Your comment regarding network outages is an issue on macOS as well with certain apps. FileMaker is a good example. Just putting my laptop to sleeps breaks its network connection to the FileMaker server I need to use for $Employer to the point I have to restart FileMaker and login to my $Employer’s system every time my laptop wakes up. I wonder it your issues is more to do with crappy apps rather than windows itself?
- nothal 7y agoOne of my first software roles was working with a legacy FileMaker database where most of the business logic was built directly into different GUI elements. I do not envy your work.
- makecheck 7y agoCertainly 3rd-party apps may have issues but it’s easy to encounter hiccups with just Windows Explorer (e.g. mapped drive letters popping up one message per drive on disconnect), OneDrive (login prompts), even Outlook and Skype. In the case of Outlook, it seems to enter a state of perpetual “exclamation point” after a disconnect that can only be resolved by forcing it to restart.
