So many people at work are having frustrating issues with Windows now.

It takes so fucking long to start up. Sure, you get a desktop and can open a program, but it just keeps locking up repeatedly for a good 20 minutes while whatever bloatware is running in the background during startup.

They cram OneDrive down your throat and it has constant issues.

They put so much shit in your way, in the name of "productivity" it makes your actual productivity worse.

FUCK COPILOT.

Oh man, I remember marveling at BeOS in the day and for a brief moment in time when SSDs first hit the scene you could have a credibly fast Windows boot.... Nowadays it's worse than ever despite super fast storage, fastest CPUs, and gobs of RAM...

I thought it was just me, it's so fucking "bulky" and slow on my work computer. Specs are fine on the laptop, windows 11 is just trash even without bringing up what it's lacking and difficult to navigate.

And I know my way around windows very well, I can do nearly all my tasks with just a keyboard, don't even need a mouse for the gui.

It's the one drive cramming that really gets me, well also changing the right click context menu to hide cut and paste, wtf.

But seriously, not letting you move the Onedrive pin down the hotlinks sidebar out of the way? Extremely annoying.

Kill it in the registry.
