Windows 11 has got to be the worst Operating System I've ever used in my life
I've never ever been this disappointed in a software product as much as I am disappointed with Windows 11. I've always held onto the current WIN for as long as I could, and last month I bit the bullet and thought I'd give WIN11 a go, and I'm regeretting it ever since. It's not even, "omg this is new, I don't know how to use it" type of frustration - no, the OS is a complete mess, it's unstable, messy, unprofessional, and the entire thing felt fake and dysfunctional on so many levels. It really makes my blood boil.
- When I drag the volume all the way down in the sound mixer, it doesn't mute the app, I have to click on the app icon itself
- When I select a lot of files, and I click in that little small gap in-between each file, it deselects all of them
- When I have a lot of windows open and I would hover over them to select one, it rarely catches it from the first try. I'd click the window I want to use and it never selects it
- If I have a file path selected in a window, I click away, and I click back again on that window, I get the drop down list of paths that lead to that path and I end up clicking on a completely different path that would take me out of the window I selected
- When I click on and out of a folder, it updates in the Quick Access bar and in doing so, it glitches the entire UI across all windows open
I could go on and on and on, this has got to be the worst product I've ever used. I have a couple big projects I'm finishing now, but after I'm done, I'm going back to Windows 10, and I'd stay with that until it gets hacked by Anonymous or something. My lord what a joke of a product.

Omg, where to start ?
This not my first or last rant about Windows , I want to put a storm shutter over it.
For me this whole nightmare started with W11.
First of all, the only thing windows does is force more control over everything I do.
Life is about choices, w11 is about taking choices away from the user.
I played the game, upgrade computer, so w11 can control it better. I don’t need all the extra levels of security and that is the problem. I spent money to upgrade. I had all of software installed, turns out w11 would not let the 3rd party software operate (drivers) all of the wonderful tech everywhere and no one could help. I gave up retro grade to 10 and it worked fine until the end of support.
It seems not unlike our government, windows is unhappy that I don’t run the latest system controller.
My software that was working (dongle for music software licenses) conveniently now is ignored. Perfect, I changed nothing. The program is in charge. How horrible is this?
No one even notices this, we are sheep.
Windows 11 is fine for me. i like the design and improved search function.
why you must learn it it is will be excellent when you learn it it has file explorer with copilot and etc the apps is optimized after update you will see !!😇😇
Copilot is for id..ts, its proving how stupid people like to be, even universety levels around the the world are cheating in exams cause the "brain" is stuck on "do it for me" all the AI is for, is to take more control over people that are stupid enough to use it, instead of learning with reading
Totally agree!!
I totally agree, Windows 11 is an utter disgrace. New Outlook is an utter disgrace also.
For an organisation like MS to release to the public such a dysfunctional operating system and an email client, New Outlook, is beyond my comprehension. One cannot even change column headings in New Outlook e.g. change the "From" heading in the Sent folder to "To"... how basic is this!!!!!
It is very obvious that MS never thoroughly tested the product and are relying on users to give them feedback for onward development. The product was prematurely released.
I repeat Windows 11 and New Outlook in its present form is an utter DISGRACE!!!
