Windows is the much more difficult OS AFAIK. Even something simple like having keyboard focus follow mouse is a giant pain and doesn't work well (pop up dialogs can be painful). I hate windows and managed to mostly avoid it until I switched jobs in 2017.

Ah, I see you have seen the UAC prompt as well.

Plenty of modal dialogs flat out don't work with keyboard follows mouse. But now that you mention it, its windows dialogs (not from 3rd party apps) that seem to be the most problematic.

Yes, I do agree. The one that haunts my dreams: the credentials one 😤. Credentails come up and you start typing and... nothing.. god damn it, not again!

I think it's obvious I'm a sysadmin 😂.
