KB5077181 was released about a month ago as part of the February Patch Tuesday rollout. When the update first arrived, users reported a wide range of problems, including boot loops, login errors, and installation issues.
Microsoft has now acknowledged another problem linked to the same update. Some affected users see the message “C:\ is not accessible – Access denied” when trying to open the system drive.
How dare you have a factual, not sensationalized headline for anything concerning Microsoft. Let me fix this for you:
Microsoft is eliminating the C drive in the latest version of Windows, leaving only OneDrive for users to store their files.
🤬
I like how, once AI is invented, there is never a problem that isn’t AI related.
Microsoft made broken shit before AI, it isn’t like they suddenly lost that capability once AI was invented.
*Microslop
Let’s start calling it what it is
I use Linux exclusively, my family’s laptops are all Linux, I self-host, etc. I’m no Microsoft fanboy, so believe me when I tell you…
…that is a stupid name and anyone using it sound like a clown.
AI’s use in industry is destructive to knowledge workers, the massive dump of capital in the computer hardware markets have caused massive disruption in secondary markets and the coming market crash will affect everyone in the world. There are plenty of easy arguments to be made against using AI.
Going into a comment section and posting “Well, acktually, you mean MicroSLOP!” does none of that. It’s performative, not substantive.
AI enables them to automate the generation of shitty code for broken systems even more efficiently
But there weren’t that many bugs.
That seems like an easy statement to prove. How many bugs were there before AI vs after?
I may be wrong, but I would guess that you haven’t seen any data to back up your statement and you’re basing it on your perception based on social media posts.
You see a lot of clickbait articles where the author highlights a specific patch note or vulnerability and tries to tie that to AI. They’re doing that to earn revenue because anti-AI posts get traffic… they’re not trying to objectively inform you about the rate of bugs in Microsoft’s products. Your perception is being skewed by selection bias.
It’s more like the old adage but extended: “To err is human, to really foul things up you need a computer, but to make an unbelievable mess you need an AI.”
That is certainly true and may very well be the case here.
It could also be the case that a human developer forgot to bounds check an array and iterated out of bounds, corrupting some important kernel variable. We won’t know unless we get a postmortem.
Sounds like they let AI touch it
What would happen if you trained an AI entirely and solely on Microslop’s knowledge base?
It would be stuck on thousands of missing articles and unable to go back due to a bunch of redirects, like a sketchy page from the 90s.
So … just as good as any other AI.
As usual, the bug only affects a tiny subset of hardware and lemmy is pretending every windows computer got bricked
its not about the number of effected devices/people. Its about it demonstrating the bigger more structural problems getting more obvious every time one of these happen.
This should be yet another opportunity for Windows refugees to come to the Kingdom of Torvalds.
Bunch braindead vibe coders at fault I bet
What a sloppy OS they produced!
No longer do you have A: as a floppy drive, now it’s C: as a sloppy drive
Never again, Windows.
Security to some level is important, but whatever idiot at msft sold exec on “user access control” as a standard service really effed windows hard. Security types have a role in the world, but a lot of them are authoritarian idiots. One of those idiots wrote this patch, and msft was so used to UAC problems in everything, they just let it on through during testing.
Microsoft is a corporation that turns …
*Microslop
Install Linux. Problem Solved.
Hopefully this doesn’t give Microslop executives the idea of turning it into a feature to force their users to save their files onto OneDrive
They’re already doing that by partnering with the likes of HP who keep pushing “1TB” Laptops - 128GB eMMC + 1TB OneDrive for a year.
that is fucking filthy.
They are marketed this way? Holy fraudulent ads Batman, I would never want to work at technical support for an OEM who does this, the phone lines will start glowing a bright orange after a year!
Holy fraudulent ads Batman
Eh, as long as the laptops break within one year, it’s not fraud.
Well after a year, the pc you bought is out of warranty, so for us to help you resolve this, I would kindly ask for your credit card information
You don’t need
C:\. All your data should be in the 365 cloud anyway. Storing files locally inC:\leads to antipatterns like not paying Microsoft for 365 access (a.k.a “Software Piracy”)Clearly the fix is boot in Linux
