    Windows 10 once had the brilliant idea of de-installing the AMD graphics drivers and replacing it with its own while I was playing a game.

    Best AMD can do is show you a message box, it’s been going on for years and years and Microsoft doesn’t look willing to fix their shit. It’s possible to tell windows update to not overwrite “third-party” drivers, but only for all devices, not specific ones. Meanwhile it shouldn’t be doing that shit in the first place.

    Windows install once barfed a rescue partition on a disk that it thought was empty, even though I had specifically told it to install to a completely different disk. Ever since then I unhook all drives that aren’t the install drives before launching the thing.

    The overall theme with windows is that if it works, it works, if it doesn’t, you’re fucked. And just a centimetre off the beaten path nope, it doesn’t work.
