Let me get this right. MSoft launched an update for Copilot that breaks AMD's software and, instead of blaming MSoft for launching an update that, yet again, breaks another third party software or turn it into a joke ("Will MSoft ever launch an update that doesn't brake something?"), you take this chance to what, attack AMD for having a modern looking suite instead of the old and commonly criticized Nvidia outdated one?

Ok.

I don't know, maybe the problem lies in WIndows 11, something that many seem to agree with given how few have made the jump from Win10:

Two years after launch Windows 11 adoption is still waaaay behind Windows 10

Windows 10 still utterly dominates the desktop PC operating system market, despite Windows 11 having been around for 2 years now. And there's not much sign of this changing any time soon.

We all love a nice bunch of statistics to pour over and pick apart, but right now Microsoft must be looking at these figures on StatCounter (via TechSpot) and be absolutely hating them. Why? Because they suggest people, as individuals and as a business, really aren't into Windows 11 at all.

With the numbers now updated for September 2023, we can see the global uptake of Microsoft's latest operating system has been stagnant since April 2023, and there doesn't seem to be any indication that this will change.

Not only that, but the market share paints a dismal picture: 71% for Win10, just 24% for Win11, and 3% for Win7 (with the rest being XP, 8.1, and so on). The figure for Windows 10 has barely changed in twelve months and it's only the decline of Windows 7 that has benefited the newest version.

But why is it that only AMDs stuff breaks and not Nvidia? If this was the first time Windows update broke something Radeon related, fair enough but it isn't.  It happens fairly frequently. If Microsofts update broke both AMD and Nvidias drivers, fair enough but they don't. Not to mention we have seen those other issues where Windows somehow manages to overwrite AMDs most recent drivers so you get a warning message:

Imo I'd rather have Nvidia's 1998 UI that almost never breaks than needing to constantly worry about AMDs "modern" UI. Ideally of course, Nvidia would update their UI so it looks modern while AMD would update their drivers so it would stop breaking from Windows updates. We all know Microsoft is a trash company but if Nvidia found a way to prevent their drivers from breaking via Windows update, AMD can too.

You're kidding, right?

On my previous laptop, it broke down all the time for various reasons. I was forced to make an Nvidia account just to get my laptop running again.
