    I literally feel this as more of a feature than a bug.

    Can we please keep it?

    Running MicroWin de-bloated Windows 11 and also in Europe so Edge is uninstallable I am completely unaffected by this.

    Can I get KB5079473 and keep it? I prefer those free apps which are pushed down your throat to have no internet access. As I don’t have rights to remove at least Edge without completely removing Windows.

      It’s not a good clean way but if you get all your files off the system and reformat installing version N (intended for EU) then you get much less bloat and tracking by default and you also are allowed to kill edge,

        Thanks, whish you came with that advice when MS force installed 11.

        Now I feel it’s not worth the hassle, as the next time I’m going to reinstall my OS it’s going to be Linux instead.

    They asked copilot to slop an update for them and it tried to kill itself. Tragic, really.

    I’ve got 3 pieces of software broken right now from large corporations, Rubrik being one of them. A 10 billion dollar corporation and its broken specifically with HyperV, and all they can say is theyre working with Microsoft to fix it, meanwhile our backups dont work.

    I think this is the tip of the iceberg, this shit is far reaching, Microsoft is doing such a terrible job with Windows that I think the entire tech industry is being affected. I fear the fact so much critical infrastructure resides in Azure, I’ve seen bugs in Azure that make absolutely no sense, while Intune is still missing basic functionality.

    We need an exodus, I feel so much concentration around Microslop can bring modern civilizations to its knees with one cyber event.

      The realistic CBI on windows and open source has changed dramatically in a few months. If your backend is Microslop or Oracle dependent I pitty you.

      To be fair to Rubrik, I’m not sure Microsoft realise they still sell Hyper-V.

      Their KB articles fail to mention recent versions, they’ve removed all training courses and certifications on it and their support teams? I’m not sure they could spell it.

      Anyway, so we’re moving from VMware to Hyper-V to ditch Broadcom… FML.
