      This is pretty much as bad as nt4 sp2. Enabling the clock app’s round mode would make it eat 100% cpu time. Generally you’d have to reboot to fix it.

    They gotta stop vibe coding windows, it’s wild. My work machine was fine about a year ago, not great but fine. It had updates maybe fortnightly and worked fine. Now it gets a random office or system update like 3 times a week and has a constant onslaught of random bugs.

    A customer installer Photoshop elements 10 on windows 11.

    Not long after, boot loop, can’t fix itself.

    Had to rebuild the BCD and some other bootrec commands to finally get to a bsod about a Roxio driver that 11 had decided was bad and just plain died rather than preventing installation. Recovery wouldn’t boot either, had to use a Linux live on Ventoy to nuke said driver file.

      Holy shit that’s hilarious, the exact same thing happened to us at work and we thought it was a fluke. Wow.

    Still occasionally use windows, and system stability is a bigger issue than ever before. I just want to download files and type emails. Please don’t crash. Why has my resolution suddenly become an issue? Why is my window 3x larger than my screen?

    I had windows foisted on me when I started at my new role, i tried to make WSL work but it was always janky especially in combination with security software they install

    Managed to convince them to give me a 5 year old Mac mini and it is a dream

    After seeing update after update fuck up windows i am glad i didn’t try make it work
