How did Microsoft allow a mistake like this to happen?

>>106939411 (OP)
They hired too many dalits

>beta testing updates on day 1
You asked for it
Never updoot on day 1

lol

No casual user uses that option EVER and it doesn't affect all machines, my thinkpad e14 still works and I know because I switch between my work partition and a personal partition

>>106939411 (OP)
SAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR firing the entire QA department was a great idea DO NOT REDEEM THE TESTING SARRR

>>106939411 (OP)
vibe coders cant debug.
third worlders cant test

a deadly combo

Microsoft know there are hundreds of thousands of autists who'll download and test their updates on day 1 so dont bother testing themselves anymore.
they'll then listen to their screeching and fix the bugs but create even more

>>106939411 (OP)
I believe this was fixed already, but shouldn't have happened in the first place.
Jeet shit smeared AI coding is going to be the death of humanity.

>>106939411 (OP)
Wintards have been conditioned by Microsoft to accept all the broken and shoddily programmed garbage in Windows as a given. But god forbid some random fucking Linux DE has a one pixel too wide menu.

>>106939437
ive had to use it twice, when other windows updates bricked my install. nice try bill.

Copilot said i shouldn't worry about it so it's nothingburger

>>106939512
That's because at the end of the day people will still get their shit done on Windows while the programs they have to use don't even work on Linux even if the desktop experience wasn't a worse clusterfuck than W11s settings """app""".

How does GIMP replace an ERP system exactly?

>>106939527
Twice in 13 years, wow.
I use it weekly for about 8 years now

>>106939411 (OP)
streetshitters and executive vibe coding

>I upgrade from Windows 10 to 11 on Microsoft advice
>immediately kills my PC with borked Windows 11 updates

But I thought that I have to update to windows 11 to be secure and not catch a virus or a worm.

NOW I LOST MY PROJECT DEADLINE AND I LOST MONEY
RELEASE ME FROM THIS MORTAL SHELL
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

No one really uses the recovery options like at all, probably once a year, only a retard like OP would say it "bricks" your entire pc when you probably wouldn't even notice that isn't working.

>>106939618
jeet cope

>>106939411 (OP)
This happened to my parents the night before last. Thankfully, I was able to help them make installation media that would allow them to enter a working recovery environment and get their shit back. What a colossal fuckup by Microsoft.

>>106939544
>our broken piece of shit from a trillion dollar company is actually okay because it only happened to you, specificially, twice in 5* years
daily reminder microsoft pays money for damage control posts like these

like 2 years ago, my uncle had his computer blown the fuck out because of a windows 11 update.
he told me the computer did the update screens and then could never boot to windows, like no boot menu nothing

I had to go over there, and the hard disk was fried,
after much investigation, it turns out Windows 11 pushed a firmware update to the nvme hard disk and botched it, so it bricked the hard drive,
everything lost.

I installed a new drive and put linux mint on that thing immediately

>yes windows 11 updates will also firmware update your hardware, it is true

>>106939411 (OP)
This issue is because they have Fast Boot on in the BIOS. I went through this on several computers at my workplace.

>>106939411 (OP)
>another major bug
I can't fathom being forced to work on Windows honestly. It's probably some of the most bloated, dog shit code on earth and you can't break anything either. Do they even have QA anymore or any automated testing? Like how does shit like, input drivers not working in recovery menu, not tested for?

It has to be the "AI" and the Jeets or something much worse...

>>106939411 (OP)

So yeah, guess this update fucked my computer. Noticed my windows key wasn't working yesterday, went to discover I can't open settings etc. Consent.exe wasn't working, whole lot of shit. Sfc \scannow fixed consent.exe at least but settings etc still not working. Reinstalled windows, shit's still fucked. Went to reset and just ran into this in winre.

Jesus fucking christ.

QA dept was fired 10 years ago
Windows Insider reports are ignored
MS H1B Jeets using Copilot 24/7 for gorgeous code

Saars, do the needful and bear with this

You NEED this software to run Microsoft Teams

Saars, tomorrow is Monday

Please restart your laptop once a week

>>106939411 (OP)
If you are capable of installing a bootable iso on a usb drive, then you have zero excuses for not installing Linux.

Ballmer left, Microsoft died, simple as.
We have come to the point where beta GPU drivers are more stable than an entire OS

It's Microsoft, why ae you surprised?

"mandatory update"
reading these words pisses me off something fierce

>>106940648
So that was who x.org guy was meeting all those years, the guy fixing his windows install. Tragic.

>>106940659
i didn't restart my computer for 230+ days, after 10-15 full pacman -Syu-s on arch btw sway/i3 setup. was still running a kernel from december 2024 in september 2025.

finally restared it cuz after kernel updates it does forget how to mount things, but i don't use that frequently on that computer. it still werks after the restart.

I hate Microsoft so much is unreal.

>>106939437
every IT sysadmin is screaming right now, do they not count?

>sysadmin
>do they not count

I was updating my work computer on Friday. It booted, I logged in and it instantly went black screen. I waited five minutes, then I had to hold the laptop power button to force it off. Restarted, updated and it finally worked.

>Set my win10 up to never go beyond 22H2, essentially only installing driver and sec updates
>Decide to check for updates 3 days ago, resulting in the usual "cumulative update" and sec stuff
>Next day I notice that my custom start menu opens slow as hell, so I decide to uninstall the recent updates
>Suddenly my menu opens instantly again as it should
I fucking love when random OS updates brick other programs out of spite, it's like I'm using Android or iOS

>recover option doesn't accept input
>OMG THE WHOLE COMPUTER EXPLOED AND CANNOT BE USED

Windows is too complex, it must support 1.5 billion different computers, yet is has the potential to mega mess up in mass as well.

We may hit a point of no return one day, imagine Microsoft mass corrupts secure boot somehow and making 1.5 billion bricks.

>>106941532
It's why they don't roll out updates for everyone instantly. It would only brick like a quarter max before they pulled it.

Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows 10 LTSC or ReactOS, take your pill, the first two are stable, the last one is not finished, but it will be the best one.

How could they allow this to happen?

>>106939411 (OP)
Why is Microsoft shooting on the foot every month? Di they want to force people to use Linux?

>>106939411 (OP)
How is Microsoft worth trillions of dollars? Have they ever even made one good product?

>>106939411 (OP)
this is why i never update

Why would I ever use WinRe? When you fucked up your OS and need recovery it's basically a skill issue. Maybe you should go back to Windows 7 if 11 is too difficult for you.
