    I went back to Win10 at work because file explorer on Win11 was unusable. I’m not waiting a half second every single time I enter a subfolder.

    and even worse in a OneDrive directory, often a full two seconds

    that wasn’t the only issue, but it legitimately prevented me from being able to do my job, because I needed to be able to multitask on several projects at once. what used to be a two minute turnaround on a question somebody would ask me became hours, simply because I could not navigate to a directory in fifteen seconds and check a file quickly. and oh god the file explorer crashes

    unfortunately I still deal with a bunch of that on Win10 now, because they somehow introduced that behaviour with greater frequency into Win10 in the past year

      It’s amazing how a second or 5 at so many levels causes micro-frustration. And it builds up, too.

      I admit I lose just a bit of my shit when the neu web-service web-apps get sluggish, which seems to be very often. Those of us who remember the halcyon days where things were responsive on a pentium know better than to accept the current mess.

      My tolerance for the poor performance and saas-linked core services is rapidly waning.

        The scariest part is how the general population just accepts how bad Windows is, because they don’t have a concept of what a decent piece of software looks like. They just assume that they hate computers but are simply forced to tolerate it to do their job.

      I’m so glad I blocked all the updates from MS on mydesktopm. It’s a nice stop gap until I get moved to linux

      I have that problem on my son’s pc. It’s definitely an io issue. A faster disk would solve the problem.
