Microsoft’s Windows 11 AI Integration Draws Backlash on Performance, Privacy Woes

Microsoft's integration of artificial intelligence into Windows 11 has led to significant user dissatisfaction, with reports of sluggish performance, software bloating, and increased hardware strain. Users have experienced issues such as longer boot times, higher memory usage, and frequent glitches, particularly with features like Copilot, which disrupt multitasking. Outage trackers indicate surges in complaints about Microsoft Copilot, highlighting reliability issues. Concerns have also been raised about AI agents exhibiting hallucinations and security vulnerabilities, with users reporting risks of data leaks. Microsoft's claim that 30% of new Windows code is AI-generated has been met with skepticism due to persistent bugs. Hardware partners, such as Dell, have noted consumer disinterest in AI PCs, reflecting broader market hesitance. Privacy concerns have emerged regarding AI scanning user data, and internal reliance on AI for coding has led to notable errors. Security experts warn that deep AI integration could introduce new attack vectors. User feedback mechanisms have been criticized for slow responses, and there is a general call for AI tools that enhance rather than hinder user experience. Microsoft has adjusted its internal goals due to low demand for AI products, signaling a potential shift towards more user-centric updates.

Roblox and Minecraft Lawsuit Says Developers ‘Weaponized’ Games To Drive Addiction and Excessive Spending

Shawna Goble has filed a lawsuit against video game companies, including Roblox and Microsoft, alleging they have "weaponized" their gaming platforms by embedding design features that promote excessive play and spending, particularly among minors. The lawsuit claims these companies use deceptive design tactics, referred to as "dark patterns," to exploit psychological vulnerabilities, leading to compulsive play and repeated microtransactions. Goble argues that these games operate more as conditioning systems than entertainment products, utilizing advanced data analytics to target players susceptible to addiction. The lawsuit includes various legal claims such as strict product liability and fraud. Additionally, the U.S. Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation is set to hear arguments regarding the consolidation of federal video game addiction lawsuits, focusing on Fortnite, Roblox, and Minecraft, which are described as "gateway" games with addictive design strategies targeting children.

Windows 11 issue shows “Edit in Notepad” for all file types, including .exe and images

Windows 11's File Explorer context menu includes the "Edit in Notepad" option for various file types, which is intended only for plain text files. Users can remove this option by editing the Windows Registry. Notepad now registers as a general-purpose text editor, causing it to appear for all file types, including images. To remove "Edit in Notepad," users can create a subkey in the Registry Editor under Shell Extensions and add the specific GUID. Other Shell Extensions can also be removed using a similar method by adding their respective GUIDs. Microsoft is reportedly working on improvements for the context menu.
