What bothers me is: - Extra clicks, especially context menu. - the shutdown button should be on the button left of start menu, the new menu is so big and useless. - The suggestions are a nightmare, what if someone saw a private document in suggestion?
Alright I'm pissed off, it's one thing to make me do twice the work to simply edit a text file but when MS decide its simply perfectly fine to remove CMD properties page and replace it with a limited one with no option to disable "quick edit" mode that absolutely causes hangs and other unwanted crap in the command prompt is just retarded. The only fix is a reg hack or group policy change which is simply ridiculous on a non domain connected machine and will result in copy and paste not working until you set it back. It's INSANE actually.
It's terrible, I tried it using it in bootcamp on my Mac Pro. Also tried it most recently on my new PC build which is running a 64 core Threadripper 3990X, Corsair Dominator Plat 2x32GB, 2 x nvidia titan rtx. Yet task manager constantly crashes and it can't even handle Adobe Premier Pro which also constantly crashes. About half of the time my monitor won't turn on after waking the PC due to Windows 11 not recognizing my wireless mouse or keyboard. Huge thumbs down. It's so bad that even the search bars in multiple applications, including desktop won't even work.
They are obsessed with removing features to "simplify". Like, I have my taskbar at the left side in Win 10 and really do not want to give this up. It makes sense as monitors are wide rather than tall and it's conveniently out of the way when using applications. I don't want it staring at me using up space at the bottom. But they took that away in 11. I don't understand why they keep screwing with the UI. It's like every time a new car is released having a different way of steering. Liked the steering wheel? Tough, get used to tank controls now!
You CAN move the task bar to the left on win11. There is an option to do that. I don't know why this guy is ranting about it. Edit: It requires installing 3rd party applications since they removed the option to Registry edit with the last update. Yes, Win 11 (and MS) SUUUUUUCKS external oblong bodily features.
@@roklaca3138 Not the same as having it on the left (or right) and visible. It costs them nothing to have this option available for those of us who prefer it. They simply took it away for no reason.
I had to upgrade my PC seeing that Steam was not supporting Windows 7 anymore. I was baffled by how regressive it was in terms of design and user accessibility. Windows 7 could support my monitor's resolution but 11 couldn't. I despised the fact WiFi connectivity can't be listed as a separate icon and bewildered as to why switching tabs and apps via the taskbar had this 'stickiness to it'. My only compliant about my new PC is that it came with Windows 11.
It would be great if they've kept Win10 interface as a style, composition or whatever. I've always thought that the main strength od Windows is versatility and customizability. Yet Win11 crippled most of that.
Agreed. I used to organize the start menu into organized folders on Windows 7. They took away that ability with Windows 10, but at least they had the tiles that could be organized and grouped. Windows 11 just takes away everything.
Windows and customizability? Obviously you have never used a Linux distribution with a KDE Desktop Environment. There is nothing personal on a Personal Computer with Windows. They all look the same and they all share their data with Microsoft. Why RENT ( yes, not buy!!!! read the license agreement ) and pay for an Operating System that has power over YOUR computer and data ( YES, Microsoft can revoke you using their OS and shut your computer down, therefor leaving it useless ) and sells your data to the highest bidder ( personalized adds ). Not even mentioning Google ( Android ) and Apple.
@@patricktrakzel9657 There's this thing called "regedit" my man. Jesus Christ, I use Linux and I'm tired of hearing people just spout this complete nonsense of how you "cant customize it." What the actual hell are you talking about. You can also disable most of the telemetry and choose NOT to use edge (even remove it completely.) well at least on windows 10; tried 11 once and never again.
Useable? Yes. Practical? No. Support for Windows 7 has practically disappeared now, unless you're sticking to old software and don't go online. Even the best security software can't make up for the the exploits in the Windows 7 code that hackers are going to find that will never get fixed now.
In general, I don't like how microsoft is treating their users as children, or idiots, more and more "Oh, remember that setting or choices you had? They are now gone, we made it easier by choosing for you!". Do they really think PC users are all a bunch of old geezers that don't know how to setup their VCRs and a bunch of Gen Z kids that live on theirs phones?
i know, right? most people nowadays that uses windows are not the average joe. Average joes are using their phones to do most of the stuff. Most Windows users are either students or professionals.
I noticed my cpu usage would go up like crazy when using my mouse and controller, I downgraded to windows 10 and the issue was gone. Such an annoying bug that is keeping me from upgrading again. This and the overall system responsiveness is just terrible.
Lasted about a week using 11. Wouldn't have even been that long if I hadn't found a variety of work-arounds to get rid of the utter garbage they litteraly force onto the start menu. I don't only not wish to see "trending" ANYTHING on my screen ANYWHERE; not news, not searches, not ANYTHING...I refuse entirely to have it embedded in my daily OS of choice. A couple of registry edits sort most of it out, but they really can't provide a toggle switch? Seriously? Nor do I want or need the same "trending" trash plus additional advertising on my browser home page. After trying out the new interface as it was designed (a cheap Apple style knock-off parody with less practical utility than the old Windows left side of the screen menu system) for a while, it had to go. Found a script to make Windows at least look and function more like it should and ok! Only problem now is it's slower than Windows 10 for almost everything. Might be because I custom de-bloat Win 10, turn off all the "eye candy" effects, and do not under any circumstances use the laggy default apps, but...yeah, that is probably why Win 10 runs faster for me. I trim all the fat from it, and install lean and fast apps. I'm sure some of that is possible on Windows 11 too, and I ran a script that attempted to debloat it and disable unnecessary background services etc, but I couldn't persevere with it longer than a week. There were no advantages to using it at all; none. Clearly they are not aiming for the power user demographic, to put it nicely. The same people that used Win 10 vanilla, didn't know how much better and faster Irfanview and VLC were, and thought it was amazing to have animated transitions when opening a window...I'm sure those people will be utterly delighted by the centralised menu button and how it looks more like their friends expensive Mac! Good for them I say! You enjoy! Maybe in another 5-6 years Win 11 will have developed enough and been developed and rationalised enough to be useable by users who like to get under the hood and tune the engine, so to speak, but it's not looking like that kind of OS right now. MS still trying to force their crappy default apps is cringeworthy, and nothing more than an inconvenience for someone that wants to use Firefox or Chrome, yet still has Edge opening up links from the search bar etc. It's....well...not for me.
You can remove all of those recommendations in the start menu, if you actually bothered to look around in the control panel. I found it myself within the first day. The only interface change that actually changed in Win11 is the start menu but even that for me isn't an issue. I use it so little already and even on previous Windows versions that it doesn't matter what they do to it. But I slapped it to the left side, removed all of the recommendations with a few clicks and called it a day. Sure Win10 has a better Startmenu but because I barely use it, meh. Debloat? Laggy apps? What are you trying to Windows on? A single core CPU from 2000? Nothing in Windows 11 has lagged for me when I use it. Just got a bog standard SSD that it's installed on. I have run Win11 for several months now but I have not needed to click any links in the start menu. Mainly because if I'm gonna search the web it's through google. Edge is also just as fast as Chrome is. It's a functional browser now and it only gets hate because it's the Microsoft default one. It's not like they are trying to stop you too. In Edge if you type in Firefox in the address bar it'll directly link to their homepage.
@@Zefar77 Which as you probably know is the default joke for why people use Edge and all the way back to Intenet Expoorer; "you have to use it to download a decent browser". I didn't go looking through the options for how to remove all the trending stuff. I have used debloat scripts on every version of Windows since XP, and it usually all taken care of with a few clicks, as well as other stuff that is definitely not found in the options and needs registry edits etc. In comparison to Win 10, which I dual booted to compare, Win 11 was slightly laggier even after debloat on my machines. If you didn't run them side by side and one after the other to test them out, you might not notice the slight lag I guess.
@@Zefar77 I can't say Edge is actually terrible, but it's not what I'm used to, and it is missing some customisation features, add-ons etc that I personally need and use daily. I couldn't be bothered even taking the time to pick all the crap out if it, and believe me, I do streamline and customise Chrome and FF to suit my usage needs exactly.
I moved to Linux and havent turned back. I have to use win 11 at work and it is a hot mess dumpster fire. Slow, memory hog, lags up all the time and is about as configurable as the useless brick that it is. I hate calling it an upgrade from 10 or even 7 because it is just getting worse. Pure garbage. *this is my optimistic view, my more critical review is not safe for consumption and would destroy the human race.
My nephew's Windows 10 Education Pro OS (or whatever it's called) had the Windows 11 "Upgrade" scheduled so what did I do? Look up how to block that garbage and now it won't change to 11. I also cleaned up his notebook (it had a lot of junk programs and unnecessary antivirus which was more of an annoyance than actually useful).
I'm also experiencing performance problems in relatively new Ryzen7 laptop (R7 4700U, 16GB RAM, 500GB SSD). It's not freezing but sometimes it's getting sluggish. Most of apps work perfectly fine but from time to time it bahaves like a trackpad was made of jelly. After dragging a window I have to wait for it to keep up. It doesn't take long time - usually fractions of second but it's really annoying. It feels like DPI reduced and everything slowed down accordingly. I haven't found any solution - updating bios, disabling bitlocker, installing newest drivers, older drivers, clean windows install... Nothing helped
as a laptop repair technician, the settings app is so confusing. and when i start to go into the control panel settings sometimes the clients feel like i'm tampering with their device
Still planning to stay on win 10 until the very end by October 2025 and hopefully win 12 will be there to switch to. In the meantime I started using Linux and it's super fun and yet functional.
Why do you want windows 12? How do you not realize yet that they get worse as the numbers increase? Windows peaked on 7 and has purposefully made it worse ever since
@@2010RSHACKS I disagree. Sure windows 7 was great but windows 10 isn't bad to be honest. But windows 8 was. They make a "good operating system" once every 2 releases usually. So maybe windows 12 will be better and not full of garbage

Vista was a botched launch by trash OEMs, combined with Microsoft pushing way too many new features at the wrong time, and that's why Windows 7 is basically just Vista 2. Windows 8.1 at least had a functional update structure, unlike Windows 10 or 11. Windows 11 is easily the worst version of Windows ever built, because it retains all of the issues with Windows 10 (forced updates that don't work, built in spyware, poor performance, horrible software rot, etc.) but doubles down on them, while shoehorning in "features" that nobody likes and only remind us how sorry of an excuse the tech industry has become in the last 10 years
@@superstar64 Windows 11 REALLY IS THE WORST WINDOWS EVER AND THE WORST OS IN PC HISTORY!!! NOBODY UPGRADE TO THIS SHITTY PC OS UNLESS YOU WANT TO SUFFER!!!!!

In windows 10, in file explorer, you can pull files, to put it in the previous folder by dragging it into the file path. In windows 11, you can’t do that anymore. That really annoys me as I would have to open another tab of file explorer.
I was getting ready to upgrade to windows 11 but I find it totally unnecessary since the new windows media player is really Groove which I tried to delete off of windows 10. That's terrible they don't have anybody in there that cares about music and how to work with the CDs.
Everytime I start using windows 10 (which to me is just as bad as W11) I begin searching for rants on youtube. It's become an unpleasant tradition now. Almost two years so far doing this. The interface, ALWAYS getting in my way like a gianormous dumb elephant. Even after me using plugins, registry hacks, and trying to make it work more like W7, it still finds ways to annoy you! Can't downgrade either, or I'd have already. Lastly, I don't look for video rants when I use windows 7. Nope, that OS is a pleasure to use.
I love the live tiles in W10 and overall the ability to have the start menu as a tablet mode on the PC with nice large icons and like programs grouped together. I installed W11 on one PC to suss it out but left W10 on the other PCs because W10 is simply 'better' IMO and works with older processors which are more then adequate for both gaming and every day use. MSFT should have just stuck with W10 and updated it visually only.
The thing is, Windows 11 wan at first planned as huge visual upgrade for Windows 10) Sun Valley or something like that was the code name of this upgrade. And than they release Windows 11...
Unfortunately, I SUFFERED LIVING HELL for nearly a couple years until the PC was all mine and WIPED WINDOWS 11 OFF THE FACE OF THE EARTH with Windows 10! (It took a while, but it looks much nicer now (Especially since I have 3rd-party applications like Stardock's products).
I personally really hate the bars that represent which window is active in the taskbar . Minimalism be damned, if I were downloading something on my browser or copying files, the SAME bar is used to indicate progress
I really hate windows 11 - I'm switching back to Windows 10 for Workstations. So many extra steps to do the same dam thing like right clicking and having to click show more options EVERY TIME
unless you do it within 10 days of getting Win 11, you will loose most of your software because you basically need to reformat your HD. Complicated and a real hassle. Unless you do it within 10 day. Bu Microsoft doesn't tell you about this until it is too late. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!
I tried windows 11 for 2 months this year with explorerpatcher to restore all its settings to windows 10 ones but it still sucks as ass. I have rolled back to win10 and I am extremely happy with my decision.
Windows 10 support ends in 2025, so you'll have to either stick with an unsupported OS, switch to Linux or bite the bullet and switch to Windows 11. I've been on Windows 11 for over a year now, still have Windows 10 on a 2nd PC but I honestly have no clue what any of you Windows 11 haters are complaining about.
@tafdiz bro, you used Windows 7 for that long? That's not good. Anyway, you have 2 more years of Windows 10 support before you have to use Windows 11 or Linux. Also, for your question, google it; I forgor what it's called. It's some themepack. Make sure you install a themepatcher first.
I just went back to Windows 10 Pro and it made me realize just how bad Windows 11 sucks! Windows 10 has a better taskbar, context menu, fewer clicks to do anything, runs better on whatever hardware you have, and even has a better audio stack (sounds better). Windows 11 is akin to Windows 8, just because they could make it does not mean they should have. Windows 10 is the best OS ever made by MS, along with Windows 7. 11 is stupidly setup and Microsoft has had time to fix the screw ups!
The other issue is, Windows 11 was supposed to be a "prettier" version (it's not!) of Windows 10, but all they managed to do was make it look like a cheap tablet/Apple OS clone and dumb it down. Two clicks for everything, no way to customize this without hacks or third party? Whoever though it was a good idea to make it like this is beyond me!
Thanks for you objective review of win 11, I keep watching reviews every 6months waiting for a good one, but I can't justify it at all. Glad for the details you described, cheers!
This is not an objective review of Windows 10 at all. It outright lies about Windows 10 being faster, Microsoft optimised Windows 11 some time ago so that SSD read and write speeds are significantly faster on Windows 11. Windows 10 HDR support is almost non existant and the DirectStorage support is extremely bare bones. There's also no support for Direct X 12 Ultimate
This review is not good. Microsoft fixed most of the issues, and at this point it's a repeat of Vista, and even 10, where people just blindly hate on it because they're used to the previous version.
I'm glad somebody else said it: the Windows XP and 7 era Control Panel is still objectively far superior to the new Settings app. I still go to Control Panel on Win10 for all my needs, and avoid the default Settings app as much as is possible.
The only reason I stuck with Windows 11 over Windows 10 was all the issues I had with multiple monitor setups in Windows 10. Monitors would disconnect when the computer was going to sleep, and on wake-up, all my icons or open programs would be move to the primary monitor. Extremely irritating. Windows 11 does not have this problem. As much as I prefer Windows 10 to Windows 11, I can't deal with that Windows 10 issue.
My PC doesn't have any issues and I have 2 monitors, there are no problems. When I installed Windows 10 alongside Windows 11, I had no problems with my 2 monitors. When I shut my computer down or put it to sleep and I fire it back up, both monitors come to life and it will continue working no problem. You should stay on Windows 10.
I actually quite like the transluscent feature. My first computer was a Win10, so I never got to try it, but I wish they'd make it just an OPTION, instead of either forcing one or the other.
I am obsessed with optimisation. I need to work fast and cleanly. I don't know why they won't let you customise more of the install to your needs. Bloat and junk trigger my OCD. lol... I need a light footprint. I only use ONE program on my PC, and that's for music production. Some of the audio sample based instruments take up 10GB of RAM themselves as they load all the audio into memory for latency reasons when playing music. So, my studio computer is still on Windows 10. (I would have stuck with stripped down Win7 even... but forced to upgrade to get the apps to work) The idea of installing a FORTY GIGAGBYTE OS is utterly INSANE to me. Windows 3.1 was 20 MB Windows 95 I don't think was even more than a few hundred MB. XP was around 4GB I think. I'm using stripped down TINY 10, it's brilliant. Quarter the Size, EVERYTHING unnecessary stripped out. Settings in Windows XP to 7 was perfect. I memorised everything and it was one click to what you wanted. And anything sub-menu was at least in the right section. Listen Microsoft.... fucking about with the System Settings folder by moving things around, hiding stuff AND ADDING MORE SUB MENUS is not an OS upgrade!!!!!
You are correct. Locking it down compared to 10 is a big mistake, along with all the other changes. Basically they took the steering wheel and moved it to the back seat and the brake pedal to the glove box. At M$ there is no cure for stupid.
Lmao. Why I hate Windows 11, is ALL OF IT!!!!!! Do not upgrade to W11 again. Even when Windows 10 becomes obsolete, I probably still use it, and might never change my mind again... cause if Windows 11 looks like shit, then later in the future EVERYTHING WILL LOOK LIKE SHIT!!!!!!!
I'm pretty sure whoever was in charge of the decision making got whacked one too many times on the head, how can someone be so out of touch? I have no other explanation. I will be forever stuck on Windows 10 until they come around rectifying all of this nonsense.
I find after using Windows PC's for years that now I have to be a real techi to fix anything, get something to work right, there are loads of places to go to to get the "parts of something" to set it up rights. Many Microsoft 'helps" are still for Windows 10. I liked the control panel controlling all aspects of a printer, WiFi etc. I might to to Apple for next computer even if it costs more. I will have to test it out for what I do on my computer-not a gamer-just use in ordinary ways. But I have an iPhone, iPad and having all Apple would be logical-I think.
Microsoft apparently never heard of, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." Honestly, I wish they would just keep the visual look of Windows XP or Windows Aero (Vista/7) or even the Windows Classic (9X series) as those are the definitive, iconic looks people think of when you think "Windows." Moving away from that into mobile territory is a big mistake. I thought they learned that lesson with Windows 8, but they seem to be repeating it with 11. Give me the look of Windows 7 with the OS of Windows 10 and I'll be a happy man.
In the days of Windows 7 I couldn't imagine myself using anything other than Windows. Now it's 2023 and been using Linux for nearly a month. Get your OS together, Microsoft.
I had a freakish issue with Windows 11. over t he ethernet my upload speed was severely throttled to less than 1kb I did not have that issue on that same machine on windows 10 or on linux or on windows 11 on another machine. I used GIGABYTE X470 AORUS ULTRA GAMING integrated lan which is a intel one. after an afternoon of trying to trouble shoot it I gave up and reinstalled windows 10. I'm not touching 11 with a 10 foot pole.
It was the only way to organize applications efficiently on Windows 10, and some of the live tile features were actually useful. Besides, Windows 11 has far more bloatware than Windows 10.
Don't install it, I regret I did after windows 10. WIndows 11 is reinventing the wheel in a bad way, lots of things are missing, like clock, programs installed list (yes), long times starting programs or games (rtx 4090, 5950k, 128 gb here), plugging icons on a taskbar is not working and also notifications. It's really bad and luggy
On my Ryzen 5 2600 + 16 Gb RAM + RX 570 4 Gb + NVMe M.2 SSD it took about 6-10 seconds to open volume applet (or what it called in English version of Windows?). So, to switch to another output device I should click, wait about 10 seconds and than click again and click to choose one. It started to work like this after a few month of using Windows 11 so I downgraded to Windows 10 now. It runs flawlessly) Upd.: the overall theme with this transparencies and all looks good
Personally I am UNINSTALLING Windows 11 Pro and going back to Windows 10 Pro, I am sick and tired of Windows 11 being the "Windows ME of 2023" and making all my subscription look and feel like a Clunky Turd.
Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC... All of Microsoft's tracking and spyware has been ripped out.. And when apps finally start complaining about me still using 10, I'll most likely make the switch to Mint or ubuntu-cinnimon. I won't use a spyware os. I won't install windows 11, and any other future versions of windows as long as they keep up with this horse shit.
Well, I'd go for Linux. I'm using 10 Enterprise LTSC and very happy with it, plus it has extended support until 2029 so I'm good. Windows 11 can go f itself.
I've worked extensively with both, and while MacOS is still nice in some regards, it hasn't been updated in forever. I hate the centered taskbar because the icon placement shifts with each application launched, which destroys any muscle memory. There are replacements like uBar, but the switch to M2 chips has resulted in a buggy, crash prone experience. The battery life is absolutely amazing though.

This review was hilarious, and i found it really entertaining. I personally do not like Windows 11, and i find it so irritating. Windows 10 is so much better and easier. I think when things are running good for a company, they sometimes get bored and lose their minds and rearrange things, thinking that they’re improving their company, when they’re actually ruining everything but they don’t realise it. Window 11 is like they got a bunch of DIY cannabis tech guys to see what they can come up with. Right click on something on Windows 11 and lose your mind wth, it’s about making it simple, not making it confusing.
I agree. Windows 11 even on 4k mkv video playback on a 4090 is oddly jittery than on older Windows 10. I have used klite mega codec, potplayer, vlc, etc. Each has the same result. Even after toggling the video enhancement feature in win11 on/off. Win 10 is so much smoother and easier to use. You don't have a UI on top of an older UI lol. That's basically what windows 11 is. Its just a fancier UI over top of windows 10. More bulk = less performance.

Ever since I downloaded windows 11 it's been thing after thing. (On a laptop mind you) When I downloaded it immediately Bluetooth stopped working (for everything speakers, head phones, mouses, keyboards.) Downloaded it when it came out and kept it updated. To this day still doesn't work. My keyboards started to not work and I'd have to completely reboot laptop to get it to work. Just recently my wifi just goes away. I had to find the wifi in the search bar because it wasn't accessible anywhere!!! WTF
Microsoft fixed a problem that wasn't broken just because they wanted to do exactly what Apple was doing. Apple created MacOS 11, so Microsoft created Windows 11. Seriously, why does everyone copy off of Apple? I ended up switching to Linux because it's more secure, stable, and Bing-free.
I have windows 11 Home on three devices, and a Pro version on one. two have supported hardware, and two older ones don't, but I loaded it on them anyway (there's a few methods, available online on how to do this) All four get their updates, an have been running fine for almost two years now. I've debloated them pretty thin, and use the free Windows Defender that they come with. There are settings, options, or even registry setting changes to tweak this OS to your liking. I know many folk who really don't like dealing with Linux distros, or IMac's IOS systems, ...I guess it's just personal choice. But saying that Windows 11 is a lousy system?.... no. It's actually one of the better ones out there these days.
Yeah, the issue he brings up are not even worth caring about. Start menu? Barely use the thing anymore. Any program I need to run are in my taskbar. I do the normal of slap it to the left and remove all of those recommendations. Was easily solved in the control panel. I have not experienced this laggyness that the youtuber brings up. Win11 runs just fine for me. I haven't even tried to debloat it other than just uninstalling various apps. Specially TikTok, I do not want Chinese spyware on my system. That is legit the only really bad thing about Win11 for me but it can be easily solved with an uninstall.
When I purchased this new hp laptop in Feb of this year. It came with windows 11. The first issue i had was moving downloads to a folder . Could not find anyway of doing that. So i ditched windows 11 and had windows 10 instaled.
I want to create a Linux Mint with Office Libre machine with a Windows 10 or 11 looking interface. Then trick a user or two into using it for a month or two for testing. Any projects already out there? As far as my Windows 11 issues: 1. Putting crap system setting interfaces and right click menus on top of the old ones. 2. Saying they fix issues like TPM and File Path +260 char issues, but making you jump through hoops to implement them. 3. Deliberately Forcing people to needlessly buy new OS'es and hardware. 4. Trying to force everything to the cloud where the nickel and dime you to death. 5. Forcing you to have a M$ account. 6. Putting bloatware, ads and games that you have to jump through hoops to ditch for your PROFESSIONAL version being used PROFESSIONALLY at a PROFESSIONAL job. 7. Still after, 35+ years not having an expandable nor copiable properties window. There could be 100s of lines in those little pop-ups, but no way to see or use it (see above hoop jumping) 8. Pushing cloud tech for management of your win 10/11 devices, but forcing you to pay more for any features, having to use 3rd party apps to get your data and yes... more hoop jumping. (I'm looking you Intune...) But after 30 years, I'm not bitter.
I just don't like how the whole thing feels designed to mine my data. I don't want to make an account. I don't want to adopt any additional Microsoft services. I don't want them to check and potentially deny installation of the files I download from the internet. I don't like the popups. I really just don't want my OS to suggest anything to me at any time. Just let me pay money for it and use it without trying to monetize on my data or upsell me services beyond that.
i just got a new Dell laptop at work three months ago and it just sucks. drivers where a mess and the workflow is just not intuitive. on my desktop i just switched to linux, because i hate windows 11 so much. like, why would you dumb down a perfectly good context menu in order to simplify it, but remove all important options? it feels like the options left are for 60 - 80 year olds who have no idea how to install additional software or use shortcuts of any kind. I'm just so frustrated by all of it and forcing me to create an account, even though i will never(!) use any of the features annoys me so much...and then have the audacity to collect my data and sell them for profit. Windows 12 would have to start where windows 10 left off and remove a lot of bloat and telemetry in order for me to even consider switching back to windows, although I'm a programmer and like to develop programs and apps in windows. which is why this is all so infuriating.... rant over
I upgraded yesterday and it began with the taskbar being locked at the bottom. I mean since Windows 95 you could move it all around the edges of the screen so how it is an upgrade to remove that feature. I have my taskbar at the top since 98SE. And for some reason MPC needs feeled 5 seconds for every video file to open in windows 11 while on windows 10 it happend instantly. Enough reason for me to rollback, bye bye W11.
On Win 10, If I wanted to copy and paste a file I just had to right click and the options would appear, now i am presented with stupid icons and I have to click more options to get what I want. Duh!
I hate Win10. I've never used Win 7. I like Win 8.1. It doesn't need a lot of clicks to do stuff, and it has more options to customize the interface. Win 10 sucks the most when it tries to show in the taskbar which window is on the top. Its unbelievably stupid color is just the reverse of what should look like. Its windows defender always delete normal files, but never protects you from the real harm. Its just stupid downgrade from Win 8.1. Win 11... I have no expect from it. It looks like the trash fruit system.
@MrMamfbr well windows 7 is unsupported on modern systems unless your a genius well windows 8.1 has also lost most support. I personlly like both 8.1 and 10. hate windows 11 still a bugy mess. Windows 10 usually washes out colors and I get greyish pixelz.
@@hanyung8457 win 8.1 had a bad fame because its interface was design for tablets... which almost no one had a windows tablet at that time. So a lot of desktop users were stuck with an interface not designed for them.
Windows 11 is a pain. My best friend has it installed on her computer. We're both gamers who use mods. The functionality and ridiculous amounts just to do/fix something took us AN HOUR. Also, when we played the same game with the exact same mods installed the exact same way, her W11 kept CTD while my W10 kept playing. She kept getting so frustrated that she nearly threw her desktop across the room. Removing features that we NEED and requiring an online account just to use it - my bills are high enough as it is. And everyone don't always have Internet access. So what the hell! Can you stop making it so complicated? 😡
My friend just stopped by the other day completely frustrated about his new laptop so I downgraded to Windows 10 now he’s happy thanks for a great video keep it up🤘😎
9:38 I have a question, how to disable auto upgrade to Windows 11 while keeping the automatic patch updates enabled. I had to downgrade 2 times on my dad’s laptop since I don’t want to miss-out the patched.
YOU CANT TURN OFF TINY TASKBAR ICONS?! I am literally going to cancel this win 11 installer that i have going which has already failed twice anyway. Holy shit. Maybe ill just stay on 10 forever. Looks like we have a Windows 7 skip on our hands again.
Windows 11: I like my top task bar... I don't want to be sold One Drive, Game Pass, 365, or told to set Edge as my default browser after every update... And thanks to Copilot+ and Recall even being announced, I can't risk shopping, banking, or filling out forms on Windows anymore, just for basic privacy... Microsoft, since you're the source of all these problems, we need to go our separate ways... It's not me, it's you... I'm with someone else now... Don't call me, it's over!
Its a failure. I will not upgrade to it. You have far less customization than Windows 10 and it is extremely irritating. After the Pandemic we expected a great release from Microsoft to lift our spirits. Instead we got meanness and TPM. The world really needed a pep up and got this miserable OS instead.
Windows 11 (clean install) was so unstable on my new computer - crashing a lot but now not under heavy load ... but, for example, typing text on online forms, or watching videos on UA-cam. All MS experts from Microsoft Support started to ask me me to check my hardware, not giving a clear solution even if I provided all traces. Crashes over crashes on a very new system, updated bios and drivers ... etc. Windows 10 was OK on the same hardware but as a smart man that I am, I decided to upgrade to Wingoz 11 by doing a clean install. That was the limit of patience. All possible crashes and instabilities and they (MS Support) keep telling me that the problem is on my side - they all know to introct you to memcheck or sfc /scannow or DISM*** and pretty much this is it. Then I've decided to check my hardware with Linux. I am not new to Linux, btw, I''m using Linux OS since Mandriva and ... Lindows (for the nostalgic crowd here). And guess what ... everything is working perfectly under heavy load or idle. Windows 11 crap is done for me. I've played only Insurgency Sandstorm under Windows (no more time for Arma) and guess what .. is working perfectly under Linux !. Next days I will try to move my Affinity suite over Wine - if it will not work well --> Inkscape time - back to the roots.
I think they hired the Android team to develop Win 11. I too have been using Windows since 3.1 and I think Win 7 was the best and should have just been upgraded. Win 8, 10 and 11 was made for tablets and touch screens.
I'm with you. Windows 7 was the pinnacle in so many ways. Although personally, I do prefer the Start Menu of Windows 10. I actually quite like the live tiles and the vastly improved search in Start. But in every other way, Windows 7 is the greatest Windows of all time, with XP shortly behind.
problems i faced after installing this shitty OS: 1. search feature which was perfect in XP/Vista/7 is very poor in windows 11, never understood why indexing was needed, it keeping crashing on its own 2. in-folder search is also very poor, it keeps crashing, it used to work fine on windows 11 3. my bluetooth option is no longer available. i reinstalled the drivers, nothing worked 4. projector isnt connecting, which used to happen seamlessly in 10 5. multiwindow user experience is inferior to windows 10
Windows 11 is essentially a hybrid of Mac UI + Android/iOS UI with Windows programs (but they're trying to force users to exclusively use their Microsoft App Store).
I have a perfect Acer Aspire 3. I can't run Windows 11 because of the system requirements. It has TPM, enough storage, Secure Boot, but it doesn't have one of the supported CPUs. I'd love to use 11, primarily due to software support, but I just can't. Maybe Windows 12 will fix these utterly useless system requirements?
No. In fact it will be even worse. I just started moving over my workflow to linux when they announced the system requirements. 2023 made me delete windows for good.
@@basilcat3111 Great. I can't move to Linux because there are apps that it doesn't support, so I guess I'll have to be stuck on an outdated operating system
I haven't changed to Windows 11 but I will note that every new version of Windows means that we have to adapt to some changes in the interface and capabilities, and a lot of people aren't comfortable with that. I know a couple of people who would still prefer Windows XP because they liked the look of it, notwithstanding the fact that internally Windows XP was pretty bad (See Dave's Garage interview with Dave Cutler of Microsoft if you don't believe that.).

Alright I'm pissed off, it's one thing to make me do twice the work to simply edit a text file but when MS decide its simply perfectly fine to remove CMD properties page and replace it with a limited one with no option to disable "quick edit" mode that absolutely causes hangs and other unwanted crap in the command prompt is just retarded. The only fix is a reg hack or group policy change which is simply ridiculous on a non domain connected machine and will result in copy and paste not working until you set it back. It's INSANE actually.
It's terrible, I tried it using it in bootcamp on my Mac Pro. Also tried it most recently on my new PC build which is running a 64 core Threadripper 3990X, Corsair Dominator Plat 2x32GB, 2 x nvidia titan rtx. Yet task manager constantly crashes and it can't even handle Adobe Premier Pro which also constantly crashes. About half of the time my monitor won't turn on after waking the PC due to Windows 11 not recognizing my wireless mouse or keyboard. Huge thumbs down. It's so bad that even the search bars in multiple applications, including desktop won't even work.
To be fair the only thing I hate more than Windows 11 is any Adobe products, especially Premiere.
They are obsessed with removing features to "simplify". Like, I have my taskbar at the left side in Win 10 and really do not want to give this up. It makes sense as monitors are wide rather than tall and it's conveniently out of the way when using applications. I don't want it staring at me using up space at the bottom. But they took that away in 11. I don't understand why they keep screwing with the UI. It's like every time a new car is released having a different way of steering. Liked the steering wheel? Tough, get used to tank controls now!
You CAN move the task bar to the left on win11. There is an option to do that. I don't know why this guy is ranting about it.
Edit: It requires installing 3rd party applications since they removed the option to Registry edit with the last update. Yes, Win 11 (and MS) SUUUUUUCKS external oblong bodily features.

I had to upgrade my PC seeing that Steam was not supporting Windows 7 anymore. I was baffled by how regressive it was in terms of design and user accessibility. Windows 7 could support my monitor's resolution but 11 couldn't. I despised the fact WiFi connectivity can't be listed as a separate icon and bewildered as to why switching tabs and apps via the taskbar had this 'stickiness to it'.
My only compliant about my new PC is that it came with Windows 11.

@@Salmontoes Support for 10 finishes in less than 2 yrs.
It would be great if they've kept Win10 interface as a style, composition or whatever. I've always thought that the main strength od Windows is versatility and customizability. Yet Win11 crippled most of that.
Agreed. I used to organize the start menu into organized folders on Windows 7. They took away that ability with Windows 10, but at least they had the tiles that could be organized and grouped. Windows 11 just takes away everything.
Blame India
Windows and customizability? Obviously you have never used a Linux distribution with a KDE Desktop Environment. There is nothing personal on a Personal Computer with Windows. They all look the same and they all share their data with Microsoft. Why RENT ( yes, not buy!!!! read the license agreement ) and pay for an Operating System that has power over YOUR computer and data ( YES, Microsoft can revoke you using their OS and shut your computer down, therefor leaving it useless ) and sells your data to the highest bidder ( personalized adds ). Not even mentioning Google ( Android ) and Apple.

In general, I don't like how microsoft is treating their users as children, or idiots, more and more "Oh, remember that setting or choices you had? They are now gone, we made it easier by choosing for you!". Do they really think PC users are all a bunch of old geezers that don't know how to setup their VCRs and a bunch of Gen Z kids that live on theirs phones?
i know, right? most people nowadays that uses windows are not the average joe. Average joes are using their phones to do most of the stuff. Most Windows users are either students or professionals.
I noticed my cpu usage would go up like crazy when using my mouse and controller, I downgraded to windows 10 and the issue was gone. Such an annoying bug that is keeping me from upgrading again. This and the overall system responsiveness is just terrible.
same I also upgraded to windows 10 from windows 11 cause it runs better then windows 11 which is like an Alzheimer's os
Lasted about a week using 11. Wouldn't have even been that long if I hadn't found a variety of work-arounds to get rid of the utter garbage they litteraly force onto the start menu. I don't only not wish to see "trending" ANYTHING on my screen ANYWHERE; not news, not searches, not ANYTHING...I refuse entirely to have it embedded in my daily OS of choice. A couple of registry edits sort most of it out, but they really can't provide a toggle switch? Seriously? Nor do I want or need the same "trending" trash plus additional advertising on my browser home page.
After trying out the new interface as it was designed (a cheap Apple style knock-off parody with less practical utility than the old Windows left side of the screen menu system) for a while, it had to go. Found a script to make Windows at least look and function more like it should and ok! Only problem now is it's slower than Windows 10 for almost everything. Might be because I custom de-bloat Win 10, turn off all the "eye candy" effects, and do not under any circumstances use the laggy default apps, but...yeah, that is probably why Win 10 runs faster for me. I trim all the fat from it, and install lean and fast apps.
I'm sure some of that is possible on Windows 11 too, and I ran a script that attempted to debloat it and disable unnecessary background services etc, but I couldn't persevere with it longer than a week. There were no advantages to using it at all; none.
Clearly they are not aiming for the power user demographic, to put it nicely. The same people that used Win 10 vanilla, didn't know how much better and faster Irfanview and VLC were, and thought it was amazing to have animated transitions when opening a window...I'm sure those people will be utterly delighted by the centralised menu button and how it looks more like their friends expensive Mac!
Good for them I say! You enjoy! Maybe in another 5-6 years Win 11 will have developed enough and been developed and rationalised enough to be useable by users who like to get under the hood and tune the engine, so to speak, but it's not looking like that kind of OS right now.
MS still trying to force their crappy default apps is cringeworthy, and nothing more than an inconvenience for someone that wants to use Firefox or Chrome, yet still has Edge opening up links from the search bar etc. It's....well...not for me.
You can remove all of those recommendations in the start menu, if you actually bothered to look around in the control panel. I found it myself within the first day.
The only interface change that actually changed in Win11 is the start menu but even that for me isn't an issue. I use it so little already and even on previous Windows versions that it doesn't matter what they do to it. But I slapped it to the left side, removed all of the recommendations with a few clicks and called it a day. Sure Win10 has a better Startmenu but because I barely use it, meh.
Debloat? Laggy apps?
What are you trying to Windows on? A single core CPU from 2000?
Nothing in Windows 11 has lagged for me when I use it. Just got a bog standard SSD that it's installed on.
I have run Win11 for several months now but I have not needed to click any links in the start menu. Mainly because if I'm gonna search the web it's through google.
Edge is also just as fast as Chrome is. It's a functional browser now and it only gets hate because it's the Microsoft default one.
It's not like they are trying to stop you too. In Edge if you type in Firefox in the address bar it'll directly link to their homepage.
@@Zefar77 Which as you probably know is the default joke for why people use Edge and all the way back to Intenet Expoorer; "you have to use it to download a decent browser".
I didn't go looking through the options for how to remove all the trending stuff. I have used debloat scripts on every version of Windows since XP, and it usually all taken care of with a few clicks, as well as other stuff that is definitely not found in the options and needs registry edits etc.
In comparison to Win 10, which I dual booted to compare, Win 11 was slightly laggier even after debloat on my machines. If you didn't run them side by side and one after the other to test them out, you might not notice the slight lag I guess.
@@Zefar77 I can't say Edge is actually terrible, but it's not what I'm used to, and it is missing some customisation features, add-ons etc that I personally need and use daily. I couldn't be bothered even taking the time to pick all the crap out if it, and believe me, I do streamline and customise Chrome and FF to suit my usage needs exactly.
As an advanced user, Windows 11 feels like a children's version. It's taking too long to do what should be simple tasks.
Everyone can't upgrade to Win11 because Win11 is a downgrade, not an upgrade
I moved to Linux and havent turned back. I have to use win 11 at work and it is a hot mess dumpster fire. Slow, memory hog, lags up all the time and is about as configurable as the useless brick that it is. I hate calling it an upgrade from 10 or even 7 because it is just getting worse. Pure garbage. *this is my optimistic view, my more critical review is not safe for consumption and would destroy the human race.
My nephew's Windows 10 Education Pro OS (or whatever it's called) had the Windows 11 "Upgrade" scheduled so what did I do? Look up how to block that garbage and now it won't change to 11.
I also cleaned up his notebook (it had a lot of junk programs and unnecessary antivirus which was more of an annoyance than actually useful).
I'm also experiencing performance problems in relatively new Ryzen7 laptop (R7 4700U, 16GB RAM, 500GB SSD). It's not freezing but sometimes it's getting sluggish. Most of apps work perfectly fine but from time to time it bahaves like a trackpad was made of jelly. After dragging a window I have to wait for it to keep up. It doesn't take long time - usually fractions of second but it's really annoying. It feels like DPI reduced and everything slowed down accordingly. I haven't found any solution - updating bios, disabling bitlocker, installing newest drivers, older drivers, clean windows install... Nothing helped
The touchpad issue is really annoying and after the introduction of copilot in the taskbar even in 22H2, whole OS is noticeably slower.😐
as a laptop repair technician, the settings app is so confusing. and when i start to go into the control panel settings sometimes the clients feel like i'm tampering with their device

I just went back to Windows 10 Pro and it made me realize just how bad Windows 11 sucks! Windows 10 has a better taskbar, context menu, fewer clicks to do anything, runs better on whatever hardware you have, and even has a better audio stack (sounds better). Windows 11 is akin to Windows 8, just because they could make it does not mean they should have. Windows 10 is the best OS ever made by MS, along with Windows 7. 11 is stupidly setup and Microsoft has had time to fix the screw ups!
The other issue is, Windows 11 was supposed to be a "prettier" version (it's not!) of Windows 10, but all they managed to do was make it look like a cheap tablet/Apple OS clone and dumb it down. Two clicks for everything, no way to customize this without hacks or third party? Whoever though it was a good idea to make it like this is beyond me!
Thanks for you objective review of win 11, I keep watching reviews every 6months waiting for a good one, but I can't justify it at all.
Glad for the details you described, cheers!
Objective? Lmao, not at all
This is not an objective review of Windows 10 at all. It outright lies about Windows 10 being faster, Microsoft optimised Windows 11 some time ago so that SSD read and write speeds are significantly faster on Windows 11. Windows 10 HDR support is almost non existant and the DirectStorage support is extremely bare bones. There's also no support for Direct X 12 Ultimate
This review is not good. Microsoft fixed most of the issues, and at this point it's a repeat of Vista, and even 10, where people just blindly hate on it because they're used to the previous version.
I'm glad somebody else said it: the Windows XP and 7 era Control Panel is still objectively far superior to the new Settings app. I still go to Control Panel on Win10 for all my needs, and avoid the default Settings app as much as is possible.
The only reason I stuck with Windows 11 over Windows 10 was all the issues I had with multiple monitor setups in Windows 10. Monitors would disconnect when the computer was going to sleep, and on wake-up, all my icons or open programs would be move to the primary monitor. Extremely irritating. Windows 11 does not have this problem. As much as I prefer Windows 10 to Windows 11, I can't deal with that Windows 10 issue.
My PC doesn't have any issues and I have 2 monitors, there are no problems. When I installed Windows 10 alongside Windows 11, I had no problems with my 2 monitors. When I shut my computer down or put it to sleep and I fire it back up, both monitors come to life and it will continue working no problem. You should stay on Windows 10.
This is inevitable when you have Indian programmers controling Microsoft
No grandpa, the scammers that call you claiming to be from Microsoft are not actually doing development work on windows OS.
Thank you for the video, I am on 10 and was curious because my system says or basically is asking me to install 11, I'm sure I don't want it now;)...
The system requirements is honestly the best part since it helps people avoid installing malware on their PCs.
☺
The moment i upgraded to Win 11 my wife left me. So now i can't perform ingame nor in bed.
I actually quite like the transluscent feature. My first computer was a Win10, so I never got to try it, but I wish they'd make it just an OPTION, instead of either forcing one or the other.
I am obsessed with optimisation. I need to work fast and cleanly.
I don't know why they won't let you customise more of the install to your needs. Bloat and junk trigger my OCD. lol...
I need a light footprint. I only use ONE program on my PC, and that's for music production. Some of the audio sample based instruments take up 10GB of RAM themselves as they load all the audio into memory for latency reasons when playing music.
So, my studio computer is still on Windows 10. (I would have stuck with stripped down Win7 even... but forced to upgrade to get the apps to work)
The idea of installing a FORTY GIGAGBYTE OS is utterly INSANE to me.
Windows 3.1 was 20 MB
Windows 95 I don't think was even more than a few hundred MB.
XP was around 4GB I think.
I'm using stripped down TINY 10, it's brilliant. Quarter the Size, EVERYTHING unnecessary stripped out.
Settings in Windows XP to 7 was perfect. I memorised everything and it was one click to what you wanted. And anything sub-menu was at least in the right section.
Listen Microsoft.... fucking about with the System Settings folder by moving things around, hiding stuff AND ADDING MORE SUB MENUS is not an OS upgrade!!!!!
You are correct. Locking it down compared to 10 is a big mistake, along with all the other changes. Basically they took the steering wheel and moved it to the back seat and the brake pedal to the glove box. At M$ there is no cure for stupid.
The Start Menu and the right click are the two reasons I hope to skip Windows 11 until they pull their head out of their ass.
Lmao. Why I hate Windows 11, is ALL OF IT!!!!!! Do not upgrade to W11 again. Even when Windows 10 becomes obsolete, I probably still use it, and might never change my mind again... cause if Windows 11 looks like shit, then later in the future EVERYTHING WILL LOOK LIKE SHIT!!!!!!!
And additionally, if I ever buy any PC that comes with the stupidest OS to exist, theb I might install Windows 10 in all of them!!
I'm pretty sure whoever was in charge of the decision making got whacked one too many times on the head, how can someone be so out of touch? I have no other explanation. I will be forever stuck on Windows 10 until they come around rectifying all of this nonsense.
I find after using Windows PC's for years that now I have to be a real techi to fix anything, get something to work right, there are loads of places to go to to get the "parts of something" to set it up rights. Many Microsoft 'helps" are still for Windows 10. I liked the control panel controlling all aspects of a printer, WiFi etc. I might to to Apple for next computer even if it costs more. I will have to test it out for what I do on my computer-not a gamer-just use in ordinary ways. But I have an iPhone, iPad and having all Apple would be logical-I think.
Microsoft apparently never heard of, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." Honestly, I wish they would just keep the visual look of Windows XP or Windows Aero (Vista/7) or even the Windows Classic (9X series) as those are the definitive, iconic looks people think of when you think "Windows." Moving away from that into mobile territory is a big mistake. I thought they learned that lesson with Windows 8, but they seem to be repeating it with 11. Give me the look of Windows 7 with the OS of Windows 10 and I'll be a happy man.
Got Win11 on a new laptop, and it took me 5 minutes to find the shutdown button.
Going to replace it with W10 and Linux.
In the days of Windows 7 I couldn't imagine myself using anything other than Windows. Now it's 2023 and been using Linux for nearly a month. Get your OS together, Microsoft.
Had to downgrade my WINDOWS 11 PC to Windows 10 because the audio driver MADE FOR WINDOWS 11 doesn't work on it...
I had a freakish issue with Windows 11. over t he ethernet my upload speed was severely throttled to less than 1kb I did not have that issue on that same machine on windows 10 or on linux or on windows 11 on another machine. I used GIGABYTE X470 AORUS ULTRA GAMING integrated lan which is a intel one. after an afternoon of trying to trouble shoot it I gave up and reinstalled windows 10. I'm not touching 11 with a 10 foot pole.
"Live tiles don't you miss them, too?"
I definitely do not and prefer my PC experience clean from that bloatware. haha
It was the only way to organize applications efficiently on Windows 10, and some of the live tile features were actually useful.
Besides, Windows 11 has far more bloatware than Windows 10.
You’ve clearly never had a use for them why even comment about it
Don't install it, I regret I did after windows 10. WIndows 11 is reinventing the wheel in a bad way, lots of things are missing, like clock, programs installed list (yes), long times starting programs or games (rtx 4090, 5950k, 128 gb here), plugging icons on a taskbar is not working and also notifications. It's really bad and luggy
I reverted to 10 and it's way better
On my Ryzen 5 2600 + 16 Gb RAM + RX 570 4 Gb + NVMe M.2 SSD it took about 6-10 seconds to open volume applet (or what it called in English version of Windows?). So, to switch to another output device I should click, wait about 10 seconds and than click again and click to choose one. It started to work like this after a few month of using Windows 11 so I downgraded to Windows 10 now. It runs flawlessly)
Upd.: the overall theme with this transparencies and all looks good
Personally I am UNINSTALLING Windows 11 Pro and going back to Windows 10 Pro, I am sick and tired of Windows 11 being the "Windows ME of 2023" and making all my subscription look and feel like a Clunky Turd.
Dude same, you've got exactly my point here. 🤣
Even Windows ME was better and pleasant to use than Windows 11 ever was.
Good luck. because if you don't remove Win 11 with in 10 days you basically have to reformat your machine and loose all the sofware
Creating desktop shortcuts of your apps are a pain in the ass in Win 11.
After clicking the Windows button, choosing the "all apps" button on the top right. You can drag the app to your desktop to create a shortcut.
Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC... All of Microsoft's tracking and spyware has been ripped out.. And when apps finally start complaining about me still using 10, I'll most likely make the switch to Mint or ubuntu-cinnimon. I won't use a spyware os. I won't install windows 11, and any other future versions of windows as long as they keep up with this horse shit.
This is why allot of people ( that are not gamers for the most part) are going mac these days.
Well, I'd go for Linux.
I'm using 10 Enterprise LTSC and very happy with it, plus it has extended support until 2029 so I'm good.
Windows 11 can go f itself.
I've worked extensively with both, and while MacOS is still nice in some regards, it hasn't been updated in forever. I hate the centered taskbar because the icon placement shifts with each application launched, which destroys any muscle memory. There are replacements like uBar, but the switch to M2 chips has resulted in a buggy, crash prone experience. The battery life is absolutely amazing though.
@@DustinHalstead
If you need muscle memory for the Dock, then you're mentally challenged. No one has experienced any issues with the M2 chips. I think your brain needs a restart.
I'm tempted to offer a $500 bounty for anyone who can get Windows 7 August 208 to run on my new Ryzen 7950x with 128gb I just built.
TechniQualities: MERELY GLANCED this vid during the time I (had too, alas) switch to today's Win 11. YOU ARE SO RIGHT. If an OS is better "deep" (assuming it is) but crappier on the surface, simple actions... then the unDEVELOPERS are out-of-touch. Period. --- 1) Where is my fast, efficient Win 7 Preview mode? 2) Why are simple commands like Copy, Cut, Paste all on a tier 2 window??? 3) Why do I have to go to the same tier-2 to Refresh? 4) WHY file are lists desperately in need of closer kerning and probably should also have a bold option???. --- I can't even imagine all the crap you've uncovered, but I'm with you out of the gate! WHY AM I MISSING WINDOWS 7? --- Developers need to connect with every day users, the worst to the best, and understand that they should be improving on a product without arbitrarily destroying the best of said product in the process. It's so frustrating and depressing. (anyway, if you... or anyone reading this... have any answers or ideas on my bitches,much appreciated. (Keep fighting the good fight... We may never win it... but at least our souls will remain intact)

The most annoying is a failed update, which will throw blue screen errors like it's actually a nice thing to see. Another blue screen and I will be hading for windows 10 or outright ubuntu
This review was hilarious, and i found it really entertaining. I personally do not like Windows 11, and i find it so irritating. Windows 10 is so much better and easier.
I think when things are running good for a company, they sometimes get bored and lose their minds and rearrange things, thinking that they’re improving their company, when they’re actually ruining everything but they don’t realise it. Window 11 is like they got a bunch of DIY cannabis tech guys to see what they can come up with.
Right click on something on Windows 11 and lose your mind wth, it’s about making it simple, not making it confusing.
I believe ever since Microsoft has made them look stupid (Circa 2011), THEY STARTED CONSUMING DRUGS!!!!!
I agree. Windows 11 even on 4k mkv video playback on a 4090 is oddly jittery than on older Windows 10. I have used klite mega codec, potplayer, vlc, etc. Each has the same result. Even after toggling the video enhancement feature in win11 on/off. Win 10 is so much smoother and easier to use. You don't have a UI on top of an older UI lol. That's basically what windows 11 is. Its just a fancier UI over top of windows 10. More bulk = less performance.
I'm sticking with Windows 7. And I know I'm not the only one! 😆
Good luck running any new game that releases in 2023 on it then, because more and more developers are not supporting Windows 7 anymore
@@acurisur New game? Lol nobody releases new games anymore. They're all remakes and remasters of old shit anyway, or live service models, like GTA V Online and Elder Scrolls Online.
@@UnchainedEruption Alan Wake 2 on Windows 7 would be funny. As would any Direct X Ultimate game, which Windows 7 doesn't support.
Guess you'll be playing old games then from now on.
Ever since I downloaded windows 11 it's been thing after thing.
(On a laptop mind you)
When I downloaded it immediately Bluetooth stopped working (for everything speakers, head phones, mouses, keyboards.) Downloaded it when it came out and kept it updated. To this day still doesn't work.
My keyboards started to not work and I'd have to completely reboot laptop to get it to work.
Just recently my wifi just goes away. I had to find the wifi in the search bar because it wasn't accessible anywhere!!! WTF
You can't even move the taskbar to the side of the screen to get more screen real estate. Windows 11 is a raging dumpster fire.
Yes you can.
@@acurisur No you can't. Idiot.
Dude same.
So what do we think today? Upgrade or not?
1:05 -- I feel you 🤣, there are much better design concept out there. I wonder when will Microsoft get the inspiration to hire them instead.
Microsoft fixed a problem that wasn't broken just because they wanted to do exactly what Apple was doing. Apple created MacOS 11, so Microsoft created Windows 11. Seriously, why does everyone copy off of Apple? I ended up switching to Linux because it's more secure, stable, and Bing-free.
Agreed. Hey MicroSoft.. If I wanted Apple I'd buy Apple.. Get It??
Yeah the search made me switch to Linux I hate the start menu search
I have windows 11 Home on three devices, and a Pro version on one. two have supported hardware, and two older ones don't, but I loaded it on them anyway (there's a few methods, available online on how to do this) All four get their updates, an have been running fine for almost two years now. I've debloated them pretty thin, and use the free Windows Defender that they come with. There are settings, options, or even registry setting changes to tweak this OS to your liking. I know many folk who really don't like dealing with Linux distros, or IMac's IOS systems, ...I guess it's just personal choice. But saying that Windows 11 is a lousy system?.... no. It's actually one of the better ones out there these days.
Yeah, the issue he brings up are not even worth caring about.
Start menu? Barely use the thing anymore. Any program I need to run are in my taskbar.
I do the normal of slap it to the left and remove all of those recommendations. Was easily solved in the control panel.
I have not experienced this laggyness that the youtuber brings up. Win11 runs just fine for me. I haven't even tried to debloat it other than just uninstalling various apps. Specially TikTok, I do not want Chinese spyware on my system. That is legit the only really bad thing about Win11 for me but it can be easily solved with an uninstall.
Thank you for the right click menu solution! I did not know it could be done :)
When I purchased this new hp laptop in Feb of this year. It came with windows 11. The first issue i had was moving downloads to a folder . Could not find anyway of doing that. So i ditched windows 11 and had windows 10 instaled.
I want to create a Linux Mint with Office Libre machine with a Windows 10 or 11 looking interface. Then trick a user or two into using it for a month or two for testing. Any projects already out there? As far as my Windows 11 issues:
1. Putting crap system setting interfaces and right click menus on top of the old ones.
2. Saying they fix issues like TPM and File Path +260 char issues, but making you jump through hoops to implement them.
3. Deliberately Forcing people to needlessly buy new OS'es and hardware.
4. Trying to force everything to the cloud where the nickel and dime you to death.
5. Forcing you to have a M$ account.
6. Putting bloatware, ads and games that you have to jump through hoops to ditch for your PROFESSIONAL version being used PROFESSIONALLY at a PROFESSIONAL job.
7. Still after, 35+ years not having an expandable nor copiable properties window. There could be 100s of lines in those little pop-ups, but no way to see or use it (see above hoop jumping)
8. Pushing cloud tech for management of your win 10/11 devices, but forcing you to pay more for any features, having to use 3rd party apps to get your data and yes... more hoop jumping. (I'm looking you Intune...)
But after 30 years, I'm not bitter.
I just don't like how the whole thing feels designed to mine my data.
I don't want to make an account.
I don't want to adopt any additional Microsoft services.
I don't want them to check and potentially deny installation of the files I download from the internet.
I don't like the popups.
I really just don't want my OS to suggest anything to me at any time.
Just let me pay money for it and use it without trying to monetize on my data or upsell me services beyond that.
i just got a new Dell laptop at work three months ago and it just sucks.
drivers where a mess and the workflow is just not intuitive.
on my desktop i just switched to linux, because i hate windows 11 so much.
like, why would you dumb down a perfectly good context menu in order to simplify it, but remove all important options?
it feels like the options left are for 60 - 80 year olds who have no idea how to install additional software or use shortcuts of any kind.
I'm just so frustrated by all of it and forcing me to create an account, even though i will never(!) use any of the features annoys me so much...and then have the audacity to collect my data and sell them for profit. Windows 12 would have to start where windows 10 left off and remove a lot of bloat and telemetry in order for me to even consider switching back to windows,
although I'm a programmer and like to develop programs and apps in windows. which is why this is all so infuriating....
rant over
I upgraded yesterday and it began with the taskbar being locked at the bottom. I mean since Windows 95 you could move it all around the edges of the screen so how it is an upgrade to remove that feature. I have my taskbar at the top since 98SE. And for some reason MPC needs feeled 5 seconds for every video file to open in windows 11 while on windows 10 it happend instantly. Enough reason for me to rollback, bye bye W11.
Tell us what you really think, lol... Great summary, and I agree with you 100% !!
On Win 10, If I wanted to copy and paste a file I just had to right click and the options would appear, now i am presented with stupid icons and I have to click more options to get what I want. Duh!
Windows 11 login password is not showing so I can’t enter windows 11 sucks full of bugs and can’t update hewlett packard usb,install error
Yah that's why I'm still using Windows 7. LOL
The new windows 12 is going to be a lot worse, it would have been better for MS. to stay and develop Win 10 and make that the final OS.
I've had enough, I'm going to the dark side and switching to Macbook Pro M2.
Why does every single windows program run slow? Why dows my browser freeze for several seconds every time I start a download?
It takes some time to upload all your data and what you are doing to M$! 🤣
I hate Win10. I've never used Win 7.
I like Win 8.1. It doesn't need a lot of clicks to do stuff, and it has more options to customize the interface.
Win 10 sucks the most when it tries to show in the taskbar which window is on the top. Its unbelievably stupid color is just the reverse of what should look like.
Its windows defender always delete normal files, but never protects you from the real harm.
Its just stupid downgrade from Win 8.1.
Win 11... I have no expect from it. It looks like the trash fruit system.
Dear lord, a win 8.1 fan. the devil is afraid of you 🤣
@MrMamfbr well windows 7 is unsupported on modern systems unless your a genius well windows 8.1 has also lost most support. I personlly like both 8.1 and 10. hate windows 11 still a bugy mess. Windows 10 usually washes out colors and I get greyish pixelz.
@@hanyung8457 win 8.1 had a bad fame because its interface was design for tablets... which almost no one had a windows tablet at that time. So a lot of desktop users were stuck with an interface not designed for them.
Windows 11 is a pain. My best friend has it installed on her computer. We're both gamers who use mods. The functionality and ridiculous amounts just to do/fix something took us AN HOUR. Also, when we played the same game with the exact same mods installed the exact same way, her W11 kept CTD while my W10 kept playing. She kept getting so frustrated that she nearly threw her desktop across the room.
Removing features that we NEED and requiring an online account just to use it - my bills are high enough as it is. And everyone don't always have Internet access. So what the hell! Can you stop making it so complicated? 😡
My friend just stopped by the other day completely frustrated about his new laptop so I downgraded to Windows 10 now he’s happy thanks for a great video keep it up🤘😎
Very interesting, definitely cleared up some things for me.
9:38 I have a question, how to disable auto upgrade to Windows 11 while keeping the automatic patch updates enabled. I had to downgrade 2 times on my dad’s laptop since I don’t want to miss-out the patched.
What bothers me the most is the inabblity to remove that freakin recomended section in the start menu
Like who actually uses it or wants it
YOU CANT TURN OFF TINY TASKBAR ICONS?! I am literally going to cancel this win 11 installer that i have going which has already failed twice anyway. Holy shit. Maybe ill just stay on 10 forever. Looks like we have a Windows 7 skip on our hands again.
Windows 11: I like my top task bar... I don't want to be sold One Drive, Game Pass, 365, or told to set Edge as my default browser after every update... And thanks to Copilot+ and Recall even being announced, I can't risk shopping, banking, or filling out forms on Windows anymore, just for basic privacy...
Microsoft, since you're the source of all these problems, we need to go our separate ways... It's not me, it's you... I'm with someone else now... Don't call me, it's over!
Its a failure. I will not upgrade to it. You have far less customization than Windows 10 and it is extremely irritating. After the Pandemic we expected a great release from Microsoft to lift our spirits. Instead we got meanness and TPM. The world really needed a pep up and got this miserable OS instead.
Its forced uncustomization.
Windows 11 (clean install) was so unstable on my new computer - crashing a lot but now not under heavy load ... but, for example, typing text on online forms, or watching videos on UA-cam. All MS experts from Microsoft Support started to ask me me to check my hardware, not giving a clear solution even if I provided all traces. Crashes over crashes on a very new system, updated bios and drivers ... etc. Windows 10 was OK on the same hardware but as a smart man that I am, I decided to upgrade to Wingoz 11 by doing a clean install. That was the limit of patience. All possible crashes and instabilities and they (MS Support) keep telling me that the problem is on my side - they all know to introct you to memcheck or sfc /scannow or DISM*** and pretty much this is it. Then I've decided to check my hardware with Linux. I am not new to Linux, btw, I''m using Linux OS since Mandriva and ... Lindows (for the nostalgic crowd here). And guess what ... everything is working perfectly under heavy load or idle. Windows 11 crap is done for me. I've played only Insurgency Sandstorm under Windows (no more time for Arma) and guess what .. is working perfectly under Linux !. Next days I will try to move my Affinity suite over Wine - if it will not work well --> Inkscape time - back to the roots.
I think they hired the Android team to develop Win 11.
I too have been using Windows since 3.1 and I think Win 7 was the best and should have just been upgraded. Win 8, 10 and 11 was made for tablets and touch screens.
I'm with you. Windows 7 was the pinnacle in so many ways. Although personally, I do prefer the Start Menu of Windows 10. I actually quite like the live tiles and the vastly improved search in Start. But in every other way, Windows 7 is the greatest Windows of all time, with XP shortly behind.
How has this company not gone under?
problems i faced after installing this shitty OS:
1. search feature which was perfect in XP/Vista/7 is very poor in windows 11, never understood why indexing was needed, it keeping crashing on its own
2. in-folder search is also very poor, it keeps crashing, it used to work fine on windows 11
3. my bluetooth option is no longer available. i reinstalled the drivers, nothing worked
4. projector isnt connecting, which used to happen seamlessly in 10
5. multiwindow user experience is inferior to windows 10
This is why I’ve only used Mac’s for 20 years and will never buy a PC with Windows.
Windows 11 is essentially a hybrid of Mac UI + Android/iOS UI with Windows programs (but they're trying to force users to exclusively use their Microsoft App Store).
Rufus: can remove the TPM, RAm and CPu requirement, it will even create a local account for you :D
I have a perfect Acer Aspire 3. I can't run Windows 11 because of the system requirements. It has TPM, enough storage, Secure Boot, but it doesn't have one of the supported CPUs. I'd love to use 11, primarily due to software support, but I just can't. Maybe Windows 12 will fix these utterly useless system requirements?
No. In fact it will be even worse. I just started moving over my workflow to linux when they announced the system requirements. 2023 made me delete windows for good.
@@basilcat3111 Great. I can't move to Linux because there are apps that it doesn't support, so I guess I'll have to be stuck on an outdated operating system
I haven't changed to Windows 11 but I will note that every new version of Windows means that we have to adapt to some changes in the interface and capabilities, and a lot of people aren't comfortable with that. I know a couple of people who would still prefer Windows XP because they liked the look of it, notwithstanding the fact that internally Windows XP was pretty bad (See Dave's Garage interview with Dave Cutler of Microsoft if you don't believe that.).
you just got a sub you made me laugh so much.... I miss windows 98SE. my fav os.
Whatever, XP was the best.
