    I’m guessing this is a misleading post? Probably a random app in the store that’s called “terminal” that is broken and the actual windows command prompt is working fine.

      I maintain over a hundred windows 11 machines. I recently push new software that I had to manually configure on each machine. While doing this I checked for problems. Over half had terminal and other programs like notepad installed separately. All the machines are in a domain environment but windows 11 ignores many of the GPO’s I have in place. Its pathetic and just a reason to have to do more work. So I have no problem believing that terminal had been installed and then disabled due to some microsoft account nonsense.

      Can confirm this is an actual issue from Microsoft impacting lots of normal system apps that update via the Microsoft Store and/or Windows Update.

      I’ve seen it mess up Notepad, Snipping Tool to name a few.

      It’s pretty egregious that a bug like this can mess up utilities already installed on your computer.

      Windows is really feeling like a single-player video game that requires an always on connection.

          They’re preparing to rent people desktop access over the internet. Gotta trim up that you don’t own shit store code.

      Hating windows is the ultimate karma farm here on Lemmy. If you can somehow hate windows and Trump in one post, expect to see that shit at the top.
