I don’t quite understand why people are using horizontal top [MacOS] or horizontal bottom [Windows] taskbars and not vertical one. Most of us are exploiting 16:9, 16:10 or even 21:9 displays. So basic logic confirms that we have more pixels in horizontal plane and less in vertical. So it’s better to save vertical space [pixels], but not horizontal ones. GUI of complex programs like to “eat” vertical space soooo much. This is why i prefer rare 2560x1600 resolution.
To check system hard drive and fix errors:
chkdsk c: /f To check system hard drive, fix errors, locate and mark bad sectors:
chkdsk c: /r
Very basic command to check integrity of system files:
sfc /scannow
If sfc can’t help you try DISM.
Check system health for any corruption presence:
Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth
Check system health for store corruption presence:
Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth
Finally, repair command:
Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
PS If i recall something that i’ve missed, will post it as an update later on.
UPDATE: 2021-08-19 Added some benchmarks for more clearness.
Internet is swarming with amateurish articles about “incompatibility”

In fact, it is 100% proven misconception.
