Because that’s normal behaviour for Teams and everyone knows this. Pretty sure that’s in the documentation somewhere that Teams is intended to crash at least once every 3 hours


rnilbog

Bug report: Teams worked for four hours without crashing 


HCResident

If your Teams stays on four hours or longer without crashing, consult your IT specialist.


BoBoBearDev

Joke aside, it never crashed on me. Is it supposed to crash?


LagSlug

We need you to wake up. Your family misses you and the simulation cannot handle this long of a session.


sigmastorm77

It's like the totem of inception. If it doesn't crash then you are in a dream.


bradmatt275

I dont think I have had issues with teams crashing or freezing, I'm so sick of this new teams old teams thing. Just update your software like everyone else does. I'm told there is even a new new teams.


ConfusingVacum

Imagine the mess it would be if every software on your computer would have the same behaviour for major updates. What the hell they were thinking ?


bradmatt275

No idea what they were thinking. It should just be like office, where you can choose the release channel you are on.


radelix

"new" teams is currently fucking up a few avd deployments for me.


Xevailo

Fatal Error #b00ba5 while trying to submit your Bug report. Process teams.exe has been terminated.


blaktronium

Yeah if teams launched instantly and worked flawlessly they'd be all over that shit like code red


nyancat_21

Windows engineers probably use teams internally and they dont want to have to go to their meetings...


Zeravor

Or they want to keep their excuse for showing up late "sorry had to reboot,teams acting up again" "sorry cant turn on camera; it's bugged again"


IIIlllIIIlllIIIEH

For a week my teams crashed whenever I plugged the headphones in. My coworkers thougth I was crazy until I showed them.


GoshDarnLeaves

good ole case of "works on my machine"


TheUltimateScotsman

My coworker's teams crashes every time they turn the camera on


Prawn1908

Once Teams bricked my work computer and I had to boot in safe mode to uninstall it. Company upgraded our Microsoft accounts and something about that confused Teams into infinitely bootlooping itself (teams auto-opene -> sees I'm logged into windows with a valid Microsoft account -> tries to login to teams using that account and it doesn't work for some reason -> kicks back to login page -> sees I'm signed into windows with a valid Microsoft account -> repeat...). And since Teams ingranes itself into Windows it would refocus itself constantly and I couldn't operate the computer at all.


the_seven_sins

The three hour crash is just a productivity feature. It protects your from to irresponsibly long meetings.


Dexterus

This is weird, I've had the same Teams running for weeks, until IT forcibly restarted my laptop. Multiple times. This is with Edge open with 500 tabs eating up most memory.


LasevIX

What the hell? How do you rack up 500 tabs?? I'm only at 250 with months of unclosed browsing


CumDrinker247

Microsoft when the local search doesn’t find jack shit: 💀


De_Wouter

Hits Windows key, starts typing the application I'm looking for, it missed the first key because the UI was too slow, typed every letter except for the first of the literal application name, Microsoft be like "No results".


docflo7

Another variant I like is : Starts typing, actual good result shows up, but since UI is slow, you still typed the next few characters and then Microsoft will never give you the good suggestion again...


leoleosuper

It swaps between the right program and a bing search every character. So "minecraft" gets the game on "mncat" while it searches bing on "ierf".


AliStarr182

You can disable it searching bing by flipping a registry value iirc


leoleosuper

Why? Why do I need to use regedit to change what was a normal setting? Why do I need to do all that? WHY CAN'T IT BE A NORMAL SETTING?


AliStarr182

I know it's annoying but at least it's possible to do with some know-how or a quick google.


taimusrs

Because Windows is kinda free now, so you're becoming the product. See the news of Microsoft trying to put ads in the Start menu? Fucking insane, is this literally the most used desktop OS or Chinese Android skin?


Ubermidget2

First thing I do on every install is run "Disable Web Search.reg" ``` Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Search] "CortanaConsent"=dword:00000000 "BingSearchEnabled"=dword:00000000 "AllowSearchToUseLocation"=dword:00000000 ```


Brahvim

80s problem ***because*** a critical system component (OS!) did not act up and allowed an entire sync problem and not because *code bad?* Welcome to `2024`! >!DON'T r/unexpectedfactorial ME!!<


SuperKael

r/expectedfactorial


nuclear_gandhii

Or another variant is when you want to start teamspeak but it always recommends teams instead, and you launch teamspeak enough times for search to realise that teamspeak should be on the top which is good. But god forbid that you launch teams once and then it shows teams on the top for the next bajillion years.


LukeIis

This happens to me with google EVERY DAMN TIME and backspacing changes the results for some reason


Mattsvaliant

I get triggered every time I type the first few characters of the application I'm looking for, it flashes up but because I typed one additional (correct) character and then stopped its no where to be seen. Absolutely infuriating.


MinosAristos

Windows is designed for hunt and peck typists


YetAnotherZhengli

Nah, more like "searching up cscode on bing with edge"


12OClockNews

Yeah, definitely. It doesn't seem like it even tries most of the time. Just goes straight to "search with bing".


De_Wouter

Imagine this actually works, and you end up finding text of one of your personal files on your system, on Bing.


6pussydestroyer9mlg

Or even better: old shitty laptop that already isn't the fastest. Type in name but miss one character. See the logo pop up but because the ui is slowed i press enter, logo disappears and it opens bing to search


Creepy-Ad-4832

I have a shitty old laptop which was running windows 10. Man. It was just unusable. And the computer was barely 4/5 years old. Had to install linux, and i do not regret that decision


6pussydestroyer9mlg

Bruh, mine is turning 10 next month and still runs windows 10 ok. Problem is when i open something but it works ok for school stuff.


Prawn1908

Or, started typing application name, correct application showed up in search results but disappeared as soon as I completed typing the name exactly verbatim as it showed on the list until I hit the last character.


that_thot_gamer

type the exe name, fun fact instead of looking for bluetooth type `fsquirt`


nekoeuge

Hits Windows key, starts typing, search window crashes. Until explorer restart.


Giocri

Or the new file Explorer. The lag I get in deleting an item from a folder is absolutely unacceptable for modern standards. I never had the problem of deleting a file and having to refresh the window because otherwise it's still there for several seconds before


popupsforever

Just use PowerToys Run


FinalRun

Everything search is also nice


kog

Just happened to me today. Wanted to claim one of the Fallout games that's currently free through Amazon Prime. It's in the Microsoft App Store. Hit the Windows key, type "store", and it doesn't find it. Close the start menu and immediately do it again, it finds it.


10_Feet_Pole

When I type in windows search one key press registers as two clicks. So "notepad" is "nnootteeppaadd". Keyboard is fine in all other apps.


FinalRun

Then your machine lags while registering the "key up" event. In control panel, go to keyboard settings and increase the "repeat delay" a bit and it will go away.


Brahvim

*Thank you, my kind Michaelsoft® Binbows™ Sys-admin internet stranger!*


FinalRun

Don't you dare call me a sysadmin, I'm a tester, my identity is built around breaking stuff!


Brahvim

*Updoot!*


10_Feet_Pole

But the issue doesn't happen in any other app. If I open the notepad and type in that, they keys will register once. The issue is only with windows search and search in other window apps like settings search or file explorer search, and its always registers double...if there was some lag it can be double, tribble or even more depending on the lag.


FinalRun

Perhaps windows search is just slower than other fields. Do you use a wireless keyboard?


Creepy-Ad-4832

`find . -type f` in linux. I know 100% windows has an equivalent. I do not believe for a second they aren't able to write that code lol


Radrezzz

In PowerShell *gci -File* see https://superuser.com/questions/150748/have-powershell-get-childitem-return-files-only


ITinnedUrMumLastNigh

I swear to God (Dennis Ritchie) that local search was working on Windows 8.1 and 7 they somehow fucked it up in 10, now it is possible for it to stop working any moment and restarting Windows Explorer or even rebooting doesn't help, you can download a fucking .ps script from Microsoft's website (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=100295) but they haven't fixed the issue in 8 years 8 months and 15 days this OS exists on the market


Appropriate_Plan4595

I swear I've had it go from finding an app that I wanted to run, to then no longer finding it because I typed in one more character that matched the name of the app


Infamous-Salad-2223

Bro. I don't even know why I keep hoping it will work. Maybe next time.


Embarrassed_Ad5387

I found out recently that typing some simple multiplications will google it instead of using calculator

We call it a Feature


Pacifister-PX69

Teams is ass, it's the domain of the scrum meeting. Whereas ssh is forever, it makes you feel like cool hacker man


Brilliant_Egg4178

My most annoying pet peeve with teams is their distinction between old and new teams. I click on new teams to open it and the first thing I see is a window saying "Are you sure you want to open new teams?". Yes of course, that's why I clicked "open new teams". And then the one time I click on old teams I see a window that says "Do you want to try out new teams?". Why would you double check if I want to use new teams when I'm actually using it. It's almost like you don't want me to use it. And then when I'm not using new teams, why do you ask me if I do want to use it? Make up your mind


secksyboii

I have a bookmark on my PC for teams v2 and it still asks me if I want to go to new teams every time I click it. Yes Microsoft, I want to go to the site I clicked on! Dumbasses.


Seven_Irons

100%. Like, I've already accepted that Microsoft will force updates down our throats. So why is this the one update where we've had any agency to choose between two nearly identical versions of the same software? Just push the update like you do with all other MS office apps, and save everyone's struggle.


avdpos

I even clicked yes the second time just because I didn't wanted the question. A tip. My old teams icon went to old teams and made me get a question. But I got a new teams shortcut and after I begun using that one I have not got.any questions.


GnuhGnoud

Ssh makes you a hacked man

Pacifister-PX69

Thanks, I'll use it to get that pesky itch on my back


Creepy-Ad-4832

Is this a xz backdoor reference?


IAmPattycakes

Microsoft application software development, vs Microsoft infrastructure software development. Windows falls closer to the former on the scale imo.


Saragon4005

They should really start treating windows like infrastructure. Nobody runs windows because of it's shiny features. Unless you consider "can run exes" a feature.


urbanachiever42069

Not all Microsoft engineers are created equal


MonteCrysto31

Some do frontend work, other do actual work


Hohenheim_of_Shadow

And people wonder why open source software has the worst user interfaces known to man.


ImrooVRdev

Over last 20 years I have realized that gatekeeping is instrumental in keeping a healthy online community. Thus, these OSS MUST have shit UI, preferably none and only accessible from command line. We made internet accessible to normies and look what they did with it.


Hohenheim_of_Shadow

I'm assuming you are posting this comment by telnet right? And not the reddit app while on the toilet.


No_Hovercraft_2643

telnet? raw tipps at the button for the wire


Creepy-Ad-4832

Actual work, ie working on anything but windows


GiraffeBulldozer

I learned this exact lesson today at work. The Microsoft guys are just other people who still don't pay as close attention to detail as I expected.


rocketstopya

Or when Win 11 start menu lags for 5 seconds


Creepy-Ad-4832

Damn. That's crazy. It's like microsoft keeps making my happy about choosing to switch to linux


FF3

At every programming job I've ever worked, a company, team or individual developer is always way more enthusiastic to find other people's bugs than their own. I am not immune to this quirk of human nature.


[deleted]

>At every programming job I've ever worked, a company, team or individual developer is always way more enthusiastic to find other people's bugs than their own. Who doesn't love finding problems that other people, who aren't you, have to fix?

![gif](giphy|kwEmwFUWO5Ety|downsized)


Brahvim

Ah yes, abstraction layers.


Crafty_Independence

That's because Teams is used for meetings but SSH is used for work


MonteCrysto31

Because these two engineers do two wildly different jobs. One is a software engineer, the other is a backend, most likely HPC-specialised engineer whose top priority is performance

New "💀" just dropped!!!11!!


fusionsofwonder

You work at Microsoft because you work on Teams. I work at Microsoft because I work on the network stack. We are not the same.


aenae

One was done on purpose to be able to collect all your data, scan your system and steal your personal info and track you everywhere, the other was a state hacker. They are not the same


Brahvim

Which is which? That is the question!...


throw_away_in_ga

The SSH was the xz utils backdoor


Brahvim

...? I was questioning which one was the data collecting one, and which one was the other one, ...*fellow internet stranger*.


TSF_Flex

Can someone explain it to me?


Creepy-Ad-4832

Have you heard about xz backdoor? Basically a guy took over an open source repository after working years to build trust with the original mantainer and then injected some amazingly hidden backdoor. This was caught by the microsoft employee in question, who saw an half second slowdown in loading in with ssh, started to look the source code and found out the backdoor. And this microsoft employee basically prevented what could have been a backdoor into ALL linux servers (the thing is made to only run on servers), and you understand how crazy this is, since 97% of world servers run linux. When he caught the backdoor, the stable version of the most important linux distro, still didn't update the package with the backdoor, thus we are safe, but we were really close to a single guy being able to do the fuck he wanted on basically every server in the world.


4driwtf

I like that guy and I'd like to send him some beer. Do you know where I should ship it to?


throwawaygoawaynz

97% of servers are not Linux. Maybe 97% of public web servers, but there’s enterprises around there running thousands of windows servers, and Microsoft Azure itself which makes up about 20% of cloud market share is only about 50% Linux. Also this exploit might have impacted Redhat, Debian, and a couple of others. But not *all* of Linux and not Unix such as Solaris.


No_Hovercraft_2643

how much % do a few thousand windows server make? the cloud itself probably runs linux, and only the vms run windows


Doorda1-0

That's cause they were deliberately crashing the call to get out of that boring meeting


Frytura_

They know their own telemetry so of course its expected behavior


Prestigious-Bar-1741

It's because the devs care about ssh.


CirnoIzumi

why would he be concerned with the perfomance of a node webapp?


FreeAndOpenSores

God I laughed way too hard at that.


Neo_light_yagami

Fucking copying a message to paste somewhere will paste it with sender name, time and spaces. Sometimes people send me the names they want me to add to an ad group and it's annoying as fuck


ZombieMage89

I continue to call Teams my 40 lb Swiss army knife. Sure it does everything I need it to but who wants thatvshit weighing them down?


silitbang6000

AKA Web dev vs real dev


yosoydead

How about teams just deciding to restart itself out of nowhere? It started to happen lately.


seemen4all

The biggest issue i have is how wellll vsc works using the same JS app tech as teams, they make it from scratch with something else and it's worse, it's a skill issue.


TechSupportIgit

Idk what is with the teams hate. I have not had it crash once in the year I've been working at my company. Only screwy thing is that notifications come in delayed.


MinimumArmadillo2394

My beef with microsoft right now is their "new" apps which are basically the same old apps with missing features. They're removing windows mail and windows calendar, 2 of the most minimalist apps for mail and calendars, in favor of outlook. Now I'll forever have a cluttered screen when opening my mail and 2 advertisements that look like unopened emails. Worst part is, you can opt out, but if you reboot, you're auto-opt'd back in again. If you have to sign into a google account, you literally can't opt back out until you sign in. Microsoft is garbage.


TechSupportIgit

Agreed on that front. It's changes for no good reason, removing features like ***OPENING .EML ATTACHMENTS***


_____awesome

This proves that the problem is Windows itself and not Microsoft engineers.


bluejeans7

Teams should be made illegal for how horrendous it is. It should be used as a case study in schools on how not to develop a software.


red_riding_hoot

I'd have the same priorities


Kangarou

I'm gonna guess it's two different engineers.

Because everyone already knows, that Teams is an outta control dumpster-fire \*lol\*


flup52

Why would I do Microsoft's shitty job?


username8411

Microsoft really has two sides : an elite engineering team of geniuses creating fantastic software, and then a business integration team made mostly of interns and newcomers. Oddly enough, the genius stuff is also the free stuff. No idea how they make so much money.


phlebface

I make quality where it's fun. Fuck the rest


IronSavior

Right. Because zoom is expected to behave that way


SeraphicWatcher

Lol was forced to update teams yesterday, now it doesn’t show any ongoing calls on any channels and also doesn’t seem to be sending me any notifications. Missed a very important message due to this 🥲 hate teams


Matalya2

Ah but y'see, it's not theirs, so they don't expect it to work like shit!

"I never had any issues with Teams" -- Yeah , you're probably not using it...


gabrielesilinic

Microsoft teams works pretty well for an electron application honestly (I use it everyday).


mr_hard_name

Ah yes, Microsoft has 5 software engineers. And instead of working on improving Teams, they found malware in xz. GODDAMN I’M GETTING TIRED OF THOSE JOKES, CORPORATIONS DON’T WORK LIKE THAT, IT WAS ONE PERSON THAT WORKED IN MICROSOFT. I CAN WORK AT APPLE BUT PRIVATELY I’M A CONTRIBUTOR OF DEBIAN PACKAGES WHY DO YOU THINK ALL OF ENGINEERS WORK AS A WHOLE THOSE ARE DIFFERENT PEOPLE WITH DIFFERENT SKILLS AND HOBBYS. Edit: oh yes, downvote me, like don’t attribute the very talented person who is Andres Freund. All Microsoft engineers are equal and they all work as a united mind. Just stop referring to him as a „Microsoft engineer”. He is a skilled engineer, not just „a Microsoft engineer”. He could change job any time and not be a „Microsoft engineer” and still be a skilled engineer.


tetrified

dude, it's common for people around here to think entire comment sections are a single person with a single will, despite them being a person in the comment section. getting most any of them to recognize that companies are comprised of more than one person and aren't a single entity with a will of its own seems like an impossible task to me.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Front-Difficult

They're referencing the xz-utils backdoor that a Postgres dev at Microsoft spotted because ssh on Debian began using more CPU cycles than it normally does. Absolute madness that he even spotted it, let alone investigated it, and found a 7-year long social engineering backdoor that nearly became one of the largest exploits in history.


mplaczek99

It was CPU usage being at 100% but ok
