What's sad is that most of the bugs now are the ones introduced with Windows 11. Like, in 2021 I had little to no issues with Windows 10. After they obliged users to switch to Win 11, literally dozens of issues appeared, which screw up basic functionalities and basic UX (not even some rare stuff), and these issues are not being fixed for years. And yes, this indeed frustrates a lot!
While you make a lot of good points here, and especially when you illustrate how complex testing Windows is, I think it's also incredibly important to realize that modern (Windows 10 and 11 era) Microsoft is still not really faultless at all. They have been directly responsible for the travesty of bugs that have occurred in Windows 10 and 11 due to them almost obliterating their testing division during the development of Windows 10, and these travesties include a bug that actually did cause MASSIVE data loss to consumers. (Microsoft didn't face any repercussions for this by the way.) And it's not just the consumer side. On the corporate side, they've shipped updates that have bricked servers. There's also the fact that though Windows is now more complex than ever, most of that modern complexity is just... Not needed or even wanted with consumers at all. Ask any old Windows veteran and they will tell you that if Windows 7 or even Windows XP still continued to receive driver and security updates, they would still happily use those operating systems to this day.
A company can be too responsive to bug fix requests. Years ago we were using a software package that had a function which worked correctly, but had an error in the documentation. They issued a bug fix that made the program work as described in the erroneous documentation, and I had to change that program to revert to the correct behavior. The next software “update” fixed the documentation and rolled back the software change.
@@thewebdiva5903 This is why Microsoft stinks and is evil and corrupt and always has been. They do not fucking care. I have the professional scars all over my back from a 40-year SW career running computing boxes for industry in which I did everyting in my power to avoid their useless bullshit SW for which they think the unfortuneate user is the ignored collateral damage to their profit taking.

I don't blame Bill, I blame Ballmer. 😀 Seriously though, the longer you work with computers, the more philosophical you become about it. I have rarely run across "showstopper" bugs in the OS or applications, and I've usually found a workaround. Sometimes you just shrug your shoulders and deal with it, because that's the nature of the business when it comes to software. Regarding the difficulty in fixing bugs, I remember an old PBS documentary series called The Machine That Changed The World. In one episode, a Microsoft developer was talking about how abstract it is just to write software in the first place, and he said that building software is much more complex than building a DC 10, because when there's a design problem with the plane, it's often related to its physical proximity and is much easier to track down and fix, but with software the problem could be literally anywhere in the code. When you think about how an operating system or application can contain literally millions of lines of code, you begin to appreciate (as Leo said) how well it even works at all.
@@michaelmcgovern8110 Yeah, that was a joke about Ballmer because of Win 8. But take your pick, Bill Gates with Microsoft, SteveJobs with Apple, Larry Ellison with Oracle, Phillip Kahn with Borland, Thomas Watson with IBM, they were or are narcissist egos that eventually saw software as only another business and tried to squeeze out every dollar they could for the net profit line. If it's in the interest of the company (net profit-wise) to fix a bug, they'll do it, if not, they'll try and let it slide. It's all part of the software business machine, and you either have to deal with it (such as myself because of my Windows based customers) or vote with your dollars and try a different OS like Linux. That's why I think you have to be philosophical about it (i.e. "In a hundred years, who's going to care?") because you become bitter and disillusioned about it otherwise. I still like writing software and building solutions, so I deal with the problems and keep on going. Just my take.
It's even worse when Microsoft "tried" to take out the Windows version 2 and version 3 code out of Windows to make it strictly 32bit. It was only then they realized that the documentation of the code wasn't what they expected and something had to be done to accommodate the 8/16bit code or replace it. Yikes!
I have seen an interview with Dave Cutler, the architect of VAX VMS, who came from DEC to be the architect of Windows. He mentioned that when DEC initially shipped VMS it had no KNOWN bugs. It's a shame he couldn't enforce that attitude at Microsoft.
he took the money and drank the Kool Aid. He could have walked and destroyed that shit with public statements of their corrupt management and design philosophy, you know... But he didn't. HE TOOK THE MONEY AND RODE THE RIDE.
Ah, VMS, what a joy it was to work on those systems. To be clear, I am not being sarcastic. My second job was at a small bank and their system was a VAX 11/780 running version 4.0.
@@bikeny I set up a MicroVAX II at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, installed VMS, Fortran and C compilers, all from tapes, in a single day, and was compiling programs the following day.

Bugs are in all software. But a lot of people that don't know how to use a product call it a bug. I worked on one fix on an application and I thought it worked well.... so sent it to QA Department.

As many different pieces of hardware and software as there are, it’s a miracle that Windows works as well as it does. But, some people really do need to put their computer back in the box, return it, and go do something else.
Good subject. Speaking of 'features' that I am surprised didn't get fixed is the rotation option in file explorer. I use Sketchbook (formerly from autodesk) and it writes .tif files with special record(s) that contains all of the real data. I found out the hard way that the rotation button destroys the underlying data. Considering it is data loss (potentially on a large scale if you have a lot of files selected) I am puzzled that there isn't a warning or to have the feature fixed to retain the opaque data. I guess not too many people have .tif files with this condition so that's probably why it's still hanging out as a feature.
Sometimes a bug that is easily reproducible, affects a large number of users, and clearly isn't the intended behavior can nevertheless be extremely difficult to fix, even if it causes potential data loss. There is just no correlation between the simplicity of the bug itself and the simplicity of its fix. The underlying code could have evolved over many years, touched by many developers, with interactions that are poorly documented and poorly understood. Of course extensive testing, as you point out, is meant to uncover those interactions, but when they are found during testing of a bug fix, you are sometimes back to square one - redesigning your approach to the fix - followed of course by another round of full regression testing.
In practice, there are software where bugs are pretty much non-existent. Also there are software that are very carefully audited and maintained for long time that bugs are rare.

Thanks for providing a detailed look at what it takes and the resources that could be involved, in correcting a program bug. Thank you for your insight.
Sometimes, to "fix" a bug, even if it is truly a bug, will cause more problems than it could possibly solve. Sometimes scripts, tools, and other software are written to accommodate (read, "work around") specific behavior in an OS or application, even if that behavior is wrong. For example, enter the date 2/29/1900 in Excel. First, however, ask yourself what the expected answer is. "Was 1900 a leap year?" It was NOT -- but Excel thinks it WAS. This bug has been carried forward since the beginning of time. Or, at least, since Lotus 1-2-3 was released. High Quality, or Short Schedule, or Low Development Cost. Pick any two, at the expense of the third!
One "bug" that does exist in MSFT is a command prompt for printers to sporadically produce a performance report. There is a lengthy thread in the User Forum about this issue, and it occurs across every brand of printer. The only sure fix is to replace a USB-connected printer with one that operates on wi-fi. For some reason, when the printer is no longer hard-wired to the PC, the report issue goes away.

In my working years, I've seen a lot of software come and go. When Office 95 and its later iteration came along -- and people were transitioning from older software (e.g., WordPerfect, Lotus 1-2-3, and so on), users were complaining about all the "bugs" and other functions that were "no longer available" or processes that could just not be done. After I completed my Microsoft certification courses, I realized what I suspected all along: It was just plain ignorance that created most of the uproar. Yes, the older program may have had a function or feature no longer present, but it was more likely that the user just didn't want to actually learn the new software. I was a fan of the older software, but I came to realize that the new Office products were very powerful, indeed, and could run circles around the older stuff, once you sat down and spent the energy learning the new, instead of wasting that time and energy sounding off about how the older software was so much better. "No, it's not buggy software, it's you."
Do you think Microsoft is agressively pushing users to have TPM is to make their OS and computers more secure as people commonly perceive Windows being a less secure OS and Mac or Linux being better? Also that's why they're trying to get rid of Win 10 as its old and now they have to maintain two versions of Windows? ARM and non-ARM versions?
MS are ending support for W10 because they want Virtualization Based Security enabled by default. Only the CPUs supported by W11 can use it without a huge performance impact.
I frequently like to drag a file from one widow to another. What bugs me is that the second window that I open, appears smack on top of the first window that was opened. This requires me to drag one window away from the other one. Who wants both windows to appear at the same place?
Correct! What I consider a "bug" Microsoft considers a feature. I can complain forever about the flat, glaring user interface that's difficult to use without light-blocking computer glasses in any mode, but they're not going to add options to "fix" it because more people think it's beautiful.
Microsoft could choose to create choices and options instead of choosing for us. There are certain features - or lack thereof - which 99% of users may want one way, but 99% of 5 billion devices still leaves 50 million people who don't want it that way.

This is either a product of microsoft or Leo is in love with Bill.

Its hard to be a stand up guy and be in charge of the largest art thefts known to mankind, over a billion crimes in one day. Is that the philanthropic work you speak of? It is a time of true greed and excess. It is not the problem of the end user to hand over their lifes work to feed a machine or to pay for the "Vomitorium's" being built at Microsoft headquarters so the upper management can over eat, throw up and continue over eating while the elderly and disabled people of America starve to death and cant afford shampoo, toilet paper and medications and food.

When Office 95 and its later iteration came along -- and people were transitioning from older software (e.g., WordPerfect, Lotus 1-2-3, and so on), users were complaining about all the "bugs" and other functions that were "no longer available" or processes that could just not be done. After I completed my Microsoft certification courses, I realized what I suspected all along: It was just plain ignorance that created most of the uproar. Yes, the older program may have had a function or feature no longer present, but it was more likely that the user just didn't want to actually learn the new software. I was a fan of the older software, but I came to realize that the new Office products were very powerful, indeed, and could run circles around the older stuff, once you sat down and spent the energy learning the new, instead of wasting that time and energy sounding off about how the older software was so much better. "No, it's not buggy software, it's you."
Do you think Microsoft is agressively pushing users to have TPM is to make their OS and computers more secure as people commonly perceive Windows being a less secure OS and Mac or Linux being better? Also that's why they're trying to get rid of Win 10 as its old and now they have to maintain two versions of Windows? ARM and non-ARM versions?
MS are ending support for W10 because they want Virtualization Based Security enabled by default.
Only the CPUs supported by W11 can use it without a huge performance impact.
Do issues such as bloatware also fall into this concept? Would it not be (ultimately) possible to provide users options regarding bloatware?
"It's not a bug, it's an undocumented feature."
Thanks!
Thank you!
I frequently like to drag a file from one widow to another. What bugs me is that the second window that I open, appears smack on top of the first window that was opened. This requires me to drag one window away from the other one. Who wants both windows to appear at the same place?
I guess you're not referring to Windows 10 or 11 as "the horrible bug"?!
Indeed
iI'd amend that slightly to "horrible bug CASCADE".
Got to be Windows 8.0
Correct! What I consider a "bug" Microsoft considers a feature. I can complain forever about the flat, glaring user interface that's difficult to use without light-blocking computer glasses in any mode, but they're not going to add options to "fix" it because more people think it's beautiful.
WINDOWS 95 BLEW UP MULTIPLE TIMES A DAY >>>WHEN RELEASED INTO INDUSTRY
Microsoft could choose to create choices and options instead of choosing for us. There are certain features - or lack thereof - which 99% of users may want one way, but 99% of 5 billion devices still leaves 50 million people who don't want it that way.
You imply MS cares. They do NOT. Unless is COSTS them money or MAKES them money, they are deaf.
Microsoft SEOs are like politicians: they consider their clients masses, not individuals.
it would have been nice if m$ had fixed the "feature" that didn't spot a change of floppy disk back when they were a thing. Good way to lose a disk full of data
Horrible bug.... pretty much everything after win 7
I Been Trying To Call A House Number To My Friends Place For A While Now, It’s A Landline Which Means I’m Not Blocked, Is There Anything You Can Do To Help? I Always Get This Mailbox Is Currently Unavailable’ I Think It’s Because There Mailbox Is Full Of Messages & They Haven’t Removed
Exactly ... their voicemail mailbox is full. Nothing to be done other than to try to contact them some other way.
@@askleonotenboom Is There Any Other Way To Fix It Too? Than That?
Majority don't want Recall, yet it is going to be rolled out. At least this time it is an opt in. Let's hope it will stay like that!
Just how they are going to merge two mutually exclusive proposals, that the computer will remember FOREVER what you saw on your screen, but only dedicate some 25GB storage for it, or only using a local one, which is inherently limited? Someone explain it to me.
And a perfect example of shipping an update without the slightest attempt at testing : CrowdStrike :)
Ok, that wasn't Microsoft's fault ... but one that was : Windows 10 1809 which caused massive data loss!
and the auto-scrolling folders in left pane of Explorer is for decades now. Does Microsoft have any excuse?
Microsoft clearly likes me…since I’m the only person on earth who likes the W11 start menu… 😂😂😂
Any sufficiently complex program has bugs - Dr Alan Solomon
Can you give us some examples of what bugs are bothering people?
The example that spurred this video was someone who felt the way file sizes were displayed in Windows File Explorer were an absolute travesty. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@@askleonotenboom Back when I was using windows 2000, there was a small app or registry key I used to show the folder sizes in explorer the same as it shows the file size when using the details view. That was really handy, but I don't think there is a version that works for win 10 or 11.
video about help stuck/hung app with "hung" taskman will be great :::D
i use win from i dont know what version but it before 3.x ,,, until w11 23h2
i never occurs bug that never solved, why? because when i found blue screen if i want to play x game, then the solustion, i will stop play that x game ^^ i just run and play, app/games that "soft" and "compatible" with OS
Thank you for Sharing! 💯✴
Waiting for new episode of TEH podcast
Skipped last week, should be one this week.
Microsoft itself is a BBBBBBBBUUUUUUUJJJUGGGGGGGGGGG😊 Note there are 3xJ’s in there.
😆
Because.............They are too busy working on the very next major BUG called Windows 12 !
People are complainers by nature. Some years ago I read software reviews and one person gave it the lowest rating possible. The reason: because it was not for free.
Yeah, and that's why we have subscription base because people complain about not being free and they pirate it. And if the company sells the software in a high price, they will curse the company
Ask the same guy to do a day's work for nothing and I think we can predict his response.
This is either a product of microsoft or Leo is in love with Bill. Mr. Gates is still the CEO and largest shareholder of Microsoft and is responsible for everything that comes in or out of that place. Its hard to be a stand up guy and be in charge of the largest art thefts known to mankind, over a billion crimes in one day. Is that the philanthropic work you speak of? It is a time of true greed and excess. It is not the problem of the end user to hand over their lifes work to feed a machine or to pay for the "Vomitorium's" being built at Microsoft headquarters so the upper management can over eat, throw up and continue over eating while the elderly and disabled people of America starve to death and cant afford shampoo, toilet paper and medications and food. But its still ok to steal all of their artwork. Yeah he's a stand up guy that should be in prison
No matter how hard you try, you wind up apparently exonerating MS, and that ain't right. OK? I have the personal A ND professional scars on me from all the BS and lies and tragedy that MS caused by their assholic behavior OVER MY 40-YEAR CAREER.
Don't blame the consumer. Not for MS hellishness.
Bugheck this, dude!
You sound unhinged or senile
In respect of bugs Macintosh seems much better than Windows, but more expensive though.
Not at all. Mac or iOS seems bug free but they too have lot of them even in Apple's own apps like Music or Books that I use daily so I know. And iCloud is the buggiest of all
Your second clause goes a long way to explaining the first.
How is it more expensive when MacOs is free ?
Mac actually has a sw testing department. MS laid theirs off. Go look it up.
@@michaelmcgovern8110 And that makes their operation more expensive to run.
They got Vomitorium's
Although Bill Gates hasn't been with Microsoft for many years, for a lot of people, he is still the go-to-whipping-boy for our frustrations, because he created Microsoft. Even I still curse him when a forced update is shoved down my computer at a bad time. No, it's not fair, but as Mr. Spock would say: "It is human."
Gates created that paranoid, greedy, amoral, thieving bunch of thugs who will gladly use force: stealing sw, illegal restraint of trade thru wage restrictions: all violence in the industrial forum. Violence to steal from users and rob their workers,.
Did you know that you can pause the updates for up to 35 days, and resume them within this period at your convenience?
@@ilsavv I know about pausing the updates, but unless I specifically go looking for updates, they often get installed in the background, but when I go to shutdown my computer I find out about it, usually right before I'm ready to go home or go to bed. And yes, I have it set up to notify me that an update is necessary, but it rarely tells me that until I'm ready to shutdown. Very frustrating.
@@ilsavv Perhaps, but that's like postponing a severe beating. You know it's coming but you don't want the dam thing at all. MS forces their garbage on you as they see fit. I enjoyed the days when we could say No Thanks!
@@acreguy3156 Forcing updated is really annoying with MS.
Why didn't Leo Notenboom fix his horrible tic habit of looking up and off to the side as if he's dragging hugely valuable information from the darkest recesses of his mind....? Sorry to get personal but it drives me crazy and once you see it you can never unsee it. 😡
Well you could if you stopped watching, which seems like an obvious solution 🤷♀️
I'm looking at many things, including the source article, possibly a virtual machine (for some videos), and more. Sorry. Maybe close your eyes (or subscribe to the podcast version, which is audio-only).
@@karenm2669 Not if it's key to what I'm delivering.
@@karenm2669 Well his information is great but it's the constant, exaggerated eye movements that are just too much for me. Just look directly at the camera. There is no need to be looking off and up - other presenters don't seem to need to do it.
@@regwatson2017wanting a presenter to be like other presenters is nuts. There are loads of knowledgeable computer guys on TH-cam. Leo’s seemingly unscripted, well modulated, articulate delivery is precisely WHY I subscribed to this channel. For me, it’s a feature, not a bug.
Microsoft are a horrible company and I am always happy to pirate.
So you're happy to steal their product and use it? On the same logic, presumably you'd be happy to have your car stolen?
@@davidf6326 Your comparison makes no sense
@@lewiskelly14 Theft is theft. If you're 'happy' to steal, then it would be hypocritical to not be similarly happy when someone steals from you.
Pirating software generally is not good, but with MS it is kind of questionable.
@@ilsavv Questionable? On the basis of what justification?
If you don't like a company or you disagree with their principles, simply don't buy their products.
