Introducing Near Share

Say you’re in a meeting with your boss and need to quickly send them the report you’re looking at on your screen? Or you and a sibling are hanging out on the couch using your laptops, and you want to send him a screenshot of your latest Minecraft creation? You can now wirelessly share files and URLs to nearby PCs using the new Near Share feature.

requires bluetooth apparently which makes it quite pointless for desktop users.

My windows 10 update consumed 8GB in 2days for updates

And then failed!!

Its trying to update from Windows 10 1607 to 1703 from 2 days

Failed twice... and then it restarts downloading from zero.

So Windows 10 Creators Update has a MacOS style resume feature on reboot. Of course, it does not work as intended. Only a few applications are supported and user experience is poor. In my case, it was loading Resilio Sync at boot in foreground instead of minimized to taskbar. Had to google around to see what was going on.

So basically... Microsoft expects you to close all apps if you want a clean reboot. The other two workarounds are to shut down windows using Alt-F4 on desktop. Or running this command line shortcut: C:\Windows\System32\shutdown.exe /s /t 0. What a freak show.

It was a terrible idea mixing a tablet and desktop OS in the first place. They require different things

i mean they already have hibernation that restores the desktop to previous state. they had no reason to mess around with the shutdown option.

This is how they describe this 'feature'.

In KDE (linux) this is also default.

If app is open when you shutdown/reboot - it will reopen when you login again.

This applies to apps that support X session management protocol. (Most KDE apps do)

May be true for GNOME too but not sure.

 

[Sushubh]

but does it only work with few random apps? because that's what is happening on windows 10.

It does not work for random apps - only for apps that support X session management protocol.

But most KDE apps (developed by KDE itself) do

Peronally I like the auto-opening of apps because then I dont have to add them to autostart.

And I have fixed sets of apps which I open daily.

So I can just turn on my PC / laptop and come back after 5-10mins and I have everything open.
