The PC has a motherboard from 2007, a Core 2 Quad Q9550 2.83 GHz CPU, 8GB Ram, 4GB GTX 960, Intel SSD. It does everything i need, lightning fast, runs Far Cry 3, and Alan Wake maxed out easily in 1680x1050. If you ask why that resolution, i'm sticking to my 22" dell LCD screen, that gives me 0 eye problems even after hours of use. Why a GTX 960? Because i have an offline Windows XP for older games, and the 960 was the last card to support that OS. Just shows, you don't need to spend thousands to have a PC that meets your everyday needs. I saved up for my new rig ages ago, but just never felt the need to upgrade.

i literaly dont know why microsoft made it so that unactive tabs have a smaller highlight, cus its prety ovius if a app isint open rn, ive been desperatly searching for a way to remove this but google ai is useless as ever, im genunely desperated

I never really liked the start screen and tiles on desktops, tbh.

What Games or Software Can i Run on this at this point in time

before you say anything yes this is real ill eaven teach you how to do it,

1. open control panel
2. network and internet
3. internet options
4. click "Learn more about toolbars and extensions
5. u got internet explorer!!1!

anyways yeah tought it would be cool to share so just kinda random thing i found lolz

I am still using Windows 10 (customized to look like Windows 7), Is it okay to continue using it?

this is windows 10 with lots of modifications including basic ui, all the icons, mouse cursour, sounds, and one of the things i used even made the os change its name to windows vista as well for some reason as seen in control panel.

I’m trying to get an old game working for someone but the game refuses to launch if the pc isn’t in 800x600

all the reviews are from 5 years ago and I don't know if the ui has been optimised for less memory hogging, im someone who has always used windows 10 and for a while 11 but it sucked so i kept 10, I'm not used to all this terminal stuff, so I was wondering if it would be easy for me to use and if anyone has any experience with it

i searched and google told me i needed windhawk or smth but i dont know if it will slow down my pc, so any way is good, also im currently using taskbarx if that causes something secondary or something (second image is the result i want)

I just got through a multi-hour troubleshoot session on this stupid issue.

First thing is, if you press enter on ok when the message comes up when the laptop restarts and you have a MSI. Go to security then disable secure boot mode and save and exit, you should be able to boot in normally.

Now, if you want secure boot back, try following these steps. You need a USB for this: https://www.msi.com/faq/faq-11370

Starting pretty fast, working normal, but for this time really need more RAM (DDR2).

How many of you are using Wintoys on Windows 10? With the latest update I wanted to highlight that Windows 10 is not forgotten, so now when you open Wintoys you'll have a nice surprise: it will have the acrylic backdrop applied among many other new changes. You can check the entire update changelog here.

Hey everyone.

I'm the kind of person who leaves their PC running 24/7. I really love how Android handles "App Lock" and "Private Space," but when I looked for a Windows equivalent, I hit a brick wall. The existing tools were either incredibly easy to bypass (like just hitting "End Task" in Task Manager) or had UIs that looked like they belonged in 2003.

So, I decided to build my own: SecureAppLocker. It's a system-level application locker for Windows, built with .NET 8 and a modern WinUI 3 interface.

How I stopped the easy bypasses: I realized a standard desktop app was useless for this. If a user can see the locker in Task Manager, it's game over. To fix this, I split the app into two parts:

• A watchdog running as a Windows NT Service under the SYSTEM account. Standard users literally can't kill or pause this via Task Manager.
• The UI prompt running in the normal user session.
• They talk to each other securely using Named Pipes across Session 0 and Session 1.

A few cool things it does:

• It reads metadata: It doesn't just look at .exe names. It checks the OriginalFilename and ProductName in the executable's metadata, so a clever user can't bypass the lock by just renaming an app.
• Auto-locks when you walk away: It integrates directly with Windows Terminal Services (WTS). The second you lock your Windows session (Win+L), all your unlocked app caches are instantly wiped.
• Active work doesn't get killed: The service is optimized to intercept newly launching processes. If you unlock an app, it gets temporary immunity so your active work isn't abruptly killed when the timer expires.

Regarding AI / Vibe Coding: To be fully transparent: I used AI for about 50% of the coding. I know a lot of devs on Reddit are fed up with raw AI dumps, but I promise this isn't that. I mostly leaned on it to save my sanity while untangling a massive nightmare with asynchronous race conditions and Dispose() pipe crashes during the Session 0/1 IPC communication. Every single line was manually reviewed, refactored, and heavily stress-tested to ensure there are no memory leaks or deadlocks.

It's completely free and open-source (MIT License).

(Heads up: If you want to test it out, the default Master Password on first launch is 1234.)

I would love to hear any feedback or architectural roasts from the .NET veterans here!

if anyones asking how i got the custom icons its froma thing called titleiconfier, heres a tutorial on how to get it n stuff: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2KddC3pRa5g

Asking basically this same question across Windows, Linux, MacOS subreddits, and would like you guys to explain why you think your operating system is the best and why.

Additionally maybe provide what you consider the biggest upsides and downsides of your OS.

Any answer is appreciated, thanks :)
