1 month is all it took to quit forever. Again.

I'm done! It took me 1 month after a 15 year break.

 

Everything about Microsoft has to change, if you are going to earn any respect back.

#1 Microsoft is closed source. There is no way to look to be sure that what you are being told is true. Nullius in verba says that Science is not supposed to take anybody's word for it.
Just because some developer decides to float an object over the entire OS, means nothing without a key and source to back it up. Anything shy is a guess or contextual empiricism. You're expecting me to guess? Try publishing your code for critique.

If Onenote is highjacking backups and the file system, then as far as end user is concerned, Onenote owns it. Because that's how I get to it. If you created an object to float over from the other side of the system, then you need to clearly spell it out and stop making us guess and you certainly have no right to call us a troll when your description matches nothing an enduser can obtain.

 

#1 Henry Ford was the one that figured out that if Billy JoeBob drops his tool, the entire assembly line doesn't shut down. Layered engineering is important. I should be able to rip an entire layer out for service, without the rest of the system skipping a beat. This nukes your floating object. It's not even supposed to be there. The one your community calls everybody a troll over.

I just paid (happily) $400 to get Win11 off my brand new machine. External drive failed so I gladly paid $300 for a new nvme and $50 for the reader I will need.

 

Your attitude sucks and so does your operating system.
Europe just dumped Microsoft. The trend has begun.
Fix your attitude and your OS.

    It’s understandable that after such a long investment, including hardware costs, you’re feeling disillusioned and ready to move away from Windows. Many users explore alternative operating systems like Linux for greater transparency and control, especially when Windows no longer aligns with their expectations.

    Your decision to move away from Windows and seek alternatives makes sense if those principles are non-negotiable for you. It’s important that users have the ability to scrutinize, understand, and modify their systems without feeling locked in or misled.
