I have had to use windows for like the last two weeks and the taskbar crashes and freezes constantly so I put a bat file on my desktop that kills and reopens explorer.exe also if my bluetooth headphones disconnect while my mic is muted it refuses to unmute... I have to reboot. This is what people say is a "it just works" experience.

    It's so funny how you can crash the whole Windows desktop by mounting a network share, disconnecting from the network and trying to access it.

    Found that at a previous job where technicians would frequently connect and disconnect from networks. Also, it's impossible to unmount such a share from explorer or PowerShell. Only the old CMD tool works

  • Other day I tried opening the command prompt on a windows server 2019 by hitting the start button and typing cmd. Waited for 20s before hitting win+r and running cmd.exe from there.

    Ws2k19 maybe dated, but wtf is up with that level of performance in searching? I mean if you can't do it in a way approaching satisfactory, then why roll it out at all?

    No one has more problems on windows than a linux-first user.

    Every thread like this has people that can't seem to get windows to do the bare minimum, but I have yet to have a single hiccup in months. I don't get it. This isn't even a "linux bad" comment, I dual boot and enjoy my linux install as well, the only "problems" I have on there are from being new to linux.

    I'm wondering if some of those issues are just simple annoyances that Windows users are used to putting up with. Because I had lots of those before switching to Linux that I didn't think were fixable.

    The only time I had my windows install be completely unbootable was when dual booting. The rest was always an issue.

    That's because all the people who don't have issues, aren't going to make comments about not having issues in a community that is basically dedicated to shitting on it(seriously, check top posts. It's not "haha linux funny meme", it's "windows bad" over and over again).

    Even if they do make a commen,like you, they get downvoted by people who like to wallow in misery.

    NO BECAUSE I'VE LITERALLY DONE THE SAME THING! For me it was on my desktop instead. But yeah. I don't remember exactly why but it happened enough that I definitely had a bat file that just killed explorer.exe. iIf I'm remembering right it auto restarts.
