Last time time you saw how to get the current active hours. Contrary to your belief Microsoft you don’t know better than me how I want my machines configured – you’re applying a blanket best guess set of settings that are becoming more difficult to unravel. The continuous feature update promised by Windows 10 is failing because its actually getting harder to do things. The continuously changing settings menus mean that the settings you need are buried further and further under meaningless dialogs and when you do get the bottom you’re often using the old control panel! Every edition of Windows since Vista has made it harder and harder to actually make changes. Microsoft please get out of my way and let me make changes. What’s worse is that its the Enterprise edition I was installing! If Windows got out of my way and let me perform the settings changes they’d have been done in a few minutes instead the windows install wasted the best part of 30 minutes taking me through its ridiculous setup dialog.

The install proceeds as you would expect but then once the basic OS installation is complete it crawls, at the speed of a overloaded truck with no engine, through a whole series of questions about settings. The only thing I can say is that Windows 10 install wasting my time. I’ve just made the mistake of installing Windows 10 Insider preview build 18272 from the iso.
