That turned out really well...

Whoever is responsible for putting the touch start screen on Windows Server is responsible for 90% of my frustrations...

The best way to run Windows Server is without a desktop installed, using PowerShell to manage it. Even one-offs. You might know this but it’s worth saying just in case. Also worth noting that some server applications assume/require a desktop during install or operation (usually because they’re trash).
