Welcome to /c/SoftwareGore!


This is a community where you can poke fun at nasty software. This community is your go-to destination to look at the most cringe-worthy and facepalm-inducing moments of software gone wrong. Whether it's a user interface that defies all logic, a crash that leaves you in disbelief, silly bugs or glitches that make you go crazy, or an error message that feels like it was written by an unpaid intern, this is the place to see them all!

I've had some weird bugs with the taskbar, but this is a new one! I can only imagine how annoying it would be for this to happen

Another weird bug: on your secondary monitor you can hover your mouse over where the clock, notifications, and show desktop button would be, and hover markers appear but are unclickable. It's been like this since windows 11 released

I assume they also removed the feature that allows you to resize the taskbar to half the height of your display.

I hate what they did with the clock.

For one, on 10 you could click it to display seconds when needed. No longer an option on 11, clicking only shows the calendar. You have to enable seconds in the taskbar itself, which 11 warns you will increase power usage.

Secondly, it's literally only clickable now on the primary monitor.

Just a basic feature made significantly worse for no reason except to be different.

Microsoft doesn't make software for people, they make software for OEMs. Microsoft doesn't need to appeal to users or even make good software, they just need to sell software to companies.

The taskbar in windows 11 bothers me too much.

If it's not ready leave the windows 10 one until it's ready.

They have over 100k software engineers, it should be impossible that they need this much time to fix it.

I can't believe that they launched without drag and drop support and they took years to add it back. Same for "do not combine icons" settings. Go to watch windows 95 source code if you forgot how drag and drop worked...

Now I wonder how many years need to pass to fix that "restore explorer windows at login" setting which was broken last year when they introduced tabbed explorer

That's why I installed this on my work laptop: https://github.com/valinet/ExplorerPatcher

I heard you got a fat clock.

For all the complaints Linux gets from non users these people are super tolerant of Windows glitches that they just accept.

Yeah sure Linux has its own too.

"I'm just used to Windows"

"My brother in Christ, you need help to do anything other than use a browser, you're not 'used to Windows' at all".

[–] MumboJumbo@lemmy.world 13 points 17 hours ago

That's a big time problem

[–] originalucifer@moist.catsweat.com 14 points 19 hours ago

they dont expect, they force. its not like most people using their crap have much of a choice.

[–] wander1236@sh.itjust.works 8 points 18 hours ago

W I D E clock is a selling point tbh

[–] severalkittens@ani.social 6 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Also can't even let me put it on top

[–] Moonrise2473@feddit.it 1 points 14 hours ago

Are you expecting feature parity with windows me?

[–] PixeIOrange@lemmy.world 5 points 19 hours ago

Is not bug, is feature.

[–] ulterno@programming.dev 1 points 13 hours ago

They are thinking about the future, with a 50 digit year.
Also, this way, you don't need to resize it when you eventually want it to show time in femtoseconds.
