This article introduces you to several failed designs in Windows 10. The content is very detailed. Interested friends can refer to it for reference. I hope it can help you.

It has been nearly six years since the first version of Windows 10 was released. Although Microsoft has been changing and changing during this period, in reality, everyone's complaints have not decreased at all. Especially after the last few updates, the habitual Bug for Bug, make people every time update like an enemy. In fact, compared with endless bugs, many of the "useless" designs in Win 10 are more troublesome. For example, the next few items can be called classics in "waste wood"!

1. Taskbar Search Box

The search box is one of the highlights of Windows 10. In order to improve its exposure, Microsoft even arranged it in the taskbar, which is a "geomantic treasure." However, contrary to expectations, due to the forced binding of Bing search engine and Edge browser, many domestic users keep away from it. What's more, Microsoft doesn't provide users with any modification methods. Although this design can increase the share of Bing and Edge somewhat, more people choose to forget!

2. Contana.

Microsoft Xiaona is a voice assistant software similar to Apple Siri, but due to the lack of ecological chain and various congenital deficiencies, Xiaona's actual opening rate is not high. A lot of people have a big impression of it, that is, they have to search for everything. No matter weather query, parameter adjustment, software startup, data search..., Xiaona's answer is always the classic "Sorry, I can't help you in this regard." Although there is a lack of localization adaptation and a lack of functionality after the revision, compared to the name of voice assistant, such performance is really chilling!

3. dark mode

I don't know when night mode began to appear on computers and mobile phones. Win10 also adapted to this change, developing a set of "dark mode." To be precise, Windows 10's dark mode consists of two parts, one is the "dark theme" under the personalization panel, and the other is the "night mode" in the display panel. Unfortunately, even if Microsoft is so "careful," the final result is still unsatisfactory: Win 10's dark theme is too dark, and night mode is too dazzling. Especially in the Explorer component that has not yet completed the UWP transformation, the effect of switching the dark theme is really embarrassing. At the same time, because there is no "dynamic desktop" that can change with time like Apple's system, it has become the "brightest" child in the night sky. The best interpretation of Win10 dark mode is to fight for each other!

Windows 10 and Mac OS Night Mode Comparison

In contrast, MacOS night mode appears to be a lot of coordination, in addition to the main interface darkened, including Finder, Dock, iTunes, Calendar and other applications will also change accordingly. Coupled with the unique "dynamic desktop" function, it can be said that MacOS has taken the lead in realizing automatic switching between day and night mode, and its practicality is not the same as Win10.

4. Notification Center

Notification center is also one of the features of Windows 10, initially Microsoft wanted to refer to the mobile phone system, for Windows 10 to establish a unified set of information containers. However, contrary to expectations, due to the embarrassment of the UWP ecosystem, the vast majority of PC users (at least domestic PC users) still use traditional Win32 software, and the notification center does not have much use (Win32 notifications are independently managed). In addition, the shortcut buttons set at the bottom of the notification center are not very attractive to most PC users, and are more favored by tablet users.

5. your phone

Given the failure of the Windows Phone project, Microsoft began to shift its attention to the collaborative interconnection of PCs and mobile phones. "Your phone" in Windows 10 is the best embodiment of this function. From the current public information, Microsoft wants to achieve mobile phone interoperability similar to MAC system through this set of components.

You may have heard of Huawei's "multi-terminal collaboration," but do you know Win10's "your phone"?

The question is, why haven't so many people used it? The reason is simple: Microsoft demands too much, and it is not friendly enough to domestic users. For example, if you want to use Internet software, at least install an APP for your mobile phone, but Microsoft suddenly wants to install Microsoft Launcher. In fact, this Microsoft Launcher is a mobile Launcher(similar to a computer desktop). In other words, to experience Microsoft connectivity, the first step is to abandon your own habits and switch to Microsoft's own Launcher software.

This is a screenshot of Microsoft's "Your Phone." It can be seen that the current functions are very comprehensive.

For Android users, the phone must have Google Play Services. This point may not be anything for foreign users, but in the domestic market where domestic phones are popular, this is actually equivalent to excluding the vast majority of Chinese users (domestic mobile phones basically do not have built-in services). Coupled with more and more of the same type of software on the market (such as Huawei's multi-terminal collaboration, Dell Mobile Connect), you can get more comprehensive features than you without effort, why use Microsoft?

6. dynamic lock

"Dynamic Lock" is a feature of Windows 10 login panel that automatically locks the screen after the user leaves. Originally, this was a very practical function. Think about it, after leaving the office, the computer could automatically lock up, which was both safe and tall. However, the actual situation was far from as good as imagined. The delay rate of this function was quite high. Almost everyone had already walked far away before the system started the lock screen late. This time difference may not be anything for ordinary applications, but for a security software, I can only think of it!

Of course, the flaws do not hide the flaws. Overall, Win10 highlights still outweigh the shortcomings. In particular, the continuous update of some key modules (such as Edge, images, screenshots, etc.) has virtually narrowed the gap between Win10 and other mainstream systems. But as the article says, Microsoft's response to changes and updates in many places is too slow, and even changing a set of icons takes months to complete. Back in the system, various "rotten tail" modules are everywhere (such as resource manager, night mode, etc.), all of which virtually reduce Win10's score in mind.

In other words, the problem with Win10 is actually the difference between semi-finished products and mature products. This is not only a difference in the use of feelings, but also a psychological gap. Perhaps this is the main reason why many people prefer to use unsupported Windows 7 rather than upgrade Windows 10!

About Windows 10 very failed several designs are what to share here, I hope the above content can be of some help to everyone, you can learn more knowledge. If you think the article is good, you can share it so that more people can see it.
