What do you want out of the next windows OS?
When the app supports high-DPI settings, it doesn't need to restart. The article I read suggests Microsoft included features for this purpose. Regarding the need for a restart, I'm not sure. Perhaps it's related to the system environment. My experience has been limited to moving windows between DPI modes; the transition was smooth until halfway across. This is normal since window rendering is constrained to a single resolution. I haven't seen a desktop setup with dual monitors having different resolutions but matching scaling, and the areas where the cursor stops still appear as if at full resolution. DPI is a fixed characteristic, which doesn't always translate well on computers. I haven't encountered this issue unless I avoid exclusive full-screen use. Alternatively, gaming on a 1440p screen might prevent the 4K monitor from changing resolutions. Maybe I'm lucky—I never faced such challenges. The main drawback is it causes inconsistency for developers. Back in the day, Windows offered much more customization, even letting users pick installation spots. Now, if common libraries aren't in a standard folder like C:\Windows, the app must locate them each time. Or maybe some essential tools require additional dependencies you didn’t realize were needed. I’ve seen this with certain Linux distributions, and it’s really frustrating to discover what worked before just because it wasn’t the default on another system.
The main issue with Windows is the excessive bloat it brings. When I first install Windows 10, I’d prefer only essential apps like clock, settings, and photo viewer. I don’t need Xbox, 3D Viewer, or 3D paint—everything else feels unnecessary. I’d like all these extra features removed right from the start.
THE RELEASE IS COMPLETE! SETS ARE ALREADY OUT!!! CONTINUOUSLY BEING PROCESSED!!!
Consider running crystaldiskinfo and crystaldiskmark. Ensure the installation is thorough—not just removing partitions. Leave all drives except one connected, set the BIOS to optimized defaults with fast boot enabled, connect only one monitor, and keep the fewest peripherals or USB devices. After setup, let the system sit for a while before proceeding. Then apply Windows updates and complete the installation. In Task Manager, turn off any unused startup processes.
Sure, removing partitions and letting Windows create new ones isn't really a clean installation. It seems like just updating the previous setup. Appreciate the straightforward installation advice. Wish I had tried something similar when I first started using PCs.
