And then the back button in your browser can’t take you back anymore.
If you right click the back button you can select the page before they click-jacked you
And if you venture forth into their support pages you can take a tour through different Microsoft design phases of the last two decades. When everything looks Windows XP/Xbox360… you have gone too far.
Yes fuck Microsoft answers or any website that does this
Haha, hundred percent, I just experienced this for the first time like an hour ago!
Got to hit it 2-3 times quickly

Dealing with Microsoft Forums really made me appreciate Startpage. Every link you click in the search results opens a new tab.
Yeah, what’s the deal with that?
If I recall correctly it’s for single sign on. Something something it making a secure session
Have you tried

The, “link that went down 20 years ago” is a great touch.
Ok, but one time I had this maddening problem that the rest of the internet claimed I needed windows pro and the group policy editor to solve, and I ran upon some"windows independent advisor" who just posted a bunch of powershell commands, that I ran blindly, and holy shit it magically solved EVERYTHING!
MicroSloth hiding the facts about what works in Home versions versus Pro : reason #459 why a profit driven OS is bad for all consumers.
these “advisors” might be mostly bots anyway, pair it with a forum thats probably heavily moderated to keep unapproved stuff off it.
append site:reddit.com or something and you may find actual people talking about the issue, much more useful.
Everyone knows the solution is: del /S /Q C:*
In 2002 20 years old dead link? hmmm
That makes sense the post is from 2002 and the link was good for 2-3 years after since it would be 20 years before today.
M$ Support? Better asking in TikTok. M$ don’t have a real support more than a prefab possible issue list where for sure isn’t what you are looking for.
Wow, that link apparently went down in 1982!
Its funny cuz people say linux is harder, but if i have a problem in linux i am never worried if i will be able to fix it. In windows? Sweating bullets. May the Gods spare me from the hell that is the registry. Dont make me go back.
And here, last night, I was stressing over an issue with distributing the version of an app that I knew would solve the problem caused by this other app being only a facsimile of the one it replaced, and is there for missing some important compatibility.
But new is shiny so fuck ‘usable’.
So I was grabbing this other app to do the thing I knew it could, but this app was first built 18 years ago, and last major update - security not feature - was 9-10 years ago. The app is feature-complete and it’s not fucking systemd so it can stop at being perfect for its primary use.
But then its python interpreter has left it behind, like “fuck you this can’t even run”, because they fucked wit the api without thinking. And now this app is just abandonware.
I think that’s two sides of the same coin: you have inept answers from people practicing robotic responses, and my thing was killed by eager-beaver devs who cut off features they don’t understand or value, just like a civil war surgeon treating athletes foot. Similar, my shit won’t ever run again either.
(No I don’t know python yet. Too busy working to learn it; and also indentation disco sucks)
This is a big plus for Linux to me. If I have a specific problem, with a specific error code. I can usually find useful information to fix it online. Not some useless generic garbage fix from that forum.
In fairness if you’re a total technology troglodyte they can supply basic answers. But the moment there’s a real glitch for which actual programmers are needed…
DISM SFC
Good luck!
For some reason I’ve read that with an indian accent
