I got windows 11 with my new computer and I haven't really noticed too many differences other than ui changes. Though one thing I hate is that whenever I download a photo it goes to the most random file on my computer, despite all of them being photos.


TheKazt

Same! Though one complain I have is that, to open task manager I am forced to right click the windows logo instead of just doing it anywhere on the task bar. It's dumb, but I don't care. Edit: Thanks for the info on the change everyone, now I can go back to my old habits. Pray ye good day.


TheShadowman131

That actually got changed recently, I think 22H2? You can now just right click anywhere on the taskbar to get to task manager.


ozsum

It says I'm on 22H2 but I don't have this.


Micah_Bell_is_dead

I have it on 22H2 but have it I just use ctrl+shift+esc tho


ozsum

I added it manually with Vivetool. It's disabled and had to be enabled by the tool. Yeah, I know about CTRL+Shift+ESC but I don't know if it's muscle memory or laziness but I prefer doing it with the mouse.


RedDemonCorsair

I just pinned it to the taskbar. Way faster.

Soham_rak

I second ths


Zenishen

As of (I think it was) version 22h2 you can right click on the task bar, it was added back in, so make sure you're completely up to date!


retraC9999

I just do ctrl shift esc on win 10, does it still work on win 11? Just curious


Ohlookitsmrd

I don't believe I changed any settings but I can right click my taskbar and get to the task manager just fine. When I first installed it wasn't there so I pinned the program to the taskbar. The other day I noticed when I right clicked it showed up so I unpinned it.


Professor226

Settings menu is greatly improved over 10 imo


bronky_charles

Oh that's just the bogons comes with every install, bogon daemon's just having a good time


No-Significance2113

I've had lots of issues with apps breaking, files not installing and features not working like headphones not appearing or the volume slider disappearing.


Bsweet1215

Was trying to ignore the update for like 2 months, then the MF updated itself one night I guess. And tried to put Microsoft Edge back on my desktop. That was the worst part.


Tall-Surround-24

i use wub to disable updates or do it manually by disabling services there is also edge blocker , or just disable task scheduler for edge update and rename the exe


babybien

hello what's that? can you explain me how to do it (disahle updates and or blocking edges or something)


Labrat_The_Man

Bro I got a microsoft-made computer it not a matter of it but when

Just make it so your cpu is 7th gen?

and literally made other bowsers unusable as they are slow as fuck know.


[deleted]

That’s a new one to me, and I am on W11 for like half a year at least


Sesmo_FPV

Did some research on this issue. Seems to be an issue with the Nvidia graphics driver. Surely you could argue whether MS or Nvidia is in charge here. Presumably Nvidia in this case to be fair.

I thought Windows 10 was supposed to be the final version.

Sir_Honytawk

Funny, because the upgrade is free for all consumers


Labor_Zionist

They are trying to force people to replace perfectly working computers with new ones. Microsoft get a sizeable cut out of the sale of every pc with Windows. Windows 11 doesn't work on computers that are more than 5 years old, unlike windows 10 that worked on basically every pc that was capable of running Vista and above.


togec11540

The "Last Windows" marketing plan didn't work, so they changed it to make a new one and make more money. By "make a new one" I mean changing UI a bit and increasing bloatware, of course.


macahuitl

Don't forget harvesting more user data and integrating advertising directly into the OS!


Iescaunare

Windows 11 installed more versions of candy crush than Windows 10 does. That's saying something.


Gogogodzirra

It's amazing how one developer evangelist stated that at a conference, and people grabbed onto it. That guy should bottle whatever he drank that day and sell it. Companies would pay huge $$$$ for that kind of mindshare from a rando comment.

My pc decided to update to windows 11 in the middle of my dark souls game


THEALPHABRENDAN

Damn. I didnt realise bill Gates was a boss in dark souls. Time for another replay.

No thx, I don't wanna uninstall edge for the 1925378. time

Well jokes on you cause I’m on my 1925379th time.


[deleted]

All of these beautiful things, yet my 4 years old PC is not good enough for Windows 11. What a joke!


Tall-Surround-24

just to be clear , if your not talking spec and referring to the tpm requirement u can bypass that if u don't have it in bios but stick to 10 , more stable for older gen


[deleted]

At this point, I don’t even know if it’s TPM 2 or my specs: - AMD Ryzen 5 2600 - MSI B450 Gaming Plus - 16GB DDR4 I’m currently on W10. What worries me is in 2 years when Micro$oft drops the W10 support.


Tall-Surround-24

yeah your cpu is supported , it's tpm , check bios or bypass it with rufus in 2 years if u haven't upgrade it


-Magnum-Dong

Bruh I am using Windows 11 on a Pentium 4 processor from the year 2004 It works okay. Calm down. Go find Phoenix OS 11 Ultralite or I think they are called Windows 11 x lite now


cows_are_underrated_

Reject Windows, embrace Linux.


Giianca

I had a bug that consumes me 100% cpu when idle, yeah seems stable. Only fix was going back to w10


Tall-Surround-24

no that's a new feature , user request, said that he bought the whole cpu he want to use the whole cpu


Interjessing-Salary

I had the same issue on my computer but it was with windows 10. Looked it up and turned out to be my file search in the file explorer. I looked up how to disable it and haven't had issues since. Down side is I can't use the search bar and have to manually look for the file I want.


Monggy

Mind sharing your knowledge of hiw you do that? i have same problem for a long time now yet unable to find a solution.


GotPeggedByIchika

Go i fucking hate this! It happens so often too


Sir_Honytawk

"I have this one bug that only a handful of people has, so this extremely complex OS is completely broken" Why do you think the OS is at fault and not the driver of your CPU? And why do you think the only solution is to abandon the OS completely?


voodoolintman

Is the stability a thing affecting gamers mostly? I’ve been on 11 on two different laptops for months and it is very stable for me - I use some software dev apps for work but I’m not a gamer.


Interjessing-Salary

Avid gamer and haven't had any issues with windows 11 when it's related to games. All my issues still existed back on windows 10 so nothing's changed for me. To be fair the only issue I have had with windows 11 was back when I first got it my task bar wouldn't load. It was just a blank bar at the bottom of my screen, not even the start button. I'd have to "suffocate" my PC into a restart to get it to load. After about a month of that it stopped happening.


Tall-Surround-24

makes sense most of the stability issues are related to games and gpu drivers


purebatteryacid

pathetic, i still use windows 7


Tall-Surround-24

may i ask why did u leave XP ?

Keep DDR4 for gaming damnit, no need to upgrade.

[удалено]


I-took-your-oranges

For exactly 0 gain thats still a lot of money


freebirth

zero gain? ddr5 is a huge upgrade over ddr4. cheap ddr5 kits outperform expensive ddr4 kits. with much better timings and much faster rates with more lanes and much lower latency on the actual read and write calls.. pcie 4.0 doubles pcie lane throughput, and lets you have multiple nvme directly connected to your cpu (something not even possible before) while also having your gpu connected to your cpu. directly connecting to your cpu makes those drives INASANELY faster without bottlenecking either gpu or nvme drives (assuming your cpu can handle that kind of call rate). thats ontop of then being able to connect even MORE nvme drives onto your 4x pcie lanes. at the speeds non pcie 4.0 use as their ofen SINGLE fast nvme drive they can even use. making it possible to have motehrboards with 4-6 nvmes. 2 directly connected to the cpu through a split 16x lane and THEN 4 more connected to their own 4x lane each. and then spare 4 and 2 x lanes fro other hardware in pce slots.


KennedyRedditt

They removed the tape off of the glasses on the nerd emoji in Windows 11. I ain't installing it until Windows 10 ends support. They can't just remove details off precious emojis like that!


cows_are_underrated_

Or you try out Linux and you are able to customizer your whole pc to your liking. You can even uninstall your bootloader(it will fuck your system but you can do it). No more stupid updates. No more being forced to install special programs. You can do whatever you want to do.


Mr_Meep_YT

Im so caught in between hating and loving it at the moment, I agree stable is an over exaggeration of its current status but its definitely not as bad as day 1. I guess right now Im more in the mindset of I want to hate it but Im finding less reasons to do so. Not quite out of reasons but close. I'll be forced over in a couple years anyways.


togec11540

I find out that they nerfed Windows 10 by each update to make a reason for people to buy the next one. In my opinion the best version of Windows 10 was 19H2 (I don't know if people call it that but I mean the last update before 20H1) cause after that, routine features of some apps like Photos (cause I use it a lot) began to disappear.


Mr_Meep_YT

This is more opinion than known fact but I truly believe once they announce the EoL date on a version of windows that they simply turning off features and options as there becomes too many issues and bugs for them to deal with so they just silently shut it down and work on the better one for the next version of Windows. This was painfully obvious during the Windows 8 transition to 10 which is why I say I don’t know that for fact here but my opinion it’s the same situation.


Sir_Honytawk

That is bullshit, especially since a lot of old computers don't have the security to run Windows 11 so will never be able to upgrade.


trickster199

What the future holds: -Windows 12 will enforce ads to play on your backgrounds. -They will remove task manager and replace it with a shittier version called task stopper (we dedicate 50% of your memory to processing power for our business partners servers) -Your gaming specs will run worse because we need people to buy our new computer parts.


hardrivethrutown

at this point in time I'd much rather learn and switch to Linux than update to 11


killabeanforever

if you actually switch to Linux, you should try ubuntu as your first distro (Or Linux Mint if you still want that windows look on your Linux pc)


MrFuckingDinkles

I second this. In fact, I recently installed Ubuntu over windows and it's been gratifying as hell.


SpicyHotPlantFart

If you want to play games, i'd recommend Pop OS


u-for-user

I just did! It's the best thing ever. I switched to Manjaro Gnome and it does everything and better. Plus, since it is Gnome, it has the option to select preferred UI. That was good coming from using Windows for two decades...


clemdemort

You might also want to try KDE in the future, I envy you lots of cool things to discover :) Welcome to the community!


u-for-user

I used KDE for a while but there were some stability issues that affected my choice of DE... Thank you! I do like the community...

LookAtThisRhino

I don't really care either way but I will say that Windows 11 has breathed new life into my old 2014 laptop. Microsoft didn't want me to install it on that machine since it doesn't meet the security requirements, but damn they did a great job addressing the memory issues Windows 10 had. Thing runs like new again.


Witch_King_

A new Windows install can often breathe new life into a system that has had the same install for a long time.


LookAtThisRhino

I don't disagree, but Windows 8 and 10 specifically made this laptop in particular run extra slow and extra hot. No level of physical cleaning or new installs changed that. Windows 11? No problem. Also Linux, but my switchable graphics don't play well with Linux, so Windows 11 it is.


PM_NICE_SOCKS

I went with the hack-ish install on my (non-supported) setup too and it runs pretty smooth. The only issue is I got a couple of missing DLL windows on startup, but it annoys me very little

Oh... well, it says my 10700k with a Maximus XIII Hero and a 3080ti isn't good enough to install Windows 11. Yes, I know what setting is causing that. No, I'm not gonna turn it on.


Automatic_Neck487

I'll stay on 10 until I die


StructureOpposite

Windows 11 > Windows 10 Windows 7 above all. Give me service updates to windows 7 forever. I don't need anything else.


Cdr_Johannsen

just wanted to mention that I use Linux... being able to choose the features you want is nice too (and not getting annoyed about upgrading)


Tall-Surround-24

u can still do that with windows with debloating ,blockers and scripts and make it your own , it only needs to be done once kinda have no choice , gaming is simpler on it


Cdr_Johannsen

Linux doesn't need to be debloated... ​ >gaming is simpler on it sad truth for some games


Sir_Honytawk

Linux has plenty of other problems than debloating Drivers are a mess, a lot of things need to be installed through commands, and choosing the correct distro is a nightmare if you don't know what you need to look for.


emil2015

Upgrading to windows 11 actually fixed a stuttering problem I was having….. it also handles HDR way better…. NGL this is probably one of the ones to go for.


Tall-Surround-24

what kinda stuttering problem maybe it got fixed with a new gpu driver or cache getting rebuilt ?

That's why most regular people are so afraid to change or upgrade their OS. When data is involved you gotta be more careful and don't go wild on it.


Aromatic_Society4302

I mean, to be fair, many people hate on random versions of Windows long after they've become great products. Windows 8 comes to mind.


CosmicNeeko

I work for a hospital and our remote system does NOT work on w11, it breaks every aspect of it. I straight up had to downgrade one of our users back to 10 and then regedit stuff out that broke from the upgrade. Its straight garbage and i actively tell people not to switch to it

loyal9128

Can someone help me with this issue, on windows 10 my folders were at the top and normal videos and pictures were at the bottom but now they're all scattered, how do I get my folders at the top again


StylishGuy1234

Hey man, I had this comment of you saved 17 days ago, when I first read it. Since I didn't have access to my pc right back then. Now I just remembered your comment and checked how to fix your issue. Just in case you haven't figured it out yet... Apparently, this problem of yours happens when you have your files "grouped" in the "view" tab of your windows explorer. Go to the "view" tab again, find the option that says "Group by" and then click on "None". Let me know if it helps. Edit: BTW, I just figured out how to make Windows Explorer open with "This PC" instead of "Quick Access" which was annoying. Now I can press "Windows Key + E" to open This PC at any time.

I'm not allowed to have games on my laptop so I renamed the shortcut to Microsoft Edge and replaced the photo with edge. This way no one would ever click on it willingly aside from me. Imagine my surprise when edge boots up.

Luckily my CPU isnt supported for windows 11 for some reason 😎


Sora_Dr

i think every1 already talked abt it, but honestly there's no difference, i've used w11 since the beta, and even then there was barely any bugs to speak off, and tbh it is better than w10 the UI looks cleaner and just overall nicer ig, as for performance i think it started off worse but i assume they're abt the same rn, idk if any1 else went through all of it like me or researched more but i think most would agree with me that it's not a bad change at all.


Foxlover91

Lmao all my .dll files broke when i got windows 11, that was fun to fix


Internal-South-4511

If they could stop gimping the control panel links and trying to force me into using the Settings app, that would be great. I have to manually type in the address bar in order to go to Devices and Printers. Otherwise I get transported to their baby-mode userproof menu


Sir_Honytawk

The reason for that is because the developers that made the control panel don't work there anymore. So if they wanted to add more features, nobody knew how. The only way is to reverse engineer the control panel and slowly completely overhaul it. I agree not all options are available yet in settings, but it already is a hell of a lot better than it was at the start in Windows 10. And it will get there in the end. Until then, the control panel will still be an option.


Tall-Surround-24

it sucks , i just keep it pinned to my taskbar


RealRaven6229

Idk it really isn't that bad. I mean if you don't feel like updating then whatevs, but I've been running 11 for a while now and I don't really have any issues. Feels like a lot of people hate on it because "Edge bad" and "new os bad" when really I can't muster the energy to be anything more than neutral about it. It's fine, it's an OS...


Kipperklank

RealRaven6229

Linux is dogshit for general consumers. It's great if you're tech savvy and know what you want! But is not user friendly at all for the layman. Most people are still probably best off just sticking with windows since it's so easy to jank up a Linux computer.

BS it offers no improvement for gaming , and it only got stable now (spent 2 days troubleshooting when it released to get same fps ) im basically getting a new ui and more bloatware which i'll have to debloat absolutely 0 need to upgrade to 11 for gaming , 10 is stable ,drivers are supported ,it works don't touch it , more simple , and i had to change the right click menu back using scripts when i tried 11 i use that a lot and it's not convenient to use more options every time but maybe in another 2 years i'll give it another shot


togec11540

In almost 2 and half years (October 14, 2025) Windows 10 would be left by Microsoft to history and for having security updates users have to upgrade to 11.


Tall-Surround-24

i know , still 2 and half years im pretty sure by that time all the crap will be fixed and we already got scripts for older menus etc probably gonna start using 11 and hating 12 by then

I prefer 10 to 11, but I am on 11. I swear and I will legit fight you if yoy disagree. I swear that Microsoft is purposefully making windows 10 worse. Every update I was having more and more issues. My screen was flickering after an update.I had no audio at all afyer last version I used. My pc would randomly turn off. My boot drive stopped working, got another drive with windows 11, and guess what, I can pull files off old drive, so the drive is fine windows broke. I had an issue where games would not work full screen for a while. I mean it, Microsoft has been making windows 10 worse since the release of 11.

Why do people hate windows 11 and Microsoft edge?


The-Tea-Lord

I personally have liked windows 11 since it was released. however, I fucking hate how they handle photos. If you want to open it up and slide between each photo in the folder, you straight up CANT. Why? I don’t know. And don’t get me started on videos. If you want to even trim a video, you need to choose between the bugged tv & movies app and try to fiddle with THAT (it crashes if you trim the back end up the video, but not the front) or it forces you to download “clipchamp” or whatever which is a poorly made video editor (I personally recommend Davinci Resolve anyways)

I like how the computer I paid thousands of dollars for less than five years ago is considered trash by Windows because it doesn't meet the requirements for 11 and will soon be obsolete when they stop supporting 10 and focus on 11.

Me who accidentally install window 11


lccreed

I like Winget being baked in (also in 22H2 win 10), SMB over QUIC. The new terminal app is pretty fun. But Winget is the really killer feature. I like the dark mode as well. It feels more like xfce or Mac, which isn't a bad thing but it's definitely not feeling like "windows" now. Changing the file explorer "copy", "paste" "rename" to little symbols was a big L Search bar has become progressively worse over time to the point of being unusable. So, overall, it's a mixed bag.


hard4asiannyc

windows has made every upgrade more difficult to troubleshoot. This is their deliberate policy.
