winget install -e --id Notepad++.Notepad++funny thing, this was when terminal went down in just the same way notepad did!!
You need Microsoft store to access the terminal now?
Maybe try
windows+r->cmd, or right click the start menu -> terminalIf that doesn’t work go install windows 10 or Linux or go buy a mac 😅
I mean, the Terminal is basically just a mixture of the classic Command Prompt and the new Power shell, just packaged as a Microsoft Store app. So you can just use Powershell instead for most cases.
Still, screw the Microsoft Store App environment. It makes updating programs just that much more difficult than it needs to be.
I was in a chatroom and joked about them adding “AI” to notepad. Someone in the room was like “wtf did they seriously?!” and I said “oh no, I don’t use Windows 11 but there’s no way lawl”
Someone else sent a screenshot of their fucking AI in notepad
They added AI to Paint, too.
What does it do there? Ai content aware fill like in photoshop?
Yes. Also, selecting an object in an image, or using a prompt to edit your drawing.
Oh eeeuw. That aint paint boys haha
pAIn
Yeah, Microsoft does some wild shit. Nothing they do surprises me at this point. I still remember how when the WWW was starting to get really big, some MS engineers decided to turn their web browser into the Windows file manager.
You could open the file manager, enter a URL instead of a local path, and suddenly it’s a web browser. I just thought it was a neat trick back then. It’s only in retrospect that I realise how dumb it is.
Tbh, imo its a good user feature to have. Makes accessing the internet less big and less of a hurdle for people to learn to use the net. Something that welcome/needed then.
However, from a technical standpoint its utter hell to maintain, keep safe/secure and was at that point a nono haha
( i say at that point, because now webviews are bloody everywhere )
Oddly enough, the reverse isn’t bad. It makes sense to use a webbrowser to open HTML files, even if those are saved on your harddrive.
You can use the ai to write a notepad without ai
From “My PC” to “This PC”.
Boutta rip the P out of PC soon. “Our computer”
“My virtual cores”
“My session”
The only windows machine I currently use is my work machine.
It belongs to my employer so renaming “My PC” is accurate
WHAT !!?? You have a button to copy the error message, this feature is asked since Windows XP, they took their time.
Useless feature. Searching for any error will lead you to Microsoft’s support forums, where a so-called MVP told someone with the same problem as you to run
sfc /scannowthen closed the thread as resolved.that, or what’s been happening more recently is it links to an article on the official Microsoft support page but it’s been archived because they’re moving to some new site, and there is no link to the new site’s content that supercedes the dead link
It has always been possible to press CTRL+C when error dialog is active, that should copy the text of entire dialog including error message
Nani the fuck??
Why didn’t it say so anywhere and why couldn’t you select text in the dialog?
Because fuck you that’s why (/s)
And they say terminal is complicated because you have to learn the options and usage.
Fuckin’ windows store apps… giant unpatchable buggy mess…
I still have record of my reaction when I learned Windows Media Player had paid DLC on Windows 10. I made a video about it.
I literally can not fucking wait for them to start charging microtransactions for items under the “accessories” menu, like games, or tools like the calculator and notepad. M$ has been the best advertiser for Linux this past decade, and they’re only getting better at advertising it, I know that’s coming at some point.
Buy ten “Undo’s” for just
$4.99$2.99!Just imagine separating bored office staff the world over from Solitaire, behind even a modest 99c paywall and a moderate barrier to entry like “having to install a third-party solitaire application” if they wanted it for free.
People would be calling for Nadella to be hung like Mussolini within weeks. It’s gonna be a good fun shitshow, mark my words.
There is already a subscription for no ads in solitaire IIRC…
There are ads in Windows Solitaire now? Good lord. Goes to show how long it’s been since I’ve used Windows.
I feel gratuitously attacked.
I have my own server running in the cloud to get my wallpapers.
Ok I think I’m the problem lol
I’d love more problems like you in this world
In the mean time, shameless plug
https://www.amazingdomain.net/#/dir
It has fresh images every day as long as people post in the listed Reddit/fediverse/Pinterest/etc (this code is over 10yo ok).
I use a Gnome extension to get daily wallpapers (from Bing, lol), then curate them to my liking.
That would be cool for me to look and change the data source
Bad news is that I’m not going to use Linux on a daily basis within a week. After a streak of 8 year using daily for work, my current company is shutting down systems access to Linux and I haven’t figured out how to get browser access to these tools. Proxing is not enough, because a nasty chrome enterprise extension does all the checks in the os that runs the browser. And Wayland remote browser sucks. I’m really really really sad. 😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔
if you want free operating system, try using linux instead of using pirated microslop
microsoft offers the os for free*
*free if you dont value your time, its so much harder to install than linux
I googled the code and it’s funnier.
First search result is xbox live instead of the microsoft link.
And then the correct link is just comments going “I have the problem too.” The popular SOLUTION is to uninstall the alienware command center.
BUT before you that, error message box seems to not close? So you have to open up in task manager and terminate anything with “AWCC” in its name.
Then you can finally uninstall the alienware command center, through the windows settings…
I change my wallpaper pretty much exactly the same way I used to do it in Windows though (except KDE gives me more options for slideshows, etc)?
Notepad was the final straw that made me switch
If you build makethe Win11 ISO using Rufus instead of Microsoft’s own Media Creation Tool, you have options to prevent this bullshit from happening.
I’ve been using Win11 with an offline account for years, and everything works as it should, even the MS Store. I never have to deal with Microsoft Account bullshit ever.
I mean, if you’re going that far you might as well start considering just leaving Microsoft’s bullshit OS entirely
Rufus for making the USB, and then Immediately Chris Titus Win Util it to clean up the rest of the trash.

Yes, yes… Just use Linux. I know. But my career is Windows based so driving it at home keeps me dialed in.
Throw the MASSGRAVE software in there too. Afaik they’re safe and work incredibly.
the suggestion that you should maybe write down an eight digit hex string “in case you need it” is just adding insult to injury. i guess anything less than a 32bit space for error codes would be insufficient
I love to shit on Microsoft as much as the next lemming, but this error message is way out of context. This was a bug in the January quality update (quality lol), and has been addressed.
Windows doesn’t require you to sign into the MS store to use notepad or paint.
Source: end user compute engineer who had to deal with this shit.
Okay but why was there functionality in place for this to break in the first place? Notepad shouldn’t need the store involved at all and why are they pushing our bugs like this that should be caught in testing.
Because enterprise is Microslop’s real customer, and the consumer is the QA now.
Windows 11: now in Early Access! Full release expected after Windows 12 has been in early access for 12-24 months.
Oh, I know. The point was that the comment I responded to isn’t a valid excuse.
I’m not saying it’s a valid excuse, and I’m certainly not jumping to defend Microsoft. All I’m saying is the screenshot/post is misleading.
My guess? Because they fired a shitload of engineers and are having the remaining ones pick up the slack with AI vibe coding. They are pushing slop to prod and breaking shit left and right because they need to prove that destroying the world with AI data centers is worth it.
Spoiler altert: it’s not. Having well trained and talented engineers wite the code works better.
Oh good that’s much better, at first I thought they were requiring notepad to be online, but they’re just ruining the OS and world with vibe coded slop? Well that’s fine!
It happened to me while trying to use the shipping tool, an hour before a presentation.
Fortunately I was able to record the screen and extract a frame as a still.
“quality update”
