Feedback on Windows 11
Over the last several years, I've become very disenchanted with Windows, and the new updates that were installed last night are emblematic of the problems. I was in the midst of working with enormous data files, and the system forced an update and restarted, closing my programs, which resulted in me losing my place. And the reason for the critical update? Windows added a startup app that would tell me the latest NBA scores and stock market trends on the locked screen. I could not care less about sports or stocks, and even if I did, why would I want this info in my face before I even sign into my computer? By the way, I also loath the new subscription-based software. It seems to me that, since Bill Gates left, Windows has been attempting to emulate Apple. To me this is a mistake. Not everyone swoons over their business model of making the newest ephemeral fads both irresistible to consumers and incompatible with older versions. Windows in contrast was great about being user-friendly and robust to version updates, but this is no longer the case. About these updates that installed last night, I already went into the settings to remove the changes.
