I legit don’t understand how people are even using windows anymore these days. For the first time in years i did a bare metal install because my dumbass wanted to play gta online, which now has anticheat, so i decided to dualboot. First attempt to install the installer completely shit itself and the screen went black, could not recover from it. Even a full reboot did not resume the install process, so i had to run the install all over again. Now that it’s finally installed i keep having weird issues with my rgb and fan control software randomly deciding to not autostart, and manually starting them does not work, or my fans just start spinning at max speed uncontrollably, and the only way to fix it is to do a reboot. Windows 11 has been out for years now right? It still feels like beta quality software, shit just keeps breaking, and then people have the gall to say windows just works lol.

I don’t think that this is the standard experience people have. I’ve installed Windows 11 more than a few times for family members and for my gaming pc, and while I find Windows insufferably annoying, black screens were not part of the experience.
weird issues with my rgb and fan control software
That’s the motherboard manufacturers, that’s not on Windows.
All motherboard manufacturer software plain sucks. MSI, Asus, Asrock, Gigabyte … the lot of them. Just don’t install that garbage.
I strongly suspect that the overwhelming majority of people who use Windows are going to use the OS preinstalled by an OEM, and won’t ever install Windows themselves.
Yeah… I had a USB stick that was fat32 formatted but didn’t have a drive letter assigned. So… it just doesn’t shw up.
Now biggie, right? Quickly add one in the disk manager… except I couldn’t because the “Snap-in feature wasn’t installed, please use Windows Update and try again” (It was the latest Windows 11). For assigning a drive letter. Of course it would do that if I freshly format the stick…
For my last install I had to remove either the SSDs or NVMEs (don’t remember which) or the installation would just fail. This was a ‘known’ issue! Fortunately haven’t had to boot it for months…

Yeah that’s true, i guess you don’t really realize how crappy something really is until you go out of your way to try something else.

That OS is a total mess.
Lmao jesus, for real? Fucking disk manager requires custom fiddling and updates from stock? Wow.
