Windows 10: Windows 10 - show windows stacked / show windows side by side NOT WORKING since 4 years!!!

Greetings


I have posted an issue on the 3rd of September, 2015 in the German language. Since the issue is still pending and the unresolved thread was closed (HOW DARE YOU MICROSOFT!!!), I am posting now in the English language.

Summary:

• 1 open window works
• 2 open windows work, although not all space is used
• 3 open windows display wrong (stacked = stacked, side by side = stacked) <= This one is the most important one!
• 4 open windows display wrong (stacked = stacked, side by side = stacked, space is not used, windows have different size)
• 5 open windows work, although not all space is used
• 6 open windows display wrong (stacked = stacked, side by side = stacked, space is not used, windows have different size)
• 7 open windows work, although not all space is used

Offtopic: As I was coloring the text above, I realized that the text color function is broken in such a way that when you've already colored a text and want to color another one, you first have to color a third one in a different color in order to color the second one.


I hereby offer 1 Bitcoin to the first person who can successfully restore full functionality from Windows 8.1 and implement it back into Windows 10! (Microsoft associates are not eligible for the reward.)

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK

Installing Windows 10 using Windows 7 key

Nope, you need to install Windows 10 first and make sure the Windows 7 key is transferred to your Windows account after you've installed Windows 10 (not quite sure how that works). I missed the last step and I could not activate Windows 10 after a re-install... Microsoft seem to have done everything they can to make it a PITA. Also, it's technically too late to do this now anyhow, as the upgrade offer has expired. But KMSPico works quite well...

As for getting rid of Windows, delete the Windows folder.
