Official Complaint: Broken Mandatory Update & Incompetent Tech Support
Hello Microsoft Community, I am writing to express my deep frustration with the latest mandatory Windows updates and the shocking incompetence of the tech support agent who handled my case. The update broke my system entirely—breaking the Start Menu, Settings, and messing up my screen reader (NVDA). When I reached out to tech support, the experience was a disaster: 1. The agent suggested creating a "Restore Point" while the system GUI was already completely corrupted and broken! 2. Worse, the agent didn't even know how to type a basic command in CMD, typing "Onlime" with an "M" instead of "Online" with an "N"! As a software developer, I had to fix Microsoft's mess myself using the "sfc /scannow" command, which successfully repaired the corrupt files after your support staff failed. Where are Satya Nadella's promises about accessibility when mandatory updates break our systems and support agents can't even spell basic CLI commands? Microsoft needs to respect its users and properly train its technical support staff. I have attached the screenshot as clear evidence of this incompetence.
It is impossible to add the optional function in the latest "experimental version".
I'm experiencing an issue with the latest experimental build where I am unable to add optional features through the settings menu. Despite multiple attempts, the option to select and install additional features simply does not respond or appears to be broken, preventing me from customizing my system as I normally would.
opted out of WIP, but still, I am stuck
After the recent Windows Insider program update, we can now leave the WIP, even if we were previously on the developer build, without doing a clean reinstall. I did not have time and energy to do a complete clean reinstall of Windows to go back from developer build to the normal Windows version as I I got my PC recently and I did not know about these thing so I accidentally signed up in WIP Without doing research that we cannot go back from the developer build without doing a clean reinstall but thankfully, they gave the option recently. I went to the Windows Update section> Windows Insider Programs section in the Updates section and clicked on the rollout button, and there was a link to leave the insider program, which I also did, and on that website, now it says that I am no longer a WIP user. After I also got an update, which was not a preview build like I was getting before, but Windows 11, version 25H2, so I installed it, and I have read it was in place to upgrade an IPU, and all my data should be migrated safely. Although I did not check everything, from what I have used PC after Opting out and updating, mostly everything is in place as it was. The problem is that now when I go to the update section. Then, in the Windows Insider program section, I see a reinstall button where it says that it will go back to the preview build if I click on it, but if we are outside of the Insider build like I was before, when I even tried signing up for this it did not show us restart button when i was on the normal Windows 11 when I bought the pc. The normal Windows update after opting out should not show a restart button in the Windows Insider Program settings. Also, when I try to check for an update, it still shows me the Preview build I was getting before, which shouldn't happen. Why am I not getting a normal update, and instead, the preview build, AND in the Windows Insider section (Windows Update menu), I am still seeing that it says to restart to get back to the Windows Insider program, which should not be supposed to happen. HELP, THIS IS FRUSTRATING.Do you have 20+ windows open and can't find anything?
Same here. And for a long time, I just accepted it as part of the daily routine. Terminals, browsers, VSCodes… the same app open multiple times. And every time I looked for something: either I couldn't find it, or I ended up switching to the wrong window. A small annoyance, sure. But when it happens 30 times a day, it starts to add up. WIN + TAB, CTRL + TAB… I use them constantly. But they're slow, clunky, and never really useful when you have a lot of windows or multiple desktops. What I needed was something simple: type a window's name, no matter which desktop it's on, and jump straight to it. I couldn't find anything like that. So I built it myself. I've created a window manager that's fast, lightweight, and designed with one goal: get you exactly where you want to be, save you time, and make your life a little easier. It's open-source . If you found this project useful, please STAR it and UPVOTE, It helps me a lot! P.S.: Since I could never find the Recycle Bin either… I added a shortcut for that too. Priorities 😄 All feedback is welcome — I'm reading!
