MS is having problems in China, so it decided to “modify” W10 for the Chinese government.

There are no specifics, but what do you bet one of the changes will be related to “Privacy Settings”? Folks all over the world have expressed concerns over what and how ‘depersonalized data’ is being collected…but the Chinese government more so…wonder why?

In the past, China has managed to get its own official versions of Windows XP.

This happened on Windows 7 and 10(current). Fences V2.13

Desktop Pages while enabled will cause heavy write activity on HDD and probably SSDs(I don't have one). Confirmed by HDD activity light and Task Manager.

A previous post in 2012 mentioned this problem and suggests disabling Desktop Pages.

in windows 8 task manager will show harddrive usage increase when moving mouse around desktop screen. climbs to 80% and drops as soon as mouse stops.

 

it only happens on the desktop. not over windows

 

disable fences and move mouse around desktop screen and problem doesn't show.

 

enable fences again and move mouse around desktop screen and disk usage appears.

Shadows always Blink W10 Wfx v6

With custom open and close animations no matter which, the shadows always blink when opening new windows that are not maximized.

As well with system shadows or using ShadowFX so it has nothing to do with the latter.

 

GPU is NVIDIA GTX760, CPU 3.4 Quad, Windows 10 Pro, 64-bit.

 

While it's somewhat minor it's also major as it creates a huge eye sore every time a window is opened or closed, that's not maximized. Dialogue windows, etc. Sometimes it doesn't...

MICROSOFT STOLE MY SPECCYLast night I started my machine out of hibernation to be presented with the log on screen, (normally it goes to my desktop), after logging on I had a pale blue screen and in large letters a message; ‘YOUR COMPUTER HAS BEEN UPDATED’, this was there for a few seconds before being replaced with ‘NONE OF YOUR FILES HAVE BEEN MOVED OR CHANGED, THEY ARE STILL IN THEIR ORIGINAL PLACE’ or words to that effect. My first thoughts were. Sh*t, I’ve been...

Java deletion - 3 years later

So, it's been almost 3 years to the day since I started the thread that I was deleting Java from all my computers. I have just *finally* run into something that requires Java to run. The soundsense plugin for Dwarf Fortress requires you to have Java running

Kind of a bummer, but not enough to get me to install Java at this point. Been playing the game for a month or two without it anyway, and was interested to start using that as well. Not for the music so much (I'd have turned that ...

Somethimes an emply icon appears for a 'running program'. This is the path to said program: C:\Windows\system32\ApplicationFrameHost.exe

I never opened this program so it must be objectdock picking up a program running in the backgroud as a false foreground program opened by the user.

I saw this post: http://forums.stardock.com/374308/page/1/#2516121

I wonder if anything has been implemented thus far.  I understand the art argument...but I also feel the same about most being animated way to fast for my taste when it comes to the serene animations (water moving too fast, lightning striking too fast. etc etc)

Icon arrangement retore

Hello -

I'm running Windows 7 and Fences 2.0. 

I know how to restore snapshots of the fences layout, but all that is restored is the fences layout itself, not the icon arrangement - leaving me with my fences and a pile of icons outside of my fences on my Desktop.

Does anyone know how to restore so that the icons are grouped back into the proper fence?

 

Thank you!

I work for a software company in Chicago as a UX Director. I was wondering how game development processes handles User Experience? Do you staff UX professionals? Is it typical to have discussions around what the best gaming experience would be? Just curious how the the game development industry is different than traditional UX in software.  

 

Thanks for any insight!
