Yep the recent Windows update broke a videogame that I was playing.

Windows used to be about backwards compatibility. Microsoft was proud of it. Twenty year old software ran on it.

Now it is all about AI stuff that I do not give a fuck about.

Copilot is now a hardware key on the keyboard. The audacity, messing around with people's muscle memory just to push more slop.

Microsoft truly has gotten too large to exist and needs to be broken up finally and permanently. In fact that holds true for any company found to abuse their existing financial power to push through slop or other unprofitable shit to outcompete others by sheer user count.

Fun fact: It is actually doing the same as the Office key, meaning it is actually a key combo (Left-Shift + Windows + F23). Office key instead is Left-Shift + Left-Alt + Left-Ctrl + Windows, which opens Office on release and if you press W, P, X, O, T, D, N, L or Y while holding it you open Word, PowerPoint, Excel, Outlook, Teams, OneDrive, One Note, LinkedIn and Yammer (actually opens MS365 Enterprise) respectively.
