Windows - how can someone possible get something done?

I gave up and are now installing windows for my son so he can install a game that only exists under windows.

Did a clean install, no network drivers found. Looked under device manager and tried to find out what network card there is on his computer. Unknown device :@

Finally found the manufactures dvd, ofcourse we get some bloatware, killer network manager.

Tried to uninstall it, the drivers was also uninstalled. :O Had to install it again and do some googling and finally found some pure drivers. Uninstalled the f*** Killer software again, and then installed the pure drivers. It works :)

Then I tried the speakers ... :@

Thank god my son is in school and can't hear my language right now.

    I usually rant on Windows though I use it for gaming, but this isn't its fault. You just had crappy drivers. Also, did you really expect a working drivers just after fresh Windows install? Dude..

    Hardware ID it's a very useful info. Also, yeah, drivers won't come along by themselves most of the times.

    @NoNameCode It is win 10 I am talking about ...

    So no it is not just working. And the computer is only about 6 months old so no there shouldn't really be any problem.

    Next time just browse to the folder from the Device Manager and let Windows do the installation. I barely ever run the installer.

    @StefanH I prefer browsing. That way Windows can choose the ini file that it needs.

    As much as I love my Fedora box, Linux has at times been a pain in my ass. Like the time it would stop reading the keyboard moments after booting. I can deal with driver issues. I can't deal with buggy kernel code.
