Windows 11 is awful.

Question

I have no clue why but I can't send any screenshots or photos so I'll try summarizing it.

Windows 11 is awful and will be going back to windows 10 with the new pc I'm putting together. Windows 11 runs absolutely unnecessary background processes and windows processes. My current gaming laptop specs should be able to handle what I do on my computer but instead a small game running will cause my laptop to get hot (already it gets a bit warm from just all the stuff running in the background THAT I DIDN'T INSTALL. Everything on there either was there or is new from the update.) Without running any personally installed applications, my window/background processes my task manager says I use NEARLY HALF of my CPU and around 30 Memory. I have tried ending tasks in the task manager but they continue to pop up and I attempted to uninstall the programs causing it but can't delete any of them because my SYSTEM can only make changes to those. I have looked here for an answer and have done just about everything Microsoft 'claims' to help. What's worse is I don't know what is SAFE to uninstall if I do figure it out. FOR THE PEOPLE WHO GET A NEW GAMING COMPUTER/LAPTOP DON'T GET WINDOWS 11 UNLESS YOU'RE A MASTER WIZARD AT UNINSTALLING OR HAVE A BUNCH OF CPU/MEMORY. I'm apparently not the only one having this particular problem where Windows runs way too many processes in the background, several friends of mine refuse to upgrade from windows 10 to windows 11 because of it.

I don't know if there's a way to go back because it's been a bit but I'd much prefer going back to windows 10.

Personally, I would prefer windows 8 (the biggest failure of them all) over windows 11. I'd rather have a hard time navigating around on my computer than hardly being able to use it for its intended purpose.

Answer 1

I agree. In my case, 11 was already installed. What bothers me the most is how unconfigurable it is. Their menus are bland, boring, mediocre, malignant, obtuse and confusing. The start menu is a circus joke. And telemetry is a festival. From my first day with it, it already started to cause problems in the first updates. No wonder there are many people who flee like the plague when they see this pile of compost called 11.

Answer 2

I agree windows 11 is horrible. I’m on my 3rd laptop in a month as the other 2 (which ran for over a year with win 10). 11 waste resources, killed notepad. Sound drivers malfunction on several PCs I have tested. I have yet to find anything I see as an improvement. Even worse there are ads all over, unwanted news ect. With 16gb of RAM I have to close teams just to open ms word. I can honestly say that this is by far the worst version of windows and rips off Linux and mac ideas in a “hacked up” way. It’s all about forcing people to use ms accounts for everything and pushing to the cloud. It’s so bad I’ve considered leaving a 25 year in IT as this is beyond appauling.

Answer 3

Not only is windows 11 ridiculously slow, poor performing and practically inoperable with Teams running or if you need to run more than two apps simultaneously but, microsoft have also rigged it so after 10 days you cant change back to windows 10.

Really poor and very frustrating.

DONT GET CAUGHT OUT..... DO NOT CHANGE TO WINDOWS 11.

Answer 4

I have 2 dev workstations at home running Win 10. Recently, at work, I got a laptop with Win 11. It is a complete disaster, and Microsoft must enter a state of emergency. First of all, they must fire the CEO, who completely shattered the company since he replaced Steve Ballmer, who was, in fact, a talented and awesome CEO. Next, they must fire the entire product team that created this disgrace.

I can’t stop thinking that Microsoft is a completely dead company. .NET and now Windows are dead only thanks to the new CEO; he destroyed everything that Ballmer and the rest built since the beginning. Over 90% of developers around me now use Mac garbage; this was not the case 10 years ago.

Answer 5

I agree 100%. Windows 11 is a **** product! I was able to mirror my computer to my TV with windows 10 and now unable to do the same thing with windows 11. It should be a simple thing to do this in house on a private network.. but Windows 11 is unable, unwilling to do the same thing with the same hardware and same TV.

**** Windows and Microsoft! You **** keep forcing me to "upgrade" when its a constant downgrade.. FIX YOUR **** ISSUES, BILL GATES! or be the **** we all know you are! Maybe, youre too worried about being on the Epstein list to fix the issues!?
