F*** you Microsoft - YouTube by ThePrimeTime

The video criticizes Microsoft's recent Windows update (0:00) which has caused significant issues for users, including non-functional Windows buttons, black screens of death, and even Notepad being unavailable (0:10). The speaker sarcastically praises Microsoft for "making the world's best case for Linux" (0:50).

Key points of the video:Failed Update (0:09): The update, released on January 13th, 2026, for Windows 11 (KB5074109), has caused widespread application failures and system freezes (1:18).

Performance Degradation (1:50): The speaker highlights a stark contrast between the fast launch times of old Windows applications (e.g., Microsoft Word on a Pentium 400 MHz launching in fractions of a second) and the current state where the start menu freezes.

Unfixed Bugs (3:18): Despite multiple out-of-band updates, the critical bugs introduced by the January 13th update remain unfixed, with the only "recommendation" being to uninstall the update (3:26).

Leadership Failure (4:35): The speaker attributes these failures to a "massive failure of leadership" at Microsoft, criticizing their constant pursuit of new AI features (like putting AI in Notepad) instead of focusing on system stability and quality (4:51).
