Seems like quite an important drive to have access to. They should probably try to fix that. imo
There must be something really seriously wrong at Microsoft. I can understand that Windows patches are complex and that they might break some of those crazy things people are running on their machines. But how is a bug that is killing access to the C:\ drive able to get through testing? WTF are they doing?
It's going to come out that there's AI in the code. And the code testing was done by AI, who gave the buggy code the green light.
Or worse: AI is doing the QA as well
What QA? Microsoft's QA was always the CEO demoing the latest repository head on stage.
They at least used to be embarassed by a live BSOD.

They don’t need testing because they tell the ai to not make any errors

It's Microslop. This is what's wrong. Also, that they fired too much of the testing staff in favor of (user-)testing rings.

I like how, once AI is invented, there is never a problem that isn't AI related.
Microsoft made broken shit before AI, it isn't like they suddenly lost that capability once AI was invented.
It's more like the old adage but extended: "To err is human, to really foul things up you need a computer, but to make an unbelievable mess you need an AI."

Huh, my computer doesn't seem to be affected.
I'm using Arch, btw.
I think I'm affected because I can't access the C: Drive.
I'm using Debian, btw.
I think I'm affected because I can't locate a c: drive.
I'm using Mint, BTW.

Microsoft believes the issue may be related to the Samsung Share application, although the exact cause has not yet been confirmed.

They need to rapidly reduce the complexity of their software if they want to get this under control. The answer is NOT to add more features, it’s to simplify things.
They aren't capable of doing that.
Source on that is me, I worked for MSFT during the rollout of Windows 8 and the 360 red ring nightmare.
They're internally wayyyyy too culty and cliquey.
Everyone has to do things the MSFT way, and the MSFT way is team leads all leading their own thing and arguing about why its so cool and necessary.
The culture is diametrically opposed to simplifying things and reorienting around a fundamentally minimized, more stable core system.
Everything has to be able to plug into as many other things as possible, which creates insane nested dependency loops and chains that they fuck up all the time.

Never again, Windows.
Microslop.
We just had this month's Patch Tuesday and they're still dealing with problems caused by last month's?! I really need to try harder to convince my father putting Linux on his current computer is a better idea than buying a Windows 11 computer.
