This is why I don't get excited when I hear some software that I already use and works fine gets an update. More often than not the update makes the software worse.

It used to not be the case, but as of the past decade or so, it seems like more and more software is getting lower quality or substantially bug ridden. Not just on windows either. It's everything now.

Back in the day, each update used to fix bugs, add genuinely useful features, and were eagerly anticipated. Now, I get to do lovely things like RMA a bricked steam deck on stable channel or listen to New Teams' ringer doubling, once before a call is picked up, and ringing again after the phone is answered. I wish I was joking for either of these.
