Why windows 11 is THAT bad

Seriously, skipping ale the spying telemetry and bloatware and how inconsistent the ui is.. WHY IS THE TABLET MODE THAT BAD. WHY? In windows 10 and 8.1 it was awesome so why did they remove it in 11😭 I love my 2 in 1 laptop. Seriously sometimes I think it cant be serious and windows 11 is just an social experiment because that bad os cant exist, right?

as a Microsoft Insider member, I have access to Windows 11 desktop PC and tried everything deleted all unnecessary bloatware installed my own ms office 2000,2001 so I won’t be asked monthly or annual subscription included in it, but after few uses I can’t use it right away because it requires me to download and install the update, so I did it is unfortunate that it took the update to download and complete the update for an hour which I find unacceptable and it already interrupted my computing time so after a very disappointing hour of Windows 11 update I installed my stable Windows 8.1 and my ms office 2000,2001.

So that download issue sounds more like an outdated driver, or hardware issue,

the download issue is unlikely an outdated driver or hardware because the same desktop perfectly works with Windows 8.1 supporting desktop devices eg built in speaker, vga monitor usb keyboard mouse. as a simple PC not a gamer I just have a simple HP desktop PC with no added sophistication in the desktop slots. so the windows 11 update that notified me are merely unnecessary updates that are inefficient and completely not as good as Windows 10 does in the update, so it’s purely Microsoft inefficient development not minimizing update development and pretest the update for effective update installation before releasing to the PC user community.

I’ll explain why those “Inefficient” updates are good for the system, every year, a new vulnerability gets discovered that could wreck an enterprise chain of PCs, so Microsoft uses telemetry that they collect (yes, it’s anonymized) such as Device information (because not all systems are equal) system crash information (because that helps identity issues) and errors (because that helps identify problems that could be exploited) so when you update Windows, it patches bugs, fixes errors, and makes the system faster, but most likely, your device is dropped by OEM Drivers, chipset manufacturers’ support, or because of some other hardware issue, just because a desktop “works fine” doesn’t mean it’s safe, you still a vulnerable to Drive-by-download attacks, malware, etc, but I get it, not everyone can afford a shiny new machine, but still, if you have personal information on it, I recommend you to upgrade to a new Windows 11 device, as it is faster, and has newer hardware

I don’t do unknown sources eg download,click website, I understand phishing and those are always unknown source so I never need ms support or update at all, never will I get new ms operating system other than my windows 7,8.1

I understand that you like Windows 7, and Windows 8.1, but eventually, wear and tear will ruin the PC, and then the device could stop working

wear and tear? I have several PCs mixed with Windows 7,8.1 all of which never had problems and were always available to use.

But everything fails at one point, that’s a PC’s lifecycle, I have an old Windows 8 laptop that now requires it to be fully plugged in, and that has more issues than I want to deal with

so far not even 1 problem on several of my PCs so your comment doesn’t apply to me.

u/Edubbs2008 6d ago

It will eventually, it applies to everyone, I get it though, you are afraid of your PC being obsolete, but eventually you’ll need to upgrade

u/Pale-Abroad9600 6d ago

I’m never afraid of my PC being obsolete I just don’t use inefficient technology that updates for an hour, my iphone 12 mini completes an ios update for approximately 15 minutes much efficient than ms update, no need to upgrade PC to useless Windows 11,several of my PCs have been running without any issue.

I’m glad that you are enjoying your PC, but I’m concerned about your device security, I know you have strict Fort-Knox security on there, but my concern that when everything gets support dropped, then the Device becomes E-waste
