It's 2025, and I have to prompt an LLM no less than 5 times to figure out how to add a new keyboard layout to Windows Server 2025, becase 1) the UI turned absolutely shit 2) the built-in search is optimized for ads instead of discovering functionality.

Also, Disk Management is gone, and you get no meaningful results for "disk" in the Start Menu. But when you *right click* the Start icon it's there. Why would it be so hard to make this discoverable by search (or leaving a shortcut with the original name)??

@buherator that just means we need to get LLMs more tightly integrated into Windows Server... /s

@mumblegrepper I wouldn't be surprised if this was the actual strategy...

@buherator It could be worse, they could do something like "clicking one ad let you do local searching of one application".

@joxean Don't give them ideas please!

@joxean @buherator Install $ShadyCandyCrushRipoff on your Domain Controller to disable ads domain wide!
