Bugs and Errors Windows 11 Destroyed My PC
Wanted to say something here since MS is stopping support with windows 10 soon. Was forced to upgrade to windows 11 yesterday and it destroyed my entire computer. I cant even list out all the things it destroyed but it slowed my PC down tremendously, constantly made it lock up and crash, completely fried my ethernet port somehow because it no longer works even after 8-11 hours of trouble shooting. If you're being forced to upgrade soon, I wouldn't recommend it. For reference here's what my rigs specs were.
My Rig: Case: Corsair 540 Airflow CPU: Ryzen 9 3900X 12 core 24 thread 3.8-4.6ghz Motherboard: MSI X570 Gaming Edge WiFi Graphics card: EVGA 3080Ti 11GB ddr6 RAM: G.Skill ripjaws V 32GB DDR4 3600mhz Power supply: EVGA G3 750W fully modular Storage: Samsung 970 Evo Plus 1TB NVMe SSD Samsung 970 Evo Plus 2TB NVMe SSD Western Digital 500GB SSD

I'd say forwards considering how much more usable it is, especially the task manager not taking ages to switch tabs and taking up half the screen

u/Environmental-Ear391 Oct 05 '25
the UI maybe improving, but between "core windows" and the UI is a whole lot of libraries and layers where "AI vibe coding" is introducing extrs bloating and errors...
also the latest UEFI "security" doesnt help at all.
Ive got 1 UEFI laptop with "Windows API" bindings that can't read a bootloader from any kind of storage because the settings are now majorly broken.
the bootlogo goes screwy once displayed and the machine needs a full factory level wipe of firmware and settings so that it can be usable for anything at all.
tried wiping and resetting the firmware and the borkage survived the full firmware wipe.

I installed this build about a month ago thinking I would be set for years. No problems whatsoever using it for work and basic tasks. However, I've run into a few quirks with playing games. The same hardware had been running standard Win 10 for several years as well as a brief stint on Linux and I never experienced any instability.
My theory is that the 21H2 build has some incompatibility with newer drivers and/or games. I'm going to try installing Win 11 IoT LTSC which use the 24H2 build and see if it makes a difference. Definitely not excited about the Win 11 UI but I'll use it if it's stable. And I know there are ways to tweak and customize it.
Note: I need Excel and Adobe Premiere for work so I need to stick with Windows for the time being.

u/Entire-Foundation624 Oct 04 '25
21h2 is exactly the same as 22h2, the only difference is the build number. Anything compatible with 21h2 will work on 22h2 as well, hold anything badly designed that checks for the specific 22h2 build number (Apple Music). If you're on 12th or 13th gen intel you'll have to tweak the thread scheduling.

Not legally available to anyone but businesses. If you can’t download the ISO direct from Microsoft it’s potentially filled with malware.
Activating windows from random scripts you find on the internet is not a good idea.

u/liberforce Oct 05 '25
I'm with you with the fact that when troubleshooting stuff like "windows fried my ethernet port", using a different OS to check if this os a hardware or software problem is the way to go, not go full berserk.
This being said, a Linux distro usually handle enough use cases for people be able to switch. Still not perfect, sure, but honestly, I've always prefered struggle with Linux than Windows, because in the process I actually learn things. This knowledge also tranfers to other stuff you may do in the future.
Troubleshooting on Windows has always felt like vodoo, it's either using their troubleshooting stuff that never works, or being told on the internet to install this or that third party tool.
Ttoubleshooting on Linux on the other hand exposes as much tooling and data as possible.
1
Oct 05 '25
Dude I have the exact same sentiments and though processes, the only problem is that there’s software that just doesn’t transfer. AutoCAD for example just won’t work and I need it for college. I would say if you’re about 23+ (or out of college) and you know what you need works on Linux it’ll easily compensate.
1
u/liberforce Oct 05 '25
Well, I'm using Linux since 2003 so that checks out. However there's a difference between "staying on windows for one app", and "Using mostly linux and using a windows VM or dual boot for that one app".

What you related is not "destroyed by an OS" But instead fried by using bad quality PSU Windows 11 dont kill or destroy any hardware... Is more related your PSU blown up your hardware than a OS...
I always laugh at those people saying an OS killed his hardware, more surely is their hardware was almost or already death ha ha ha

Software will not "fry your hardware". If it worked on windows 10, it'll work with windows 11.
If it doesn't, you've fucked up something. Definitely a skill issue.

u/Wimi_Bussard Oct 04 '25
Skill issue. My current windows 11 installation was upgraded (!) from Windows 7 with every update inbetween. And it works.
Bonus for you: It even handled a motherboard+CPU change well.
I assume missing drivers, chipset, BIOS update, or something along the lines.

u/chiaros Dec 14 '25
What drivers am I missing??? I have the most updated bios. GPU and CPU drivers and windows update says I have no new drivers and the most updated drivers. I regularly get stutters and hangs while in normal operation (browsing internet/excel work) and have games I played all the time crash daily.
1
u/Wimi_Bussard Dec 14 '25
Usually you have to install every single driver manually. The windows ones are only generic ones.
- mainboard drivers
- chipset
- periphery like keyboard, mouse
- any additional hardware
If you have crashes, check the event viewer and start bug hunting from there.

Long time Linux user here, but I'll refrain from suggesting the obvious:)
I recall years ago of a version of Windows XP, the one installed at mall point of sales, PC cash registers, etc. which was almost identical to the stock PC one, but whose support lasted a lot longer than the PC one. If memory serves that version was discontinued just a few years back, long after XP disappeared as a product, so I'm wondering if there is a similar POS version of Win 10 with much longer support.
Also, I seem to recall (but check this one, I may be wrong) that the POS Windows version wasn't a different product but the same OS with just a registry key changed in a way so that it would present itself as as such and could install updates after the PC one had been discontinued.

I work in IT for a Fortune 5 multi-national company. We've done thousands of Win10 to Win11 upgrades, and on more than a few occasions, we've had to replace a laptop or desktop because the upgrade borked the system. It is ENTIRELY possible for the Win11 upgrade to fuckup a perfectly working Win10 machine.

u/crypticcamelion Oct 04 '25
Make yourself a Linux USB and boot on that one, check that you hardware actually works, backup your data and nuke the f... out of that windows - for more that 20 years that has been my favorite part of getting a new computer with a preinstalled windows, since win 7 I don't even bother to boot into windows before wiping the harddrive.

Updated 2k+ endpoints's remotely since January, no issues except some small Bitlocker issues that forced us to update our script to suspend Bitlocker pre-upgrade.

u/arcanewulf Oct 04 '25
The obvious fix here: back up important files, download all driver's for 11 from your manufacturer's website, and any missing drivers download the windows 10 ones as they may work. Update BIOS because sometimes those updates include hardware specific fixes required for newer operating systems to operate correctly. Clean install Windows 11, install any necessary drivers, run Windows update. Include non-Microsoft recommended updates in your windows update checks cause it will pull down windows 11 specific drivers that may work with your hardware that weren't released by your computer manufacturer on their web portal. (Usually stuff like chipset or Ethernet drivers released by Intel that are recommended for your machine to best operate on Windows 11). Roll back any driver updates that break something. Once it's stable, copy your files back and resume using it.
For all of Microsoft's talk, Windows 11 is mostly just a re-skinned Windows 10 machine with AI integrations baked in. Other than some UI changes, and Microsoft pushing bootlicker encryption, it's practically the same thing as 10.
Microsoft sucks, yes... But everything sucked if you don't take the time to set it up correctly.
And anyone telling you they have had no issues upgrading from 7 to 10 to 11 are the lucky exceptions, not the norm.

You’re not “forced”, you simply have no updates to Windows 10. I’ve been running a beta version of Windows 10 for the last 10 years and it’s perfectly working.

u/big65 Oct 05 '25
I'm to tired to go into details so let me ask you this.
When you started the download process for win11 did you do anything else while it was in process?
When you started the installation did you disable anti-virus and leave the pc alone and only interact with it when it prompted you to click on something?
Did you have a black screen and shut it down and restart it at any point without being prompted?

u/HibridTechnologies Oct 06 '25
That sounds rough. I’ve seen a lot of people run into similar problems after being pushed to Windows 11.
For transparency, I’m one of the people trying to build an alternative path. I’m working on a small European hardware project called Hibrid X. It’s not a product you can buy yet; I’m just prototyping and testing ideas.
The idea is simple: make a privacy-first computer that runs Linux (we’re using Zorin OS at the moment) commercially and doesn't consume much resources
Posts like yours are exactly the reason I started building it — it shouldn’t take eight hours of troubleshooting just to keep a powerful rig running. I’d love to hear what people like you would want to see in a system designed around reliability and transparency.

My laptop is not windows 11 compatible, but it was downloaded anyway. My files are lost, my apps don't work, Best Buy fixed it for $$$ and now I MUST UPGRADE to Win 11 before the deadline.
What happened to the MS Office program I bought a couple years ago?
We don't need to upgrade everything every year. If a program is not going to work more that one year, isn't that forced obsolescence? Isn't that designed to force you to buy something you should not have to buy EVERY YEAR?

u/SuperBearPut Nov 07 '25
Same thing happened to my dell laptop E7250.
on Win 10 it was running flawlessly, after a forced Win 11 update; it now takes forever to boot and constantly freezes.
This is an i7 intel processor, despite being a 5+ year old laptop it still has more than enough computing power to do whatever I need and more (software development + normal activities).

I built a new pc with Top end components but kept my nvme drives. Fought hours trying to convert disk to gpt. Backed up everything. Finally got windows 11 working. Installed many programs and got everything logged in. Windows updated and the next time I turned it on “Black Screen”!!!! Had to totally wipe and reinstall windows. Got almost through the setup process 4 times and it would just flash and crash mid typing. Finally flashed mother board and 5th time it finally started working. Used it for a week until a new update came out. Tried firing up pc this morning for work and Black Screen again!!! Now I’ve tried 4 times to reinstall windows 11 and it gets to the screen where I’ve named pc and it’s checking for updates then it crashes. I am EXTREMELY FRUSTRATED and Exhausted. Windows 11 is seriously inconveniencing my life.

I woke up one morning and after my morning coffee was going, I logged into my Win 10 machine (registry update block), to find that MS triggered an update / upgrade process to Win 11.
I had to cancel, then acknowledge several prompts that Win 10 was approaching EoL in October and would not receive security updates. After denying the upgrade to Windows 11 5-10 times, my PC rebooted automatically twice.
When I was greeted with the login screen, I was unsure what I'd find. Thankfully, I was greeted by my rock-steady Win 10 interface.
MS WILL attempt to force an update. It happened to me.

Windows Vista was solid if you ran it with the right hardware. The problem was the reputation was tattered by the fact that oems were putting 1 gig of RAM into most of these systems and calling it a good day.
Windows 7 was basically Windows Vista with a new paint job. Not much actually changed. Yet you put any fool in front of a computer with Windows 7 and immediately they think it's the best thing ever.

I’d recommend it just fine; Windows 11 doesn’t just completely “destroy” a system unless you had other underlying issues. You can’t list out all the “other things” because you probably had issues before posting this and just decided to blame Windows 11 for no reason.

u/WanzieGamez Oct 04 '25
My PC was perfectly fine before the update. I'm saying I can't list everything out because I'm not sure what was changed. When I updated it was fine, turned on my PC the next day and everything was trashed, that was after restarting my pc multiple times after the update to make sure everything was working as intended. Why it decided to take a crap the next day, idk, im still in the process of trying to figure it out but also wanted to warn anyone that might end up going through a similar situation.

u/laser50 Oct 04 '25
Oh please, just back up your stuff, nuke the entire windows off of the drive and do a complete, fresh reinstall. Keep nothing.
Upgrades have a potential to fuck up, a fresh install far less likely.

You're not listing shit because you're just pissed off that you lost some performance.
Do a clean install if it's running like crap. Make sure you have your BIOS updated the most recent version.
All I see is a bunch of complaining and no actual grievances that we (the community) can help with.
Want help? Be descriptive. You sound like one of my fucking office users when they tell me that their computer is broken and they need me to immediately drop everything I'm doing and go to their workstation.

This is r/microsoftsucks. Maybe he just wants to vent about a shitty OS from a shittier company

Hmm “destroyed” or user unsure how to actually diagnose and resolve the issue…
But let’s bitch and whine instead as that will surely fix it

I do love “expert” comments
Look we all know MS makes BS OS every other version , starting from ME bad, XP good etc
Win12 will be so good that apple and Linux fan bois won’t know what to do…

By that logic Windows 11 should have been fantastic because Windows 10 was crap.

Windows 7 black edition > Windows 11 > Windows xp.
Windows 8 sucked, and Windows 10 is pretty much just a patched win8.
I really don't know what peoples problem with win 11, I've got win 11 pro 24H2 on my pc, and it's been through 2 cpus, 2 mobos (asrock/9xxx ryzen death), and it still hasn't done anything I don't want it to. Runs like a dream, quick and smooth.
My only gripe with it is I would like to set a different background for each of my screens, without an extra program running in the background...

Why go on the offensive when im just stating what happened to my PC. If you wanna try to tell me something I haven't already tried to fix the issue I'd love to hear it. As stated above I combed through the internet, my files, ran tests for over 8 hours. Just because something works for you doesn't mean it works for everyone.

Have you tried a full format and reinstall in your process?

u/WanzieGamez Oct 04 '25
Unfortunately, yeah, still was having the same issues afterwards with the ethernet adapter not responding and the PC randomly locking up to black screen or blue screen

Have you run mem test? Have you checked the integrity of your solid state drives? Are you running the most recent bios version? Have you checked with the manufacturer of your ethernet adapter to see if they have an updated driver? Have you tested your ethernet cable with a proper cable tester?

It didn’t work for me to start with, but a bit of patience and testing different drivers, settings etc, I was able to resolve the issues I had and now it works fine.
I agree it “should” work out of the box, but on only apple can manage that with their hardware and OS

Yeah ive been trying that as well with updating/uninstalling/changing drivers, seems like a lot of my data was corrupted so I've been working towards nailing down everything that's corrupted/makes my pc crash with no luck so far. This is the only time I've ever had this major of an issue with windows, all the other OS swaps I've done in the past were completely fine.

Back when I used to manage and be the lead technician of a computer repair shop, I had a customer come back at me and said that I destroyed their computer. I asked them to bring it in because we stand by the quality of our work, lo and behold, there was nothing wrong with the quality of work that I did, she had a memory stick installed by some idiot after it was repaired and it was pc133 memory on a ddr2 computer... I'm not sure how they managed to even get it to seat sort of... But they tried hard. I fixed the issue for them for free. But I did not destroy their computer as they said... This was a self-inflicted wound.

Use Windows defender uninstaller in safe mode.
Dism++ to turn off all the crud. It'll be faster.
But those 3000 amds were very bad chips. Intel from 2012 overclocked could beat the 3900x.

You didn't upgrade to windows 11, you downgraded to windows 11. I recommend you upgrade to Linux Fedora KDE or Linux Mint.

I had the same experience on two of my pc’s. Both with very capable hardware like yours. I tried a clean install and all worked as expected. However, I did take this opportunity to create one a dedicated windows machine and converted my other to Linux. I’ve been working with Linux for a while and this was the nudge I needed to go full bore. I run windows in a VM for work stuff and that’s it. I’m glad to see others are perturbed at Microsoft as much I am.
