Nåhmenaltså. Jeg har en #Windows11 kørende på en laptop, der sådan set er købt til formålet (en billig Asus med Windows 11 præinstalleret). Den bruges mest til at spille Minecraft med børnene på, og prøve at blive en smule klogere på Windows 11, nu da Windows 10 når 'end of support' til oktober. Og virker egentligt fint til formålene. Men! Nu har jeg opdaget noget virkeligt dumt ved Windows 11!

Windows 11 build 26100.3902 breaks the recovery environment

A new Windows Insider build has been released for Windows 11 build 26100.3902 under the knowledge base number KB5055627. It introduced some new features, such as seamless access to your connected phone right from your PC using the Phone Link feature. It also brought the controversial Microsoft Recall feature, which was infamous due to privacy concerns.

At the end of the changelogs from the official release announcement, there is only one known issue. Unfortunately, it’s a major issue revolving around the recovery environment, the Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE). The official blog says:

After installing this update, Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE) may not work, and you may not be able to use the “Fix problems using Windows Update” option under Settings > Recovery. These issues will be fixed in another update soon.

WinRE is a separate environment from the full Windows installation that allows you to recover your computer from system failures using various tools, such as the command prompt and an option to restore your PC to an earlier point. As described earlier, you may not be able to use the “Fix problems using Windows Update” option, should your computer experience problems.

Microsoft has, however, promised that they’re going to fix the issues soon.

Auf der Arbeit muss ich leider #Windows11 nutzen, bis auf Tabs im #WindowsExplorer sind mir kaum Verbesserungen aufgefallen. Und die generelle Performance ist einfach erbärmlich. Das Zwangs-Upgrade ist insgesamt einfach ne Frechheit. Meine Schwester konnte ich überzeugen auf #Manjaro umzusteigen, bis auf anfängliches Fremdeln mit #Gimp, kaum Beschwerden 🐧 ✊ Dank #AUR bekommt man für so gut wie jeden Drucker Treiber, Manjaro macht einen soliden Eindruck👍

This is partly why, if you have the misfortune of owning (or being given for work) a Windows laptop, there's a 50/50 chance of opening the lid to discover a flat battery.

The question is, do you feel lucky, punk?! 🤣 #windows11
