I think they just delusional, apps need to understand where you move start menu? What apps? All looks the same as it was in Windows10 for me, store apps open centered or in the position I left them.
I agree, the huge amount of work maybe in MS end. I have been using taskbar no the right side for 15 years and truth be told i only see inconsistencies on the interface of the Windows itself, thinks like bad positioning of the start menu, problemas with miniatures in some instances and things like that... but with 3rd party apps i never, ever had a problem. So blame that on the apps is just a bad excuse. Best Regards, Will.

Well, the UI of Windows 11 sucks balls. I'm gonna roll back to the backup of Windows 10 from just before installing this monstrosity.

No one is talking about the real topic, the fact that microsoft harasses and nags users into "upgrading". Imagine being in a company with a large amount of laptops and having people accidentally install windows 11 all over. All users who ended up installing it did so without even knowing, Microsoft is using deception and trickery to get users to install it while they are trying to just get rid of the disruption.
That is why any company with large amount of laptops or PC's MUST use group policy to block those types of updates, by doing this good practice it doesn't matter if MS try to nag people. As for home users i agree that it might be a problem for less tech savy users who barely knows how to operate windows 10 let alone learn the new interface adjustments on W11. They simply are doing this almost 2 years before 10's EOL because they don't want to face a tremendous backlash when Windows 10 enters EOS/EOL. Thanks to bring me back to the topic, sometimes o got carried away by my own thoughts. Best Regards, Will.

Call me crazy, but for me the best interface was Vista/7 Aero. Those were the days. Best Regards, Will.

I hope I don't get the notifications because my poor Sandy is a bit too old for win 11.

Yeah but this is not something new, Microsoft is just making it more frequent and even more annoying. The problem with random users getting upgraded is that it isn't always a smooth upgrade, specially on a machine that hasn't had a reinstall for 2 years. It is better to start with a clean installation in those situations and have a chance to backup anything important in case it isn't in the cloud.

I don't personally have experience with apple outside of the iphone so i can't say anything about that. This is not just an update, i welcome critical updates being done on their own, this is a major OS installation being done by trickery. As for google, no one seriously uses a chromebook for anything important, google software and services is even worse than microsoft in general.

What's the problem? Anyone who knows better knows how to avoid 11 if they don't want it, or they're already on it. Anyone who doesn't know better benefits from Microsoft forcing an OS update for better security policies all-around, and just as a nice update. Going from iOS 15 to 16 is cool for anyone, regardless of anything technical about it. People bashed Windows for lackluster security for years, and now people have an issue with Microsoft enforcing it and even improving standards everywhere. TPM would still be busted on Ryzen if it wasn't for 11 😛
Updating ios on iphones is actually a nice and smooth experience but that's mostly because it is a locked device (unless jailbroken). Windows isn't a locked down device and that is the problem with updates done in this way, it is susceptible to a lot of bugs and broken drivers.

I switched back to Windows 10, I only updated to 11 for auto HDR which was completely broken at the time. And I actually use the Win 10 start menu which 11 removed. Microsoft are so stubborn with the dumb shit they try to push. You'd think they would have learned from Winblows 8 and not try to force people into a new style/aesthetic and just give the option.

You're right about using a group policy to avoid it but it would have to be edited on a per-machine basis unless you use a paid service like azure. That's unless all the machines are on company controlled network, maybe there's an option i'm not familiar with.

No pop-ups on my system yet , probably because it only affects users with windows 10 22H2. And my system has a intel i7-7700HQ so that could also be why I'm out of spec for Windows 11 , hmm maybe that's a good thing lol.

I haven't had the popup yet either and I am on 22H2 with a system that is compatible with 11. After a bios update couple weeks ago I released it had enabled the tpm for the cpu by default, prior bios' were disabled by default... I then disabled it again... I wonder if that's what it's looking for and then for anyone that has it and is enabled they are doing the popup.

The Windows 11 start menu is completely unusable, it makes the one from Windows 10 shine. The amount of UI features that have been stripped out in Windows 11 is quite insane, the OS therefor feels alien to me, even StartAllBack couldn't save it.

I've been using w11 in my office, not really a fan of it. I'm mot going to "upgrade" my own pc until absolutely necessary. W10 22h2 works fine for me. Strange enough, I haven't seen any notification to upgrade from microsoft on my pc, im using i7 9700. Intel 9xxx are still eligible, right?

I will have to say....this Raptor Lake core i9-13000K, RTX 3080 Ti, 64 GB of DDR5 Ram, and 4 2TB Gen 4 NVMe's with Windows 11 just to make DirectStorage work is worth every kind of penny over Windows 10. There are some older NVIDIA GPU capabilities that worked best only on or with the CPU; Resize Bar just tripled those capabilities. Now to be serious for a moment...the cost of this upgrade equals the cost of building a SpaceX rocket. Prices ran by scalpers just stiff armed most of us who want a new GPU at MSRP.

I7 5960X here, no TPM (or rather the optional TPM module for my board has long been EOL), no GPT partition, no secure boot. Still fits all my needs and runs all games I want to run. So no Windows 11 for as long as Windows 10 has support. That's another two years, by then I might consider getting new hardware.
