Do you hate the looks Windows 10/11 - WindowBlinds might be the solution, look like Mac or anything

“if a user DOES mess around in the registry, it is best if they know EXACTLY what they are doing. if not, it can lead to real problems.”

That’s why.

And no, it doesn’t apply to me. But it’s a very poor system that can easily corrupt your entire system. Neither MacOS nor Linux has it.

Disabling the Write-Behind Caching Setting Does Not Disable All Write-Behind Caching on the System

but most users don't even know about it. it is not meant to be directly used ordinarily.

if not an informed power-user (who is willing to break things and deal with it) then it is best to stay strictly away and let Windows manage it.

Windows can corrupt the registry all on its own.

does the work-around mentioned there solve that specific problem for you?

[jamcat]

I haven’t tried it yet.

But anyways, the problem is Windows, not me and not my USB drive.

yes. unfortunately that is true. but shit happens. no system is perfect.

[jamcat]

It happens because Windows is a poorly designed system. The very fact that it happens proves Windows is a poorly designed system.

UNIX/BSD based system like Linux and MacOS are far more robust. Because they were designed that way intentionally.

[JamminFool]

ok. i hope you get your problems fixed.

Oh... don't let me start talking about the sh!t I experience in macOS. If there's anything that can corrupt things unexplicably is macOS.

Of course, when that happens, users usually blame third party developers/manufacturers. It's "never" Apple's fault.

And Apple give a precious contribution by breaking compatibility annually with their "new" OS iterations.

AS I said, ANY OS needs maintenance. The fact you are unable to properly maintain your Windows OS doesn't make it a "poorly designed" system. This "poorly designed" system is the basis for the vast majority of user and business facilities. Not bad for something so "poorly designed".

This is actually one of Apple’s greatest unsung successes. Over the course of many years, Apple was able to incrementally migrate their entire platform to a completely new processor architecture along with all the new security features it requires. And they did it pretty seamlessly. Some software here and there may have required updates along the way in order to be in compliance with these changes, but it was nothing more drastic than was the case with Windows UAC and the VirtualStore.

And here we are today, having completed that transition, with Apple’s latest OS versions running on two totally different processor architectures, and the vast majority of software running on both architectures as well. MacOS even recompiles Intel assembly code on the fly to run on Apple Silicon. And all of this happened with minimal disruption to Mac users.

This is the joke of the year

And this wasn't the first time they did it. It seems you are pretty new to the platform. I've been through that TWICE before. No more for me.

These are documented bugs in Windows that lead to data corruption and loss. It’s Microsoft that is not properly maintaining Windows.

Windows “maintenance” is easy enough. You just need to engage in the semi-annual ritual of reinstall Windows from scratch. But the fact that you have to, to keep Windows running smoothly, is entirely because it is so poorly designed.

The fact you state you need to "reinstall" Windows says a lot about how savvy you are. But whatever floats your boat, man. If you are happy being enslaved by Apple, be my guest.

I never experienced a single issue during the transition to Apple Silicon. And I previously had a 2016 Intel MacBook Pro, prior to my M1.

Perhaps your problem is you are unable to properly maintain your MacOS.
