      What are you doing to them?

      Something most people don’t do. It’s like how Apple can often hold your hand so hard that you can’t leave their preferred path. Windows lets you think it will let you stray without a fight. In niche cases it doesn’t.

      I irreversibly broke my Windows 10 install by changing permissions in the Microsoft Store folders while trying to use WSL.

          All you have to do is change the ownership of all the files in the stores installed folders to yourself instead of the system then the desktop doesn’t load up properly anymore.

      Usually programming. Or trying out an odd peripheral. But other than that, normal usage, it still breaks.
