Malevolent Microsoft

 Here is the latest. W11 Cumulative Update KB5020044 performs the following truly evil deeds.

1. It takes 6 hours to install. You are thus non-productive for that time.

2. I crashes the system thus taking another 2 hours to reboot. This usually occurs at a peak time.

3. I use Task Manager, a small and old tool that allows one to see what MS SW is messing up the system by using memory, disk space, CPU time etc. Now the evil doers at MS have decided to up date this with a "black screen" Nice but the text is also black. Get it, black on black. Try and read it! NOT

4. Thus for the past 24 hours I have messed up a few of our systems with this useless change. BTW we just has one on 11/8/22. So why do we need another mess 22 days later! These true evil doers cannot seem to get anything stable. Just when you get settled they come up with some other moronic act.

BTW, MS has the standard ploy of making their customers debug their products! There should be a basic product that is safe and not changed. Let the changes be an upgrade for those who want the special effects. I don't.
