I'm still clinging desperately to Windows 7 but I use my laptop with Windows 10 to participate in home schooling for my granddaughter. We do video calls in Messenger accessed by a URL invoked via Chrome browser.
Overnight, Windows 10 decided that Chrome is too insecure to be allowed access to the camera which is great to find out at the start of a rigidly scheduled time window for a video call. It took a while to track down where the camera blockage was coming from but installing Messenger and invoking it directly appeased the Microsloth ^%$^%$.

Yep. It broke the print spooling so I was unable to print anything at all; it changed font sizes everywhere so that many programs were totally unusable, and many system dialogs were incorrectly sized so that cancel / ok buttons weren't accessible... and more. Have un-installed it three times but, like a virus, it kept coming back. Eventually followed advice on here and setup WSUS pointing to a non-existent server. No more issues since then, but of course no more updates either.

Did you know Karl Marx had a sister? Her name was Onya and she invented the starting pistol.

I trust that she didn't invent it in the British Library.

I'm glad she invented it way back then: if she'd tried today, she'd be shot as a terrorist ...

I'm glad you remembered to end the question with the punctuation symbols from another of their family : Question Marx.

Dear Microsoft: If the email has no content other than my signature and I click on the Discard button, please don't ask me to confirm!
Software is often so brainless. Because the programmers also are.
Now, granted, if I were writing a one-off email program, I would probably not bother to do that check. But this is a big giant company making a professional product that should be smarter than it is. And that's just one, very minor, issue I have with Outlook 365.
And yes, sometimes I click on "New Message" and decide, nope, I don't want to email so-and-so.

Outlook 2019 does the same: "Do you want to discard changes?" - but only if you entered a recipient or typed something. A blank message just silently disappears ... which is the way I want it.

I think a lot of frameworks do show similar weak behaviour. Let me simplify it very much:
A dataset has usually (?) the states insert/modified/display. But usually a 'insert_not_modified' is not available.
It does not solve my Problem, but it answers my question
Chemists have exactly one rule: there are only exceptions

At what point does your signature no longer count as content? Isn't it part of the message body like anything else?

Automatically written by the program, no user interaction in the message so far.
Actually not that difficult to track

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

I wouldn't expect the programmers at Microsoft get much of a say in the design and functionality of the software they create.

Did you type anything into any of the data entry fields (address lines included) and then clear it out. Outlook keeps a flag that says the message has been changed but doesn't know if it's been reverted.
