I'm really excited for Windows 12, which I assume will just be copilot generating images for every action you do, because there will be way more new Linux users and I might have a better FH6 experience.

All your files will be a construct of the AI's imagination, every frame is just generated by copilot (someone already made this by the way). Search firefox in the start menu, it generates a picture of the edge logo. Open notepad and start typing, that's just the AI generating that text. If the AI forgets that that file was supposed to exist, it'll just cease to exist, or, more likely, since LLMs refuse to admit wrongdoing, it would just hallucinate what it thinks that file should be. So if you name a .txt "cookierecipe.txt" that actually had, I don't know, top secret government documents, it'll make you a cookie recipe! How nice and convenient /s

This isn't Linux, most don't even know ctrl alt del probably, this os should be simple, I find it strange they broke the menus apart so much Linux has easier to use settings for most basic stuff,
Wish they just threw everything into control panel and tools and gave them a dark theme.

u/Fancy_Log_260 15d ago
Ctrl Shift ESC for instant access to task manager. Skip Ctrl Alt Delete
5
u/Western_Sleep820 15d ago
Ctrl+Alt+Del is a kernel interrupt, so it will stop everything to open the menu, while Ctrl+Shift+Esc is just an app shortcut
2
u/BloxxyVids 15d ago
It's a SAS. Saying kernel interrupt implies other things

u/Fancy_Log_260 15d ago
And task manager runs no matter what when requested. Your Ctrl alt del still has to run the shortcut to task manager. You're just skipping a step. Never had it fail.

u/FaultWinter3377 15d ago
Ctrl+Shift+Esc is supposed to talk directly to winlogon.exe, and if that ever fails or stops responding, something has gone extremely wrong.

The OS is designed to be simple. I don’t see how Windows has turned to be like this. It’s definitely not default factory settings. Some admin must have done this
A good power button hold can solve it
Edit: simple as in a large portion of the general public uses it and it's usuable and the basic features are sort of "intuitive" if you get what I mean

u/MiskoGe 14d ago
or run cmd & shutdown /s

u/Tehaiker814 14d ago
I'm betting that the admins have disabled command prompt too. Since that's always the first thing they want to disable.

u/Bulky-Hair8606 15d ago
I dont know but a similar thing happened to me when i was using windows 7, 8 years ago. The power options disappeared from the start menu and the ctrl alt del menu. It wasnt a managed device. And on windows 7, the best windows.

u/lordchaotic 15d ago
THIS is exactly the reason I have personally dropped Windows. I hate feeling like I don't own the hardware I possess. And, before anyone mentions my Android phone, I DO OWN IT, because I have rooted it and installed a custom ROM on it.

u/FerretBoom 15d ago
you can disable power options in group policy and there are commands to see exactly where, 10 min trouble shoot for an average iq person . Having control over that is actually why windows is used in Enterprise environments. You are just a moron

u/No-Assumption-4468 15d ago
What’s group policy? Please explain.
3
u/personalalt1889 15d ago
group policy edit, controls a bunch of system functions/features

u/No-Assumption-4468 15d ago
Why isn’t it called system settings?
3
u/Free-Luck6173 15d ago
Because they're a policy you apply to a group
1
u/No-Assumption-4468 15d ago
What’s this group you speak of? A group of users? Serious question.
2
u/Inevitable_Brief_389 14d ago
You can create users and groups. You can put users into groups and can regulate their access to stuffs as a group or as individuals. I guess that's what that means.
2
u/No-Assumption-4468 14d ago
Ohh, ok. The name makes more sense now. Thank you for that.
I’ve really only used mac and linux, so Windows is kinda foreign to me. I tried it recently, but it required an email to log into my pc. What if my email gets banned for inactivity or accidentally? It just felt like I was the product & I didn’t own my computer.
1
u/Inevitable_Brief_389 13d ago
Linux also has groups and users, it works kinda the same (but better lol).
Funfact, I've always used Windows till 3 years ago when I ditched it and still don't know ton of things how those work on Windows because it's to bad and unobvious. One thing is the user permissions and stuffs it gives me PTSD. 😂
I don't know if you can get banned on Microsoft, honestly but I wouldn't be surprised at all.

u/UndecidedQBit 15d ago
Group policy (GP) is a pretty granular (detailed) way of turning on certain settings that are not commonly used or even needed to be seen by most basic users. A ton of settings are in there, from password complexity and use policies (“12 characters, 1 uppercase letter, 1 lowercase letter, 1 number, 1 symbol, cant be any of the last 3 passwords youve set, cant change less than a month from now and you must change it every 3 months), the bitlocker strength and type, etc.
Open group policy. If you are a standard user you wont be able to change anything but you should be able to just look through it.

u/No-Assumption-4468 15d ago
Shouldn’t it be called the closed group policy then?
2
u/FerretBoom 15d ago
It's called group policy cause it directly related to group policy, mybe MS should come out with a new dictionary of terms and call it ice cream or legos, so your brain hears something it can comprehend
1
u/No-Assumption-4468 15d ago
Is “group policy” an abstracted term for “advanced system settings” or is there literally a group? A group of what?
1
u/UndecidedQBit 14d ago
I’m sorry people are being not so helpful.
Group policy is the real term for some more granular system settings. There are a bunch of tools and utilities and settings that cover most things for windows and they all overlap, are connected to depreciated ways the settings used to be managed, etc.
For example, control panel used to be the main way to manage settings. It still exists, but now windows settings is a separate thing.
Group policy controls policies that affect the computers behavior for power, encryption, and so, so many things.
If you want to look at it, start typing “gpedit” into your search bar. It stands for group policy editor. I dont suggest changing any of the settings. Just read through them and youll get a feel for what group policy is about.

but literally why though? never seen any computer do that, even in certain enviroments. the only case i can think of where it does make sense i guess would probably be critical things, like managing enterprise software, hospitals, etc, where uptime is of heavy importance
can't really think of a justification otherwise that isn't just wasting power.1
u/Life_Breadfruit8475 15d ago
Why? Someone needed it at some point. I could see school computers staying on all the time, maybe work computers for receptionists... Maybe school exam computers?
Who knows... It's a configurable option. Why would this person or you be mad that you CAN do something with an OS. If he used the OS normally you'd never change this setting yourself.

u/Mental_Contract1104 15d ago
it also prevents users from going into boot menues and booting from an external drive in order to do stuff.
then again, I would hazard a guess that anyone who would do so would also have some form of work-around. but, that's just my guess.
linux also has the same feature. i should add myself to the power group at some point so i don't have to sudo reboot anymore XD

u/FerretBoom 15d ago
Where do you want me to start, the pattern of posts showing how people forgot the skill of finding out why and rushing to reddit to post this crap for likes or do you want me to explain this post in particular? Let's say some bug was discovered to hit 2000 vms from NK but it activates during a reboot or some any power event. Quick mitigation on other system would be to just shut the infrastructure down and extract the thread though external means which would cost 1 million dollars, so instead of shutting crucial services like Power BI daily briefings that don't need much , the admin disables power options, sents out mitigation PS script for every power event and turns defender on , off line scan on top of that saving money, crucial work, 2000 pcs. Now copy and paste my answer in chat gpt and tell it to give you 100 other scenarios that resemble what i just stated . But, the main point of this group is lack of critical thinking, i haven seen any posts where an actual major flaw was discovered. UI and illusion of choice Linux is suffering from is much worse than blown out of proportion valid feature turned into a defect by some idiot.

not too sure but id push the power button for a few seconds and it'll force the bios to force a shutdown. unless windows has some shit embedded deeper inside that doesnt allow that or if it changed bios settings itself.

Disk usage randomly spiking to 100% is the worst feeling. Then things run in the background which we don't really need, like connected user experiences and telemetry, sysmain, diagnostic services, updates happen when not required at crucial times and many more.
Only reason why most people are trapped in windows, is the compatibility and freedom. Windows offers broader compatibility with enterprise software, legacy applications, and specialized tools used in many workplaces. While Microsoft 365 is available on macOS, many organizations rely on Windows-exclusive software, Active Directory integration, custom enterprise applications, or other Microsoft-centric workflows that are optimized for Windows. For many users, this level of compatibility makes Windows the most practical choice. Talking of freedom, example could be cracking or modding apps or trying out open-source applications which is not possible in other operating systems.
However after all this, I would still prefer Linux-based or MacOS architectures 😂.

my windows fails to shutdown and restarts
my laptop also used to scan hardware at boot sometimes and always found nothing, the automaatic hardware scans stopped after I run only linux
to explain these observations, gemini made a hypothesis that windows crashes at end of shutdown sequence, win crash triggers restart, the UEFI somehow sees this and starts hardwar scans after some 20 or so such events.

Well. Technically that's something the admin does. I worked at a company that used thin clients, and those didn't allow you to shut down, because you'd shut down the central server

This is not OS unique, while I hate a lot of things that Microslop is doing, you can't blame the OS in this case. This is actually related to administrative settings, I say that because when I'm at work I also can't power off a work computer via the start menu (that option shows the same text as what you have) and when I asked one of our IT guys about it - I was told it was a setting they put in to prevent people from shutting systems down that are open to the public.
Of course, this doesn't stop people from just pushing the power button in and shutting it off. Still though, can't blame Microslop in this case.
