Problem details:
A friend of mine was playing Osu!lazer and downloaded the most recent update, we played the game together for about half an hour and then exited the game. Upon exit my friend found that all his apps had the osu! logo instead of what they were supposed to be. He tried to open one of the affected apps and it opened osu!. He was not able to solve the issue through a restart and the app had even affected core processes like his settings and browsers. He ended up needing to system reset, wiping his ENTIRE SYSTEM of all downloads. I still don't know if that worked as he has not finished reinstalling things. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE AS YOU COULD IMAGINE.
OSU IS A VIRUS.
Video or screenshot showing the problem:
The person affected could not even screenshot their device and I wasn't smart enough to take a picture through discord. But this is truly an issue and I will be telling everyone I know that Osu is infected with a virus until there is confirmation of this issue being fixed. This occurred on Osu!lazer if that's an important detail.
osu! version: Stable 20230206
Note: It is possible the version listed here by default is incorrect and I don't know the name of the version but it is the latest osu!lazer version. THIS IS NOT A JOKE.
Edit: I may sound like I'm overeacting a bit, I won't be telling people that osu is a virus and stuff like that. Also I'm assuming this is an osu problem and not external but I could be sorely mistaken, please be patient with me as you can imagine it's freaky to see your friends whole computer be taken over by a rythm game in seconds.
Edit 2: This seems to probably be a one off bug on the client side. Thanks for help on this issue, I'd say this is resolved but I don't know if I can do that from my end.
