it is hardly *insane* even now, but it is simply a bit worse so don't bother unless there is something you want from the upgrade (e.g. wsl graphics)

idk, it probably won't be significantly better in a year. it's not significantly worse than windows 10, but none of the things that are different are particularly worth upgrading for so at best you're trading in a relatively predictable set of quirks and annoyances for a slightly new set, and some different icons

quote:

If you've been noticing strange issues with some of Windows 11's built-in apps and tools since the calendar rolled over to November, you're not alone. In a post on Microsoft's Known Issues page for Windows 11, the company says that an expired digital certificate is rendering some users "unable to open or use certain built-in Windows apps or parts of some built-in apps."

Affected apps include the Snipping Tool, the Accounts page of the Settings app (but only when running Windows in S mode), the Touch Keyboard, Voice Typing, the Emoji picker, the Input Method Editor, and the Tips app. There's no indication that Windows 10's versions of any of these apps have been affected.

I pasted a path I mangled into explorer’s address bar and it opened a tab to search for it in bing in my browser

I think it had double quotes around it and I removed one of them

thanks Microsoft

this is (or at least was) something you can turn off, hidden somewhere in the bowels of explorer's settings. or maybe search settings. or maybe it's a group policy

i finally fixed the windows not updating issue from months ago. just had to run this normal command dism /online /remove-capability /capabilityname:Analog.Holographic.Desktop~~~~0.0.1.0 to remove a microsoft-provided package. now im no computer expert but were i in charge, i would simply not provide updates that break the entire update capability of the os

When I update Linux I click on the update button and 5 minutes later everything is updated. MacOS and Windows both fail terribly at update times.

the last time i installed a windows the updates just wouldn't show up at all. i had to waste hours googling forums posts and downloading random poo poo named things like kb348957093219752305934.exe to finally get it working a day later. then i spent another several hours googling why trying to install their goddamn updates kept failing at 90%, with each attempt taking about an hour (the solution was to manually install another random file named kb9348532092349542087.exe)

i've touched windows 10 in limited capacity to help relatives in a pinch, and every time i wanted to throw it out of the window :rimshot: within 5 minutes. all of them took my advice and have macs now, so i don't get calls about stupid cj bullshit anymore

i have never, ever touched windows 11, and i never will unless under duress
