    Thats a good feature but it kind of reads like ai slop and allows windows to blame the users hardware for issues.

    The answer is always going to be, “Because you’re running the incredibly bloated Windows operating system.”

    This existed briefly, but was quickly removed because big box retailers complained that people were looking at the real stats instead of big numbers in their ads.

    Windows 11 will soon let you know why your PC hardware Windows 11 sucks.

      Not really even accurate though. It’s more like “buy a new car”.

        It would be really nice if upgrading the engine was something the average person could just do. That’s feasible on EVs, but I’m guessing manufacturers and regulators block it.

      It’s already happening, not this aggressive. My kia vehicle for example, it will display a prompt screen on the dashboard. Telling me about how I have X days of service left. It is telling me, indirectly, that I need to change my oil or do something when I looked up what it was.

        That’s a pretty bog-standard feature though… My 2008 Toyota has a maintenance reminder light that pops on every 5000 miles.

          It’s supposed to do that though, just like any other vehicle notification. That’s why they install all of those light indicators. Check Engine. Low Fuel. All of those things.

          Not a screen that pops up telling you specifically that you have some days left to service your vehicle. Especially in all places, where you start up your vehicle, where your MPH is measured .etc

    Windows 11 won’t let me know anything. Ever since I was able to get Final Fantasy XIV to run on my Debian laptop, I have not had Windows on any of my computers.

        Ms will be paid handsomely by intel and nvidia to push their hardware and ignore competition. Kinda like intel has always done make their cpus seem and benchmark better.

        Pretty narrow vision. Microsoft can suggest hardware for you and charge the seller for the advert.

        Wow your chrome is running really slow, try buying new Corsair ddr5 ram available now on amazon

        They sell bogus certification for others hardware though.

        They used to, not relevant today. Sorry.

            Looks like my info is pretty out of date, they stopped charging a long time ago.

    But it can’t even give me a descriptive error message as to why it won’t accept my password change. Huh.

    (Minimum password age, really?)

        Now that you mention it, yes. I’d forgotten because I barely used Vista. I ran it as a dual boot with XP and wound up staying on XP most of the time. Didn’t really switch over till 7.

    Just install UBUNTU, it will make your 10 year old machine run like it’s brand new because the OS doesn’t suck and isn’t Windows 98 with code piled on top of it.

      That’s unfair. It’s Windows NT with code piled on top. Also, Linux Mint may be an easier transition for Windows users.

      Ubuntu has been in quite its own mess and having an identity crisis now.

      Unfortunately Windows 11 is the only OS to actually implement HDR properly. For that reason alone I still dual boot it with Arch.
