Microsoft gives up on users experiencing problems updating their Windows 11 machines. Now recommends a "manual correction"
-
At least that shit is somewhat documented.
Uhm, Windows? No.

I think they're more likely to just ditch consumer OS' entirely. Its not their moneymaker anymore, that'd be cloud service subscriptions (O365 and Azure) and enterprise licensing.

I just copy pasted the article into the post so people can read it without having to consent

You should never rewrite a large program:

Most users could work with Linux without problems. They are using their browser, maybe a mail client and maybe some office suite to write stuff. If you mention this on the internet, there will always be someone who shows up and complains that his personal workflow with some obscure software that powers the nuclear reactor that he is running as hobby in his home won't work with Linux.
It's kind of the same with discussions about commuting/bicycles/cars. If you're discussing that maybe more people could commute by bike, the same people will show up and complain that this would not be possible for them because they live on a remote mountain top in the scorching desert far away from civilization and it's raining every day where they live.

I believe I tried the exact raspberry forum entry but it didnt catch on even with reboots and whatever I tried.
Saved for the future though. -

They rewrote the taskbar and Start menu for Windows 11, and left out stuff like being able to move the taskbar or even have separate taskbar items for each instance of an application. Rewriting the whole OS would be a disaster.

If I remember correctly that didnt work despite following the instructions.
Either I did it wrong or something changed. Oh well. I will keep that for future reference and maybe it'll work then. -
Windows is easy, bro, you just need to run this shady PowerShell script to get rid of ads, run this random EXE from github.ru to disable telemetry, install ClassicShell to make the UI actually usable, install a million utilities for basic features (each from a separate site, of course ; the centralized Windows Store is full of malwarei), then pray
sfc /scannowfixes your system after every update.BTW, don't bother searching for a solution to your problems other than "retry, reboot, reinstall" ; even certified MS professionals don't know how anything works.

Some of them just don't want to take responsibility if they do something wrong under your instructions.

I recommend setting up whatever your alternative is a little before committing to ease the transition a bit. It's different, and it's good to fall back to something else for a bit if you get frustrated.

MS Office's lie of WYSIWYG and the idiotic requirements to follow absurdly complicated formatting guidelines and them not rendering the same from system to system or even correctly is the most brutal offender. If we used simplistic markdown without page-breaking in the GUI, there could've been no point to buy Office, but we don't, and itso hsppens I had encountered many times where some arbitrary cosmetic request like 'you can't have less than X lines per page' caused people toy with formatting or rewriting their documents... only for it showing differently on the other side >:ç Thus leading to even worse things like PDF.
It being the most used piece of office software renders the voluntary switch close to impossible.

At least set it outside your DHCP range.
I have my DHCP set to use from
.100and up, and my static addressee are in the.1-99range.I still set it through my router so I have a place to look up which one is which (they're piling up), but they're all in that range.

It's the only possible solution. The issue with Windows version to version is they merge shit into the base without worrying about how it affects the codebase as a whole. That's why we have 2-3 different ways to access different menus.
