yes MS kind of sucks.
What Jsop said.
Has anyone ever been able to get thru and talk to MS? I mean in all seriousness.
Other comments in queue. For those that use Linux and find LibreOffice missing some things. Try WPS office. It solved many of the issues that I had with some microsoft integration for excel spreadsheets. WPS worked better than excel.
Seriously though. Linux is the way to go. If you are slight scared linux mint just works and seems like Windows alot.
Last point. IF you are going to run windows. You have to reboot your computer at least once a week or soo. Just has to be done.
To err is human to really elephant it up you need a computer

Edit: I found a temporary workaround by setting lib_ldf_mode = off in the platformio.ini for the project
Latest Windows update nuked everyone's PlatformIO software.
Now whenever you go to build a project and it scans for dependencies it takes a really long time, making builds untenable.
I know it's Microsoft's fault because it didn't happen until the update. I know it's Microsoft's fault because it happens on WSL and Windows but not on real Linux. Finally, I know it's Microsoft's fault because many people are reporting the same problem.
What the hell is wrong with people? When people write bad software it offends me. Doubly so when they impose that bad software on my machine, which they didn't pay for.

WSL leaks horribly, running docker with WSL means I have to end the service every couple of days as it eats CPU to the point of eventually making the laptop almost inoperable.

I saw a similar  moment on YT some months back, but I can't find it now.

So you're saying it's some sort of pseudo-sudo?

Our two tech writers sit behind me. They use Adobe Illustrator, Acrobat, and Photoshop, as well as several large-ish art packages. They are constantly wrangling disk space, moving files around trying to free enough room to do their job. They have one 250GB drive apiece  .
I sit here with two 2TB SSD's and a 2TB hard drive (currently empty).
For the hour or so each and every day wasted on this activity, they could buy an SSD for each and they'd never have to do this again.

Nah. They buy them an SSD each and in six months, they will be full again. I have a 1TB SSD, a 500GB SSD, and 2 1TB HDDs in my desktop, plus a 16TB NAS, a 4TB NAS, and a 2TB NAS under the desk, a pile of 2TB and 4TB external drives (some of which are stored at a friends house at any given time). And every time I upgrade storage, it gets fuller ...
Get them a big heavy duty NAS (I can recommend QNAP) and put it under someone else's control. They will fill that too, but at least it stands a chance of being backed up ...
