With its successful launch on 29th
July, 2015, Windows 10 has bagged over 75 million installations in its first
month. But what was assumed to be a glitch-free software, turned out to be
filled with a number of bugs. Microsoft acknowledges these bugs and has already
released several automatic software.
This article is mainly about all those
bugs, which have been discovered and confirmed by Microsoft itself. These are
not common bugs like crashing, freezing, etc., but bugs that are realistic.
1) Typing Features Do Not Work Everywhere
The Typing feature has been added in Windows 10. The
first option ----- proves to be handy in touch-screens. When the space bar
is clicked twice at the end of a sentence the user will see a period, a space
and then capital next letter.
For the onscreen keyboard, Play key sounds as I type option is very useful.
Bug: When these
options are checked, nothing happens in the mail or other applications.
2) Dragging Items In Start Button Is Ineffective
When an
item is dragged to be pinned to the Start button, the tooltip displays the
message “Pin To Start Menu”.
Bug: When the user removes the mouse
from the icon (or finger if you are using touch screen) nothing will happen.
The icon will not appear on Start menu.
3) Assigned Access is Not Operable
Similar
to Windows 8, you will find locked-off mode known as Assigned Access in Windows 10 as well. This option enables the
users to run only one program. The user can’t switch apps, make any changes and
therefore not get into some trouble. It is very useful if you have your kids up
your nose all the time for using your system.
Bug: the problem with this feature
is that when the user logs in with the specific account, the screen sometimes
blink wildly and in some cases may end up in showing off-limits desktop.
In
Tablets, it gets a lot more worse and the user cannot get out of this mode. At
the end, the user needs to restart the system in order to resume the normal
working.
4) Guest Account Is Of No Use
The Guest Account is an ideal option to
ensure the privacy of your system while someone is just temporarily using it.
The account menu will list all the Guest Accounts.
Bug: Even if the user chooses the
Guest Account name, he will see the login screen of his account only. There is
no way to log into the Guest Account.
5) Start Menu Cannot Be Enlarged
The
Start Button in Windows 10 serves equally well to mouse or keyboard and
touchscreen users. On the left side, the same old Start menu listing will
appear and on the right side, the tiles of Windows 8 icons. You can resize the
right side by dragging the edge correctly.
Bug: The drag and resize option
does not work in touchscreen. You can try and try but all your efforts will be
in pain and the right screen will not move an inch.
6) Issues In Dialog Box “Restore Previous Versions”
The Restore Previous Versions option lets
the users to rewind the changes made to a document. It takes back the document
in its previous form. This option can be found by doing right-click on the document
icon and select the Previous Versions option.
Bug: When the user selects the
documents option, Properties tab will open and not the Previous versions tab.
7) Option “Create Password Reset Disk” Is Not
Working
The Password
Reset Disk is a disk or a flash drive that enables the users to make a new
password when the user forgets it. When the user searches for this option, the
pp that creates this disk is there.
Bug: When the user searches for
this option, it appears to be nowhere on the machine.
8) Live Title For Mail Does Not Work
In the
Start menu, the Mail app is designed to show all the new messages in your
mailbox and also the subject line of the recent ones.
Bug: It only shows the subject line
of a few messages and not the count of messages that have arrived.
9) Get People Apps Does Not Work
The
People Apps option has been a matter of doubt for Windows 10 users. In Windows
8 it used to search for contact and show its social status. It has now become
fully a Contacts app in Windows 10.
Bug: When this message is opened, it
shows nothing and the message Your
search for “” had no results.
10) Inability To Create Star Rating
In the
File Explorer window, the user can see a rating’s column abd can view the
five-star ratings of songs, photos, etc. The users think that these ratings can
be changed by just clicking on them.
Bug: This is not possible. The user
needs to open the Properties box or the preview pane and then change the
rating.
Conclusion
Although,
Windows 10 might have some bugs with it does not mean it is not good. Basically
no software is free of bugs and Microsoft has already gone great lengths in fixing
these bugs.
