The password icon being invisible is just funny. Some of the other issues are actually problematic, as they may interfere with some workflows.

However if you go to the December 1. (https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/december-1-2025-kb...) the icon is still missing. How hard is that to fix? Aren't they using CoPilot? Just ask it to fix the invisible icon.

Probably not a priority.

    int Counter = 5;
    while (--Counter >= 0 && Prompt("Take a screenshot. Do you see a lock icon on this picture? Answer "Yes" or "No". Be concise. No fluff. Refrain from saying 'You’re absolutely right'. Try to ignore stuff that looks like lock icons in the background.") != "Yes") {
        // Try resetting the icon
        LockScreenLockIconSet("fa fa-lock"); 

        LockScreenForceRedraw();
        Sleep(2000);
        // We've seen better results when refreshing a second time after a delay. Don't know why. AI suggested it.
        LockScreenForceRedraw();
    }

They would, but no-one in the development team are able to log into their PCs due to no longer being able to locate the password icon ...

Maybe that's the problem? Imagine a Microsoft employee allowed to program only by using a CoPilot prompt, screaming and begging to just apply a patch he already written without touching anything else :D

This might not be too far from what's happening. In the dotnet repos you can see MS employees constantly fighting it across hundreds of PRs: https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/pull/120637

  lmao. They had an AI create a PR, then a human to review it, but then the human ended up using another AI to review the original AI.

  Looking that that PR and the interaction with CoPilot I struggle to see how it wouldn't have been easier to simply sidestep the AI.

  I never laughed so hard from watching a PR's comments.

  Seeing Copilot says this over and over again was hilarious: "The current implementation requires a complete rewrite..."

Sometimes the icons in the dock are also invisible. I thought that it was my RDP client playing bad with the server on Windows but eventually I found bug reports about that. This is exactly what I see 50% of the times https://www.reddit.com/r/Windows11/comments/1bdgym6/windows_...

My experience with Microsoft fixing bugs in Win 10: at least 6 months. At first they deny it, then, after a fix is issued, they acknoledge it.
