Most of this ‘functionality’ only adds overhead to slow down everything, and is there only at the insistence of the marketing people. When you close and save a file and put it somewhere, it stays there but they make finding the place you put it very difficult, because it moves from folder to folder. If I don’t think the same way Windows does, the files go all over the place, turning up in various ‘libraries’ that I’ve not created. It tries to guess which files I’ll want to see later and organizes them that way. The Windows Explorer, not the web browser, the program that lets us use the directory in Windows OS’s, is improved in Windows 10, but I’ll have to use it for months to know if I like it. But the new driver made a difference with the Spacemouse, it responds more accurately, but the biggest improvement in speed was modeling in Monochrome, turn off all the features like shading etc. Between Time Warner and Microsoft’s OS, the download speeds were slower than dial up, in the '90s. I also downloaded a new driver for my SpaceNavigator/SpaceMouse, which took almost an hour, to down load. However, I’ve found that keeping things small (file sizes etc.,) is more important with Windows 10 than before. One would think that using SketchUp everyday for over a year, and following Microsoft’s progress with Windows 10 that somewhere along that path, someone would mention that Trimble has yet to re-write SketchUp for the most popular OS in the world.
