      Kind of a wide variety of things that varies from person to person in often absurd ways – broken in ways I’ve never seen Macs or Linux systems be, nor even Windows 10 and older.

      • Explorer taking ~20-30 seconds to open a new window (fine once it’s open, until you want another window) (I’ve only suffered this on my work laptop for some reason)
      • The “home” view being blank save for a weird expansion panel that’s empty – sometimes this can be solved by resetting ALL folder views in Explorer settings, other times it just stays broken after and randomly works later (I’ve repeatedly suffered this)
      • Start menu being empty or not showing new additions to it, and pinning anything to start that wasn’t from right-clicking anything found in it just not pinning for ??? amounts of time (both)
      • Randomly muting all audio input devices (home)

      And that’s just my personal experiences. The ones I’ve seen others deal with is much weirder.

      Honestly I’m buying more into the idea of how ostree distros work; Windows is like a very broken version of that anymore.

      The article is about a XAML bug, which affects a lot of core components, when used in a corporate setting.

      At work I’ve had issues with the Start Bar not showing any/most programs and centering the one program that does show up (even though I have it left aligned). Then when I mouse over it, it’ll try to move to where it should be causing it to jump around and be unclickable.

      I’ve also had the file explorer just stop working entirely.

      This is on a pretty powerful dev laptop, so it’s not lack of resources.

      That being said I’ve never heard of anyone else having that issue so it seems rare.
