So…yeah. Seems MS, in their endless wisdom has decided to rename their virtual desktop software, called before as “Remote Desktop” (and good luck trying to find issues with that that are not related to the old RDP tool MTSC.exe) to… “Windows App”. Perfect. Now everything will look like everything, and there’s no way to ever try to search for help for it. Next in line, I guess they can call it just “App”. I’m sure that will help everyone.

        AI still uses SEO or it’s database equivalent to figure out what you’re talking about about. Or to scan for new info - which they currently do

      They don’t want you searching it. They want you to pay them to fix it. With Ai presumably

        AI still needs to be able to identify the thing you’re asking about. The AI still searches for things if it’s not already in its memory-it even tells you when it’s scanning different sources.

        That all breaks with bad seo

      This would probably matter more if every search for “windows 10 problem XY” wouldn’t turn up 100% garbage from their support forums anyway.

      Yes, but I feel that’s strategic to make us feel we need AI to do the work for us.
