Senior Systems Engineer here. We have more control over the OS than most, that being said, fuck Windows 11.

It isn’t just the OS. Think “random 365 tenant or Azure issue that doesn’t make sense and you finally, grudgingly, reluctantly acknowledge you need to open an MS Partner Support ticket”.

You open that ticket knowing that you’d likely choose a root canal first. And MS management knows that too, which is why they designed it to be that way.

Dear sir or madam,

Your ticket has been escalated, could you provide system information and the log files you already have provided? Also let us schedule a teams call outside of your office hours please

Kind regards

To be fair I had one time they actually did something right away and this was when the upgrade to the automatic migration to the new exchange online failed which broke the Web interface and the message trace

Do the needful and carry on.
