Windows 11 is like Chrome, they keep pushing for it to be a touchscreen mobile world. Fuck touch screen, fuck tablets, fuck smart phones. I shouldn't have to change registry or flags buried under the hood to make things look normal on a 27" screen.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By thejokker: Computer security is not sexy and goes un-noticed but is never the less very important. The reason for upgrading your hardware for Windows 11 is for hardware based computer security. Yes; Microsoft has an annoying habit of changing the name of features and how to do things but it is very easy to type into a search engine "how to do "X" on Windows 11. Turning off annoying features is similarly solved. Not upgrading your O/S is the computer equivalent of "defunding" the police". On point. |

Most of the issues I run into with Win11 in my client base are really down to MS wanting to integrate everything under a MS account and then the ensuing OneDrive backup/folder redirect.
But that is more of a MS thing, vs Windows specifically and was/is present in 10 as well Same for O365 credentials and sign in/licensing snafus in Office. |

I know the newest rage is subscriptions and renting games instead of owning them, but not being able to run Empire Earth or Cossacks in Lan has irked me since the day I discovered it. I know it's not all windows fault, but we hate who we hate.

Recently upgraded a Win10 VM to 11 for testing, and so far, things seem to be running o.k. There's been a few changes that have taken a few moments to get used to, but nothing that has me yelling at the monitor........yet. But it's Microsoft, so I have no doubt in my mind that the moment will come.
 Just don't tell it that it's running on a Z170 motherboard, a 6th gen i7-6700k, and an LMDE6 host.  Fuck your hardware requirements Microsoft.  Followed the directions below, and Win11 installed with no issues.  ?? Another NEW Way to Upgrade Windows 10 to Windows 11 23h2 on Unsupported Systems, No Tools Required |

I went from Win 7 to 11 and though there is a learning curve I don't see the outrage. It was like this from Win 95 to 98 and so on. I guess I simply expected it.

You turn off most of the annoying stuff when doing a clean install. You can even get out of creating a microsoft account still. I'm guessing most of the bad rap is people using Home edition on pre-mades and laptops.

Have used most versions of windows, managed to escape Me and Vista. Was basically forced to go from XP to 10 - as XP was past end of life. Newest build is 11 - son's computer, so I have only done some admin. Problems on it probably have not been 11 related - but it did take down my home network for a few weeks. It kept trying to sinc files online, which ate all my bandwidth and data plan.
Biggest issue with 11 was doing an offline install so I could avoid it knowing of any Microsoft account. I think that saved a lot of problems. FWIW did not really like 8. But don't think I ever managed more than 2 Win 8 computers (out of a network of 20). No real problems, it just annoyed me having 2 outcasts. |

I manage around 50 Win 10Pro/11Pro systems. Everything that could get pushed to 11Pro has been pushed. New machines get bumped to Win11Pro if /when they arrive Win10Pro Disable all the ad stuff and minimize notifications for our users. My daily driver, in the office, is a Win11Pro with multiple screens.
Most of the time I’m in Putty terminal windows working on Ubuntu Servers though. I’ve never seen un-necessary pop up notifications from Windows on any of the machines I’ve worked on. But spend a bunch of time getting them up to date and set before deployment. |

The 'new Outlook' app is the same thing just in a web wrapper which I think is a mistake. |

I'm on Win 11 and macOS Sonoma. No issues.
With a lot of experience working at IT, I can confidently say that most of the "issues" in this thread are likely PEBKAC issues. |

I am kinda meh, don't care at this point though I really wish the asshats would quit renaming and moving shit each time.
I have personally had: 95, 98, Me, 2000, XP, 7, 10, and now 11 Yes ME sucked....  I have had to deal with but not owned: NT, and Vista Out of them all...the guy who let Vista out of the test phase needs to get his balls removed, burned put back on, kicked 87,000 over and then removed again and mounted to his forehead as a warning to others...... for letting that shit in the general public. I happened to be decent with computers and got a CAC card reader working on one computer..... I should have left the mess that day as the next thing I know I had 15 more waiting in line right after....  I guess I am somewhat blah about it now as I have to deal with Unix........and DOS 3.1  at work still

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Fallen: That was added over a year after the release date and still doesn't fix all of the taskbar problems. What is with you and this thread? Everything you post is a combination of not understanding the question and blaming the user. Do you work for Microsoft or something? Because that's what I would expect from a Microsoft employee.

It totally killed my productivity by making switching between spreadsheets and other tabs ten times slower. I couldn't work with it. Stupid, stupid decision. Not sure if it's been fixed or not. It was never broken. https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/151231/Screenshot_2024-05-07_160751_png-3208087.JPG That was added over a year after the release date and still doesn't fix all of the taskbar problems.

Because that's what I would expect from a Microsoft employee. About 25 years of bad takes on issues that are either non-issues, or easily solved without some hack and slash fix. I could be mistaken, but taskbar grouping of icons was never a mandatory configuration. What other taskbar problems am I missing that make it unusable? |
