I just want to say that windows troubleshooting is unbelievably frustrating and needlessly complicated.

They constantly point you to tools that run but don’t fix the issue then redirect you to forums that tell you to run the tool.

Then you search the problem and find posts telling you to install a random 3rd party tool to fix the problem. No I’m not installing a random non open source tool to run with admin privileges that would be unbelievably stupid.

Also I’m bombarded with system tray notifications because programs on windows think its ok to serve the user an ad via system tray. I expected better from malware bytes but I expected exactly this from Adobe and one drive.

Another thing is that the windows forum advice is really bad like really bad. It doesn’t teach the user anything about problem and instead gives them a solution that will work but might break other things.

I’m not a noob to windows either I’ve used it for 20 years at least. I think after moving to Linux I’ve realized how simple things can be.
