WINDOWS 10 DOES IT AGAIN - MAKE IT STOP RE-OPENING APPS ON REBOOT

Click to make picture larger.

 So I got an update on Windows 10 and the stupidest crap I've ever seen it do happened.

 I had Chrome and Word open when I shut it off last. Well there they where opening up when I powered up Windows.

 Well, why in the world do you think I want this to happen? I'm not a Mac user - I do know how to open apps.

 See it was easy in the past, just power off and it shut everything down (most of the time). But NO we can't have that, we need to "fix things".

 So I went to the forums and holly crap people don't seem to be happy with this nonsense.

 The fix for this "fix" is in the Account Settings under Sign-in Options. Scroll down to the bottom and there it is. Click it off - like in the picture - and it SHOULD stop re-opening the apps that you left on when you shut down the PC.

 I literally have no desire for this to ever happen and from what I'm seeing almost no one wants it to re-open apps. See making all this extra code just makes it more easy to mess things up. Sigh.

 Remember when an update turned off the ability to use the most commonly used webcam on the planet? Well I do, I own one. That took months to fix.

 Then they did something to the audio on USB devices. This one is strange as hell, as it don't seem to effect every Windows 10 PC - but it has effected the last 2 I owned. See it has very low audio when using a USB mic to record sound. I've tried it all and nothing fixed it. So now I have a $70 mic in the desk drawer that I can't use. It's not been fixed for years now.

 I swear to GOD if Mac would run any of the things I use literally every day of my life, I'd switch. But there is no way to get any of the things (other than office) to run on a Mac. Don't give me the side boot crap either as that is running windows and it's bugs.

 So unless I want to spend as much as a new car on software to replace all my toys - I'm stuck with Windows 10 and it's many problems.

HOW TO FIX BLOGGER FROM DOUBLE SPACING LINES OF TEXT

Image
When you click on the editor to type text, it changes to "Paragraph" instead of "Normal". This causes there to be a double space between lines. If your trying to do a list, this is a serious piss off. So you have to click where it now says "Paragraph" and set it back to "Normal". I've had it a couple times not stay, and had to select all then set it to Normal again. As well it puts in a leading space (indentation of 1 space) you may want to delete as well, or your list won't look quite right at the top. It used to stay where you put it, but now it just up and changes it to Paragraph for literally no reason - even if you first set it to Normal - you click and POOF it changes.

Matilde Vicenzi Cookies Are Great

Image
Was sent these by a good friend for a birthday gift. They are really very good. Quite possibly the best cookies I've had in years. I tried them all, and I like the white one you see in the bottom picture, as it had a lemon taste to it. Some had a bit of liquid chocolate in them and where very good as well. Like normal, the ones with the bit of jam in them where a bit too sticky and chewie. But I seriously enjoyed all of them. These are great. I'm going to look them up on Amazon and if they are not too much money, I'm getting more for Christmas. OK just looked it up and NOPE, it's $28 a can. They are very good, but that is a bit out of my price range. But the usual Christmas Danish Butter Cookies are also kind of a lot of money now as well. They are also a bit moist, and not super dry like usual. Also not powdery like a lot of them do. I'd give these an 8/10 and would recommend highly.

Had a Great Birthday Lunch

Image
Went out on the 14th for my birthday lunch with friends. It was very enjoyable. I got the Jambalaya pasta and a Doctor Pepper (free refills so I had 3). Because I was celebrating my birthday, I got an ice cream sandwich for free and the "birthday song" sang to me. In the photo you see what my friends got me - Kicking Horse 454 Coffee and Double Chocolate TimTams, and a card. Earlier I posted a review of cookies I was sent by another friend. I also got some silverware. This is literally the first time in my life I have new silverware. I had been using very old ones for many years - at home with my parents, they had an even older set. I also never owned a salad fork LOL. There was no tea spoons with it, so I have older tea spoons still. I tried to look for just tea spoons, but they came in large numbers and I don't need 60 of them, I just want 4. I also got a total of $140 gifted to me by several nice people. I got some stuff I need and a toy I wanted (personal kind of toy)
