Hi. Microsoft employee here. That’s happening because we don’t give a shit and we are being replaced by folks from India
I hope you’re having an amazing day! I am a windows fan and user, just like YOU! I will do my very best to help you solve your issue. I know you have had a bad experience and it must have been very hard for you. But rest assured, i will help you to the BEST of my ability!
Please try running the troubleshooter.
(troubleshooter doesn’t fix anything)
Try reinstalling windows. Goodbye!
And then they fuck off and stop reponding.
This is every forum response on MS forums, it’s infuriating.
“I have super specific error code with super specific driver that was changed with super specific windows update.”
“Me too!”
“Same, here’s some more info from event viewer”
“Maybe try uninstalling the device”
“Uninstall my WiFi card?”
“Hi I’m bob from Microsoft you should run sfc scan now and that will fix it”
“That didn’t fix it”
“Ok here’s how to reinstall windows”
It should fix system files that are not in expected state (I assume corruption, missing, wrong permissions etc.). Maybe it was more useful in the past, but after trying it couple times around 8 years ago and never seeing any benefit, I have never thought of using it since.
My colleague said it fixed some random issue once or twice after he was out of ideas.
If system is truly messed up, it’s often faster and more reliable to just reinstall it, especially if you do not have much custom config.
As former MSFT employee who just got replaced by India… I’m kind of relieved I’m gone. Working for them felt like working for the bad guys
As someone working in the Microsoft ecosystem at an MSP, we seriously wonder what the fuck goes on over there. We’re supposed to defend everything y’all do which is getting really hard to justify without sounding like idiots.
In the event this is a legitimate admission of intent, here mate. I hope you can find peace for your troubled mind.
