Microsoft believes the issue may be related to the Samsung Share application, although the exact cause has not yet been confirmed.

Who are we kidding that number is outdated at this point. Probably 40% now given the increase in ridiculous bugs.
How dare you have a factual, not sensationalized headline for anything concerning Microsoft. Let me fix this for you:
Microsoft is eliminating the C drive in the latest version of Windows, leaving only OneDrive for users to store their files.
🤬
Microslop.
What a sloppy OS they produced!
ffs how can at this much further into Windows cycle, and we still have shit like this? I mean the main drive is the most important one, I can understand if this happens to Win 1 or 2 but after soo many iterations? Just no.
There must be something really seriously wrong at Microsoft. I can understand that Windows patches are complex and that they might break some of those crazy things people are running on their machines. But how is a bug that is killing access to the C:\ drive able to get through testing? WTF are they doing?
It's not as bad as that time they permanently deleted user documents and photos.
See they had this trick where if you didn't have enough space on your drive to unpack an update, they'd just move your shit to OneDrive temporarily, then move it back when the update was done. Only they forgot to move it back, and lost it. Oops.
Seriously?!?! 😲
It's going to come out that there's AI in the code. And the code testing was done by AI, who gave the buggy code the green light.
Or worse: AI is doing the QA as well
"Code Testing" = QA
What QA? Microsoft's QA was always the CEO demoing the latest repository head on stage.
They at least used to be embarassed by a live BSOD.
We're doing the QA.
They don’t need testing because they tell the ai to not make any errors
my boss loves AI and he uses it for everything. he made some stats graphs and summaries, and he was bragging how he got AI to make them errorless: he tells it to check for errors and makes it swear it's accurate... while we were looking at a graph where the y column numbers were all fucked up
And then the LLM says something like "You're absolutely right, there was an error in that code that is clear and obvious now it has been pointed out and despite the fact you gave the instruction to make no errors. Is there anything else I can help with?"
... and they'll be too blind to take that as the warning it is and continue to ask even more of the LLM.
It's Microslop. This is what's wrong. Also, that they fired too much of the testing staff in favor of (user-)testing rings.
Never again, Windows.
We just had this month's Patch Tuesday and they're still dealing with problems caused by last month's?! I really need to try harder to convince my father putting Linux on his current computer is a better idea than buying a Windows 11 computer.
They need to rapidly reduce the complexity of their software if they want to get this under control. The answer is NOT to add more features, it’s to simplify things.
They aren't capable of doing that.
Source on that is me, I worked for MSFT during the rollout of Windows 8 and the 360 red ring nightmare.
They're internally wayyyyy too culty and cliquey.
Everyone has to do things the MSFT way, and the MSFT way is team leads all leading their own thing and arguing about why its so cool and necessary.
The culture is diametrically opposed to simplifying things and reorienting around a fundamentally minimized, more stable core system.
Everything has to be able to plug into as many other things as possible, which creates insane nested dependency loops and chains that they fuck up all the time.
Why use their stock ticker instead of their name?
Force of habit, shorter to type, everyone knows what I mean.
Great idea, I'll ask Copilot to do that
Has the prediction market latched onto offering a line on Patch Tuesday yet?
Hopefully this doesn't give Microslop executives the idea of turning it into a feature to force their users to save their files onto OneDrive
They're already doing that by partnering with the likes of HP who keep pushing "1TB" Laptops - 128GB eMMC + 1TB OneDrive for a year.
that is fucking filthy.
They are marketed this way? Holy fraudulent ads Batman, I would never want to work at technical support for an OEM who does this, the phone lines will start glowing a bright orange after a year!
It's a feature.
