Windows 11 General Discussion

[windwhirl]

I have been running 11 for months on my work pc. Nothing truly different from 10. Context menu on 11 is worse than 10.

Not sure if taskbar is better or worse..

The thing about the taskbar that irks me is that now I can't have it show all the icons.

That little arrow at the left kinda pisses me off

About the context menu, if you mean the File Explorer's menu, a workaround would be to use the keyboard's key for it. It will bring up the old-style menu with zero nonsense.

This is absolutely incorrect. It's not 2012 anymore, move on.

To be fair though, Defender can be VERY annoying and not everyone likes or wants it.

Wendell is always really good to listen to, it's just sad this video is soo long it have to wait because at the moment I do not want to spend almost 43mins listning to him have to be in bed in less then 4 hours.

That is fair. All I want is to see someone say it annoys them, or they don't like it. To say it's crap is simply not true unless we are talking eye of the beholder then that's back to annoying.

I can say both. Context is important. Allow me to explain. With the beta's of 11, I've given defender another go, testing for changes to it's behaviour in each iteration, but nothing has changed in the last few years. It still interferes with common activities, blocking things that don't need to be blocked, flagging files incorrectly and flat-out deleting others without so much as a notification or a "whoopsie-daisy", let alone asking permission. In my opinion and definition, that is absolute crap and unacceptable. It's a level of irritation and nonsense I am NOT willing to tolerate. Fortunately, removing(read complete deletion) defender in 11 is a tad easier than in 10.

How easy?

Hi,
Think he already said a page or two back with some other goodies to disable or delete.

When Microsoft states this, it'll be solid. There was supposed to be one more, 22000.198.

Strange. Is that a virtual machine?

Realizing WIN 11 is not done until it’s done! But I often wonder what advertising; self promoting; revenue generation and additional privacy invading algorithms have been baked into it? Perhaps it’s the way it is, but still good to know if possible?

Check Diagnostic Data Viewer. You'll see what's being collected, though understanding it is a completely different matter altogether

@R-T-B he might know.

I just updated my main rig to Win 11 and so far it's solid. This was the first time installing it. Everything works except the old mstsc remote desktop. I had to grab the new Remote Desktop from the MS Store. It looks like they finally fixed the new one on the store. I've had no issues with the new remote desktop app. I did change the taskbar alignment to Left.. lol

So you have TPM 2.0 with your ryzen 5 2600/B450 combo?

Good question. I have another though, why have you not disabled automatic driver updates? No offense intended, it's just that automatic driver updates often cause problems and it's just not worth having it enabled.

Same 2600/B450 combo, apart from a X CPU, and mine meets all requirements.

Thanks for the link! Indeed it confirms that WIN 11 is not made for the end-user but all about MS revenue generation and more privacy invasion or collection of user-data. The reviewer did a fine job. It’s always good to see all the cards on the table. But yet I am still very uncomfortable to think where all of this will wind up and the downright controlling of people lives like us? Thanks again!
