Fresh hell..

"Bing Chat" bullshit delivered via Windows Update hung the Explorer load on a computer used for playout of music at a radio station. Just resulted in a black screen after the windows splash. THANKS!

Modern computing is such a terrible experience.
Windows is increasingly morphing into an advert delivery platform.

This disaster resulted in a support call from a business at 3.30am last night as one of their business critical machines was just doing a black screen on boot.
It's unforgivable are doing this and, in some setups, doing it in such a way the computer fails to start up. I don't want Bing Chat, don't install it via windows update automatically!

I get it's bad but I have never had any serious issues with Windows, I don't understand what I'm doing since everyone else seems to report it being completely broken.

@starfrost It really annoys me that they feel it ok to push this rather than it being opt in.
