the single, most annoying thing about Windows 11 is the uac.
It's impossible to set up a program and permanently allow it to "make changes on the system" without you having to click it away (yes my user is an admin, for a reason*). The only options available is "bug me EVERYtime ANYthing wants to make changes" or "never EVER bug me". Which is so far away from reality that it hurts.
And yes, this is both about Genshin and its stupid fucking anti-cheat-tool and the UAC.
*I don't even know why people are all "omg no your regular user (you, an IT-professional) should definitely NOT have admin rights" like have you seen how Windows behaves? Are you never making any changes like installing a new software? Are you seriously using two user accounts on your computer, and more importantly WHY are you using two different accounts on your computer?
But the underlying issue i tend do get angry about is how people who are clearly "in control" of the computer in the house have NO FUCKING CLUE WHAT THEY'RE DOING.
"Yeah, I bought this computer and had someone else set it up" - what if you need a new software?
"My nephew is doing all the computer related stuff for me" - is he in charge of your fridge, too? Will you call him to change the lightbulb in your fridge? No? Then why do you give him the power over your e-banking, mails and software?
People are so comfortable with using stuff they have no interest in learning how it works and customizing it to their needs that it hurts. I'm okay if you don't fully understand how the wizard machine makes you see images. But at least take the fucking twenty minutes to learn how to access, read and delete your fucking e-mails yourself. Learn what the lights on your modem mean. Learn how to plug in a cable. It is not that hard! And also you can MAKE NOTES! You absolutely are allowed to put a sticker on your modem with an arrow reading "if this is not green, then turn off power and wait 10 seconds before turning it on again".
You wouldn't use a car without know- you know what, most of you probably really only know what the two pedals and steering wheel do. Why do I even care.
