Microsoft Windows. I lose 10-20 minutes 1-5x a day just logging in to Windows in the NHS...

I second that. I loose 5 to 10 minutes every time I want to change a network setting. No idea how it got messed up so bad. What used to be two mouse clicks away from the desktop in XP is now hidden away by the "settings" app that doesn't contain any settings at all.

Funny thing is, the real settings app in windows is still more or less the same as xp and still just two clicks away. I think they just put the new fake settings app in there to fool people.

You can still open Control Panel in Win10 and get the prior behavior, almost. I just Start menu search for it and done.

I hope the other side of this pandemic NHS finally get their computer system replaced and not reliant on a single proprietary OS or DB.

I imagine if one were to add up all the estimated time wasted using that system and compare it to writing a client agnostic one from scratch it would probably turn out to be a massive saving.

I hope they don't try and do another massive centralised system. It failed before and will fail again.

And then when you just want to shut down your laptop so you can put it away but Windows insists on spending 20 hours installing updates first...

[Jaruzel]

I think it's commonly accepted that it's the NHS IT infrastructure that's b0rked, and not Windows per se.

I remember one site where I would arrive in the morning and login. Then go downstairs, cross the street to Starbucks, queue up, buy a cup of coffee and if I was lucky the login would have finished by the time I got back.
