Windows 11 is out!
- Thread starter Worgen
- Start date
I've been using 11 on my laptop for a while now, and it's fine, I guess, now that I've put everything the way I like it. Still don't know why they decided to simplify the right click context menu and hide all the actually useful functions behind a button combo tho. No matter, quick registry edit and that shit was fixed.
Same here, actually, the laptop came with 11 and the old buddy desktop running 10. And I also prefer 10 honestly. I mean, you can work around these things and set it up the way it works for you, but still.
I still can't understand why Windows 11 is better than 10 in terms of performance in games and editing, for example. There is no increase in productivity in Windows 11. On the contrary, some software works unstable on Windows 11.
Tested: Windows 11 Pro's On-By-Default Encryption Slows SSDs Up to 45%
BitLocker software encryption slows performance. Here's how to fix it.

They sure seem to be remaining consistent with their “every other one sucks” track record. At least there’s an easy workaround.
Ugh, they removed the ability to drag and drop files via the address bar. Was pretty convenient to move files out of subfolders.
Whenever One Drives not on screen, Windows should be asking, "where's One Drive?"

Just saw this pop up on my work laptop. Felt like punching through the screen.
Microsoft gives in and lets you close OneDrive on Windows without explaining yourself
This is Microsoft’s latest annoying addition to Windows.

Choose your reason wisely. The Microsoft sniper is already waiting for the order to fire.Whenever One Drives not on screen, Windows should be asking, "where's One Drive?"

Ah, things like this just keep coming from Microsoft. This morning i was reading the tech-news (Have to keep up to date for the job). For example this here:

TLDR: The "new and improved Outlook" gathers your login and password for any connections (Not-MS-account/Exchange/Online relevant) and just straight up sends it to Microsoft.
Weird shit... They would gather logins for private emailservers that way.
I am really getting grumblier and more irate with MS every month (I am technically a Windows-Admin) but i feel i couldn't ever switch up to the new versions, after the old generation runs out of support. (Mostly Windows 10 with Windows Server 2016 at my job). We already had enough weird shit with Win10, but i miss the days we could just... you know install software and have it run.
It's not just MS of course. Lot of creepy, greedy, unneccesary complicated shit. (Looking at you, Sophos Central)
Security Concerns Surrounding Data Transfer in the New Outlook Application
The recent iteration of the Outlook application has been reported to send various data types to Microsoft servers. This includes, but is not limited to, user email content and potentially sensitive access credentials.

It really amazes me what kind of stuff Microsoft has been doing to their OS lately. I don't blame people switching to Linux in droves like they have, cause good lord
Is Phone Link on Win 10? Cuz 11 has it. Very convenient. But, it doesn't filter out hacking texts from the Philippines. I couldn't even delete them. Only a matter of time until I would have accidentally clicked on something bad so I had to disable it.

You pretty much have to realize that there is just no ability to be totally private and no matter what you do, your data is being collected by someone. You can take steps to make it more annoying and less accurate, but unless you disconnect and only use cash, you're being tracked by someone.
