What the fuck?!
At this point Win 11 has waaaaay surpassed Vista as the worst windows ever.
Okay, wow. I’ve garnered plenty of downvotes on the Fediverse by not auto-hating many of Microsoft’s new features and updates, I’m sure I’ve been labelled a “Microsoft shill” or somesuch in some folks’ user notes. But this is just ridiculous.
The single most important rule Microsoft should have is “thou shalt not brick thy customers’ computers with a routine update.” Sure, it’s not the most common set of triggering conditions in the world, but the problem is immediate and obvious upon booting up. How do they not have a test plan that would catch this?
Ah. Welcome back Windows 8.
So it’s a botched update not a desigbed feature.
It’s Microsoft, same thing.
Jesus fucking Christ… Is Microsoft literally vibe-coding everything now? Do these updates not go through any rigorous testing at all before being released into the wild?
The only solution is to re-image?? This is just flat out fucking awful.
Sorry to all those people who went for the LTSC versions of Windows. How the living fuck does this kind of stuff happen.
It’s less the vibe coding and more: this is what happens when you have the developers do all the QA and fire the actual QA staff.
They’ve been screwing up the Windows updates since Windows 10, vibe coding wasn’t a thing at that point.
I remember hearing about this shift of theirs way back in the early Windows 10 days and thinking, “That sounds like suicidal stupidity but maybe there’s something I don’t know?”
Nope. It’s exactly as I thought.
Sounds like the development team outsourced the QA work to the customer.
*relaxes in Linux*
We have hundreds of devices running this exact described situation, and we’ve not run into a single instance of this. Is this just one guy on Reddit complaining and the media ran with it?
