Help Ask for help here

3 Upvotes

Microsoftsucks is not a techsupport subreddit, but naturally because people come to this subreddit after having a problem with a Microsoft product which made then say "Microsoft sucks! I am fed up!", they are going to make a post to ask for help! and sometimes a post from this subreddit is going to show up on the search results and that leads people to then ask for help here. Which is a nice way the subreddit gets promoted to people who never thought of Microsoft being so bad

rant I kinda still hate Windows 11. Because that OS downright despicable

14 Upvotes

But Windows 8.1 and 7 XP Vista and 2000 was better value alternatives and good.
Windows 11 was literally using AI because of copilot is being knock off/rip off to Cortana assistant. This is quite frustrating thing is. while Microsoft give people to upgrade to Windows 11 to Windows 10 computer/PC users while it’s ending support back in October 2025 to embarrass users to use a free upgrade being a rhetorical question system upgrade rather then for a great features to microslop. I will never install windows 11 again being a rhetorical most hated and despicable os

Stop Microsoft from adding ads to Xbox games

Thumbnail

11 Upvotes

Microsoft is reportedly planning to add ads directly into Xbox games. Let that sink in for a moment.

For a lot of us, gaming is the one place where we can actually escape the constant ads and commercialism. You load up a game to get lost in a story, test your skills, or just decompress—not to get interrupted by corporate sponsors. If ads start popping up mid-gameplay, that whole experience falls apart.

I started a petition to push back on this. The gaming industry is thriving (worth over $150 billion globally), and there are plenty of ways for companies to make money without breaking immersion—cosmetics, battle passes, DLC that actually adds value. Ads in games just feel like greed disguised as "monetization."

Has anyone else noticed how ads are creeping into everything we used to have to ourselves? Curious if this bothers you as much as it bothers me. If it does, consider signing and sharing the petition. It only takes a minute, and it sends a real message that we care about keeping games the way they should be.

You are absolutely buffons.

There are like about core 1000 core features on windows. You have hundred of thousands of employees. You could asign 100 person on each core feature to make sure it's never doing random crap like that.

"Geez I wonder why everyone leaving for Apple and Linux"

No fucking wonder. It's infuriating how bad you are at keeping things not broken.

God fucking damnit this is annoying. Time to boot up the registry. AGAIN. And fix the shit you can't keep straight

And no I'm not asking for tech support. This is not a tech support post. I know how to fix this crap

Simply because it happens every 3 months after you drop an update !

Lo de Microsoft ya es increible

Ya me está tocando los put*s huevos

Resulta que hace poco me robaron el celular, tenia ahí mi numero y el autenticador, Microsoft no me deja entrar de ninguna forma posible a mi cuenta, lo que ya me está tocando demasiado las pelotas, la verdad, no tengo autenticador ni número de teléfono, pero me sé la contraseña, el puto Microsoft de mierda tiene opción de "Usar contraseña" pero al usarla te manda de nuevo a recibir un código de mier**. El correo que uso para Microsoft incluso es un correo de Google, por el cual debería al menos haber mínimo una opción de verificación mediante Google. PERO NO.

Y qué pasa? que me rendí con la p*ta cuenta esta, tristemente tengo el Minecraft comprado ahí y lo tengo que dejar ir, me tengo que crear otra de Microsoft para volver a gastar dinero en el juego, además me sale esta p*ta mierda de: "Se bloqueó la creación de cuentas", SEÑOR, HACE 2 DIAS QUE INTENTÉ INICIAR SESIÓN, YA QUITEME EL LIMITE ESTE DE MIER** QUE NI ME DEJAS CREAR CUENTA Y NI PUEDO JUGAR MINECRAFT, ME VIENES ROMPIENDO LAS B*LAS CON INICIAR SESIÓN EN MICROSOFT EN CADA COSA QUE HAGO Y NI PUEDO. QUE FORMA DE JUGAR CON MI PACIENCIA Y MI TIEMPO. Al final tiene merecido que pirateen todo, entra más fácil un hacker que el propietario a una cuenta. Sé que estoy siendo excesivo, pero entienda mi frustración, ya intenté de todo, perdí datos en mi onedrive también y fui robado.

Esto me servirá para desahogarme.

Microsoft Took My Money (this got removed from r/microsoft for being a "support post" even though it f###ing isn't.) Satya Nadella, why do you hate me? do you enjoy making your customers miserable? I can't use my newly shipped Xbox because Microsoft locked my account and blocked recovery.

0 Upvotes

I just want to express how unfathomably disappointed I am with Microsoft since they make it completely impossible to actually contact them. I have been a customer for over 6 years. Now all of a sudden I get essentially banned because I log in in a different location on a different device, I tried every different log in method and none worked. So cool having a 300 dollar paperweight because Microsoft doesn't know the difference between a hacker and the literal owner of the account. Satya Nadella should be ashamed.

rant Have problem, need solution

1 Upvotes

I was starting a new computer with installed win11 and at the start micro(shit)soft account asked me to sign in, because I couldn't proceed otherwise.

So, I sign in and win11 does the updates and restarts. After the restart the microshit account asks for a sign in again;

I do it,

it says- you will get a code on your mail to verify you are you

I type in the code,

it says are you a parent or a child?

I say a parent,

it says: You need to sign in with your account to verify.

What????

I am signing in with my account!!!!

Anybody have any sane ideas how to bypass this loop??

I tried everthing that microshit has proposed on its sign in helper page and some stuff AI said to try.

Its been two days of trying to sign back in. At one point I got back in, entered windows, tried to turn off the "always sign in" mode, but microshit wouldn't let me do it without signing in again!!

rant Sanity checking my shortlist for azure microsoft support

0 Upvotes

We've narrowed it down to two or three options for Microsoft support coverage across our Azure and M365 environment. Before we commit i wanted to run it by people who've actually been through this process. Main things we're weighing are response times on critical issues and whether third-party providers can actually resolve things or just relay tickets. What has your experience been ?
