This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
"It looks like you're running out of storage space. Unlock the full potential of your hard drive using Windows Space. Please select a payment plan that best suits your needs."
LOL!
I don’t have access to the capabilituaccessmanager. I have to read “permissions” but they’re nowhere to be found. Nice. I guess I’ll wait if my storage space increases with the update. I have wondered why my os is so huge.
It's very shitty.
I am not affected on my Ubuntu installation
They are just "vibe coding" updates now.
And of course, it's crap.
The new Mac Tahoe OS has a weird bug as well.
The wallpaper extention copies the image/video you want to use into a cache and, if you have a wallpaper that changes, it caches every single image you use. If you're drawing from a folder that has 100GB worth of images, it will cache 100GB worth of images...and fill up your hard drive. I was drawing from a folder that has 400GB of images, and it was crashing apps because the cache was taking up all my disk space.
I've had to stop rotating my wallpaper and go with something really simple, and i really miss being able to use all my images.
How many images is 400GB? That’s in incredible wallpaper library
About 8500 images.
macOS uses fucking videos as wallpapers. Yes, you read that right.
Yeah, they are pretty cool actually.
I just recently dealt with this on a coworkers pc. No doubt it will balloon back up and require me to remove it again. Theirs was at 96 gb and their drive was 500gb.
That is unsettling news. I quickly ran uname -a on all my machines. I was lucky enough to find out that I'm unaffected.
typed uname -a in console just now to check. Luckily i patched my system more than 10 years ago
Win95 was trash for a while. ME was always trash. OSX wasn’t great on release. Every Linux distro has had its time in the darkness.
I think 11 is going through some significant structural changes at a faster pace than before, while at the same time the natural greed of capitalism forced MS to get rid of things like large QA teams and support.
If MS were really interested they would begin open sourcing a lot of the things that don’t make them any money (calculator, clock, notepad, UI) and focus on the major items.
Work has rolled everyone over to Windows 11 and I have to agree with many of the other replies. It's the most half baked OS they've released in a really long time. Really idiotic stuff happens... Like the snapshot and calculator tools just randomly refusing to start. And Outlook randomly refuses to recognize certain key inputs for a few minutes at a time (while other running apps continue to work just fine). Just really annoying.
Outlook classic is one of the better examples of a legacy app with tons of integration capabilities that should have been overhauled years ago. The way plugins work is probably related to your issues.
The modern Outlook app is significantly more reliable but has its own quirks that are pretty painful when coming from classic.
Same, I just figure if they want to use windows, then they need to accept all the work impacting problems and stoppages. Just like how they accept the security implications of an all windows network..
It’s so entrenched though, and the typical user doesn’t know any different these days so it’s all windows and cloud now. I’m not saying there isn’t a place for these things, but it doesn’t have to be the default all the time..
Don't think it's just an Outlook thing, same thing happened to me in the file explorer. Weird thing is I opened another explorer window and that worked fine, while at the same time the other window was still unresponsive.
Just windows 11 failing at windows sometimes. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I too have experienced the funky unresponsive File Explorer bug. A second window worked even while the first was still unresponsive.
My scrollwheel input from my mouse will just stop working for a bit in a certain window. But will continue working in a different window.
Hmmm. Let me check to see if I'm affected/infected.
Nope! No windows anymore. All good.
Also on linux myself, but clearly I still have this issue
What do you use, btw
We know it isn't Arch because they world have already told us.
I was looking for the elusive low key arch user 😂
I use CachyOS.
Which is based on Arch btw…
Mint, Bazzite and Debian
With the way so many of my (corporate) apps have been behaving lately, I'm convinced they've all been using slopcode.
Just the specific way the apps misbehave is shit I'd never seen before the recent AI bubble.
Don't forget about the large number of layoffs
As someone who has been around since the DOS days, I can tell you that while there has been an uptick in more severe and ridiculous bugs the last few years, we are definitely nowhere even close to MSs worst.
Really this is just another loop around the old 'fire everyone with experience and hire cheaper labor' cycle that they like to do on a regular loop.
Good information. However, the safest fix would be to delete the OS and install literally anything else (https://hannahmontana.sourceforge.net/). But alas, due to work constraints I understand some are stuck with Windows.
Literally says "if you are forced to use win 11" but ya saw an opportunity to be sanctimonious and positively leapt upon it.
Binbows back at it again lmfao
