  How big is the Windows team at Microsoft? Like, I could kinda shrug off this nonsense if it was a solo dev working on a passion project, but how do you push to production something that fairly consistently completely wipes wallpapers?

  Do you not have anyone testing these things? Can Microsoft not afford to have a beta channel?

    It’s probably because they bo longer have a team of humans. It’s just their… Copilot’s.

  Method 1: Install Mint

  In today's episode of "Why I refuse to use Windows 11 on my personal machines" - Microsoft breaks personalisation, again, and still haven't fixed DISM.

  Microsoft are doing a brilliant advertisement against their own operating system by breaking it over and over again. Maybe if they had actual humans doing the job, or at least the QC, things wouldn't keep breaking on production.

    What’s wrong in DISM?

    source

    • Th4tGuyII@fedia.io ⁨17⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      For the last couple of builds, people have been reporting DISM breaking with error 0x800f0915 (essentially it can't find a valid repair source). Which they still haven't fixed despite it being known about.

  Skip all of them and install Linux. The computer does not belong to microslop. Take back control of the hardware that you own.

  Whenever I read about Windows-updates gone wrong, I smile.

  Remember back in the day, when “don’t update” was the MO for nearly everyone, because of how shitty they all were and how it took several weeks post-update to unfuck it all (not just windows)? Then, updates improved and were solid across the board. We’ve gone back two decades, but for a stupid reason. Vulns are being popped out like bunny babies, and our updates are adding even more. We can’t stop auto update due to those active vulns, but I can’t trust it either lol

  Headline:

  Skip today’s Windows 11 update: it breaks cursor styling, resets wallpaper, and more

  Article:

  […] it also appears to be breaking cursor customization and wallpaper settings for a large number of people, based on a fast-growing pile of user reports since release

  I installed the update (Build 26200.9278) myself and did not run into either issue.

  Anyone else get bothered by publications’ tendency to have headlines misaligned with reality or the article’s content?

  I might be splitting hairs here, but the language in the headline is absolute. They were an inclusion of the word “may” away from having a headline that accurately represented the situation.

  Wouldn’t bug me so much if it weren’t for the fact that words, language, and conveyance of information weren’t literally these peoples’ jobs.

  Bro every time I use windows 11 something is fucked up and it varies pc to pc and time to time.

    Yep. I have 1 windows 11 system at home. And I hate using it when I have to. Always some painful update that takes forever. Or intrusive nagging popups trying to sell me something. My main system runs arch. There are updates daily, but its never as derailing as windows updates. Updating is a breeze. No nagging. The system just does what I want. Because I own it fully. It’s fantastic.

  On purpose, MS want to use it’s telemetry to log your behaviour when this happens. 😈

    They’re sitting at their desks, rubbing each other’s nipples through their dress shirts as they watch log files come in, detailing exactly how much you shook your mouse around when you discovered that your wallpaper had been not only reset to Windows default, but also permanently deleted.
