Windows deleted all my custom themes after an update. Fuck Microsoft.
Yesterday, I installed an update called "Windows 11, version 25H2". Per se, this is already weird enough, since I've been running that version for almost a year by now. Today, when I booted up my PC, I noticed that ALL my custom themes are completely gone! I've also looked in the themes folder under AppData, nothing. This piece of shit of an operating system just decided to wipe all the themes I had made, with custom cursors, sounds, everything.
Now, it's probably going to take about five minutes to restore them, but I'm pissed at what passes testing nowadays, because it wasn't even an Insider build, it was a STABLE version! Does this mean that now I can expect every update I install to break something? What's next? Is Windows 26H2 going to delete all my browser bookmarks? In 27H2, maybe it's my Passkey's turn.
Oh, and while I was writing this post, I also noticed that my fingerprint reader has stopped working. I'm pretty sure it's not a hardware failure, since I've never moved my computer in the last few days, and the Device Manager still detects it. Now I'm going to install Debian and see if it works there. Regardless of that, I'm going to stay on Linux. Tired of a multibillon dollar company that tests their OS worse than a community of volunteers.
Update: I managed to find my themes in the Windows.old folder, so no data is lost, it was just annoying to find. It still sucks tho, and I've found no solution for the fingerprint reader, but that's matter for another post.
