    Windows files extreme confusion


    like macOS make it not that confusing to find files such as Microsoft store apps, App original location, System file original location, etc.

    macOS definetely is outstanding except for popularity.

    Additional question: Why does windows 10 have a lot of bloatware?

    dont mind the category i couldnt find a bloatware category so i chose closest as possible

    :)

    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

    Windows 10 File system

    Is there any way to eliminate the extremely confusing nested redundancy of the Windows file hierarchy? I'd like to be able to see a list of files that shows each folder only once.
