply grab the "Grab Handle," and drag the group up or down to where you want it to sit in the tiles list.

A suggestion...

If you're going to create a new group by dragging an icon from the left "Most used" list, I'd suggest scrolling the tiles list (on the right) to the very bottom first. You'll have that "New Tile Group space" immediately accessible to drop your icon onto
-- without having to mess with trying to make the list auto scroll while dragging.

That's it.

I get the whole desire to cater to mobile and finger navigation, but wouldn't also having an option button or link make a whole lot of sense?

 

New Video – Windows 10 Redstone Concept


Hopefully its just a concept and will stay that way. I don't mind any of the other changes, they can add tabs if they want but I dispise settings menu, control panel is superior and if they tweak explorer to how it is in the video well that is stupid. I like the 8.1 concept with the ribbon on top because I use it quite frequently. I'm going to feedback this asap.

Forcing that stupid change on the Explorer window is another example of catering to tablets and not the PC. While they can add tabs, I don't care about that, not that I would use it anyways, because edge sucks itself I prefer my classic explorer and ribbon. The other changes are welcome this is not.

This is catering to tablets and removing more functionality by making it "simplified" or "dumbed down" and I do not like it.
This is how the window should stay.
