Feedback on Windows 11
I've been a Windows customer since the beginning. I was doing computing back on the TSR-80, when we still saved information on audio tape. However, with the changes in the last few versions of Windows; I feel I can on longer use a Windows product.
I've been using a Windows 11 system for several months now, and I've hated every time I had to use it. With the increase in non-optional "optional" and non-removable features; I've decided that it's time to move onto a Linux based system.
Sincerely,
a former Microsoft customer.

Windows 11 is one of the worst thing that happened to Microsoft Windows, working with it is a nightmare, my old raspberry pi performs faster!
Today I got Windows 11 installed at my notebook at work.
As someone wrote before: LET ME CUSTOMIZE MY TASKBAR !!
microsoft: Why did you remove the Quick Launch ? Instead of improving work you make it worse !
And this is not the first time. You did the same with the update from Windows 7 to 8 !
Please re-introduce a vertical Task Bar in Win11!
Is anyone of Microsoft reading this blog?
LET ME CUSTOMIZE MY TASKBAR.
I use two vertical screens and one horizontal.
The center, horizontal, screen I'm unable to make the taskbar two rows deep, which is obnoxious.
In addition i am now unable to have vertical taskbars on both my side screens- only horizontal at the bottom.
Horrible update for a work environment
For work environment, Windows 10 LTSC is great, and has support till 2032.
They removed VERTICAL TASKBARS! Atleast keep all windows 10 features when updating! Also ruined all my customization like TranslucentTB, gadgetpack, Aero glass, custom start button, custon start sound, displayfusion and much more.
Also new teams takes ages to load up.
Just take a look at windows corrupting its own critical files when updating.
Windows 11 is the biggest POS get someone with a brain to redo it because it's a nightmare or just go back to windows 10. Whoever looked at windows 11 and said "this is an upgrade" needs to be fired
I'm unhappy of Windows 11. After a lots of update I found myself with a OS that does not recognize Bluetooth of others devices, USB port, where my smartphone is plugged in. I have to install Linux OS to do that. WHY?
Microsoft has increasingly integrated features (like apps, services, and even promotional content) directly into the OS. This can be frustrating for users who prefer a leaner, more customizable system and don't want features they consider bloat.
The introduction of features like the Taskbar centering, Start menu changes, and the mandatory use of Microsoft Edge as the default browser might have contributed to your dissatisfaction with the level of control over the user experience.
Many long-time Windows users find the changes to the user interface (like the new Start menu and taskbar behavior) jarring and less intuitive than previous versions.
Well, we are working with customers and w11 systems everyday and this started to be plain horror..
Every morning including weekends we need to connect to some w11 PC and repair mess what "newest upgrade / update" made. Starting from printing, scanning, using network drives.. What was trival 15 yrs ago now is complicated beyond reckognition..
So frustrating - specially how to explain the customer who doesn't need to know anything about PC, why was something happened - of course - "we are the ones who doesn't know how to setup the system(s)"..
Yeah, sure..
