I agree with this - I feel like Windows has gotten much better at catering to delivering (or allowing other people to deliver) more targeted UX improvements. Once upon a time Fences was a requirement to be alive - now instant searching in the start menu means I hardly ever see my desktop - similarly universal key combinations (and global key capture) have let things like media keys really take off - being able to pause a video that skipped to the next entry in the playlist without ever backing out of a different fullscreen app is kinda beautiful.
Heck, I've got, and regularly use, an iPad and had no idea you could go into split screen mode - the UX is entirely invisible and un-intuitive - especially if you pick up something running older iOS and need to remember how to pull up the carousel.
- gowld 7y agoHow do you get search to work? For me, Windows Search Indexer just uses 100% CPU forever.
- munk-a 7y agoOh sorry - I almost never use search in the context of documents - I use it for programs I need to pull up. I don't need a document search all that much as I generally store things by project and am only ever working on a modest set of files at a given time. If you're looking for a good finding utility I might suggest grepwin[1] which does a great job finding things fast. 1. https://tools.stefankueng.com/grepWin.html https://tools.stefankueng.com/grepWin.html
