I wish they release a tool for their system to work properly. Like connecting to Bluetooth headphones or no full cpu load out of nowhere.
Those are premium windows 14 features.
That “system interrupts” is extremely important.
It blows my mind that system file checker isn’t just a scheduled task that works during idle time. Same with DISM.
You don’t need to check fs with NTFS.
You can easily schedule it yourself but I wouldn’t. I have used sfc /scannow about 10 times. It did fix an issue once - a VM repeatedly locking up doing Windows updates.
Yeah even as a technician that’s one I run on the off chance that it actually does something.
Which, sometimes it does, just often enough that I wouldn’t call it useless.
no full cpu load out of nowhere.
Ah sudden background updates, how I hate them.
My Bluetooth headphones work just fine. Except every time the connect the automatically set the volume to 100%.
The bug bash quests can be found in the Windows Feedback Hub, and partaking in the bug bash often concludes with a badge in the Feedback Hub that acknowledges your participation.
Imagine doing free QA for a multibillion dollar corporation. I hate Microsoft so much.
No one is forcing you. Actually, you need to jump through many hoops to get into the program. And Microsoft tends to pay nice rewards to people who find critical issues.
So a bug bounty that pays significantly less
Cant put a price on a badge though!
If I get that badge, can I hide it? (On 𝕏 I can)
Can’t blame them if people after willing to do it
Watch me. Exploiting people is wrong, even if they’re idiots.
Calm down, no one’s getting exploited. Many people like trying out new features that aren’t available yet for stable releases.
It’s not exploitation if people want to do it

How do you know someone uses Linux?
They’ll tell you.
I use arch btw.
I use Debian BTW

I strongly prefer to just turn my computer on, play games or work and not deal with hardware and software compatibility issues and learn a new OS
LOL, that’s why I use Linux.
- just turn the computer on and wait for the updates to finish
I use windows btw
…and just turn the computer off and wait for the updates to finish.

Like 90% of the internet is running on Linux. If being anywhere in the tech world is something you’re interested in then it would behoove you to learn it. But if all you’re interested in is the gaming then by all means rub the Cheeto dust on your shirt and yell for your mom upstairs to get you another bag.
Fun fact: I’ve been using Mint on my home computer for over a decade. I’ve distro hopped a little bit but Mint is just rock solid reliable. It’s almost perfect.
Are those “hidden features” just more ads?
CIA Target Mode as well probably.
Actually it uncovers the fact that space cadet pinball was actually a covert mind control and indoctrination tool developed by the NSA.
Well then we’re all screwed because who didn’t play the shit out of that?
Noone I’d trust.

I KNEW IT
So what are the hidden features? The article doesn’t say and I scrolled through all the comments and nothing popped out at me other than a bunch of comments of people bashing windows and sucking their own dicks over Linux?
This is what i came for, i wanted to know what these features are. Thanks for saving me a click
Usual info-free article with clickbait headline. Tinfoil-heads will call it a “troll / honey-pot”, designed to attract and identify ‘troublemakers’.
And from that comment section, it’s working.
Yeah. It’s called windows 10.
I think you’re misremembering. It’s called Windows 7.
Jesus Christ, just reading about Microsoft developing something called Moments made me nope out of that article.
Obv there’s worse things in this world, but goddamn it if Microsoft isn’t reclaiming its crown slowly. I think people forget/zoomers never knew, but Microsoft was once, rightly, one of the most hated corporations on earth. They were taken to court, in the United States!, for monopolistic practices. You gotta be doing some insaaaaane shit to get hit with that type of case in the US post-Reagan administration.
Microsoft’s name was basically equivalent to dogshit from the mid-90s until maybe the mid 2000s. Maybe 2010? Hard to put a finger on it. Windows 7 certainly did a lot to get people to calm down from a steady hate-boner.
I just wish, I fucking WISH, that if MS is gonna do this weird “make your pc your phone too! Dur hrr!” shit that they’d offer a Windows Lite ™️ edition where you can opt out of the little stupid assistant thing. No, Clippy, I don’t need help, fuck you very much. Let me opt out completely, without having to fuck with reg editor and CLI, from all types of ads, tracking, “offers for free shit,” all that shit. Just provide a barebones OS, let me add the programs I want, stop popping up telling me the .exe is a trojan sent to murder my dog just because you want me to download shit from your precious proprietary store, just stop all that shit. Something akin to Windows XP or Windows 7 type era. Neither OS was perfect and certainly many features in modern OSes are nice, but the simplicity found in them just because at the time they kind of HAD to be simple in order to function, is something I’d love for MS (and Apple too for that matter) to embrace.
But since none of that will happen, the next best thing I can hope is developers start making more and more programs run natively on Linux distro. Linux has come very far in my lifetime and I’m honestly excited that I can now use Linux basically for everything and only keep Windows installed as dual boot for a few specific tasks. I just hope it keeps growing in coming years. Hopefully demand from gamers for the steam deck and such drives more and more support for Linux. I can you one thing though… if my Windows updated and tells me “set up Moments! Click here!” I’m nuking that shit from orbit immediately. I don’t care what it does, I will never use any of that shit Microsoft packs into Windows. Probably sounds grump old man or whatever, but I just refuse. Stop adding dogshit no one asked for! This goes for basically all devs! Rant over, but I’m still pissed!
You gotta be doing some insaaaaane shit to get hit with that type of case in the US post-Reagan administration.
Yeah, they bundled a web browser with their operating system! Insaaaaaane!
Sounds like windows isn’t for you so why are you using it lmfao fucking Americans and their mental health issues 😭
I just want it to stop self-destructing every two hours when I’m running it as a VM under Linux.
Maybe that’s one of the features you can enable.
Wait, what? What happens when you hit the two hour mark? I’d it like one of the router simulators that forces a reboot?
BSOD for whatever reason. Doesn’t matter, I can resume what I was doing pretty quickly, but it is mildly inconvenient.
The biggest thing I want is to just move the task bar to the top of the screen. I can’t use my finger on my Surface tablet unless I remove the keyboard. Such idiocy…
I don’t have W11. I have had my taskbar at the top of my screen since the 90s. W11 doesn’t allow this ?
My favourite is when I’m trying to click a notification tray thing and shit like teams messages keep popping up on top. Who the hell designed it so notifications come up on top of tray pop ups? So fucking stupid.
This angers me so, so much and every messenger app does it.
Dude right??? I’ve been losing my fucking mind. My home computer, work computer 2, and work computer VM are all top bar mounted. Work computer 1 for upgraded to 11 and it’s pissing me off. Every week I check for a way to change it back.
I think side is the best. When almost all monitors are wider than they are tall it makes more sense to put it on the short edge to use up less space.
You can do this with TaskbarX
Nice try, Microsoft, trying to get people to use Windows 11. Just focus on fixing Windows 12 and cut your losses.
Does it make Windows 11 not total dogshit?
Oh wait, no, it’s still Windows 11.
Back by popular demand! Right click on task bar for task manager!
But none of the other stuff. Thanks, Microsoft.
Regression of features = future.
It says that the tool is being shared around online but I can’t find it, anyone know where to get it? Just curious is all.
They really think ppl give ah fuck?
Can I kill efficiency mode and get Chrome working again?
using chrome in 2017 was embarrassing. using chrome in 2023 is just sad.
Why use chrome when edge is just better
Or, use Firefox 😈
Maybe he prefers to hand over his data to Google rather than Microsoft.
Well that’s a sentence I never expected to hear
You’ll get a lot of hate here for saying it, but you’re not entirely wrong. When they offered free GPT to people running edge I went ahead and loaded it out with my normal compliment of plugins to try it as a secondary browser.
I’m not exactly sure what all they did to it, but it’s not just Chrome with the different skin It’s notably faster and lighter on the memory footprint.
The reason why I’m not willing to convert to them completely as I don’t trust Microsoft with all my data. I’m already keeping as much telemetry from them as I can.
These days I float between Firefox and Brave. Firefox isn’t likely to sell my data, and Brave will sell my data but their anti-fingerprinting is pretty solid so they’re at least not just letting everyone track me for free.
