It’s hard for me to say this but I actually miss older (NT based) Windows versions. They kind of worked, had a mostly consistent UI / UX and could even be customized a little bit.
Yesterday I had the Editor (the thing that used to me notepad) show me an account login notification, next to some weird copilot buttons that were not there the last time I used it. Best of all, the notification couldn’t be confirmed due to a bug and stayed open the whole time and covered about 1/8 of the screen…
On my super locked down work laptop windows does weird screen size stuff with windows shrinking or getting larger, especially when they’re moved between screens that have different scaling, sometimes task bar icons disappear or begin to flicker.
We used to have a Windows NT pc. It had 64MB of RAM iirc. I think we had it in a dual boot with windows 98 at one point? It was always crashing. There was a weird issue where if the pc crashed when it was shutting down, your profile got wiped. So every time we shut the pc down, we’d be like, “Please don’t crash, please don’t crash.”
At first they all blamed me for the wiped profiles, because I was the only one it didn’t happen to. Then they realised it was the shut down crash.
