The latest Windows 11 update has some good news and bad news. On one hand, Microsoft greatly improved dark mode in File Explorer, and on the other hand, it made it significantly worse.

Days without being smug that I don't have to care about whatever Windows fucked up this week: 0

You are being smug and guess what? I don't have to worry about whatever MS fucked up this week, because none of this shit happens on my Win11 install.

In my 2-years on lemmy, I haven't seen a single Window issue that I'm told I'm suffering. Not one. Not once.

Just because you don't see Copilot Vision, doesn't mean it wasn't forced onto your machine. I consider mandatory spyware installs to be an issue.

Everything Copilot in my Start menu is asking for an install. AGAIN, I have yet to see these things I'm supposed to be suffering.

Your turn. Tell me what MS has jammed up my ass that I'm unaware of and issues I'm having that I'm not.

I can't defend MS here, but the lemmy hate is ludicrous.

I literally just told you. Copilot Vision is part of the OS now as a system update a while back.

KB5070311 is a preview/beta update. Don't become a beta tester for free. Just don't turn on this option to not become one.

I’ve been working on a dark/light mode for an app at work so I’ve been toggling the system theme from light to dark a lot this week.

Anyway, half the time the taskbar gets stuck in the old mode so it’ll stay dark when set to Light. But the text will change so it’s black text on black taskbar. Super cool stuff MS.

Windows never was a reference of clean programming, but it seems to me that the UI bugs in 11 are much worse than in previous versions. Which suggests that many other invisible bugs are present in the core system.

Disclaimer: I don't use windows much, so I might be wrong.
