When they’re not installed correctly, you can get air leaks that make it massively more expensive to heat or cool your home.
A nonsensical amount of filepaths absolutely fucking everywhere to check for things.
Having to verify something installed/uninstalled correctly.
Pushing the button that says it does a thing, and it not actually doing that thing.
Clicking on a URL in a non-browser app? Surely you want to see that in Edge and not your default browser.
Nowadays it’s the online account centric shite and all the privacy implications that come along with it. But even before that it was annoying to just try to do the thing
Doing the thing on linux: command that does the thing
Doing the thing on windows: click here, click there, click some more, second tab, submenu, click advanced, type in the info, save, ok, “yes I’m sure”, click ok, click apply, close 626254 windows, rebootMS Edge, its a good browser. But fuckin hell does Windows love to shove it in your face every chance it gets.
I have to use Windows for work and the most annoying thing is the OneDrive-Sync. It makes the explorer extremely slow. When I open it, sometimes it takes more than 5 sec till I can use it. Wtf is this, 1997? Another thing is Teams with the awful performance and constant design changes.
And the “endpoint protection” that scans god only knows what (sends it all online too) when you, tadam, opens the context menu by right clicking. It often takes 40 seconds.

Welcome to the New Microsoft ___!
I am so tired and this is only my 4th year.
My computer installing an update and restarting because I was away from my desk. I won’t settle for any other OS though since Paint Tool SAI only runs on Windows.
That’s on you. Mine’s set to update at night so I never even notice.
Ah yes. Come back in the morning to resume my work and everything is closed. Thanks, Microsoft.
Notifications, suggestions, and just generally having make the OS get out of my way so I could do what I needed.
I can’t launch minecraft without first opening the microsoft app store signing out, then signing back in.
I hated having to do everything in a window. The desktop wasn’t really a thing.
On my old computer whenever I would launch my computer, the desktop icons would be randomly strewn around the desktop. I had to get a utility app that I would run manually every time my computer started in order to fix it.
OneDrive, I fucking hate that thing. Rest I can tolerate but OneDrive really grinds my gears.
Not the most annoying, but the most stupid and simple: The fact that even in windows 10 (not sure about 11), you couldn’t set custom keyboard shortcuts for volume up and down. I have had the right Ctrl+shift+up/down arrows bound to the volume up/down, since i started using Linux as my desktop fulltime over 10 years ago, and windows still won’t let you do that out of the box.
The lack of primary selection/middle click paste. I select text, try to paste it and then have to sheepishly go back and actually copy it for realsies.
I used to get annoyed at the lack of multiple workspaces, but since switching to a multi-monitor setup, I don’t really use multiple workspaces any more.
