Windows 10: Microsoft software and hardware is useless

I just wasted 10 hours on making a video in Microsoft 10's "Photos" app.


Problems I encountered:


- my video kept stopping abruptly, freezing

- the program would crash

- my project disappeared without a trace, resetting and repairing the app in the computer's 'settings' did nothing to help

- when I tried to export the video, it was all fuzzy purple/pink with just audio

- had to troubleshoot that problem, that took me half an hour to fix

- tried to export the video again, this time I got both my visuals and audio but it cut off at the end

- added an extra clip to cushion the end of the video

- video still cut off at the same place when I tried to export it

- program crashed again

- now the video project has disappeared... again


Needless to say, I will NEVER be using any Microsoft products ever again. What absolute garbage. Never buy a Microsoft computer or any Microsoft program! Total rip off.
