March 25Windows Weekly 976: Full Thurrottle
In 2015, Satya Nadella said that he wanted users to love Windows. But Microsoft has only enshittified Windows more aggressively since then. Paul wrote a book. And now Microsoft says it's changed, baby, and it's serious this time. Here's what was said ... and what was not said.
A Timeline
Early signs of positive change: Rust in the Windows kernel, numerous new security features in Windows 11 - "two sides" of Windows, the engineering side and the "let's push AI at all costs/UX" side - more recently, Baseline Security Mode and User Transparency and Consent announcement

Last September, Pavan Davuluri took over Windows and reorganized the business immediately, bringing Server/Core back in-house

In December, Paul saw the first signs of positive changes in OneDrive, while not perfect, a major step back from the enshittification there. It took a few months to understand exactly what changed.

In January, there are over one billion Windows 11 users. Davuluri first mentions a push for quality in 2026 - "pain points"

In February, Nadella announced leadership changes that included people directly in charge of security and engineering quality

Now, Microsoft has announced that it will address (some of) the complaints about Windows 11, and this includes performance and reliability improvements across the board
Microsoft said it will
Let you move the Taskbar to other screen edges, finally

Improve File Explorer performance

Make changes to how users to skip Windows Updates (vaguely)

Make improvements to Widgets (but what about the quality problem?)

Remove unnecessary Copilot entry points

Make the Windows Insider Program more transparent

More relevant recommendations in Start - ??

Reduce resource usage across the board, give more resources to what you're doing (good for gaming, especially)

Reduce interaction latency - WInUI3

Reduce search latency throughout - also context menus and navigation (which is WinUI3, I guess)

Make improvements to Windows Subsystem for Linux

OS, drive, and in-box app reliability improvements

Windows Hello improvements - Wonders if this is tied to the complaint about speed here
What Microsoft didn't discuss
Of the several items in the Windows 11 Enshittification Checklist, only one was addressed by Davuluri's post, Windows Update chaos, and then only partially. Not mentioned: Forced telemetry, bundled crapware, forced Microsoft account sign-ins, forced Microsoft Edge usage and configuration harassment, hardware requirements (less relevant today), OneDrive behaviors (partially addressed already).

Recall is rare in that it's opt-in, but most of the AI and unwanted features are opt-out or worse

Controlled Feature Releases are not controlled, but they do suck

Microsoft has monthly Security Updates that include new features. Security and Feature updates should be separate and have different pausing rules

Microsoft is not removing Copilot from Windows, nor is it doing less AI; it is just removing Copilot icons from most places and trying to be more thoughtful about how it deploys AI in Windows 11

The Windows Insider Program makes 0 sense right now, and this was only partially addressed; it's not clear what's changing yet

Davuluri says that WinUI3 UIs are the solution to many performance problems, but just using an old
