Was Windows Vista really a bad operating system?
After a 6 year drought from Microsoft, in 2007, Microsoft launched its new operating system: Vista. Right off the bat its system requirements were higher simply because of the great features that it had up its sleeve. Most people regarded many of the new features as unnecessary and termed it as bloatware, which I would consider unreasonable. Undoubtedly, Vista had its fair share of bugs and issues, but nothing is perfect, right? Mainly the reason that I think that Vista had all these bugs and issues was probably due to the fact that Microsoft was probably pressed for time, as they reset development of what was supposed to be Vista, also known to some as Windows Codename Longhorn. This time pressure may have resulted in Microsoft attempting to hurry the launch as I believe that XP was starting to get a little outdated. Furthermore, I believe that consumers also let their hopes a little too high, understandibly, since Microsoft had not launched a new version in 6 years, evoking thoughts that Microsoft was working on something really big. Honestly speaking, we should not really vent at the bad things about Vista, because if you look at modern operating systems, features that set them apart from legacy operating systems, whether you talk about looks, design, functionality, or redundancy were mainly pioneered in Windows Vista. Even competing operating systems can be found with features that first appeared in Vista. This just goes to say that if Vista did not exist, or if such an OS was not made, then modern tools that are ubiquitous and taken for granted would have not existed. So in conclusion, Vista had its bugs and issues, and was not well recieved, and it makes sense, but Vista is the sturdy foundation of modern OSes, and it is that huge leap of faith which paid off in its twin successor, aka everyone's favorite version of Windows, the beloved Windows 7, which is just Vista 2.0 with more consistency if you ask me.

computer viruses not removed with windows defender products
windows 7-8-10: Windows defender does not work well as an antivirus program . I am wondering why MS doesnt tell customers to buy an antivirus program and continue to use it. i found an ISASS.exe in my computer . it took over about 30 percent of the folders. i tried to quaranine it and report it . i couldnt it attacks the security options first and greyed them out so i couldnt submit the problem. i took those computers to BEST BUY STAPLES OFFICE MAX and other private tech services. no one could actually remove the virus. i bought a new hard drvie at BEST BUY.. the computer was there for 3 days. At the store on pick up a hacker started to elongate the scroller button on the scroll bar side. i told the tech the virus was still in my system. they charged me $250 anyway.. said if there was a problem bring it back. i tried four times no one removed it !! NEVER take it out of the store if you see the same issue. I want to know why MS never helps targeted customers get those viruses out and why you dont have a more aggressive program to remove those kind of thnigs. I SASS.exe is not new but Windows defender in 7-8 10 doesnt remove any of it. we are brainwashed not to be concerned about it. thats how you end up buying three more computers cause the original one is over taken and crashed. Also EN US is an african hacking ring not an english based language progrm. PAM TOLL PARK FOREST IL Jan 14 2021

Third party involvement..
I've always liked windows in the past. I just now started using computers again for work after around twenty years. It is taking time to get used to windows with micrososft. It seems that it is to obvious that a third party is in my computer. Compared to setting up my Mac Notebook, windows has been a complete headache in many ways. Is there a way to use windows 10 without it being obvious that a third party is working with windows? Also it seems not to link to google properly, I had to download chrome just to be able to keep working, I would like to use windows again.

downloads issue
I cannot download any apps to update my printer since i installed Windows 10

Blue Screen with PFN_LIST_CORRUPT msg after Windows Update
I have a fairly new desktop PC running Windows 10 Pro. The last two Windows Updates have caused the system to crash, displaying the blue screen and the error message PFN_LIST_CORRUPT. The only way I have been able to get my system operating again is to log on in safe mode and uninstall the update. While this means I can still continue to work, it also means that my Windows OS will be out of date going forward. I would like to know exactly what is causing the issue and how to fix it. Has anyone else had this issue? Do you know how to figure out what the cause is? In the meantime, if I find out I will post my answer here.
