Windows 11 failures and Microsoft taking responsibilty for horrible decisions
So I upgraded to Windows 11 from Windows 10. Immediately after the upgrade my efficient productivity came to a screeching halt. Mainly working within the Tabs. Instead of the user being able to select one of the open Tab you've been using in your work, assuming you've been using 10 open Tabs pages. Now you have no open Tab pages instantly available to re-select. Now the user has to go search out a needle in a haystack, then first read over ten different open tab pages that are open, and then select that page from the needle in the haystack view opening through the one web browser Tab that is the entrance into the needle in the haystack search. Often it's not that easy to even select the tab you've been working on in Windows 11, sometimes if jumps to something else making the user have to do another search through this one Tab. What I've discovered about about Windows 11 is that Win11 has become a problem within itself, it limits your productivity and efficiency in very critical moments. It makes using the computer a drag being very tedious, tiresome, a burden to do basic productivity work due to the FORCED combining of the Taskbar Tabs. I know this subject has been talked about many times before. But my main question is how did this ever get out of Microsoft? Didn't Microsoft have someone in charge who worked with many open Tabs, try to say this is a very tedious process to dealing with open Tabs and why are we taking away efficiency for no reason at all? Why are we take away the option to un-combine the taskbar Tabs when it makes dealing with Tabs more tedious and problematic? What does Microsoft gain but taking away one of the most used and efficient features for general productivity? I mean who designed or decided this option to force people to instead use a needle in a haystack Tab selection process to view their previous Tabs versus the old way of just selecting it from the bottom of the taskbar? Where are the visionaries at Microsoft who improve upon great ideas instead of tearing them down? What's up with this new tedious way of dealing with folders and Tabs in Windows 11? Also the Folder options have been revamped to tedious process causing the users to have to search for functions now, for two main reasons, one being basic stuff like DELETE and COPY now have symbols???? Man I can't tell what these stupid symbols are when I need to COPY, PASTE, DELETE, RENAME??? I mean, like dang, somebody responsible for taking off names and replacing them with similar symbols needs to be fired! Why Why why? Using all those features used to be as easy as right clicking the mouse button, and boom, you're done for quick processing. Now the user has to right click, then try to determine if the non name symbol is the one they want, then if not they now have to go into "more options" to search by name to do what you want to do. It takes you back to the old Windows 10 options look with additional features. With this Win11 you can no longer one click Win RAR files to unzip into the same folder. Now even that is a a two step process, it's a mess. If it aint broke, DON"T fix it. Microsoft should bring back the WIN10 process of delete, rename, Copy, and Paste function to where one right click on the mouse brings up the whole page of options with name to their functions. And not give us nameless symbols which all look the same. Give us options to keep Win10 Taskbar and operations like they used to do with Windows 7. So after few days I rolled back from Windows 11 to Windows 10 to free my self from the chains. And man it felt like being released from prison using Windows 11. If I was Bill Gates and Microsoft corporation delivered this WIN11 product slowing down productivity and forcing users to use a much slower much tedious process to basic functions in dealing with Tabs and right click Folder options, I would be wondering who is running this place, and people would be removed from their jobs. This monumental productivity failure isn't something I'd look at as just their choice, but something of a design flaw and find out who's causing it.

My - installed on several different computers - insider versions 27788 - fall apart (compilation error message + reset) when working with Bit Defender Total Security. Previous compilations did not have this problem. The system crashes many times during the use of the compilation with Bit Defender, as well as immediately when trying to uninstall or update Bit Defender. I hope that the reports generated in this way reached you :)FenrisPLFeb 11, 2025Brass Contributor23Views0likes1CommentWindows 11 takes long to boot
My PC takes between 60-80 seconds before the Windows logo comes up. I created a Process Monitor logfile and in there were a dozen entries with Result=CANCELLED which had duration of 3 to 17 seconds. The one taking 17.8 seconds was trying to access a file, "C:\Users\Public\AccountPictures\S-1-5-21-3415986207-50523673-2978598619-1001\{F0230BAE-7D60-44C0-B949-B0EF3DE3E0FF}-Image192.jpg" which does not exist. It does exist in "C:\Users\Public\Public AccountPictures\" so there is a mismatch in my system. I clean installed Windows 11 two years ago and have installed all upgrades and that's what's be done to the system. As for the other long duration entries they all exist i the C:\windows\system32\config folder. What's the problem with my system and what can I do to fix it? I searched the registry for one of the file names and found Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\AccountPicture\Users\S-1-5-21-3415986207-50523673-2978598619-1001 so the registry points to the wrong folder. Folder AccountPicture dos not exist in my system, it's called Public AccountPictures.KirstenGillibrandFeb 11, 2025Occasional Reader17Views0likes1CommentParameter not working for DisplaySwitch.exe
