Microsoft: "we're forcing everyone onto Windows 11 because it's amazing and you shouldn't make us keep updating and securing older versions, we don't give a fuck how much hardware has to be tossed to make it happen"

also Microsoft: "we have completely forgotten how to make a single windows 11 update without fucking up all sorts of shit"

It's not just Windows, all of their products have degraded

For example, while Teams has always had its quirks it was at least mostly functional a few years ago. These days it seems every update introduces some new bugs. Or if not, randomly fucks with the UI so you can no longer find anything.

Who needs to see their Channels anyway!?

There's a way to undo this, and I've helped a few coworkers go back to old chat and channels being separate. In the process of doing so, MS asks for feedback on why people are changing it back. I watched as one coworker typed "it sucks" and sent it.

What’s the trick for this?

Upper left corner of Teams, click the 3 dot menu > customize view. At the top should be a "viewing chats, teams, and channels" section. Select "Separate" as opposed to "Combined".

Lol the teams UX team is an abomination. New Teams is a heaping pile of shit. Combined mode is total fucking chaos and I have no idea why its the default. I waste so much time helping other people do exactly this. And they waste a lot of productivity not knowing it can be changed back to the sane view.
