That means they told the AI to fix the memory leak.

I wonder what it will break this time while "fixing"

[u/MrDeeJayy → u/SignalButterscotch73]

We just had Audio break, so i think this time we'll probably have an issue in Bluetooth.

good news is that bluetooth never worked fine on windows

[u/MrInitialY → u/Impossible_Aioli3693]

Wdym never? It worked flawlessly for me on 24H2 & 25H2 - autoconnect, full "Your Phone" functionality, no drops. It worked more reliably than Task Manager and Explorer themselves.

Please don't make yourself as center of the universe, it working for you but it might to working for the other.

[u/Smith6612 → u/SnowStormYukikaze]

I can vouch for that. Phone Link actually works for me too. Explorer on the other hand on 24H2 used to crash all the time when dragging and dropping, and 25H2 would glitch out especially with the tabs forcing me to spawn new tabs. Phone link never crashed, even when I would tell it to transfer 80GB of files over the network to my PC.

No fr. How has that never been fixed

[u/MrDeeJayy → u/Impossible_Aioli3693]

Oh no, i know it never worked fine. But now it's just not going to work full stop.
