The entire ms office suite has become the worst for this. No I don't want to save this document into the generic documents folder of my OneDrive, or into poorly named folders that do not show any file tree whatsoever. Don't make me click 4 different places just to get back to a normal save as dialog box so I can put it in neatly organized folders like they're supposed to be.
Been helping with multiple friends with their laptops. Windows 11 systems and the directories are all fucked up. Windows wants everything synced to Onedrive and so when you click on downloads or something it goes to onedrive's downloads and so forth. It's fucking hell I have to delete onedrive and find \documents again and try to pin it in the file explorer side panel to make it so it's useful again.
Isn't this operating system supposed to be noob friendly? If they figure out how to go back to windows 10 22h2 then they can probably find out where the directories are already.
Btw, all these computers are stock and not modified.
It got so much worse with the heavy suggesting of OneDrive and Microsoft intentionally misleading people into thinking they've successfully clicked out of using OneDrive.
Even worse when it’s buried in a hidden folder, and for some reason Windows keeps disabling the “view hidden folders and files” option with every single update.
Thank God there is that recent folder you can access in the "Home" thing, whatever that means. 9 times out of 10 it's in my Documents folder. Who the fuck wants a Documents folder? I put documents in a file structure according to where they belong. Downloads is the pit of the forgotten.
