This is not the problem with 11, this is the problem with Microsoft as a whole... Plex is the same way... they want to keep adding new crap yet there are still known bugs they still haven't fixed...

[@Britec09]

That is a fair point

[@neccros007]

@@Britec09 I still deal with a drive mapping bug in 10 and I presume 11 that MS doesn't seem to realize its there.

[@williamlinington9166]

I agree.

[@josephputra2987]

okay I'll keep the 10, while waiting window 11 is literally stable😅

[@truckwrecker6822]

Everybody seems to forget that microsoft fired all its' testers at least 10yrs. ago. The licencee (customer)is the tester.

[@Britec09]

I know, that is one of the big problems

[@dingokidneys]

This makes every new feature and update an alpha release.

[@OlettaLiano]

Another thing MS does is not honor our settings. They just change things the way they want them. The other day I got an update, and suddenly GTA online began hard crashing. I went to Steam to validate the GTA files and 34 files didn't validate. It turned out the update changed Windows Firewall settings and it was blocking my game files. So I had to go through and give them all permissions, and like magic, all files validated and the game stopped crashing. There's still a few minor micro stutters I need to figure out. But at least the game is running again.

[@Britec09]

I agree, thanks for sharing

[@mikaelandersson4797]

You were spot on when you said that they can't just leave it alone once it's stable. Totally agree! Currently on win10 and will stay there until the end of free security updates. I'm using my system mainly for creating music and for me, stability is everything. I also rather have little older tried and tested hardware than dealing with problems that comes with a new platform. Thank's for a great channel!

[@Britec09]

stability is no1 for me

[@billyguthrie3176]

yep an the reliability history of many a computer reflects just that!

[@rickriccled6034]

Same here mate,my main laptop is purely for music making and I’m not going to upgrade to W11 as I’m happy with Windows 10 as it is,if necessary in a year or so I’ll buy a new pc with windows 11 on it and see how I go then,there’s no doubt Microsoft meddle with their OS’s far to much,I know a lot of people abandoning Windows for Linux and IOS,I have 2 old laptops on Linux Mint and Zorin 16 and they work fine for basic stuff but I can’t make music with those as it’s too complex and awkward,so I shall keep using W10 as long as I can.

[@ArifGhostwriter]

Can I ask - why 'until the end of free security updates'? Surely the approach will be just to use it, regardless of the (stupid destabilising) updates?

[@Deathwalker666666]

​@@Britec09 you forget that MS fired their internal testing division so they could use consumers as a guinea pigs for their patches made with the help of their simulated AI this is one of the reasons why i switched to Linux. And yes i know that Linux is community driven which means that the Linux users are also the beta testers. But here is the thing on Linux the fixes are usually released way faster for those problems than on windows. Also Microsoft releasing updates with bloat that brakes the OS is nothing new since that crap started with windows XP.

[@DaystromDataConcepts]

I've found that Microsoft focus more on "new features" and visual tweaks than stability. They believe that users are happiest when they have something new and shiney to convince them that Windows is being updated throughout its life cycle. And, to be sure, there are users out there that believe that if they don't get something changed or tweaked, or some useless new feature appear, that Windows has been abandoned. Alas, we live in a culture where we're always wanting the latest thing and Microsoft, in part, is falling into this mindset. For years I've advocated stability over new shinies, function over form and yet Microsoft continue to release clumsy updates. The optics here are not good, not good at all. However, MS simply don't care. If they did, we wouldn't wait 15 months for a fix. They don't care because they've captured the market years ago. Companies that have no serious competition become lazy and arrogant and this is what has happened to Microsoft. Just look at Intel for the decade before AMD struck back with Ryzen. Unfortunately, although Linux exists, it's not any serious threat to the dominance of Windows on a global scale and Microsoft know it.

[@davinp]

They don't listen to feedback given in the feedback hub. I think that their priority is focused on business & enterprise users rather than the home users. Instead of adding new features that no one wants, they should focus on improving the interface to make it consistent across the operating system and fix bugs

[@droz74]

They care about shareholders. Everything you said is exactly what shareholders love. "oh a new feature" "oh it looks different now" are all things that shareholders want to see to know that their investments are "growing". Meanwhile most users want consistency and reliability. I see this all the time with companies, not just Microsoft. Just push the unstable and untested design and fix the problems later. It's a terrible practice and I can't believe they're getting away with it.

[@bobfs8891]

@@droz74 They get away with it because people will buy into anything they want that's shove at them. The new shiny object is often the reason.

[@DevilbyMoonlight]

some well known game developers do exactly the same thing bring out features while not fixing the bugs that have been around for years.

[@woodylinder338]

I've not experienced the file explorer problem. But, what bothers me, is that apps like Co-Pilot, Edge, the cell phone link (that you have to sign in to use), etc. gives Microsoft a great way to mine your data to sell. I don't use any of that stuff or an account, and uninstall them whenever I can. Thx for the update.

[@SurfCityDurban]

I agree 100%. I've not had the explorer problem mentioned in your video but I've seen it happen on client machines. I'm an old IT Pro and never update on Patch Tuesdays and/or cumulative updates on the second Tuesday of the month, even though I'm on the Insider Program. I will wait at least a week in the hope that MS will release a fix the following week, but that's being a tad too optimistic. In general, it takes MS at least a year to release bug fixes and other stuff that's broken. As you correctly stated, Microsoft release patches to fix problems that often breaks other stuff so It's good to keep up to date with the forums to see what other people report. I always make a restore point and a registry export as backup before any updates.

[@elliottlaporte]

I purchased a Geekkom Mini IT 13 based on your previous video (used your £40 discount code btw - cheers!). Given it came with Windows 11 I thought would give it a real try but I've had to wipe the drive and roll back to 10. Even if you don't encounter a bug, 11 just gives off a feeling of lacking polish or running beta code. Even Vista with its unfortunate bad rep didn't feel like this. Not sure if it's the rounded window edges, the gaudy icons or the modern UI elements but it just smells of unreliability. XP had its blue Fisher Price theme and massive security holes until SP2, but it didn't feel this unfinished and 11 is now over 2 years old. It's a shame because I bet all the latest CPU performance tweaks are going into 11. Just like how Edge or Teams has become though, I don't expect Microsoft to back tread and trim the feature set down for 12. It will just be a revamp to the UI and more of the same. Well done for pointing it out and voicing the opinion of us IT guys - you never know with your 783K subs, Microsoft may be listening.

[@rwhunt99]

You nailed it, they feel they need to "improve" when there really is no reason to update. the operating system should be a mature O/S so bringing in something that brakes you system is absolute nonsense, but they don't care.

[@Britec09]

Every update breaks something

[@ygrpz]

I didn't experience any file explorer or wifi issues. The only noticeable issue I had was with Copilot. When I first got it it didn't want to launch sometimes and was lagging. After one or two updates that went away and I haven't had any noticeable issues other than lagging when I have too much stuff running in the background. That has been my experience with Windows 11. Thanks for the continued tips and tricks.

[@isa_L]

windows 11 has huge problem with WiFi driver, they Got the wrong driver installed, and sometimes an Old Driver is installed during Update.

[@router5840]

Merry Christmas Bri thanks for the helpful information.

[@gags730]

Don't have these issues because I haven't switched from 10 yet. Most people I know really do not want to switch to 11.. a much greater percentage than I have ever seen. They don't want to go through it again. There comes a time when you don't need or want anything more.

[@ajflink]

Or postpone it until Windows 11 is an actual OS and not an indefinite beta-test.

[@WaItJabsco]

The joy of paying to beta test a Microsoft product, its been like this for as long as I can remember. 🤔

[@Britec09]

Been since windows 10

[@ajflink]

My problems with it: 1) Interface is overly stylized and seems to mimic some weird hybrid of a smartphone interface with combination of MacOS and Windows 10. 2) Changing the right-click interface makes no sense and is not intuitive. The options that I want to select always seem to be under Show More Options. You can change the registry to make it so that Windows 11 uses the classic right-click menu and will not display whatever on Earth the default is. This would not be an issue if there was an option that right-click menu that Windows 11 has automatically can be changed to something more akin to Windows 10 or the classic right-click menu. This is still not an option in Windows 11. 3) You cannot change it so that clicking the Windows icon displays an alphabetical list of your applications/programs. You need to first click the icon. Then, click "All apps". You need to do some changes as Admin via Command Prompt to change this. There is no built in option to change this. 4) The GUI is geared heavily towards touchscreen users over mouse and keyboard users. There is no separate mode for touchscreen vs non-touchscreen. 5) Where options are in Settings is more obtuse and some seem confusing. 6) Windows 11 left as default is more demanding than Windows 10 left as default. 7) UI animations should not be enabled by default. 8) Unless you know how to use Terminal/Command Prompt or code, you stuck with some settings as mentioned prior. 9) Windows 11 messes with programs that range from minimal to making them non-functional. 10) The GUI is very similar in concept to ChromeOS. The sliverlining that is not as bad as ChromeOS. 11) Windows 11's default browser (Microsoft Edge) is essentially bloatware and you should disable it as much as possible and use any browser aside from it.

[@mikerobins219]

The job of any OS is to get and keep out if the way whilst the userdies what they want to do. However Microsoft insists on changing the OS with extra ' features' instead of just fixing bugs.

[@iheartjetaviation2764]

Hi Brian. Spot on as you always are. I commented on one of your earlier videos about switching to Windows 11 (worth it or not?). There is not one single feature in Windows 11 that mitigates Microsoft's idiocy in changing File Explorer. I would just love to meet the pencil-necked-geek who decided that eliminating the Move To/Copy To from the file handling menus was a good idea! Where was the moronic, common sense black hole that they were sucked up by, just so I know not to drive into it! And apparently, all of his/her buddies found it to be equally "genius" as well, seeing as though they have never reversed that issue. BTW, I love what you said about MS feature updates. Installing something new will almost assuredly break something else.

[@ShadowzGSD]

thanks for the info, i wondered what was going on. i keep coming home from work to find file explorer open a few times a week. glad i now know the reason for it, thanks.

I got an automatic update from Debian 12.3 to 12.4 about a week ago which resulted in the new default kernel failing to boot to the desktop. I rebooted and selected the previous kernel version and everything came up again. A couple of days later a new update came out, I applied it and all is running as it should again. I've been running this Debian install for 10 years - yes, really - and just updating/upgrading as new stuff comes out. This was the first time that I've ever had a bad update. Getting back to work just required me to select the previous known good kernel from the Grub boot loader screen. This is the sort of stability that I'm sure many Windows users would dream of.

[@Techno-Universal]

One major problem I encountered was that USB-C Apple devices would constantly disconnect and reconnect when plugged into a USB-C port on my laptop. That issue vanished after the most recent Windows 11 update but it pretty much made it impossible to transfer data between your IOS devices and PC with a cable if you were using a USB-C port on your PC.

[@NTPTM]

Hej Brian good video yes it there needs to be a much more testing internally at Microsoft before they release updates and features updates I also think that Microsoft is in too much of a hurry to release new things for Windows 11. And it's a bit like that when we have patch tuesday or optional updates so one wonders what might be breaking now in Windows that you also mention. It will be too much new things and i personally think that Microsoft should not release so many new things all the time give people a chance to get used to some new things first in Windows 11. As for Windows 10 i think Microsoft should offer a free extension and don't charge regular users. I run Windows 10 and also Windows 11 but i not gonna pay for Windows 10 later when mainstream suport ends. I wish you A Mary Christmas And A Happy New Year and all the others.

[@ronbpix]

I noticed this issue happening in the full version of Win11 but never saw it in Tiny11. Most probably it's one of their bloatware that's causing it. 😅

[@ricklakes9405]

I would have to agree with you on everything you said. M.S keeps playing with things till it's broke and wow 15 months to fix an issue, Geez.

[@piggsinablankie]

Windows history for most versions… 1) Release new operating system as a buggy mess 2) Most users stick with previous version 3) Over a number of years, countless patches finally make the new release usable and stable 4) World is happy for a short time using a very stable system 5) Release next new operating system as a buggy mess...rinse and repeat Most of my customers are still using Windows 10 (small to medium businesses). If I had to give an estimate of how many use Windows 11, it would be about 10%, and most of those were done by upgrade “accidents”. That is, when Microsoft tells them they have an "update", and the standard user does it upgrading their system from 10 to 11 (then I get calls saying WTH happened to my system). The people I deal with just want to do their jobs with no issues and go home. They don’t want to deal with computer glitches, and learning a new OS. That’s why I’ve always recommended staying on the older, stable Windows for as long as possible, until you just can’t do it anymore. I’ve had a small handful still using Windows 7, but that’s going to the other extreme.

[@billyguthrie3176]

I agree i think they need to be focusing on performance and appearance. Makes sense because Who doesn't want their new car to look as awesome as it actually is! If they'd stop jacking around their operating system would perform like a finely tuned performance car that users couldn't wait to make it look the way they envision!

[@rickh8380]

I agree with you Brian. Micro$haft has gotten lazy over the years and they are using their customers as Ginnie Pigs to test their so called update fixes. That my friend is why I am still using Windows 7 for as long as I can...then on to Windows 10 and use that the same way. Sad I know, but MS operating systems just get worse and worse. Take care.

I really think MS shot themselves in the foot when they fired their QA team. We are seeing the results of that, with W11 updates being... Not ideal at the best and system-breaking at the worst. I have no idea how they think I'm going to magically hop to W11 in the coming years. Don't even get me started on those "hardware" limitations for W11 🙄

[@DawezyDRK]

So after they drop Windows 10 support in Oct 2025, from that point on how long does 11 have? it'll have been out more then a couple years by then right? I have a second PC ready to go when I have to stop full-timing this one and that one is running 11 Pro, I only connect it to the internets every month or so to check for updates otherwise it's never connected to any network.

[@notjustforhackers4252]

If you think this is a long time, you should play MSFS-2020. When released NONE of the planes were correct, none of the ATC calls, and Navigation systems in the 787/747 worked, you could not input a navigation plan and it work. Connot tell you the number of times I tried (25 years of Flt Sims Experience) and it just never worked. Finely, this past summer, MS/Asobo released a fix which make those planes fly as advertised. I had shortly thereafter taken the Sim off my PC and never going to install it again. It's a mess now, and 2024 will be as big a mess too. MS you had your chance, you failed. NOW, heard windows 12????-name-is going to have just tons of AI crap in it. MS aint going there. I can and will install Linux and you will be done. X-plane runs on Linux, my financial programs run on Linux, and anything that does not, I can just use a windows 10 client under the sheets. Take note, they could lose so much money, they are gone.

[@TrevM0nkey]

my biggest problems so far.. is that it looks like they wanted to create a Mac OS, they replaced menu items with pictures and if i want to turn the volume down I've got to look at everything else as well.

[@lokelaufeyson9931]

Fair point with the "tinker and change stuff when its not needed", it is a big rusty nail im MS coffin. Microsoft still release the broken update that brake sound over hdmi on windows 10 but its easy to avoid it now. Have hardware and software to keep microsoft on the outside the door now. One point that you didnt mention is the reboot during nights even if you have open documents or programs, you can sleep and spend time with your dreams and the computer reboot by itself during nights and your documents is closed and not saved, your programs close and in some cases the program state isnt saved if you work with code or similar. I cant be the only one who have my computer running 24/7 ?! I have looked in windows 10 and there is no option to turn off automatic reboot, its either during nights when you need it or between a set time interval. Updates is still in the 1990s in windows, require reboot and cant read the news in a browser while updating and so on, i think they should fix that issue as well. Im a bit pampered by the update process in linux so i may see it with different eyes but i like the part where you can update your system and watch a stream or do your bank stuff while updating and reboot at your own pace. Its no "Reboot you pc NOW!!" in linux and i like that. I usually do my stuff and if i notice that its updates ready to install i pop up the terminal and use the magic - Update the list of updates and install and say yes to all - command and keep on working with whatever i worked with and finish it and the update work in the background until finished and when im finished i reboot my pc and start up with the new set of updates and all good. My little laptop is a happy chap now when MS cant bully it too much. The BIOS issue is still there when using windows but it cant be fixed ever i think. At times when i start the laptop i get a black screen and nothing else.. a emergency power off and reboot and the laptop works fine again. Its a asus snowflake laptop, special screen with touch and other weirdness going on. Its a asus transformerbook T100 i think.. Its a good service/work laptop in general so i keep it running until it dies.

The biggest problem with Windows is it being closed source.

[@bobfs8891]

The biggest problem with windows is one company owns the OS and also owns the application divisions. Whereas if they only own the OS, then they can concentrate their efforts better to ensure that their OS is stable and works with everything where they have no conflicts or agenda to the application and gaming division. Those two should stand on their own to compete in the marketplace as well as the OS. Having them under one umbrella is why we are seeing what are seeing. Having Windows open source by itself isn't going to fix the problem unless the OS itself is independent of the owner which is never going to happen.

[@pjcnet]

At least they've improved since the 1990s when Windows 3.11 for Workgroups used to crash and/or freeze forcing a reboot on most PCs, people had to accept at least a few crashes a week if it was heavily used, especially on the network. Windows 95 was a lot better, although still not as stable as today and Windows 98 took a step back. It wasn't until Windows 2000 based on NT technology followed by Windows XP that we started to enjoy similar stability enjoyed today.

[@SpacedOutDoonie]

They do keep adding and fixing things that is literally never any use to me. The last thing I can think of that they updated that I liked and wanted was the volume and brightness slider to the modern one instead of the old ugly top left corner one. I wish they would add features like right click to chose setting/option and keep the setting/window still open after the choice/option has been made. Window magnet snapping. Hover over files and instantly have details show up and have it stay on when viewing multiple files when you hover from one to the other (it always stops showing the details flyout when you hover over files after like the third one and you have to hover off and back on to have the details show back up but then its the same bug again 3-5 max then it stop showing details)

[@paulreader1777]

@@geoffvk3sq113 I would be a pretty average user of technology these days, except perhaps for gaming, in which I do not participate. I am forced to use Windows for my 'work', which is using MYOB to do bookkeeping for the non-profit at which I volunteer. I do also have two personal machines from which I am loath to completely scrap Windows.and will set up dual booting for Linux. That said, my daily use machine runs Linux Mint 20.3 with the Cinnamon desktop. This is the operating system I have installed on all four of the machines our nfp has for casual and training use. We run one piece of proprietary software as part of our CNC design suite, otherwise open source software LibrreOffice, Blender, Inkscape and GIMP satisfy most of our general needs. I cannot be aware of what your particular software needs and skills are. If a largely MS Office compatible suite and a range of image and video manipulation tools will satisfy your use case then, I would suggest you begin by installing these on your WIndows machine. and determining if they will supply what you need. You would also have to adopt a non-MS specific browser like Chrome or Firefox. If you find those things are workable then you can progressively shift to trying a Linux distribution. Most distributions provide what is called 'live boot' where you can install them on a USB drive and run them from that drive to become familiar with them while preserving your Windows installation. Again, if that seems acceptable you could move to installing Linux as dual boot without having to ditch Windows completely. There are abundant videos and articles about how to do this or your local technician will be able to oblige. It is never a completely smooth transition and, as Brian's videos point out, Linux and the opensource ecosystem are not to everyone's liking. The most agreeable features for me are that most Linux distributions provide both current and legacy versions that will run on most hardware produced in the last 15-20 years, that you have much more obvious control over installing updates and, providing you back up your data files you can easily do a complete re-install. This is generally also true of the open source applications too and, with a few exceptions, the applications are free. I recently installed Qcad to do some 2D architectural work. Even though it was open source it cost probably about 50USD. This is a very small cost compared to proprietary alternatives and allows me to install on all my personal machines. New feature updates will come at an ongoing annual cost of about 60% of original purchase price but if I have no need of new features I have no ongoing costs.Sorry for the long-winded explanation and good luck!

I think there's more chance of winning the lottery Bri. Microsoft just can't help themselves they have to keep messing around with these operating systems and cocking things up.

[@Britec09]

I agree mate

[@jonathanmaybury5698]

This is the first I've heard of the windows explorer bug. I had no idea that this was happening to all the people. For some reason I never suffered with it. Wifi and Bluetooth Yes, I've always had trouble with those. especially with the sound system. Bluetooth sounds speakers, never seemed to go right. You're always having to mess with the settings to get them to work. I'm on the canary build. So I do get all the new stuff first. The only difference with my computer to everyone else is. That I've got rid of the Microsoft cloud, Whether or not that has something to do with it, I do not know. I'm not putting it back on to find out. I don't want it. At the start of Windows 11 it caused so many issues that I just wanted to get rid. The price they charge for extra memory is ridiculous they can keep their scam I'm not buying it. Weirdly enough, I have had far more trouble with Windows 10 than I have with 11.

[@Britec09]

Don't think that bug affected everyone

[@geowilson1587]

after the last update 3372 my on screen caps on/off popup no longer there..even changing ease of access settings..

[@robinsoneveonline]

Windows 11 Notepad issue, you open one file you previously created, now you see all the tabs for all the other notepad files. That part is ok I suppose, however every time you open a previously created file it will duplicate a new blank file with the same name header. When all you want to do is use your original file. Not sure if other users have this issue or not?

[@Britec09]

I have the same issue

I'm not looking forward to the possibility of my Wi-Fi breaking, that is my only means to connect to the internet on my slim laptop. I can only pause the updates for 1 1/2 week.

[@Key-Premise]

I don't know why people experience problems with updates. Since I owned my first laptop in 2012 up until now, there has NEVER been a single issue. Not once, nothing even remotely close to a bug with newer Windows versions and all the updates that came. I don't know if there's a compatability problem with mix & matching components for desktop PC's, but I've never had problems with my laptops.

[@funkymunky]

I'm running on AMD Ryzen. Still lags and freezes from time to time. Microsoft and AMD still haven't resolved that issue. Real PITA when I'm in creative suite.

[@Keith.W]

Thanks for the video Brian, must admit I am not liking win 11 one bit.

[@Britec09]

Some people hate it

[@Overonator]

Didn't Microsoft layoff lots of internal testers a few years ago?

[@JackPlatt]

Great video!

[@gecmisinisevenadam3971]

Bought a laptop with ryzen 7 7th gen 8c 16t, ddr5 ram 32gb with 6400mhz speed, wifi6, etc. Etc. Installed all windows 11 updates but it lags soo much. Keyboard and mouse is not responding sometimes. I got really irritaded with that as an it student. So i'm downgrading now to windows 10

[@motoryzen]

Let me make myself clear not that I'm defending Microsoft or Windows which I am definitely not, but I noticed you neglected to mention what type of storage drive you installed when crap 11 into. If it's spinning rust AKA a hard drive then no wonder of course it's going to be severely laggy. Windows 10 would be severely lagging on on hard drive even a 10,000 RPM velocity Raptor from Western Digital from years ago

[@nemowei5553]

Still full of bugs Win11. Almost every morning duplicate display even it was set on only show on display2, bluescreens and restarts, everywhere AI now in the OS, collection all your files. Privacy is completely gone. Microsoft is mining anything from your PC. Using more and more Linux now.

[@MosJournal]

With Windows 10, I tried to be all in Microsoft, both hardware and software. But their problems with both gradually left me with just Windows and what came with it. Then they started discontinuing and messing with the secondary apps which came with Windows. Eventually, all I used Microsoft for was to navigate to and use non-Microsoft products. Windows is basically a shell or hub. Even functions within the OS has been replaced by 3rd party apps. I toyed with Linux a few times, during the Windows 8 debacle and more recently. The only reason that I remain with Windows is because some software that I use doesn't work in Linux and lack linux alternatives. But Windows 11 seems like a repeat of Window 8 mistakes. When W10 is not longer supported, I will either alter W11 through 3rd party utilities which will make it even more of a shell or I will switch back to Linux.

[@timnotbrianmay]

Walmart does the same thing with their register updates!!!!!!! Every time they update something at least something else is broken... Badly!!!

[@fredleggett923]

Wow, I thought I was the only one experiencing this. I'll be watching a movie in vlc when, all of a sudden, Explorer pops into the foreground. I've never seen this happen in any other version of Windows.

[@johnnyblack4261]

Even Arch Linux seems more stable than Window 10. But to be honest with you with me personally the only one major issue I got after an update was it caused my wifi adapter to not work correctly.

[@MegaOS_Ver_NEET]

the bane of utilizing the live service business model by the software developers. they make 70-80% complete program/patch then release. using the end-users as beta-testers and QA to save money there and make a patch from the end-user feed back. the problem is that the end users might not able to tell what they do truly to trip the issue... and currently MS got crappy QA team, probably from bug-thesda, slowing down the troubleshooting.

[@rezaahmmadi6800]

windows 11 top left corner is selected automatically and it happens sometimes and one restart fixes the issue but again it happens

[@magoolew5131]

That's why I won't move to W 11 until W 15 comes out. They can't seem to stop bringing out buggy software. I have an older computer that I'm trying to get going with Linux on it but I've done something wrong and it just come to a screen where it says to hit enter to continue. I can't get past that screen and I know very little about Linux so I'll be taking it to Geek Squad this Saturday. I took out a years subscription to Geek Squad so it won't cost me anything for them to fix it. I know I'll have trouble learning Linux but I'm tired of putting up with Softie.

[@ZacTBH]

I rolled back to windows 10 because I was shocked to see how poorly my computer was performing, the OS is so laggy, buggy, and bloated. There is no reason an OS should be running this poorly on high end specs.

Windows seems to be in a constant state of rebuild and this behavior from microsoft will probably continue

[@breakinggames6356]

I tried windows 11 and it was worse in every conceivable way more ram usage a terrible new taskbar and start menu games crashing after 10 minutes and no its not overheating the games would just stop loading the map

[@user-pw3bf8zg1j]

thanks cause windows 11 its biggws problem, and i see they wanna combine linux and microsoft in small example they add microsoft store looks like ubuntu software

[@motoryzen]

Microcrap can pretend to be Linux. All they want, but they will never be Linux. Because their mentalities are way too different. Microsoft once to own a control. What is supposed to be your computer? And they've proven they can do that, especially over the past 5 to 6 years straight. Linux, On the other hand, It's still community driven AK by the people for the people. A true libertarians operating system world

[@rc2276]

I wish windows would put their own genuine version of windows lite- a basic operating system without all the bloat and features nobody wants.

[@gwgux]

I can try and boil the problems with Windows down to two: 1. An operating system needs to sit in the background behind what the user is running on the computer. It should not be at the forefront of using that computer. It's supposed to activate the hardware on the system and give the user the ability to run software for that system...and that's it. Microsoft lost sight of this over a decade ago. Now the operating system needs to be at the front with a store, with built in advertising for other products and services from Microsoft, always online and connected to their cloud service, etc. They redefined what an operating system should be, but their new definition of it has them adding more and more stuff to it to where the lines between an operating system and installed software on top of it are very much blurred and as such they have lost focus. Trying to bring user applications and services to the OS level so that they are inseparable prevents Microsoft from focusing on making a stable reliable operating system underneath it. This creates applications and services shipped as part of the OS that people don't need (bloat). When they update components they change user settings accordingly because it's not just an operating system for the user to use the hardware they own. It's now an integrated system that lets Microsoft push more and more of their offerings to people directly. 2. They must have chronic management problems at their company. This must've been created, at least in part, by a lack of a clear definition of what Windows should be as I described in the first point. This leads to too many software teams working on Windows and each team is doing their own part of it, but they keep stepping on each other and they most likely don't all have the same system checks and balances for quality control and debugging. For example, they fixed the windows explorer bug, but that took a long time to get done and far longer for what should be an essential part of being able to use the system. How much finger pointing happened behind the scenes internally between the various teams that build components that allow windows explorer to run before they finally got the right team to fix it? They won't tell us outright what happened, but maybe it wasn't a problem with Windows Explorer software itself, maybe it was another feature/service in the OS that was triggering it? Stuff like that with the finger pointing and power struggles that most likely happened behind the scenes indicates a management issue. When they created problems with WiFi in their latest update, was it the fix for Windows Explorer that fixed it, or any of the other many fixes they put in that set it off? Maybe it was something from the kernel team patching a bug, but now drivers need to be updated, but they didn't tell the hardware manufacturers so they haven't updated their drivers yet? Messes like this are more management than technical in nature and a clear lack of testing on actual hardware. Microsoft has so much money going into it in revenue that they really could be testing on a wide range of hardware and hardware combinations at a scale far larger than they currently are now, the fact that they aren't is a question for their management. The teams will do what they are paid to do, but they most likely have too many teams, too many management levels, etc., involved due to the lack of focus on what an operating system should be.

[@mikepanchaud1]

I totally agree with point 1. I want to use my applications NOT the operating system, it should just sit in the background managing my files.

[@mikepanchaud1]

The fact windows allows you to delay update by a week or so, says it all. They don't trust themselves . I can remember being excited when windows 95 came out now I dread windows updates.

[@GiftFromGod]

another annoying file explorer bug is that both "open in an a new tab" and "open in a new window" opens it in a new window! had to see if the update fixed that but nope. its despicable that a company of this size suck so bad at the most basic functions. even worse is that our only options of computer systems are Mac, Windows and Linux and its billions of alternatives. this should be effing illegal honestly

[@fribook]

Happy Merry Christmas.

[@FiftyTechSolutions]

Hahahahha Britec I feel your pain. That's why I'm going to stick to Windows 10 as long as possible

strange I never seen this fault, maybe something to do with all the tweaks people keep doing,

[@brianfisher812]

The Microsoft Techs have a degree which says" I can screw up your P.C. Because I can!" They want to keep their so-called" Jobs" so They MUST come up with something. i.e. We have added a new feature. not my concern if it doesn`t work!

[@Shrek765]

Why not just give us a Basic Windows without Bloat like you can do with NVIDIA? So Glad I Did Not Jump on 11 and my New build this year is Win 10!

[@jasonbaxter7458]

Im sticking with windows 10 for now.its still active for 2 years and you can still use it after that time.personally i dont think they needed to release windows 11 yet.windows 10 is stable and better than ever.its just a money thing i guess

[@alexanderenriquez7954]

Windows 11 has just been downright unstable and awful for a few updates they released this year. I just gave up on it and downloaded Windows 10. My issues went away

[@samuraiwarriorsunite]

One thing you can count on. Unlike fixing their operating system, when Microsoft pulls the plug on unsupported systems installing Windows11 it sure as hell won't take 15 months.

[@shanky.y]

And that is why I'm happy to stay on win10. I just don't see the need to move to win11. And I have no problems with win10.

[@100PercentOS2]

I liked Windows Vista by far the best. Then comes Windows 2007 which I didn't like as well but both operating systems were extremely stable. All of the Windows versions after that I hated with a passion. Especially the Windows 10 I have on my desktop. It likes to corrupt my personal files on my external hard drives every time I clicked on them forcing me to go back to my very stable Windows 2007. Microsoft Essentials appear to still be working but I just don't know for how longer and Windows 2007 has never corrupted a personal file. NEVER!

[@shadowopsairman1583]

If you disable Windows update and use powershell to install security updates only you won't have a problem.

[@spacial2]

The biggest problem with Windows was abandoning XP.
