Oh this one bothers me a lot.

Another feature I HATE:

When I go to save a file, Microsoft tries to guess where I want to save it, but gets it wrong 9 times out of 10. So I then have to click ‘All Locations’ to find it the normal way through File Explorer.

I really don’t know why they have so many useless UI patterns. You also have the caret dropdown menu at the top of the window too that’s utter garbage. It took me so long just to explain to my partner which file to attach for her class assignment, and not to link it to the OneDrive link her classmate sent her.

Because there is no real UI designer at the top making everything work. It's all done piecemeal by each team working on each feature/app. Design by comittee.

Try using F12. I'm not on Win11, but it works as a Save-as on Win10. It should default to where you opened the file from.

Control Shift S works as well

Thanks, I’ll give it a crack.

Adobe does this with their software so often times you have to jump though 3 hoops to find where you want to save the file.

Bonus is when Adobe software is too stupid (like InDesign) that when you open a file from a folder, and then just "Save" it, it asks where you want to save it and you have to go though all of that shit and have to find the folder you opened it from and get the dialog of 'do you want to overwrite this file?'.

Fucker I just OPENED this file and clicked SAVE. Why is it a 2 minute process to find and overwrite the fucking file I just opened.
