So Much for That

Before I get started, let me say that this is nerd nitpicking.

Okay?

I updated my Windows 8.1 laptop to Windows 10. They told me over and over that all of my settings will carry over. The only thing I use this laptop for is work. So when the update finished I checked that I could still VPN to my work’s network. Success. Then I remote desktop’d to the machine on my desk. Success.

Sort of.

I had the remote desktop window at full screen. In that mode it should appear that you are only using the remote machine. You should see no sign of the machine you are actually using. That was the case today from 9:00am to 5:30pm while I was working. Now? The remote machine’s task bar was hidden behind the laptop’s task bar. Ummm… So much for all my settings carrying over, huh? It was just a matter of unlocking the task bar. Right click, boom. Done. That’s not the point. If that stupid little teeny tiny setting has changed, what the hell else have these Microsoft assholes changed on me?

If only my company would switch to Macintosh. Or better yet, Linux.
