Windows 10 Optimization

pje_r_dzik · ‎Oct 17 2023

We need the last update, to be better optimized, because 22H2 runs horribly, especially on HDDs. Opening the Start menu takes 3 seconds, and clicking something in Settings takes 15 seconds (on NEW hardware, tested on Windows 8.1 to run great, using an HDD). Like I tested boot times, in speed, 8.1 was the first (49 seconds), Windows 7 was 2nd (1:17), and Windows 10... 2 minutes and 21 seconds. Even Windows 11 booted a little faster (1:54). You just make kind of a checkbox in the Windows Update tab, "Make Windows faster", that receives the 8.1 boot times and performance. Windows 8.1 uses ~600 MB of RAM, Windows 7 is around 900, but Windows 10 is freaking 2.4 GB of wholesome RAM out there. This horrible experience needs to be fixed.

Propose system is changed to include new functions that operate within each Idea post: - mark as answer - like - sort by likes This would : - allow user to more easily drill down to the answer / most popular responses - allow user to browse similar ranked responses within an idea - complement the existing Sort, Idea Status and Label functions that already exist across ALL ideas

When we create a task/appointment from D365 and it is synchronized with Outlook, only the title and description are copied in Outlook. That entity in D365 could have more data such as the account, contact, etc. When Outlook notifies us the expiration of these activities, we haven't this information and need to search it in D365 manually. It would be nice to have access from the Outlook task/appointment to the D365 that originated it. The most basic would be to add it link to the first line of the description or to the beginning/end of the title. Another possibility would be a specific field. Thank you.

It would be nice if we could link the tasks with deadlines/dates we create in the to do app to our outlook calendar so that they are better synchronized together. Also the ability to switch from one app to the other is a bit of a struggle. On one hand outlook calendar amongst other nice features, allows me to have a broad overview of things that need to be done during my week . On the other hand to do allows me to have a very basic but clear view of all my tasks by category and to very easily check/uncheck what's done. A combination of both things would be very cool

Good evening, I wanted to share this idea I have. I would really want to start working on it but for that I need some support. The idea is that while I was using my laptop and I had to select @ symbol which I was not able to select with one key since it does not have separate key on the keyboard. I totally understand the idea of minimizing keys on keyboard because it has to be accessible. I realized that selection of different symbols and others keys we all have to use shift button. This sometimes really gets irritating if you type a lot like me. Especially when you have your nails done it gets more hard. I was thinking why not making it accessible to everyone by creating the feature in keyboard and excluding the use of shift key. It could be having the same to be used for features for instance key for 1 has ! as well. The same key can be press one time if you would want to use 1 like it is right now in all kinds of laptops. But for the ! Increasing the time of selecting the key results ! will be typed. Which would make ease for tons of people. I understand the pain when you type fast and has to select two keys. I usually likes to do multi tasking I would type with one hand but I have to use sometime both hands to select symbols and other characters. It sounds very simple but I feel like it would be big change and ease for all of us.

It would be useful if you could change the colour of a category of calendar invites within Outlook, as currently, if it's scheduled as a reoccurring meeting, you can only change the entire series and not just the individual invite. It's frustrating when I use the colours to easily show location (e.g. virtual or in -person meeting) and can't change each individual invite.

Hi Team, most of the organisations work on email sent form customers which are viewed in outlook. There are multiple folders created as per their process for segregation of process emails. I work in a customer support team where we have multiple mailboxes and multiple folders in everyone of them. Some cases get moved incorrectly to the deleted folder in a particular mailbox sometimes. If we can create reminders when moving certain snails from the actual mailbox it will make the user think if all the actions have been completed in that email before moving to deleted folder. We are able to create reminders to meeting and follow up mails. If there is a way to create reminders to the emails in the primary folder to any other it would minimise the number of emails left out due to human error.

Can we add "saved views" as a feature with the new navigation pane that is available through the Office Insider program? For example, I have a spreadsheet with 30 columns, and I want to hide/unhide columns and save them as views so that users don't have to scroll right. This would be an alternative to the group and ungroup functionality, which I don't like because you can't label the groups, and each time you add a group it adds more padding to the top of the spreadsheet making the data itself less visible.

New MTC Members have trouble finding helpful content, and I think such a change is needed. Please support.

The planner connector really needs to have a way to upload file content from onedrive other than using a resourcelink through appending variable actions. This would save everyone a ton of time, and would allow the community to use individually uploaded file content rather than use a shared link for the community using someone's personal onedrive. It would be nice to see some consistency between app usage.

When I save a file whether that be word, excel etc. I would like the ability to have spellchecker on the filename that I choose to save the file, this would help anyone with writing/spelling difficulties to keep file name correct.

This idea came while I was using my laptop at the University. I didn't realize that I wasn't using a power saving mode and my battery was drown too fast. So, I thought... What if some configurations (like which energy mode) auto-active while detecting which wifi am I using? For example, when the laptop detects that I connected to the University or Office wifi, it automaticly activates the power saving mode. After that, when I connect to my home wifi the power saving mode deactivates and the high performance mode activates. I think this idea would be interesting because users won't need to use their gps location to activate this rutines. The idea could be apply to many "configurable" things such as the energy mode, brightness, volume (automute), blocking some programs (like videogames or distractions)... Thanks you for reading my and I hope my English isn't so bad (Sorry, i'm not native)

Hi! I know my description wasn't so understandable haha i explain it better (I apologize in advance if the feature already exists haha): I'm a Microsoft Edge user, and it's great that you can have multiple tabs in one window, but at least in my knowledge, you can only "separate" one single tab at a time from its current window. So if you have a window with 9 tabs, and you want for example determinated 4 out of 9 tabs in its own window... it's lot of work to separate each one of them and then get them all 4 into their own window. I imagine the solution as "selecting" tabs (just like you can "select" documents in a folder) and then drag them all together out. Selecting with the mouse would be difficult, selecting by pressing shift and then click every tab you want to select would work i think. It would also be suuper helpful to be able to "name" a microsoft edge window. Imagine you're researching about idk technology, and soon the first 5 tabs you have are about general topics, and then you find something interesting, idk a new processor model and start reading about it, and that's other 9 tabs. And there you find info about the strategy they used, and that's other 6 tabs i think you got the point. I would then find it cool to be able to "select" the first 5 tabs, drag them out to their own window and name the window "general topics". And if there would be an option to save the window as a collection (the name and its 5 URLs), it would just be wow respect. Thank you for reading!!

Hello everyone, because Microsoft announced Windows 11, I have an idea for a better user experience. Microsoft could include music during the OOBE (the part of the setup where you can create your user account and connect to the internet) process, something similar to Windows XP. They could remix the theme or create a new one. If you don't want to hear music during OOBE, you could disable it with a button. I believe that this could lead to a better user experience. ~codeleo07

Summary: Tag sections of work so that the important information is conveniently searchable rather than the whole page and can be viewed alongside work with the same tags across applications For example, allow dynamic highlighting, of notes from powerpoint, onenote and word, excel etc. that then formats that information into a 'box' that you can give tags (e.g. select information via a system like the 'capture selected portion' for screen-shotting on a mac). These tags can then be searched which will list each box with that keyword that can be scrolled through. This is because simply searching a keyword can give you excessive amount of hits that might not be that important to what you want, usually you can only view the results from one app, search only gives a brief summary and often you will only be able to view one search result at a time in a clunky manner as it will show you the full page rather than just the information that you want. This would be so helpful as a student as there are things that might have only been a footnote one day that I didn't pay attention to or can't remember which file it was originally from which a year later might have a whole lecture on and I want to compare notes. It may also have been a part of several different lecturers taught by many people which I organised in different apps (some powerpoint, some word) which on its own is only a small part but together gives a big picture view of completely different aspects of a topic that might be part of an essay etc. Great if: -each tag can be given a priority sub-tag e.g. definition, worked exam question/problem solving etc that specifies the order it will be shown in -it creates a split screen from the app you were originally working from -you could double tap to allow you to move around the 'box' and see the text surrounding what was tagged (particularly in word/onenote) -hyperlink the words that have been used as tags to quickly enter the splitscreen -you can save the search results into a word document or OneNote page (bonus if it can automatically update with new information or the boxes can be moved around into different orders) Here is a brief sketch to visualise my idea, left is the original app the user is working on right shows the search results.

Needs Redesign for the File Explorer, System Apps like Notepad, Task Manager, Control Panel Context menu and other menu.

If a user makes a comment under a post and then after a minute or two, decides to post another, merge the new comment with the previous one. the timer can be set to 5 mins which is a reasonable amount of time. this feature will help organize and tidy up threads and avoid spam-like behavior. I think it's pretty clear what this idea is about but if you need an example, please let me know.
