Microsoft Account horror
Okay this is not written for this forum – I am just endlessly annoyed of the time spent on configuring windows according to their ever changing rules – all done for my safety, obviously. I felt I had not emptied my full frustration in the limited “FEEDBACK”
People are easily scared. The absurd idea that internet and/or computers bare somehow dangerous seem to be accepted around the globe. As a result any amount of nonsense can now be justified with the concern the computer business has for our safety.
For most people there is only one concern, the risk of losing data. Of data loss, I suspect 90 % are the result of unnecessary security and upgrades. This is probably a low estimate considering the enormous sums of money this drivel generates. My system either crashes from malfunctioning apps or tampering with user rights. As far as I can understand Apps are essentially bad version of old software.
If possible, rubbish like apps are made essential and integral part of the system or other functions. It is far outside my field of interest to find any logic for why I do not have access to the hidden "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps". I am not interested in the answer, because it is clearly designed this way. For some reason, beyond me, the conclusion of the brightest minds in Microsoft was that this solution will lead to the most profit.
Bitlocker stopped my access to three harddisks, because the keys saved at two different locations somehow were wrong. I cannot enter bios because it suddenly decided to protect itself with a password. Windows 11 demands secure boot capabilities – which is not possible without access to my bios. Earlier company’s provided a bios reset password. Now, they have all agreed it is better for the customer to buy a new laptop – to spare us from the agony of theft apparently.
I would not be surprised to learn that the password for my bios was engineered via a virus. Just like I suspect most that most viruses are made on the inside. There is just too much money to be made.
I have now spent about three days to get back my Microsoft Account password. The problem started when I opted for passwordless login with MS. When later asked by some other MS login – the result is messages like ‘this is probably our fault, but your password is wrong. Any fix for problems like this from Microsoft either warn me to not turn off UAC or the really helpful ‘Something unexpected happened’.
The complete waste of time … The horror …
