In the future, when Windows users say "advanced users can turn that crap off" they'll mean the power button, not the group policy editor.
The clock should be used for entertainment purposes only
AI hallucination with time, and randomly hallucinated alarms should be fun.
GPOs already suck and MS is forcing admins to adopt program rules out of Intune to get the same effect. See CoPilot GPO failures for further depth.
Microsoft: “We want to fix Windows and make it great again!”
The fix:
Everyone keep helping more people switch to Linux and help them be part of in-person/online groups. To discuss Linux, and get help where needed.
What follows is our plan to raise the bar on Windows 11 quality this year, with a focus on performance, reliability and well-crafted experiences.

Only thing that could possibly help would be him falling out a window on-top of the guy that would replace him. Maybe third in line isn't a chud
Nadella won't be satisfied until he maps everyone's enter key to fuckong copilot.
What was that about Windows K2 again? Ah, who cares
They gave up, K2 is a tougher climb than Everest.
It takes Windows 11 a minute to load the "control panel" window... just hangs.
Re-release XP and be done with it, you're bad and you should feel bad.
Set alarm for 10am
OK setting alarm for 20am
I think instead of the computer showing you the time, they should replace the clock program with a chat prompt so you can ask the computer to guess what the time is
Instead of numbers it will show an AI-generated image of a text blur
Oh look , it's Э o'clock
I thought microsoft wanted to put less ai in their shit? Who would have thaught.
Can't they just make tabbed file explorer work properly instead?
this is a joke… right?
Jesus Christ. First they fucked over notepad and introduced dozens of application breaking new bugs and broke decades of existing functionality, now they're thinking about breaking the damn clock ?
Wait, no, they've already broken the clock in windows 11 because it no longer shows seconds, and doesn't respond to clicks on non primary displays.
I guess they decided it wasn't broken enough.
I'm getting so sick of their shit, and my employer locks down my laptop so tightly that I can't run any 3rd party software too, so I can't even install my own clock application.
I wish horrible things on everyone who works at Microsoft.
...the new Clock app will also have some AI features powered by the NPU in the newer Windows PCs...
So you need Neural Processing Unit (NPU) to get this. So if you don't have one. You can't use the new clock app. So what's the problem?
A system prompt hints at local AI-powered productivity features, specifically optimized for students. For example, the Clock app’s Focus session will act as a ‘Productivity’ assistant that breaks down tasks into clear, actionable steps, and it works by inferring the task category, then referencing the coursework of the student.
It would be great if there were a way to use AI to help people learn more effectively. But this feels like a way to train young people to become dependent on AI assistance for tasks/skills we humans used to be able to do well enough without AI. An addiction, rather than an assistant.
But why the clock app? I mean there is already Microsoft To-Do app specifically for reminders and tasks organisation...
The "old" clock app already had a Pomodoro feature (which I did not realize existed until recently) and you can argue this is a logical progression, I guess.
Isn't that a hair style?
This is a fcking joke! I'm so sick of Microslop integrating AI into fcking everything. I just want to use my PC without any of this bloat. It just gets worse and worse. I can't believe they would do somethi..... wait a minute... I'm using linux. Nevermind then.
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
