Been using a cloud-hosted microsoft VDI desktop recently. It's on whatever version of 10 is the most recent. One thing that constantly amazes me is how bad the start menu has gotten at actually launching programs. On my own machines I have an old keystroke launcher that I'm attached to so I rarely try the start menu. This win10 machine out in the cloud takes about 5 seconds to open and draw the menu, and the after typing "notepad" I get to watch those 3 dots slide across the thing for about 10-12 more seconds before notepad appears, usually the 3rd or 4th option behind some utter garbage nobody would ever click on

a bit back I installed VS Codium on it, and discovered that the start menu can't even manage partial matches. "Codium" returns absolutely no hits, because the actual link is named "VSCodium"

nice os good job

you can uninstall the home version of teams from the start menu (it's a modern app). it will get reinstalled by the next feature update

Using OneDrive for Business seems nicer than shared drives in a lot of ways except when the SharePoint leaks out.

I can't send a link to a spreadsheet or otherwise a reference that will open in the recipient's desktop Excel like I could with UNC paths. Everyone's crap is mounted in like C:\Users\bofa.DEEZNUTZ\Deez Nutz Inc.\Sharepoint Folder - General\garbo.xlsx

i hate that your user profile gets tied to it though

like i still have access to the sub i got through attending NYU, so the path is something like

C:\Users\Beeftweeter\beeftweeter@nyu.edu - OneDrive\Desktop

I dislike that I had to tie my MS account to win 11 but I really dislike that it automatically named my user folder a truncated version of my Microsoft username/email which is 7 characters, but they truncated it to 5 and it looks stupid.

they try to hide it by showing my real name in windows explorer but it’s still visible in some cases (pinned to quick access, etc.).

like why wouldn’t it name the folder after my first name or my entire 7 character long handle.. why is 5 the cutoff?

That drove me nuts too lol. I spent an inordinate amount of time figuring out how to rename it.

i could absolutely swamp this thread in posts about all the poo poo broken in onedrive/sharepoint.

their rolling releases ensure that nothing works, if it does work, it won't next week, and it won't be in the same place for a month straight anyway.

if you happen to be using "bleeding edge" features like information protection/rights management, your workflows will break at least monthly, if not more frequently as every component that touches it gets updated separately and not always in ways that are compatible with anything else.

for example, somewhere towards the end of last month purview document encryption suddenly started applying to PDFs that were synced to libraries that have default protection labels. it didn't before, now it does, no notice, it just started happening. if you use adobe acrobat and have MFA enabled, get hosed because adobe's purview sign-in mechanism doesn't work with MFA.

also, if you want to be able to view or change labels in acrobat, you get to push out a bunch of registry keys with intune, because while acrobat "supports" AIP, the only way to actually turn on the interface elements is with registry keys, for some reason.

the onedrive client is rolling release, their documentation for release builds is constantly out of date, and they will very happily push out broken builds even on the general release channel.

no one tests anything, and while they collect hundreds of megabytes of analytics per day, you can't see any of them to diagnose things because they're all encoded in a proprietary format and microsoft won't provide access. there is a tool available form a 3rd party researcher to decode the logs into a readable format, and it requires python to use.

if you ever need to troubleshoot sync issues, you will need this tool because microsoft support is useless as tits on a bull and i have never once in over a decade of trying had them successfully resolve a ticket

no. lol. it's possible but extremely irritating and the more stuff you have installed the greater the chance it will gently caress up.

the best way is to make a new local offline user through the control panel, which will let you set its short name and thus folder name directly. then you just start using that account and delete the old 5 letter one. do not enter microsoft account details under any circumstances until the new account is finished and you are logged into it. if you link a new account to a microsoft account at the time of creation, or enter your login details at the first run setup screen, it make a 5 letter folder.
