Microsoft is losing Builders fast. They’re switching to MacOS and Linux. The biggest pull keeping people on Windows, outside of shear inertia, is content creation and gaming. However, even these are falling to Linux.

Without Builders, you don’t have software, and without software, you don’t have users. This is why Microsoft needs Windows Lite.

    Nah, Windows is getting terrible. I had to delete AI.exe and aimgr.DLL to get performance back in the office suite. Updates try to out it back, and I know as soon as its deployed because everything runs like crap. And there’s Onedrive that locks up the system while it syncs a newly written local PC file to the cloud. Like it should immediately write local, and sync in the background but it waits for the commit back from one drive

      My armchair diag is that you’re causing your own issues by doing things the wrong way. Disable it via policy not by deleting random files. How could onedrive lock a computer up syncing a file that doesnt even make any sense since it does write it local and sync in the background. It sounds like you were trying to save to a network folder or sharepoint maybe.

        I couldn’t find a policy for the ai. Exe, but when it’s deleted the PC runs fine.

        No on the network, we don’t have typical network shares.

        It’s my C drive, and file explorer locks up until sync has happened. Because I see the spinning sync icons, as soon as sync has happened to one drive the file is accessible and apo saving it gets a commit back that it happened and is functional again. These are some of the problems, but there are tons more.
