Windows 11 24H2 is WORSE THAN Windows 8 | RANT:30

Whokeys 510 Anniversary sale 25% code:TS25

-----------------------------

Windows 11 has a massive update coming soon: 24H2. First, there are some new things that some people will like... AI stuff like voice clarity, notepad with AI, AI on the desktop... god help us.
Otherwise, it's a massive screw you to power users. MS is locking down the interface more than ever. Fighting to disable apps that change things (hopefully updates will fix the issues), but it looks as if they want you to use the computer their way rather than your way. Just watch the video. I don't feel like typing anything else... here's some of this nonsense: #windows11 #windows10 #windows8 #startisback #open-shell #explorerpatcher

Microsoft has to understand that once we power users start going to linux, and get confortable there, we are not coming back.

For me deal breaker was when 'My Computer' became 'This PC', implying that the PC is no longer mine...

[arniespace]

How about that stupid right click menu, where the most used cmd's are under "more options" Pisses me off 10 times a day.

[jsnotlout]

Thats what annoys me, Not the ads, The control over MY PC. I do not need someone telling me what I can install on it.

[frskngd]

its safe to say that if it wasnt for security reasons, most people would still be using windows xp and 7

[KCKingcollin]

As a Linux user I actually agree with a lot of your points here, and I don't pretend Linux is the silver bullet that we want it to be yet, I just got really tired of all the ads, broken code, and straight up data theft

Had an ex microsoft emplyee help build a PC last year and he was adamarnt about keeping windows 10.
He literally called 11 'windows 8' all over again.

The drag & drop into the path bar was also something I used all the time! I'm so glad someone mentioned it, it was so weird when I tried to do it now on Windows 11 and it didn't work, then I looked it up and learned they removed it just because they felt like it (I think their actual reasoning was literally: "not that many people use it, let's just remove it"). The disrespect toward their own users is unreal.

[Finite-Tuning]

Ahh Microsoft, they've reinvented the wheel so many times now it's a square!
Cheers 🍻

Hostility toward customer needs has been accelerating in all areas of commerce in the last several years. It will cost them dearly.

[GonthorianDX]

The last thing I want on my OS is it telling me I can't do something I want to do

[johanrynjah]

The number of hidden telemetries within windows 11 is scary . . .

[Jafar-drto]

The Microsoft ceo told the programmers to prioritize security. Then they bricked vpn’s 😂

[Devastator]

The one that gets me is that Microsoft, with the Windows 11 24H2 update, will be automatically applying Bitlocker encryption for all volumes on your device. Happens during the Windows install process but supposedly when you update an existing 23H2 system to 24H2. I DO NOT want my devices to have Bitlocker encryption on them, I have no need for that to occur and really, really hate that MS is making that an automatic/mandatory thing.

You've listed most of the reasons why most of my machines are still running W10, even got one on W7.

Desktop OSes are trying to figure out where they fit in and who their target market it as the landscape has changed. People who are not creating content, which is the majority, are rapidly moving to mostly using their phone or tablet when not at work. I've seen this with those in my own family who are not power users or PC gamers, they spend way more time on small screens devices than desktops. This is huge shift over the last ten years. Windows should be focusing more on the power users, business users, and PC gamers. Windows home as it stands is becoming irrelevant.

[chrisl]

Your "bad manager" analogy is excellent. I have been using Ubuntu for my writing laptop for years because when I am trying to work on Windows (even Windows 10, but even more so on 11) it felt like trying to concentrate in a daycare center.

[atomicskull]

I knew it had gone off the rails when I went from Windows 7 to Windows 10 and when I inserted a USB drive it told me to "tap" to select it, on a desktop PC.

[Prophet]

MS is so weird about the OS where they keep removing any user control people have. Then just doing things to make the general experience worse. I'm glad I switched to Linux.

[piggfeathers]

spent two hours arguing with microsoft that changing my motherboard shouldn't mean i need a new key 90% of my pc is the same parts
