Windows 10 is a solid OS but they trash it with these awful little pointless decisions
While those are definitely irritations I would like to add something a little (IMO) more important: file path limits.
I can fudge around it in various ways, but it is infuriating:

- naikrovek 8y agoThe 250-something character path limit was removed several versions ago. It's a 32k limit, now. Everyone: update your complaints when the situation changes, please.
- SmellyGeekBoy 8y agoIf Linux users still have to put up with people constantly regurgitating 20-year-old complaints like wifi and audio not working then Windows users should have to put up with it too ;)
- hashhar 8y agoFor me the Wifi issues in Linux are not 20 year old. They happen to me almost once every week randomly. It depends a lot on your modem manufacturer though.
- frabbit 8y agoThe version currently available to us through our IT department suffers from the limit. The updates you mention are held back from us because of 2 problems: one of them being a bitlocker lock-out. Summary: this is a real, current problem experienced in the enterprise which disrupts work. It's all very well being a lone Dev upgrading to Harvest Festival Cutename at your whim.... but the reality of enterprise updates are that Windows is cumbersome compared to Linux.
- naikrovek 8y agoWell what do you want? You can't expect anyone to go back in time to improve your situation for you. The 250-character path limit is gone. It's fixed. You not adopting it is a wholly separate issue.
