And this is why I hate Windows in an industry automation environment. Dislike having to troubleshoot why that USB NIC or Serial device being destroyed by plugging it into another port. Had to write a PowerShell script for the USB NIC issue to reapply NIC settings with a reboot.

Also, always locking an open file is repulsive. Other OSs allow for renaming an open file. Not Windows! Thumbs.db being locked because File Explorer keeps the file open / locked preventing deleting an empty folder and wastes so much time waiting for Windows to unlock the file.

You have to pay me to use Windows!
