This ^, there is a built in defer updates feature in windows update, its configurable in the group policy editor, mine is set to 10 days.And this is why my system postpones updates by at least 4 days haha
Drives I am using are not shingled HDDs, and last event in event viewers(after rebooting from a freeze) shows this warning message:Is it a shingled HDD by any chance? Those, at least some of them, can use the TRIM commands to better bury data under shingles. Anyway, it's an interesting issue - does Windows send TRIM to just any HDD or does it try to determine if it's necessary, and do 10 and 11 differ in that behaviour?
It seems like a known issue with windows defrag and have seen many complaints regarding this behaviour with none of recomended solutions working.The storage optimizer couldn't complete retrim on Photos (Ebecause: The operation requested is not supported by the hardware backing the volume.

Microsoft, like a lot of these other software mega corporations, is outsourcing a lot of the QA and development to cheap labor all over the world and the results speak for themselves.A company with a 2023 revenue of 212 billion dollars and net income of 72 billion dollars can't be bothered to spend some money on QA before rolling out updates that bork their customers.

I don't think you need the word "tested" in that sentence at all.you'd be amazed to find out just how little of it is developed or tested internally.

No doubt they are using AI, as MS is running at break-neck speed toward the AI dumpster fire without even a garden hose.How much you want to bet that the engineers and devs are using AI tools to push through this crap code?
Windows 10 brought these changes. Never-ending updates, with telemetry and real users as beta testers to their feedback mechanism. Remember the good ol days when you only beta tested the pre-release versions of Windows?MS is an astonishing example of corporate indifference to their customers. A company with a 2023 revenue of 212 billion dollars and net income of 72 billion dollars can't be bothered to spend some money on QA before rolling out updates that bork their customers. I honestly don't understand why people apologize for them but I suspect some will just call me and others that point out the MS indifference as Microsoft haters. In my case the shoe fits mostly for many more reasons than just their OS incompetence.
They outsourced it to us. The sad thing is, they dumped heaps of legacy hardware with W11, yet W11 feels like the most flakey OS from MS to date.Microsoft, like a lot of these other software mega corporations, is outsourcing a lot of the QA and development to cheap labor all over the world and the results speak for themselves.
Whatever software product you're using, whether it's something inside your PC, car, fridge, etc, you'd be amazed to find out just how little of it is developed or tested internally.
It's worse than Win Me?They outsourced it to us. The sad thing is, they dumped heaps of legacy hardware with W11, yet W11 feels like the most flakey OS from MS to date.

In some ways, yes. Granted, I was one of the few that didn’t seem to have trouble with Me. I’ve seen a fair number of UI glitches in W11. More than in any other OS, and this is on a corporate machine, so it’s not like it’s because of bargain hardware. A few other examples of things I’ve seen: a line of code appearing at the top of my display right before the machine falls asleep; minimize, maximize, close buttons have rectangles instead of the usual symbols; when waking my PC, being able to see the unlocked contents of my desktop before being greeted with the password prompt. There’s just something about the UI that feels like it’s on a delay.It's worse than Win Me?

What the hell... is your machine haunted? lmaoJust last week, a coworker and I were watching the open programs in my taskbar shift a little to the right, then maybe 30 seconds later, they'd shift back to the left. Even if I just sat there doing nothing at all, this happened all day long. What was it doing? I have no idea.

Me had issues because they took away Real Mode, which crashed some stuff for sure. Paved the way for Xp, which didn’t allow that either.I'm not sure, Me was pretty awful. I'd say not as bad as Windows 8. Worse than Vista for sure. Vista was just a memory hog.
