@@f.d.gibson2311what the fuck are you on about mate? In case you haven't noticed we live in a capitalist shithole in which everything is driven by the desire to make the most profit not the best product
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
@@mightymight365 Another "person" that does not read. Ian is talking about the taskbar, NOT the start menu! A smart user will put that massive taskbar on the LEFT (or RIGHT) side of the screen, as most monitors are 16:9. So when you put a taskbar on the left side, you gain a lot of extra vertical space for stuf like browsing, code editing, viewing comics, and so much more, as most our work content is vertical focused, not horizontal. MS removed this feature for some unknow stupid reason, despite that we have 16:9 and even worse with ultra wide monitors, where a insane amount of space is wasted. Its like that stupid bar with Mac OS and Linux Gnome constantly being on the top. Smart people have long learned, that placing it left, is a massive space saver and gives you a lot of free extra real-estate without the need to buy a 16:10 monitor!
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.
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.
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
@@emmettdaster Just imagine how great the current version of Windows would have been if Microsoft had instead kept the Windows 7 UI as Base Template when developing future versions...
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.
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
@@andrei007ps I've seem too many cases of people losing their windows keys after they messed something up, a Microsoft account maintains your keys on the account in case you have to reset or reinstall windows
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
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 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.
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🤘😎
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!!!!!
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 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...
@@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
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
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.
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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 still prefer windows 7.on my desktop and windows 10 on my 6 year old laptop held together with duct tape and bulldog clips. Thinking of getting a new laptop, do you suggest a Chromebook?
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 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'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.
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.
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.
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
I have a Dell 3620 with a i7 7700 cpu, and it is running W7. The reason I hate W7, is that it doesn't play nice with my SSD. Hangs on boot with HD light on, and blank screen, which requires a couple of hard reboots to fix. I did a full reset which fixed the problem for about a month. Think I will just leave the computer on 24/7.
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.
can you make a video on how to downgrade to windows 10 without losing my data and explaining what happens if you downgrade ? im new to this kind of stuff tyty
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? 😡
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.
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'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.
I hate that you cant use the previous networking adapter settings. WIndows 10 and 8.1 allowed you to decrease the the buffer size to 1 byte but Windows 11 has a pop out that forces you to set it minimum of 32.... Maybe some dont understand why I want it so low? well latency. I dont really care about the small possible amout of packet loss because my connection and cpu is fast enough. And yeah I like windows 8.1 better than 11.
Literally everything you said. But the final straw for me was that after I tried to move my user profile to another disk, as I did in every windows before. The microsoft store apps got corrupted and while trying to fix it, more and more break - even for newly created user accounts, which shouldnt be affected by another broken user profile... And because half of the user interface relies on that shit (like the start menu). I just thought: lets scrap everything and start over. First I wanted to reinstall windows 11 again but after I created the windows 11 installation medium via the media creation tool, I started to think: why should I reinstall windows 11, because of how much it sucks? It was constantly annoying. It always felt unreliable (which was proven by how easily the system can be broken without the possibility to recover). So I ended up redownloading windows 10 and hoped that my windows 11 key will be accepted for windows 10. It was accepted during installation and it automatically activated my fresh installation of windows 10 with my windows 11 key. Now I am reinstalling everything else and oh god, does windows 10 feel so much superior, after using windows 11 for months now (on an absolute highe end computer btw.)... Also moveing my profile was a non issue, even the store and the store apps work... (Just Microsoft Teams isnt starting, the usual white screen, but because its a private computer and its not absoultely necessary, I just ditch Teams, still wondering why Microsoft Software always works the worst on Windows...)
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.
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 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
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.
It's nice to know that MS has learned so much from the WindowsMe and Windows Vista/Longhorn disasters. *cough* That we users enjoyed both WinXP and Windows7 was probably a motivating factor in MS shelving both.
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.
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
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.

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.
Win11 seems to be the solution to Intel's 12th and 13th gen CPU support aspect... and maybe some newer DirectX-related DirectStorage technology playground... Wind10 seems more stable/usable. But frankly, I'm finding KDE on recent linux distro releases to offer the best UI/configurability... Since or if Microsoft is planning Windows 12 be released soon, I wonder if they're even capable of fixing all the issues with and resource usage hogging of Win11. This only means there's a possiblity the ROG Ally to be released soon may be very much impacted negatively by their usage of Windows... I really wish Asus sat down with MS techs and prepared a stripped-down variant of Windows for their console, a slimmed-down Windows that's still full Windows and not completely cut down XboxOS, albeit without resource hogs, eg. using all those tools to neuter/strip MS useless "extras", or such problems as mentioned, especially since it's supposed to get some kind of console-like UI skin... at least an important factor should be of the Windows modern stand-by with correct sleep mode/hibernate working on a handheld device - so many people already spoke of its problems - if it's not fixed by Asus & MS, ROG Ally topped up before leaving home may be without juice by the time you actually sit down somewhere to use it... Such small but impactful problems need urgent fixes before the UI ones... Otherwise, we might be seeing people attempting to install SteamOS on ROG Allies once they are released 11th of May... all to fix Windows issues and niggles, to better game on handheld devices that then would run abstraction/translation layers/tools to work with Windows binaries...
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 got a new laptop today 17in hp. I booted into windows one time for initial setup. Rebooted into bios, configured for linux install, wiped windows, installed linux. Windows is so trash it boggles the mind that it's so popular.
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...

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
4:49 You can actually move the task bar to the left and you can definitely remove the icons like chat via the settings. You need to do your due diligence and check if it's really not possible to do something before making bold claims.
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.
Thanks so much for sharing! Many of the reasons you mentioned is why I moved to Mac OS. It took me some time to get used to it, but now I am so happy with it. I might get back to windows in the future. It all depends on Microsoft.
Macos is just so much more customizable and stable than 10 or 11, although I really love how beautiful Windows 11 is and how many games it can run, but for anything that I actually care about such as school or creative apps, I'm sticking to macos because I don't want my PC freezing up, turning off randomly, or being stuck on a black screen
@@thatrawk Are you running on an M2 chip? We were all issued MacBooks for my last job. My dev team and I were always experiencing crashes, freezing, etc. Admittedly, we push our machines pretty hard, but I've never experienced so many issues throughout my development career.

Windows 11 is why I stopped dual-booting linux. I am a full-time Fedora user now.

- Extra clicks, especially context menu.

1) Can be easily changed.
2) Really not a big deal.
3) Again, can be easily disabled.

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.
Still on Windows 7, perfectly usable after all these years.
But in an online world it is not safe at all. If someone wants to harm you, they can do it fast and easy.
@@Yoyo34 I am awaiting their arrival.
You clearly have zero knowledge about how security updates work. Have a read of a few of them before installing em in your pc.
@@Yoyo34 it's more about common sense
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.
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.

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.
it's like 8.1 and vista had a child
A bastard child.😊
LOL, Made my day..... you should have included windows ME
Yeah
I agree, exactly that.
How did Microsoft manage to make the start menu of 11 worse than that of 95? I can't comprehend that.
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
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.
@@mightymight365 You can put it vertical on the left screen border can you?
@@mightymight365he is not talking about the start button. He is talking about moving the entire taskbar itself to the left.
@@mightymight365 Another "person" that does not read. Ian is talking about the taskbar, NOT the start menu! A smart user will put that massive taskbar on the LEFT (or RIGHT) side of the screen, as most monitors are 16:9. So when you put a taskbar on the left side, you gain a lot of extra vertical space for stuf like browsing, code editing, viewing comics, and so much more, as most our work content is vertical focused, not horizontal. MS removed this feature for some unknow stupid reason, despite that we have 16:9 and even worse with ultra wide monitors, where a insane amount of space is wasted. Its like that stupid bar with Mac OS and Linux Gnome constantly being on the top.
Smart people have long learned, that placing it left, is a massive space saver and gives you a lot of free extra real-estate without the need to buy a 16:10 monitor!
Auto hide and it is gone until you move the mouse all the way down...dafuq?
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.
there's a option in settings that lets you go back to windows 10
@@Salmontoes Support for 10 finishes in less than 2 yrs.
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.
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.
I heard somewhere that they may be releasing Windows 12 next year. But I don't know if it's actually from a legit source.
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
@@emmettdaster Just imagine how great the current version of Windows would have been if Microsoft had instead kept the Windows 7 UI as Base Template when developing future versions...
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.
Even 8.1 was a pleasure to use too
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
By far the biggest problem with Windows 11 for me is the fact that you can't install it without a Microsoft account even with the Pro version.
You can actually bypass that. It's not as simple as it used to be (like Win 8/8.1/10), but you can do it.

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.😐
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 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.
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🤘😎
For me is the fact that i cant hover an archive in any app/folder on the taskbar and open it automatically to drop said archive inside.
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!!!!!
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.
The system requirements is honestly the best part since it helps people avoid installing malware on their PCs.
☺
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...
I'm glad they made Win 11, otherwise they would have forced all these terrible changes on Win 10 users.
Thank you for the right click menu solution! I did not know it could be done :)

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.

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
"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.
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.
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
you just got a sub you made me laugh so much.... I miss windows 98SE. my fav os.
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.
Tell us what you really think, lol... Great summary, and I agree with you 100% !!
Very interesting, definitely cleared up some things for me.
I always feel like that Windows 11 is Windows 10 with a different design and less functions.
I'm so happy that I didn't upgrade to Windows 11.
hello,my friend.I was stuck between windows 10 and windows 11. After reading this comment, I decided to stay with win 10.
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 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.
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 still prefer windows 7.on my desktop and windows 10 on my 6 year old laptop held together with duct tape and bulldog clips. Thinking of getting a new laptop, do you suggest a Chromebook?

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....

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
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.
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.
I have a Dell 3620 with a i7 7700 cpu, and it is running W7. The reason I hate W7, is that it doesn't play nice with my SSD. Hangs on boot with HD light on, and blank screen, which requires a couple of hard reboots to fix. I did a full reset which fixed the problem for about a month. Think I will just leave the computer on 24/7.
My PC now runs on Windows 7 and Linux Mint. I'll think I'll keep it like that for a while.
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.
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.
can you make a video on how to downgrade to windows 10 without losing my data and explaining what happens if you downgrade ? im new to this kind of stuff tyty
You can only do that in the first month, After that, a clean (new) install is required
@@benjumper8838 awh that’s unfortunate, appreciate you tho !!
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? 😡
The moment i upgraded to Win 11 my wife left me. So now i can't perform ingame nor in bed.
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.
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 Don't use windows lol i use linux but i enjoy hearing the rants about windows 11.
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.
I hate that you cant use the previous networking adapter settings. WIndows 10 and 8.1 allowed you to decrease the the buffer size to 1 byte but Windows 11 has a pop out that forces you to set it minimum of 32.... Maybe some dont understand why I want it so low? well latency. I dont really care about the small possible amout of packet loss because my connection and cpu is fast enough. And yeah I like windows 8.1 better than 11.
Literally everything you said.
But the final straw for me was that after I tried to move my user profile to another disk, as I did in every windows before. The microsoft store apps got corrupted and while trying to fix it, more and more break - even for newly created user accounts, which shouldnt be affected by another broken user profile...
And because half of the user interface relies on that shit (like the start menu). I just thought: lets scrap everything and start over.
First I wanted to reinstall windows 11 again but after I created the windows 11 installation medium via the media creation tool, I started to think: why should I reinstall windows 11, because of how much it sucks? It was constantly annoying. It always felt unreliable (which was proven by how easily the system can be broken without the possibility to recover). So I ended up redownloading windows 10 and hoped that my windows 11 key will be accepted for windows 10.
It was accepted during installation and it automatically activated my fresh installation of windows 10 with my windows 11 key. Now I am reinstalling everything else and oh god, does windows 10 feel so much superior, after using windows 11 for months now (on an absolute highe end computer btw.)...
Also moveing my profile was a non issue, even the store and the store apps work...
(Just Microsoft Teams isnt starting, the usual white screen, but because its a private computer and its not absoultely necessary, I just ditch Teams, still wondering why Microsoft Software always works the worst on Windows...)
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.
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 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
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.
It's nice to know that MS has learned so much from the WindowsMe and Windows Vista/Longhorn disasters. *cough*
That we users enjoyed both WinXP and Windows7 was probably a motivating factor in MS shelving both.
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.
@@acurisur You are too dumb to believe windows 12 won't come out before 2025
@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.
@@astatine-linux-gd Oh how's that not good using Windows 7 for long? 🤷♂️
God people take their OS'es way too personally.
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
Does Windows 11 socks when using word documents?
I have never had so many problems with running games as well as crashes playing games that ran as smooth as on Win 10.
First Windows for me was 1.0 - Fancy, but you can''t do anything - at the same time I made Multiplan sheet and received some money.
win10 doesn't just feel faster. it is faster. try opening both up in virtual machines. you will see how sluggish win11 is.
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.
Rufus: can remove the TPM, RAm and CPu requirement, it will even create a local account for you :D
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.
I've had enough, I'm going to the dark side and switching to Macbook Pro M2.
Too many extra clicks to delete a file or folder for example. Thanks for sharing your thoughts! Good video and information!
Win11 seems to be the solution to Intel's 12th and 13th gen CPU support aspect... and maybe some newer DirectX-related DirectStorage technology playground... Wind10 seems more stable/usable. But frankly, I'm finding KDE on recent linux distro releases to offer the best UI/configurability... Since or if Microsoft is planning Windows 12 be released soon, I wonder if they're even capable of fixing all the issues with and resource usage hogging of Win11. This only means there's a possiblity the ROG Ally to be released soon may be very much impacted negatively by their usage of Windows... I really wish Asus sat down with MS techs and prepared a stripped-down variant of Windows for their console, a slimmed-down Windows that's still full Windows and not completely cut down XboxOS, albeit without resource hogs, eg. using all those tools to neuter/strip MS useless "extras", or such problems as mentioned, especially since it's supposed to get some kind of console-like UI skin... at least an important factor should be of the Windows modern stand-by with correct sleep mode/hibernate working on a handheld device - so many people already spoke of its problems - if it's not fixed by Asus & MS, ROG Ally topped up before leaving home may be without juice by the time you actually sit down somewhere to use it... Such small but impactful problems need urgent fixes before the UI ones... Otherwise, we might be seeing people attempting to install SteamOS on ROG Allies once they are released 11th of May... all to fix Windows issues and niggles, to better game on handheld devices that then would run abstraction/translation layers/tools to work with Windows binaries...
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 got a new laptop today 17in hp. I booted into windows one time for initial setup. Rebooted into bios, configured for linux install, wiped windows, installed linux. Windows is so trash it boggles the mind that it's so popular.
I want to use Windows 8 as before. but i can't update browser
Why do you do this to me? so sad T.T
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)

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
Multumesc mult de tot pentru clipuri ! Ma bucur pentru postarea referitoare la Windows 11 Sucks ! Asta e numele lui real !!!!
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.
4:49 You can actually move the task bar to the left and you can definitely remove the icons like chat via the settings. You need to do your due diligence and check if it's really not possible to do something before making bold claims.
ok
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.
Its slow, i use KDE Neon and its significantly more performant in day to day tasks
Had to downgrade my WINDOWS 11 PC to Windows 10 because the audio driver MADE FOR WINDOWS 11 doesn't work on it...
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.
Thanks so much for sharing! Many of the reasons you mentioned is why I moved to Mac OS. It took me some time to get used to it, but now I am so happy with it. I might get back to windows in the future. It all depends on Microsoft.
FUCK.
APPLE.
Macos is just so much more customizable and stable than 10 or 11, although I really love how beautiful Windows 11 is and how many games it can run, but for anything that I actually care about such as school or creative apps, I'm sticking to macos because I don't want my PC freezing up, turning off randomly, or being stuck on a black screen
@@thatrawk Are you running on an M2 chip? We were all issued MacBooks for my last job. My dev team and I were always experiencing crashes, freezing, etc. Admittedly, we push our machines pretty hard, but I've never experienced so many issues throughout my development career.
@@DustinHalstead Why do you keep making the same comments over and over again on this video? VERY FEW PEOPLE have HAD ANY ISSUES with the M2 chips. Are you using garbage, unoptimized software?
Maybe you need to learn how to use macOS.
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$! 🤣
That's why I'm on 7 even with alder lake
