There are more bugs reported. That makes all the difference.

People used to closed source everything are trained to eat shit and find a workaround.

Hi, Micro$oft Community Advisor Alicia here!

I'm sorry to hear that your software occasionally crashes. Trying some of these steps may help you:

  • Go to Windows Update and search for the latest drivers
  • Run 'sfc /scannow' in command prompt
  • Reinstall Windows

Please mark my post as "Answer" if this helped you solve your problem! Thank you!

Jfc every goddamn time I need to fix something on my work laptop this is the exact (and only) response I find

I told them I couldn't get the Microsoft store to open and they told me to open the Microsoft store, what a bunch of morons. Ended up just reinstalling even though it was probably just a library issue.

Duh, you just have to get the Microsoft Store app from the Microsoft Store app!

This is a good point and one I think explains this phenomenon well.

Linux users are more willing to report bugs because they actually get fixed. Especially when the bug report is extremely detailed.
