Welcome to the New Microsoft ___!
I am so tired and this is only my 4th year.
Clicking on a URL in a non-browser app? Surely you want to see that in Edge and not your default browser.
Yeah and every file type opening in edge for some reason? Annoying.
I’m so sick of this. Didn’t they catch a lawsuit over this the first time and have to make it so you can uninstall it?
Notifications, suggestions, and just generally having make the OS get out of my way so I could do what I needed.
Ads in a purchased OS.
Forced Edge openings that, as far as I can tell, can’t be avoided.
This is not the kind of forced edge I like.
- The search in the start menu searching the fucking web with bing instead of my computer
- Accidentally hitting F1 and Edge immediately opens with some “help”
Try MSEdgeRedirect, friend. It won’t stop it from opening a browser, but at least it won’t be Edge.
I switched to Linux Mint, it helped as well!
When they’re not installed correctly, you can get air leaks that make it massively more expensive to heat or cool your home.
I have to use Windows for work and the most annoying thing is the OneDrive-Sync. It makes the explorer extremely slow. When I open it, sometimes it takes more than 5 sec till I can use it. Wtf is this, 1997? Another thing is Teams with the awful performance and constant design changes.
And the “endpoint protection” that scans god only knows what (sends it all online too) when you, tadam, opens the context menu by right clicking. It often takes 40 seconds.
To list a few:
- Onedrive deleting my files
- Very slow
- ads
- ai bullshit
- updating is a pain
- recall
My computer installing an update and restarting because I was away from my desk. I won’t settle for any other OS though since Paint Tool SAI only runs on Windows.
That’s on you. Mine’s set to update at night so I never even notice.
Ah yes. Come back in the morning to resume my work and everything is closed. Thanks, Microsoft.
Lots of stuff and while telemetry eventually made me quit, the most annoying have always been random performance issues. Still have to use Windows at work and I sometimes get progress bars in the Windows Explorer when accessing a fucking directory on the local SSD.
On my old computer whenever I would launch my computer, the desktop icons would be randomly strewn around the desktop. I had to get a utility app that I would run manually every time my computer started in order to fix it.
I guess this is moot for you, but for anyone else, https://github.com/File-New-Project/EarTrumpet
Having to use the wrong slash everywhere
Have you ever tried just using forward slashes anyway? It works more or less some of the time.
Yes, except where it doesn’t, which you have to remember, which makes it just another annoyance.
My solution is to run everything through msys2 😅
I’d actually like it if it was backslash for local paths and forward slash for remote paths. But if you connect to a cifs share, it still uses backslashes, so the whole thing seems pointless
it feels like the natural result of corporate agile. dozens of teams doing little pieces with one dude making each smaller part all on their own. then someone just overrides the merge rules. and now i’m stuck trying to follow the ravings of angry lunatics all talking at once. i just want the os to shut up and do what i tell it to do. and i absolutely do not want it to start pretending its alive with some stupid chat bot ai nonsense.
MS Edge, its a good browser. But fuckin hell does Windows love to shove it in your face every chance it gets.
Use MSEdgeRedirect to use your default browser.
