Windows 10 19H1: All the Changes We Know So Far

[Factum]

As Windows evolves, desktop components, like the Control Panel, are being phased out in favor of the Settings Panel - The Control has been deliberately removed from the right click Start menu. This is a regression, not an advancement in relation to a desktop OS. I want my desktop to behave like a desktop and retain a desktop UI, I don't want my desktop to behave like a phone with a large, clunky phone UI.

Running Compiz my desktop is every bit as smooth and responsive as Windows using Nvidia hardware/drivers. I'm tempted to try Plasma, it looks perfect and I never had a problem with KDE in the past.

Hit the [WIN] key...type : Con, hit [ENTER]

I don't use UI menus when I know where/want I want to do.

Let go of the mouse...

You just provided the proof.

A 360 degree hinge with an attached keyboard does not equal a mobile device. It's a laptop with a touch screen most won't use and a keyboard with a 360 degree hinge.

Which, by your definition, means a phone with a physical keyboard is not and has never been a mobile device.

I mean I thought it was obvious...

Last time I tried standard windows 10 pro, I would uninstall candy crush and then it would update within 24 hours and return. I kid you not I did this about 15 times before I just uninstalled and reinstalled. It did it again. Got so fed up with MS pushing crap I didnt want even with updates turned off I just installed LTSB and havent looked back. The MS store system is garbage and the force fed updates lack of real control is a real shame in the consumer versions of Win 10.

I use the Pro version as I could get a retail key for about $20. Since then I bought more for friends and family at around $10. OEM keys go for even less and can be transferred (in the future, if need be) the same way as retail for some time now.
I can always get what I want from the store and I set the updates to the slow ring.

The only problem I had was with MS Edge, but I could fix that in about five minutes (both times). This is a track record that I'm not willing to sacrifice in case of something that I use daily.
I try the alternatives from time to time, but they don't tip the scale for me. Maybe, when I finally get around to set up my home-use server, which will have Linux of course.
