Windows 10: Enviroment Uservariable: inconsistent behaviour

Hi all


Due to unfortunate Windows Updates and other reasons sometimes it is advisable to cleanup your system and install Windows fresh.


While installing Windows from scratch sometimes in the installprocess something goes wrong and Windows installed first a local admin account. You have to decide what username you should use. After that you can create an other admin-account linked with your microsoft-account To create directly the microsoft-account should be default.


What's now the problem?

Your Username %USERNAME% is different than the Prefix of your associated Microsoft E-Mail-address. E.g:

C:\Users\Surname\

instead of

C:\User\surnameaddress\


Impact

If you have a lot of programs with saved settings and paths which can be imported, it will import the wrong paths!


I don't believe it is a good idea to change the enviroment variable %USERNAME% and the path manually to C:\User\surnameaddress\,


Also what is inconsistent when the installed languague is not English. Some default-Windows-folders ends up sometimes in a mess:

C:\Users\Surname\Documents\

instead of

C:\Users\Surname\Documente\

:)

 

theme inconsistancy on Mango!

phone: HTC Titan windows phone 7.5



Hi all

I just noticed that there is an annoying inconsistency regarding how some application deal with the theme!. Namely:

• Emails (whatever email inbox you use)
• office hub
• games hub

These application ALWAYS use the "light background" theme no matter what theme i Choose!

the question is: is this a buggy behaviour? a design mistake? or intentional inconsistency which is tasteless and not smart???

Inconsistent behaviour of the "approve screentime request" family setting page

I fail to see how that could possibly help. It's not as if the system has stopped recognising me or my children. It knows I am the parent and they are the child, and it knows they have asked for extra time.

It's just that YOUR SYSTEM behaves inconsistently when it receives those requests.

Why should what is clearly inconsistent behaviour by your web server be affected by me going through the hassle of removing and readding my four children?

Note that this inconsistent behaviour happens to all 4 of them. It doesn't matter which of them asks for the extra time, _sometimes_ the "approve-time-request" web page will jump straight to "You gave <child> <duration> extra time. Their settings will revert
to normal <later>." and sometime it'll present a drop-down for me to choose a time extension from (even though I already made that choice when clicking the link in the email the back-end sent me).
