We could read and write feedback in English with the previous version of Feedback Hub; now it seems we are stuck with the local language. #WindowsInsiders

@designedbyabin @marcusash @paytondev Yes, but they'll have to ship a new version of this system-wide font, which will probably happen. In the meantime, they use what's already there.

@ASwisstone @marcusash @paytondev Can’t they make one?

this menu is everything wrong with modern Microsoft

@designedbyabin @marcusash @paytondev That's because the bottom, left, and right already exist in the built-in icons, not top. Search for DockLeft here: #icon-list" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/…

@marcusash @paytondev You gave similar icons to bottom, left & right. But just decided to go with an up ARROW for top!!! That’s baffling - even for a concept.

@pavandavuluri That's great!

The team and I have spent the past several months analyzing feedback from the community. What came through was the voice of people who care deeply about Windows and want it to be better. Read this blog post to learn more about what we're doing in response as we look to raise the bar on Windows 11 quality. Please keep the feedback coming, to help us shape the future of Windows together. blogs.windows.com/windows-inside…

@guyrleech I saw this years ago: I tried logging in with my password after switching my Microsoft Account to passwordless

Oo, a new error I've not seen before on your planet

We are literally about to build super intelligence before Microsoft ever figures out how to fix this

@zacbowden It was a lightweight app that could easily open a 500MB log file. Can't do that anymore. and it auto-reloads the file from disk without asking.

I always see people complaining whenever Microsoft adds new features to Notepad, and frankly I don't get it. 90% of the new stuff added to Notepad over the last few years is good, quality stuff that enhances the app. I use Notepad more now than I ever did before.

I hate that Microsoft might be vibecoding Windows, but it's inevitable microsoft laid off everyone who knows how c++ works so now they just prompt gpt 5 to fix the codebase. 30% of windows is written by ai. that is why your printer drivers were deleted to make room for 4gb of copilot telemetry they rewrote office in typescript. file explorer and the notification center are now just bloated electron instances that take 3 seconds to render a right click menu the taskbar and start menu were rebuilt from scratch in react just to shove ads and "recommended" bloatware in your face. it uses more ram than world of warcraft did in 2004 copilot is being forced into notepad and paint. they are forcing you to test it in your basic tools windows search isn't looking for your files. it's a bing wrapper designed to sell you a microsoft 365 subscription while you're desperately trying to find a local pdf the widgets section is another bloat that nobody asked for. edge webview was designed to keep your cpu usage high enough that you're forced to switch to linux over all of that, the task manager barely works in the latest updates nobody at microsoft knows what "win32" means anymore. they replaced their support forums with an ai that just tells you to "try restarting" if your kernel panics

@oerg866 Yeah they seriously messed up, you can see the context menu items loading before your eyes and rearranging themselves.

Have to use Windows 11 at my new job. I simply cannot believe how bad it is. It's just next-level jank. Everything takes a noticable time to load - Start menu, right clicks, etc. Typing in browser windows lags like hell, too. On a 13th gen i7 with 64GB RAM... What the fuck.

"Hide pointer while typing" is not working in UWP controls 🫥 #Windows11

As a non-native English speaker, there's nothing more annoying than localized emoji pickers I mean, can't you return me emoji search hits for ❤️ in both English and French? 😅

@ccmexec @ncbrady Intune's half-baked features, as usual...

@ncbrady Best way of using it currently is to show it to management and use it so they understand we need time to fix it.

The Secure Boot status report is live in #MSintune Make sure to take action before summer!! techcommunity.microsoft.com/blog/windows-i… #Windows11

@tomwarren @Chris123NT

@Chris123NT they didn't rename Office to Microsoft 365 Copilot...

I fucking called this, they renamed office 365 to copilot and now they're telling investors that they have massive amounts of copilot users, LMFAO

@tobiigaming @MSFSofficial it is

You’re locked into just one Tobii supported title for life 😨 Which game are you picking? 👀

Windows is so irritating. I’m literally on my way out of the office, just trying to shut down my system, and suddenly Windows decides now is the perfect time to force a mandatory update. No option to skip, no “remind me later.” So there I am, standing around while everyone else has already left. These updates show up every two days, and I hate it. I’ve never once seen a genuinely useful feature added. Instead, every update brings at least one brand-new bug .. like it’s a subscription service for inconvenience. Windows 7 was cool, man. 2 GB RAM and peak life experience. Now it lags on 8 GB.

@horizon_secured You can see them in Gui, the Monitoring node can show you the effective policy

@JenMsft Yes, however, it's not discoverable for new users.

Just trying to make a point - did you know clicking the right edge of the taskbar in Windows will minimize all your apps and show the desktop?

@XenoPanther Must be run as admin. You can also launch it from the Run dialog by holding Ctrl+Shift while pressing Enter, which will run it with admin rights as well

Does anyone know why "shutdown /R /fw" works in cmd but not in run?

@XenoPanther I'm still hopeful. Windows is at a low point, but I'm not convinced Microsoft will persist in the error

I want Windows to do well, I want my passion to come back but I'm no longer hopeful

I'll still keep tracking changes but I do plan to move fully to Linux if the quality doesn't improve soon

JavaScript creator warns against “rushed web UX over native” as Windows 11 leans harder on WebView2 and Electron. "As a b2g (FirefoxOS) cofounder, also connected to webOS folks in the day, I'm against bloat due to rushed use of Web UX over native," JavaScript legend Brendan Eich said. "It can be done right; it takes time." All popular Windows apps are either using WebView2 (which is based on Chromium) or Electron. Worse, Microsoft is also adding WebView2 to the Notification Center on Windows 11. This needs to stop. Bring back native apps! Use web tech only where it's required, and do it the right way.
