For personal computing, sure. For enterprise environment, eh not really.
The only (larger) enterprises that insist "we depend on Windows" are those with shitty corporate IT :)
And several governments from various countries and at various levels (municipal, state, federal)

With the amount of money corporations and governments have spent on Microsoft — the last decade alone — they could have filled the gaps in linux and the annual cost for ITSM would be significantly cheaper. Instead they've spent more and have grown far more dependent on proprietary software, they don't own or control, to manage their core business ops and data; the longer their dependence on SaaS, the more they'll pay.
Yep, Imagine how good the software would be oif we had all the governments and enterprise paying into open source instead of Microsofts pocket.

Yes corpo IT doesn't have the skills other than buy the easiest options and raise tickets to vendors.
Those people choose to live the techno-dystopia for the sheer convenience of it.
They will just copy whatever the rest of the industry does.

Hi. Microsoft employee here. That's happening because we don't give a shit and we are being replaced by folks from India
I hope you're having an amazing day! I am a windows fan and user, just like YOU! I will do my very best to help you solve your issue. I know you have had a bad experience and it must have been very hard for you. But rest assured, i will help you to the BEST of my ability!
Please try running the troubleshooter.
(troubleshooter doesn't fix anything)
Try reinstalling windows. Goodbye!
And then they fuck off and stop reponding.
This is every forum response on MS forums, it’s infuriating.
“I have super specific error code with super specific driver that was changed with super specific windows update.”
“Me too!”
“Same, here’s some more info from event viewer”
“Maybe try uninstalling the device”
“Uninstall my WiFi card?”
“Hi I’m bob from Microsoft you should run sfc scan now and that will fix it”
“That didn’t fix it”
“Ok here’s how to reinstall windows”
Won't someone please think of the investors...!
Also try SFC /scannow
And then try DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Scanhealth and DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth that'll get rid of the 9GB file for sure. If not, reinstall everything again and again and again.
Does it fix anything btw? I'm just wondering how it does work after all
If I remember correctly, it scans system files and replaces broken/corrupted ones. It can work on some issues, but it's not a fix all thing.

Wasn’t this reported as being a result of the preview build?
It was released. Did you read the article?
