      Just got a call for a site down, when I called back site was up, Everything was working. Must have been an windows update or something.. Looking into the issue one of the "terminals" had lost connection and caused the other 2 to go down. After the site did its fail safe (restart) everything was working properly.

        Finally in Chicago. Took the L from midday to the loop (downtown). Walked across part of downtown to Union Station. Now on the Metra to Schaumburg for 30 more minutes.

            Why is creating an offline account for Windows 10 so slow? Not only does it have way too many steps, three screens for something so simple it should be in one, but each screen takes strangely long to load - as if they are being loaded from a slow, remote web server. It's weird.

              Microsoft really wants you to use a Microsoft account. That's why creating an offline, local account is well hidden.

                I get that, it's just a poor experience for the end users, but why is the Windows 10 installer so non-responsive.

                  You have to choose: blue-screen loops during install, or slow creation of local users.

                    Yeah, but all the OTHER things are so slow, too. You probably get punished more for not going local. It's just punishing, not directing.

                      True. I don't have actual metrics to support my claim, but I've been generally underwhelmed by the performance of Windows 10.

                        If making things nicer was designed to encourage you to do certain things, that would seem to indicate that Microsoft wants to kill off Cortana, but holy cow that's annoying if you don't kill it with fire.

                          It's not hidden at all. Same as it always was. Open up computer management, right click local users and create new. I just did it the other day on 1803.

                            I think he's talking about "during install" where it is really weird and a bit confusing.

                              It is during Windows installation. Perhaps hidden isn't the right term. "well obscured"

                                            I was out of work Mon & Tuesday with a sick kid, Wednesday & Thursday with a Hurricane... and now I'm back into the office... Somebody tell me why a college campus would open for only a Friday? 😢
