Is 11 really that bad? I just bought a few OEM keys and was going to go ahead and install them. Just stinks cause I think 10 is good enough. What ever happened to “win10 will be the last”
"Is 11 really that bad?" ------> YEP
According to a very trusted source ---> W11 likes to rollover & play dead regularly
My source has a new laptop with factory installed W11, works remote & depends on the ability to be in meetings remotely (some key excerpts below)
- These are out of the box problems… PC came with Win 11 installed. I research the issues, there are many consumers screaming, the fixes usually do not work… it’s hard to test when you can’t on demand recreate the issue. But spending an hour every other week trying to get the PC thru a slow down/crash is too much. By the time I get the task manager open, I am out of patience. And it’s never obvious; there is no smoking gun.
- It took about an hour to get my computer running clean this morning. “Configuring security settings”
- The other issue I hit all the time is the file manager popping open/creating a new screen and stealing the PC’s attention. This is especially annoying when in meetings. Sometimes it takes minutes, sometimes hours, but it is… inevitable. Ah those cunning Microsloth programmers. A lot of people have this issue.
- The patch they were forcing that caused massive computer issues? Yeah, I BSODed on that one. I shut off updates for a week. Dipsticks knew they were hosing PCs worldwide, and still kept forcing the patch; KB5043145, back in October.
- Windows 7 was solid. Win 8 was a pig. Win 10 was a pig with lipstick. Win 11 is 10 lbs of manure stuffed into a 5 lb bag. Enough. MS will still be in business, and make $$. Just not my $$. I don’t do stupid, and Microsoft is the problem, not the solution.
(I will try the disable search indexing, disabling OneDrive. Neither is desirable.)
- OneDrive is one of the worst implementations of MS. I spent hours on the phone with the tier 3 tech repair debugging my system on different locations. The techs always successfully guided me to a successful conclusion… but both were in the 3 or 4 hour range. We did the same steps repeatedly, with small variations or variations in order until the system synched properly. Both sessions were prompted by frustrating file losses/denials. Lol, on the 1st occasion, I had to drive an hour back to work, place the file on a thumb drive, and drive back home to continue work on my home PC. So no, I no longer use OneDrive under any circumstances. Stupid implementation. If you need the cloud to store files, google or Box are both better solutions.
- No, I don’t care if MS finally “fixes” it. They are out, permanently. I have better things to do in life. Watch paint dry. Monitor prices on Amazon…. Things of that nature.
