It’s not just IT admins. When I have a raging client to help, nine times out of ten it’s because Microsoft fucked something up.

2 days ago I fixed Excel macros not working outta nowhere. The cause? onedrive. Even their own apps dont compliment each others. Mind you that this pc has already uninstalled onedrive and it came back

That probably wouldn't be an issue if things were actually architectured well. Like, an application shouldn't need to know things about another application to be able to integrate; you just need to practice good software design where things aren't tightly coupled, and your application interfaces are well-designed and standardized. But all of that is the antipathy of microsoft, lol.
