Didn’t windows 11 become available long ago? Did no one ever try it out before the hostage situation?
Certainly not the beta testers
For what it’s worth, my KDE file browser would freeze up when I had a WebDav network drive to a server that went offline, not exactly elegant either, just opening my home folder and randomly after a second or two …… all software can bug in bad ways.
The main difference is KDE doesn’t make disgusting money off it, and if someone cares enough they can actually submit a fix
Not that they’re going to fix any of them though.

Microsoft, you already got me to leave Windows, you don’t have to keep sending me reminders, I wasn’t at risk of wanting to come back…
You know I never really thought about it but do you think the spying tools these companies provide ever fail like the way their other products do?
One might hope
That Win10 extended update program is great if you need it fyi
Massgrave + Win10 IOT LTSC enterprise would be a better play
Isn’t that exactly what the person you replied to is talking about?
They’re going to be heroes when they fix Windows
IT has been an interesting ride the last two months, encountering some of the weirdest bugs I’ve ever seen, after two decades of Windows working just fine for the most part.
Yeah. Weird vibes.
*Weird vibe codes
When do I get a calendar on my systray or whatever they call it on my other monitor?
Microsoft says that it is working on a fix but, for now, has provided a couple of workarounds to deal with the issue
Install Linux.
What kind of idiots create a program that says, “Outlook failed to load. Repair application?” when the only problem is the wifi is disconnected?
vibe coders
The problem is that someone decided to dumb down the error message to not scare users, instead of passing on the real error code from the application that people could Google and fix in 5 mins themselves.
It’s like this with a blue screen. You used to tell you what went wrong but now it just shows a :-( Which is pathetic.
The tiny text and QR code actually have the error still. It’s just the frowny face is 10x the font size.
Dumb downed? They’ve taken a simple error and made it into something that does scare users. The “Repair application?” was far more alarming to my visiting friend than an “No Internet connection” would have been. It is astounding that any company would put out such complete shit.
Imagine they removed the oil, engine and fuel lamps, and then while driving:
Car Malfunctioning. Attempt Repair?

Why does File Explorer freeze just because I opened it?!?
Every time???
How do they mess this up so bad?
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.
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.
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
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?

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.
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 no seriously how can long time #debian #user help #windows users to finally migrate? You still can run it virtualized??? What keeps #windows users at #windows? #gaming?
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!
@JigglySackles @mrgoosmoos if you want beta versions you can use #arch #linux XD
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
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 🤣
Some anecdotal evidence, but when I boot into my W11 install for certain online games, I have none of these issues mentioned. My 11 IoT Enterprise LTSC + StartAllBack setup- knocks on wood- continues to be bullet proof. For anyone who still needs Windows, I highly recommend it.
I’ve only been supporting Enterprise for a while, but for me Win 11 is just Win 10 with more graphical overhead, and a start menu coded with React for some goddamn reason, because it’s fun to gamble as to how many seconds it will take to pull up the start menu this time.
Which is where StartAllBack comes into play. Its not just one sluggish mess. It feels normal lol.
I have zero issues with Win11, but if I state that, lemmy tells me to go fuck myself.
lemmy tells me to go fuck myself.
Well, get on with it.
For real, lmao.
We have finally gotten rid of Windows on all PCs in our house this week and my partner has taken the plunge. Even with a little faff he says he is never going back lol.
Did you switch to Linux?
Man, I have 3 windows 11 desktops and a laptop. Sometime in the last month all of their edge browsers became “managed by my organization”… they’re all personal computers with no work info on them. And I can’t undo it. I’ve tried every trick on the internet. Fuck MS.
Did you use ShutUp10 or something similar? It says that when settings are changed via registry/group policy. It doesn’t actually have anything to do with your work.
