Pavan Davuluri, the current head of Windows at Microsoft, posted on X that the future of Windows is “evolving into an agentic OS.” This post came just weeks after Microsoft reorganized its Windows division to prepare for an AI-powered version of the operating system.
The idea is that Windows will not just run apps but will act like an AI assistant that can take actions for you, as stated by Windows Central. Microsoft has been teasing this AI-driven Windows concept for months now, calling it the future of computing.
The response isn’t just from a few angry users. It’s widespread. In almost every article or thread about the “agentic Windows,” the reaction has been mostly negative. According to the report by Windows Central, one user directly asked Microsoft, “You are getting overwhelmingly negative feedback about all this AI stuff. And yet you persevere. Why?”
Beyond the AI push, users are angry that Windows keeps getting more unstable. Constant updates are breaking things even though there’s a preview program meant to stop that. One frustrated X user wrote, “It’s evolving into a bug-ridden slop pile ... You guys have utterly destroyed it.” They want Microsoft to fix the basics first — speed, stability, privacy — before adding more AI, as stated by Windows Central.
Users don’t want to use Copilot, OneDrive, or Microsoft Accounts anymore because they’ve been burned too many times. Over the years, Microsoft has cancelled many products and ignored feedback, making customers lose faith. People believe if Microsoft had treated them better before, they wouldn’t need to use “dirty tactics” or force features today.
A fun but painful fact: Windows 11 is the only major OS that forces you to sign in online during setup. Every other system — Android, iOS, macOS, Linux, Chrome OS — gives you a choice to use it locally. This has become a symbol of how controlling and user-unfriendly Windows now feels.
People want a simple, stable, respectful Windows — not an “AI agent.” Unless Microsoft pulls back on the AI obsession and focuses on fixing Windows itself, users may continue to turn away, as per Windows Central. For now, the message from the internet is loud and clear, “Nobody asked for this.”
Many users say they don’t want an AI-controlled Windows and want Microsoft to fix bugs, stability, and ads instead of forcing new AI features.

Massive online backlash over AI-Powered Windows
Davuluri’s post triggered a huge wave of backlash online. Almost every reply said the same thing: “Nobody wants this.” One person wrote, “Stop this non-sense. No one wants this.” Another said, “Bro, straight up, nobody wants this.” Only a small handful of users showed excitement for the idea. Most said Microsoft is not listening to its customers.The response isn’t just from a few angry users. It’s widespread.

Users say Microsoft should fix windows, not fill it with AI
Many feel Windows has become “enshittified” — filled with unwanted changes and ads. Users complain that Microsoft is forcing things like Microsoft Account, OneDrive, and Copilot into the system just to make more money. As one person said online, “Windows isn’t free, so none of this is acceptable.”Beyond the AI push, users are angry that Windows keeps getting more unstable.

Microsoft’s AI obsession is making users lose trust
The company has gone “AI crazy”, cutting budgets in other areas like Xbox and Surface just to fund AI projects. Many users feel every Microsoft product is getting worse because of this one-track AI focus. Internally, the mindset seems to be: “If it’s not AI, it’s not important.”Users don’t want to use Copilot, OneDrive, or Microsoft Accounts anymore because they’ve been burned too many times.
