There were a bunch of apps that were disabled. I suspect that Google and Microsoft could never come to mutually agreeable terms.

I have finally fixed the problem I had with the Microsoft Store being broken on my Windows 10 machine. None of the solutions provided by the pajeets and the AI-voiced Youtube channels worked.
I have re-installed Windows (I was planning to anyway) and now it is working as intended.

Aaaaaaaaaaugh. Ran into a problem trying to downgrade my father's new pc. Turns out none of the drivers work on this HP 17. They only have 11 versions available. The mousepad, the network adapter, they all don't work for shit.
Any other options? I was gonna just let him rot on 11, but this dude does not want to make some microsoft account, which they seem to hard require on 11.

There are guides to avoid the account. Basically, disable the Internet and run a command line prompt during setup to allow a non-Internet setup.
Although apparently they keep fixing those and people find new ones. Currently looks to require some regedit.
Another option is to make a Micosoft account. Then convert the user to a local user. Then tell Microsoft to eventually delete the account.

Time to seethe about Windows. It seems that applications can claim some kind of privileged execution that prevents a laptop from sleeping. Which applications? I don't fucking know. I have a lot of shit running. I took my laptop out of my bag, and it was blazing hot at 3% battery.
OSX never does this. If it's closed and unplugged, it tells everything, "Fuck you, go to sleep."
Why can't Windows do this? It is such a simple, basic function of a laptop to NOT devour the battery when closed. Windows laptops have been around for 30 years now. It's still a fucking garbage laptop OS. I guess I should be grateful it doesn't just crash like Windows 98 did 99% of the time you'd didn't shut down before closing the lid.

My Win11 work laptop did this to me the one time I put it to sleep instead of shutting down. Either woke up for no good reason or just never went to sleep to begin with. Awesome.

You're saying this like windows was lagging behind in tech. Linux's sleep mode is super janky, it's a whole separate process that tells the computer to stop processing everything instead of the computer itself stopping everything and turning itself off after a signal. Because OSX is based on linux this process still probably exists in there somewhere. I'm sure this has never caused problems before wink wink
Also it's the first time I heard of it, never happened to me.
Again never happened to me, are you sure you guys didn't install a malware or something?
I did some research and apparently they're called "uninterruptible processes" and only system processes should be "uninterruptible processes".

I have an issue where my laptop shuts down instead of sleeping on low battery, and I end up losing progress on various personal projects. I have even set it to go to sleep at 20% and it doesnt sleep it just keeps going down to zero, and then the battery dies.

Yea, no.
It's based on FreeBSD and the original 4.3BSD. Except for both BSD and Linux being Unix flavors there is no common ancestry there, with some utilities being shared between the two.
I've had my Windows laptop even drain the battery when I thought I shut it off, not sure if I failed to wait until it was all the way shut down and it then slept when I closed the screen or if I failed to turn off all the active power sucking crap.

It is lagging behind in tech. It lags behind in tech the way General Motors does. Linux lags behind in tech the way a rusted-out AMC Matador with a family of raccoons living in it does.
No, it isn't.

Linux isn't Unix, it's Unix-like and was designed to be a free and open source alternative to Unix back when the Unix trademark was owned by AT&T.
Since then the Unix trademark was sold to a non-profit which allows companies to use the name so long as they meet certain standards, which Linux doesn't meet on its own

Maybe I was just avoiding this update the entire time but why the fuck did they fuck the time in the bottom right? It used to say 12:00 PM 01/01/01 and now its just 12:00 01/01 and apparently it took them 30+ years and several operating systems to do that. I know its a minor thing but its so unnecessary.

I believe you can customize the date format in settings? You can even make a custom string that puts the date and time variables in any order with anything separating them

Change it through the region format settings. [Region (uwp settings) > Additional date, time & regional settings > Change date, time or number formats]

I did a fresh install of W11 LTSC IoT and installed my programs with winget for the first time. Installing 50 programs with one command was beautiful. 
Two typos in the new Live Caption feature. Last sentence. "donwload modle."
Don't worry, I clicked NO. I can sleep easily knowing my voice is safe and only what I type is being sent directly to MS and the NSA.
