Sounds about right for M$ They cannot just let you know once, they let you know ALL THE TIMES

Stupid Windows

I hate that screen, it keeps enabling itself on my PC even after I disable it in the Control Panel!

Back in the day

I remember 2 situations at work when this happened,

Once we were trialing a new helpdesk system would send an acknowledgement upon a new ticket getting generated, which included the originating server for the server error notification, to which the server dutifully replied that the email address for the server didn't exist (Lotus Notes was fun for that), and the helpdesk said Oh new ticket, and sent a reply back.......

The other was an email accidentally sent to all users who had open helpdesk tickets, with the recipients in the TO field, not the BCC field, so of course people started hitting Reply to All, you can guess what happened then.

WTF?

Epic Dodgey

The biggest problem is that the notification email about this looks almost exactly like a Phishing email! Complete with link to 'Go to the Alert Center'

There was no WAY I was going to click that link......

To have one floppy failure is unlucky. To have 20 implies evil magic or a very silly user

The next departure leaves in... have you thought about a Microsoft 365 subscription?

Re: Not just bus stops

I followed the certified M$ instructions on how to get rid of that setup screen.....didn't work (as expected)

And of course it blocks everything!

Don't all Govt' contracts work like that?

Don't all Government contracts work to the extent that 'I don't like them, make sure they fail' is a valid statement from the guy (in theory) on top?

Re: On the same day you post your article

That was a whole lot of nothing and a significant Percentage of the 'article' was all about either 'recap' or 'cooling'.......Joy
