I don't know how it would take anyone that long to realize that. I do agree discoverability is weak in Windows as far as features are concerned.īut you could hit Windows and start typing since Vista, IIRC. Yea, the way the industry has moved in terms of documentation (and the way they tend to pawn users off on self-support forums) is kind of disgusting. I'd say it is the one and only thing in Windows 10 I've discovered that is actually an improvement over Windows 8. Old-style HTML based help systems at least had an index you could browse to find stuff like this.Īll that said, I really like this new feature.
You can't expect users to look up help for a feature they don't even know exists. It is one area where I think Microsoft are the absolute worst. I only found out you could hit the WIN key and just start typing after I had already moved to Windows 8.
I had the same discoverability issue with search in Windows 7. To be honest, until I read this I had forgotten it was even there and to this day I have no idea how to add anything to Favourites, even though I find the Sidebar on the Macs at work indispensible. " While people with older versions of Windows have the option of pinning folders in one location, via Favorites, Microsoft says that few of them took advantage of that feature." Maybe that's because nobody knows how to add folders to favourites? I remember when I first noticed it, I looked for a right-click option to "Add to Favourites" but when that options wasn't there, I gave up.
