Current Events > Worst feature of Windows reletively recently

(+) Yeah! (+)

which is worst

Windows 11 removing the ability to put the taskbar on the side of the screen.

Other Windows 10 log in screen, I fucking hate this shitty thing when I take my laptop out of sleep mode only for it to have a fit and no access the log in screen off the bat.

"Forced updates without consent"

Sorry bruv, you already gave consent in the TOU. Moreover, the only forced updates are critical security patches. Stay paranoid. WE THE PEOPLE! And yadda yadda.

in your opinion

Real annoyance: the lack of a fix for the bluetoorh protocol when multi linking to a windows and non-windows device. It multiplexes the signal which essentially makes it sound like a robot. 2x windows, doesnt happen. 2x android, doesnt happen. Windows and android? Robot voice. Its a known flaw that MS itself has acknowledged they havent fixed yet. Might be a product/marketing decision -- "let them disconnect from android, itll entice them to use our stuff more!"

I have a laptop from 2016.

This thing is budget. It was budget when I got it, and the years have not been kind to it. It can run Valheim, but only at 1fps. That's not a joke or an exaggeration - one frame per second. I use it to play Runescape and watch the Blacklist. The battery is fried so it needs to be plugged in at all times, and I've had to buy a new charger because the old one deteriorated.

For the past year, my laptop has been scheduling automatic updates. Initially I didn't install anything because I just wanted to play my games and watch my shows. But eventually I was like "fuck it" and I made time for the updates.

I swear to god, they take hours. Somewhere in the ballpark of three hours, when this is just like my nightly chill-out machine. It downloads, it restarts, and it begins applying the patch.

My laptop is so fucking old and budget and stock that the newest updates aren't compatible with it. So after three hours, the whole computer reboots with the same software it had before.

Windows keeps scheduling updates. I have tried to update multiple times, and it is genuinely impossible. It never works. Hours, wasted on this horseshit.

And the worst part is that it keeps interrupting whatever I'm doing to say "we're going to update in 20 minutes, would you like to update or postpone for an hour?". I have to stop what I'm doing every hour to stop Windows from automatically resetting my computer and installing software that won't install.

Updates and SSDs are not as bad as updates and HDDs.

Forced updates are the best thing MS has done in a while, just under bash emulation.

It eventually worked on me.

With HDDs at least you could do updates when you wanted to, so its not wasting your time when youre trying to use your PC
