Windows 10: Next Windows 10 let you hide Search and Task View buttons

I don't see why anyone would waste their energy complaining about those 2 icons.

Do I need them? No. Do I care about them? No.

 

It's just another option to be able to hide or show them as per each one's own preference. *Smile

 

I think part of it is, a lot of avid users, while eager to try new things, still spend a lot of time tweaking their machine just the way they like it so, when something new comes along, it's like "Arrgh!, what is that!?", "How come I can't move it!?", "What does it do!?", "Is it useful?", "I can't delete it!", "Why did MS put that there!?", etc., etc., etc.
So, if you're tweaking the machine you bought with your own money along with the OS for which you purchased a license with your own money, sudden, seemingly hard-coded changes make one a little antsy.

P.S.:
Not to mention the fact that it seems more and more prevalent for such corporations to use the 'Father knows Best' approach to lay stuff on you whether you like it or not.
Don't wanna mention any names but G**gle is terrible for 'ramming stuff down your throat'.

(Just a thought or two!) *Wink

 

They cannot afford to NOT listen to us PC experts. This time around it's "sink or swim" for their operating system. *Dinesh

 

Can't a reason for something not used to be taking valuable space on Taskbar. With many core processors and so much available RAM on modern computers, opening and leaving open many windows, it gets crowded down there.

 

I doubt it.. they could completely screw it up, and it still wouldn't kill them. Windows 7 is still viable for another 6 years, Windows 8.x is still current for quite some more.. There are still no viable alternatives.

Linux? Linux has a self-destructive multiple personality disorder. As soon as it gets close to looking like they might get their act together, they self-destruct because various "members of the community" don't agree with the direction... They basically have the same problem Microsoft has, but they don't have anyone to "put the boot down" and they just fork off in all directions.

Apple? Apple doesn't WANT to be the big dog. They like being "exclusive" so they can charge premiums on everything. If they were the 90%, they would be common, and that would destroy the apple culture. They like their < 10% status.

ChromeOS? Hardly, there's been no move by anyone (other than, ironically, Microsoft) to support any real apps on ChromeOS.

So, that leaves Microsoft, regardless of what MS gives us, we either have to stick with what we've got, or take what they give us... Certainly, Microsoft can make more money with a successful release, but they won't die if they don't.

 

Except Win7, they stopped sales on it. Secondly, MS must keep on making new OSes, getting stale and not selling new doesn't bring any revenue.

 

I'd rather see a choice in search. The icon could stay, but what it launches would be user configured (Windows Search, new Windows Search (Bing/Cortana), or a 3rd party Modern search app (Google).

I think I've sent feedback to that effect, but will check my files and submit a new one if I only vented about the myriad of search issues.

A new wrinkle I've come across is that many desktop users right click on an app in the search results list to Run as administrator - the new search does not support right click in the results.

 

the win10-9860 iam using does .I have mine set to boot using the start screen and not the new start button ,i got use to the start screen in win8 .

the only thing i cant get to work is the charms bar ,by going to top right corner

 

I know I'm repeating myself.
When I use the search off of the Start Flag I don't want nothing from Bing popping up.
When I use that Search all I want to do is search inside my system.
If I wanted to search on the internet I would open a browser and Bing would not be my search engine.

 

Windows 7 is the best OS from Microsoft since Windows 95. Long live Windows 7!

Note: Those average users who complain about Aero, for crying out loud, just use Classic Theme and speed-up your computer by 15% or more. *Party

 

If that's true then why are you here?
