Solved Has OneDrive gone insane?!

I'm sorry for bringing bad news.. Can be... AI is already abused and weaponized. They have AI in attack drones, in other kind of targeting weapons.. AI is used in cyberwarfare.
I abuse AI in my studies for red/blue-team cybersecurity to write code to attack systems (my own VM's so everything is legal)
So i have a local LLM with no guardrails, so i dont have to try to "manipulate/trick" the AI into generate malware code. i just ask for malware code and i get it.

So the abusement and the weaponization of AI is sadly already a reality.
Trump got really angry at Anthropic as they refused to let Pentagon and NSA to use Mythos without guardrails for mass surveillance and autonomous weapons.. So they have probibly found another one to use instead by now.... or will do soon.

"........ The Trump administration has lifted restrictions on Anthropic's AI models as of July 1, 2026, ending a ban imposed in June over cybersecurity concerns. The Claude Fable 5 model is now widely available, while access to the more powerful Mythos 5 is restored but limited to a select group of U.S.-based organizations approved by the federal government.........."

Didn't they made a new restriction.. all non US people couldn't use it.. so even those that worked at Anthropic with a foreign passport could even use it.
We in EU hast started to work hard to become independent from US tech as US market have become wayyyyyy to unstable with the last US administration.
Its like walking in a minefield and that just dont work when. Just yesterday Trump threaten EU on the tech side as Google got fined for breaking EU regulation, so Trump is therefore gonging to punish EU... Does Trump own Google as he is taking a fine that personal... its a darn joke over there.

Not to stray from the topic, but, OneDrive is still insane.

and it will always be
As you are a windows 11 user... can you list 5 good things with windows 11 from a user perspective (not security)
and then can you list 5 bad things from a user perspective.

and when you thinking time how long time it takes to come up with 5 good things and the time for 5 bad things. *LOL*

Edit: i was going to say 10 things of each, but then you might have to think until tomorrow to get 10 good things..

W11 is a good performer...
... I guess that's it!

I have no use for the App platform, Widgets, the Store, or any of that junk.
I'm a Win32 diehard.

I've used Windows 11 Pro for close to five years and it's been solid and problem free for me. Interactive Brokers Trader Workstation runs totally reliably. I use Visual Studio 2026 with no problems. For my photography Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom run beautifully. I keep all my data and photos in OneDrive, and my two computers, two iPads, and Smart Phone stay in perfect real-time sync with my terabyte of cloud OneDrive. I honestly have no complaints using Windows 11.

There has got to be a least one thing you've found disappointing about Windows 11!!!

On day one it would definitely have been the new menu. But over the years and especially with the last update, I really quite like it.

I haven't had too many 'problems' with W11, per se..., lots of disappointments though!
I, for one, cannot tolerate the W11 native Explorer Shell/App, whatever it's called!
I find it an extremely limited, non-flexible, dysfunctional piece of crap! Start Menu and Taskbar included!

I use windows for Adobe Photoshop, Adobe acrobat Pro and MS-Excel and my Banking digital ID smart card. That's it. Everything else i use Linux for.
But... if Microsoft would revive Windows 7 and make it as secure as windows 11.. i would switch to windows in two seconds as my main system... and i really mean it, as i actually dont really like Linux as a desktop OS.. server OS yes.. Desktop no

My problem with newer is that microsoft dont let me manage my own PC as i see fit.
My philosophy is.. give the user a bare-boned OS and let the user install the software that person needs. Then let the person chose when to install updates.

I have not played a single computer game since 2001.. why should i have Xbox installed? and i cant even uninstall it..
is windows 11 a gaming platform or an office OS

So you saying you using 11 and are happy, but wouldn't win11 be even better if it was like it is UI feeling but as like win2000/XP/vista/7 a pure OS and you installed what you needed and then got a even smoother experience as you had less things using system resources?

After I configured Windows Explorer, I really like it. You will notice that it's set up for OneDrive functionality.



Now for the Taskbar. For years I've used the hidden option for the Taskbar. I don't want it using up valuable screen space. If I need the Menu/Taskbar I simply tap the Windows Key. Even at that, I have little use for the Taskbar. I simply type the first letter or two of what I want and it's instantly there without having to fiddle with a Taskbar.

You and I have previously chatted at length about how differently we use Windows.
