    Hi Tim
    I've been using Windows 11 for a year and a half. I honestly haven't noticed any differences.

    That really depends on what type of user you are, if you venture beyond the desktop and start menu, you might be in for a bad time. Stuff is gone or buried, that is why there are so many mods. I mean why can't you just right click and "send to desktop" anymore?
    The very first I can't live without on Win 11 is explorer patcher!! It at least makes it somewhat tolerable, then a start menu replacement. At work we went to 11 and it is not fun, but you still can get to some of the old menus via commands like shell or the old cpl file is still there, so far.
    That being said I have built a new PC and having to really consider installing Win 11, but at home I just play games and use a browser most of the time, so I think I can deal.
    There is a third party offering to cover Win 10 for a bit longer, but might have to bite the bullet and hope that 12 is better, right? The Windows releases are like Star Trek movies, every other one is good. ;)

    Well, I've got a PC which has been back to "Ye Olde Shoppe" repeatedly with W11. The nice young man who uses it games with Steam, Epyc, and he likes Fortnite. He'll download and install a game, and the OS drops into a repair loop. It's ridiculous. If it happens again, I'm downgrading the system to W10 until EOL.

    Disable or uninstall Copilot, Onedrive and whatever else you find unnecessary. Go into the settings and turn off all of the nagging notifications.

    Other than that it's been a solid OS in my opinion.

    I've made my assessment. Windows 11 is effing trash.

    I'm not sure why you feel the need to be so aggressive and act like I made a personal attack. You should know our opinions are based on personal perspectives.
