As an Apple shareholder, I’d just like to thank Microsoft for their outstanding contribution to selling more Macs.

It sounds like you can just log out and back in to fix it? For a local system, the article says it only occurs for "First time user logon after a cumulative update was applied."

I'm administering >300 virtual desktops running Windows 11.
Imagine what my phone would sound like if I pushed this update.

Just net send everyone a message saying that if they have issues, they need to reboot.

(is net send still a thing?)

It's nice of them to admit it, but saying Windows is broken is a bit like saying water is wet

Geez, talk about spreading FUD 🙄

This will occur for the following:

  • First time user logon after a cumulative update was applied.

So it happens once, after this update was applied. Jesus christ the level of fake outrage and exaggeration is insane and should be studied.

If you are wondering, provisioning essentially is the way admins configure devices as they automatically deploy various settings and policies on a client PC.

This is a thing us sysadmins should be aware of. And that's the end of the fucking story.

Lemmy, through gritted teeth, "NAOWW! Your Windows install SUCKS!"

"Mine doesn't have any of the issues I read about on lemmy."

GET. BENT.

No lie. Every time I've merely mentioned that I'm not having the issues we're raging about, downvoted, not one single reply. I'll get downvoted on this comment, no one will have a single rebuttal. Watch.

Then they'll hop over to other groups to trash on various Linux distros, "how do I get my video working?", "why is this a total clusterfuck?", and so on.

Same people talked me into switching to Firefox. What a fucking mess. I was on Edge the other day thinking, "Wow, internet is working exceptionally well today! Oh, forgot to switch back to the superior browser."

And these same people tell me several times a day to switch to Linux. Been there, done that, many times over the last 20-years. Headless Linux for servers? Only way to fly. Desktop? "Well, you can't use all your peripherals, and you'll have to navigate janky versions of the software you're used to, but it's better!"
