Microsoft gives up on users experiencing problems updating their Windows 11 machines. Now recommends a "manual correction"

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.

How you set it can vary depending on what you're running. Linux is all about choice, and choice means multiple ways to do a thing. Places to look:
raspi-config- catchall CLI tool on Raspbian, not sure if it covers both of the following, but it's a good option to start with- /etc/network/interfaces - the Debian way to do things
- Network Manager - usually used for desktops, but can be used by servers; if the first two don't work, try this
But you could also have installed something different. If you post your OS and version and what you're running on it, I can give better advice.
That said, normal networking rules apply:
- don't set a static lease in your DHCP range, or you could get conflicts, which can look like it's not working
- consider using DHCP and setting the static lease through your router; use the MAC address and you'll never need to mess with network settings on the Pi
- if you set on the pi, make sure everything is correct (netmask, gateway, interface)
-
So you're saying you don't like the choice in Linux? On a given distro, there's usually one right way and maybe 2 other ways. Learn the right way for your setup and you're good.
If you're using Network Manager, do it the Network Manager way. If you're using Debian as a server, do it the Debian way (`/etc/network/interfaces). If you're using SUSE, do it the SUSE way (YaST).
If you don't want to deal with it, use DHCP (usually default) and set the static lease on your router using the MAC address. That's better anyway because you can change all of your static leases in one spot if you ever need to.

2 is usually install, using a live version of Linux kinda sucks.

My guess is that they’ll keep adding to WSL until Windows is just a legally ambiguous closed-source wrapper around Linux. They’ll make the GPL’d part so convoluted that they’re the only organization able to maintain it, which will force people to continue using their proprietary wrapper. Basically Android but for PCs.

I'm approaching 60.
How old are you? I'm guessing you are like 40. You don't even know who Joel is.
