my roommate's new Microsoft Surface Hub is running a wacky version of Windows 10 that popped up a "You need to download something from the store to support this file!" message when I tried to run a win64 exe.

HOW DO YOU MAKE A WINDOWS THAT DOESN'T SUPPORT RUNNING EXES?

and this is an x86 computer here, not some weird ARM nonsense.

it's running "Windows 10 Team edition", a very specific and weird SKU

It's the most infuriating and useless version of Windows I've ever used.

and for context I've recreationally run Windows ME before. My autobiography is being written on Windows 95.

It's my roommate's Surface Hub. It's a 3 or 2S, we're not 100% sure yet.

It's a whole different interface to Windows, very mobile-like. You can get File Explorer but it can't view stuff outside your home dir and external drives. There's no windows->run and seemly no task manager on ctrl-alt-delete

@foone Does Ctrl+Shift+Esc do anything?

@ann3nova I don't think so? I can't recall if I checked that in my hotkey-spamming
