That said, did they fix the issue where explorer (with the desktop) would just randomly crash for no reason? I’ve worked in IT for 3 months and it was a frequent issue.
I went back to Win10 at work because file explorer on Win11 was unusable. I’m not waiting a half second every single time I enter a subfolder.
and even worse in a OneDrive directory, often a full two seconds
that wasn’t the only issue, but it legitimately prevented me from being able to do my job, because I needed to be able to multitask on several projects at once. what used to be a two minute turnaround on a question somebody would ask me became hours, simply because I could not navigate to a directory in fifteen seconds and check a file quickly. and oh god the file explorer crashes
unfortunately I still deal with a bunch of that on Win10 now, because they somehow introduced that behaviour with greater frequency into Win10 in the past year
It’s amazing how a second or 5 at so many levels causes micro-frustration. And it builds up, too.
I admit I lose just a bit of my shit when the neu web-service web-apps get sluggish, which seems to be very often. Those of us who remember the halcyon days where things were responsive on a pentium know better than to accept the current mess.
My tolerance for the poor performance and saas-linked core services is rapidly waning.
The scariest part is how the general population just accepts how bad Windows is, because they don’t have a concept of what a decent piece of software looks like. They just assume that they hate computers but are simply forced to tolerate it to do their job.
Oh my goodness, …sorry if I sound negative, but, …that looks very tag-spammy for Lemmy. I was shocked, haha!
Regardless though, Mastodon user, welcome! Welcome to Lemmy, too!
Lol no arch for me just yet and esp no beta arch lmao. I’m working through my computers and devices at the moment. I have liked Zorin so far and have it on two laptops. I also swapped a fire tablet to lineage last week and I just replaced my phone and got a pixel and installed Graphene as well. I’m getting there. Just have my last laptop and my desktop to migrate. I’m putting off my desktop until I can migrate off a couple services. Also because I know it’ll be a major biiiiiitch. I have so many tools lol
Why does File Explorer freeze just because I opened it?!?
Every time???
How do they mess this up so bad?

They made their devs use copilot.
Yep. Vibe coding. Replacing knowledge and experience with hallucinations since 2025.
After firing everyone who knew anything about how the code worked.

The funny thing is that both Outlook and OneDrive work way better on the Mac.
I just wish they were available for Linux.
File explorer has always been a weak point in Windows, it just got better in the later versions. Which speaks volumes about this OS too.
There’s a third party file explorer that works amazingly and it’s super fast. It’s freeware while in beta: https://filepilot.tech/
If a single guy can do it, why can’t Microsoft?

I’m so glad I blocked all the updates from MS on mydesktopm. It’s a nice stop gap until I get moved to linux

@JigglySackles @mrgoosmoos if you want beta versions you can use #arch #linux XD

I have that problem on my son’s pc. It’s definitely an io issue. A faster disk would solve the problem.
So would a working OS.
Slow disk is not the problem.
Maybe a factor, but it is not a problem.
Because you opened it in Windows 🤣
