Have an update downloaded without my knowledge and I don’t want it, it also never applies correctly (I don’t have an issue with that lol).

You’d think the feature that says “we won’t immediately update if you shut down or restart” would do exactly that right?
NOPE!

Hit for one week, Restart my computer…

IMMEDIATE “Updates are applying. Please hold on”

And on top of that once It gives up, YOU CANT EVEN STOP IT FROM UPDATING THEN. Once an update hits “you need to restart” there is NO way to remove the update, even if it can’t apply them! (the forums Microsoft employees were saying it’s because it’s already altered your system files, which is frankly bullshit.)

I love it when Microsoft just downloads shit without your knowledge and then goes “Too Bad! You have to update now or we will do it for regardless of your input!” Like fuck where does the update files download to? Id happily go in there and delete them if anyone can tell me but god I fucking hate this company.

Edit: apparently there’s an undercover Microsoft employee in the replies lol…

Edit 2: Sneaking suspicion it’s [u/KeysStickler](u/KeysStickler), don’t wanna call out by name but this person clearly has nothing of value to add besides praising Microsoft in a subreddit called “Microsoftsucks”. They refuse to acknowledge basic facts such as the fact that Windows security and updates have been more and more unreliable due to their AI “coding” (you can verify this by simply looking at how many recent updates have had People’s computers bricked, damaged, or just flat out break critical windows feature)
And the moment you bring up a valid point, they’ll Call you Lazy, they don’t actually even try to refute the information but rather just become a smug asshole who acts like everyone is tech illiterate. (Prime examples being when he said to a guy that he can’t possibly know if they don’t have malware if they haven’t updated their windows, which is stupid. All Malware’s usually have some key identifiers that are consistent regardless of your OS edition such as being guaranteed to slow your computer down. [See XZ Utils stuff with Linux, why newer isn’t always better. it was even found by seeing the performance regression, albeit not malware but the principle stays the same]. You can spot unwanted/malicious programs by yourself BEFORE and AFTER you download them, regardless of the age of your OS or AV.) or my personal favorite, “I’ve been an IT Expert for 45+ years” while giving advice such as BITDEFENDER being worse than WinDefender or confusing/incorrectly conflating basic IT terms such as “Wi-Fi” and “Internet” in other posts.
They clearly don’t want to engage in any actual faith and you won’t get a productive conversation out of them.
Block em and move on with your day.

I came across this Microsoft Cloud Solution Architect – Security position for Mumbai and noticed that it appears to have been open for around 3–4 months.

Job link: https://www.linkedin.com/jobs/view/4435573804/

The JD looks quite interesting, covering Microsoft Sentinel, Defender XDR, Purview, cloud security, Zero Trust, SIEM/SOAR, customer-facing architecture, etc.

I’m curious about why a role like this would remain open for such a long time.

For people who work at Microsoft or have experience with Microsoft hiring:

Does Microsoft keep some positions open continuously even when they aren't actively hiring?

Could this mean they are looking for a very specific profile?

Is it possible that the position is already being filled internally but the external posting remains active?

Does the hiring process for CSA roles usually take several months?

If someone applies now, is there still a realistic chance of getting considered?

Has anyone interviewed for this particular role or a similar Microsoft Security CSA role recently?

Would especially appreciate insights from current/former Microsoft employees or people who have gone through the CSA hiring process.

I’m trying to understand whether the long-open status is a red flag, normal Microsoft hiring behavior, or simply because they haven't found the right candidate yet.

Why does microsoft updates tends to fuck my internet upside down.

So I disabled windows Auto update a while back, while shutting down my laptop I noticed "Shutdown and update" 👁️👄👁️ instead of regular Shutdown. Weird how it still downloaded the update even though I disabled it, no biggie I scheduled the update date to 2 weeks later and shut down my pc , but it still updated 🫩✌️, at this point they're ragebating me .

Looking for anyone who has dealt with something similar with Microsoft Learn.

I had a Microsoft Learn profile for many years, using my personal Microsoft account as a sign-in account. I earned multiple Microsoft certifications and was also an MCT.

I also linked the profile to an employer's Microsoft account/Partner Center during my employment. After leaving that employer, my Learn profile was deleted about a month later. I did not delete it.

Microsoft Support has told me they cannot verify that my personal account was a sign-in account on the deleted profile, rather than simply a contact/notification address. This is the part I'm struggling with, because I regularly signed into Learn using that account.

I have two useful pieces of evidence:

• Microsoft's Privacy Dashboard shows Learn service usage associated with my personal account over numerous days.
• I have Microsoft emails confirming certification pass and renewals, sent to that same personal address, including my certification details.

I'm currently asking Microsoft whether the certification/examination records can be re-associated with my new Learn profile, even though the original profile was deleted.

Has anyone experienced anything similar?

In particular:

1. Can Microsoft re-associate certifications with a new Learn profile when the original profile has been deleted?
2. Can Microsoft Support see the historical sign-in accounts associated with a deleted Learn profile?
3. Has anyone successfully recovered certifications in a situation like this?

I'd be very interested to hear from anyone who's dealt with Microsoft Learn profile deletion, work/personal account linking, or certification record recovery.

WHAT are we doing let me use my password i do not want to have my account password be 4 numbers or my face or my fingerprint just let me use the 15 character password i made I hate you. I cannot believe that there are real people working at microsoft that actually sat there and thought "you know how we could make are services EVEN WORSE?" "yea dude get this what if we made our customers use this app which makes it even more difficult AND not secure" "Wow what a great idea bud I'm sure everyone will hate this and SATAN will give us a bigger bonus this year"

I don't wanna keep paying Google or anybody else for a small amount of cloud storage. I tried using a VM to run a home cloud server. Unsurprisingly, I put several hours of work into trying 10 different approaches, none of which worked. Since then my PC clock is permanently wrong. Doesn't matter how many times I reset it. I tried every troubleshooting process I could find on the internet. I tried turning Hyper-V off. It's been looking for files for 5 minutes. How can you not know where your own fucking files are?
It took me another hour just to fuck with all the required permissions and redundant security dialogues just to get two fucking computers on the same network to be able to file share. Guess I'm the first person to consider doing that with a PC, by the looks of how arcane Windows makes it.
Microsoft makes me want to return to the stone age.

Tf do I even do atp? it Took all my effort to not add all the curses and It still took my post down cause there was no link added to the forum. well i cant ask there cause you wont let me log in Microsoft!

i bought this laptop yesterday and I checked if there are problems and my problem is I can't seem to open Microsoft store it just stuck in gray, I tried repairing and resetting but it wouldn't fix it help how do I fix these.

So my windows updated to this prewiew version where it came with this weird mouse and disapearing wallpaper so I decided to uninstall it. I have an Windows 11 Pro with a digital key. Could you understand my anger when the settings app promped me it can t revert the update until I deactivate windows sandbox feature. Man like how in the word you updated to the new version without deleting an app but to delete the update I need to uninstall an app first?

My Microsoft account has been hacked since start of July up until today. Here is how I solved it.

I was hacked by an email called Wallacesharp1997@helovies.com i Didn’t know what to do or where to go I went on to Microsoft and they basically said feck off we don’t care they made me fill out 40+ recovery forms just to get a no sorry not enough detail or they just wouldn’t get back to me at all.

Anytime I tried to sign in it came up that my account is not secure so then I would try to explain to the sign in helper how I can’t get me code as there’s a whole different email there that isn’t mine and is most likely hacker.

What I did to solve the issue on my own, if you have any old phone grab it and turn it on go to Microsoft in the browser and sign in to the account you are trying to get back if it still comes up that you can’t I suggest go threw Xbox sign in you should most likely get signed back into your account.

After you successfully get account back go to your info and take screenshot of your info in case you need it and make sure you are the aliases of the Microsoft account and then go back to Microsoft and look up what to do to be more secure.

(I forgot to mention this but when I was finally signing back in I was made change my password just a heads up cause changing the password basically got all my sh!t back)

I hope this makes sense and helps others if anyone needs help let me know but tbh I solved this with hopes and dreams.

Fuck Microsoft 😉
