  As tech support this has made my job a bit more annoying.

  It’s time to ditch Windows and all move to macOS or (even better) Linux

    MacOS has different flaws but has major flaws nonetheless. Linux is the one that truly lets you own your computer, you decide everything.

      I agree, I use Linux. But “normal people” aren’t able to install an operating system, and they can’t easily go to the shop and buy a Linux computer. They can buy a mac though. Still better than nothing.

        For the money you save by buying similarly good hardware that isn’t from apple you can pay someone to install an OS

  If you have adapted to it, rejoice! They are changing it back. Copilot will be a button beside Start button now.

  I believe Win + D will do the same as that missing button.

  Yea it annoys me too, you can switch it back, but I can’t do that every time I’m working on someone’s computer.

  I went with a Mac for my last work computer refresh. Had Windows before that. Don’t have a Linux option.
