Microsoft is hellbent on stuffing Windows 11 with AI — and many feel that this is coming at the expense of the operating system’s usability. That aggrieved sentiment now seems more vindicated than ever, after Microsoft rolled out a new update that prevented users from shutting down their PCs — a core functionality that there should be zero excuses for not working. The patch, released on January 13, was the first security update of the new year, and ultimately created more issues than it fixed. This created a potential security risk for devices left unattended, not to mention an unnecessary strain on the power bill. The buggy update comes as Microsoft is facing more and more heat for its Ahabian monomania for AI.
