Just when I was ready to upgrade to 11; I don't think I've ever been this behind in Windows upgrade cycles outside of the awful ones (ME, Vista and 8).
I've got Win 11 on my laptop on with the last update I think it's ok to use now. What's wrong with it?
Not a privacy freak, but still concerned about the overheads with sending unncessary data too. And I really just want an OS, not a nanny on the desktop. Copilot in Edge is useful but I hate the nagging about using it.
I don't really care about that as long as it doesn't interfere with my daily use; that's what I really dislike whenever MS adds something to Edge, it adds cruft to the UI, and also why I get the complaints about ads in the Start Menu (I'm not in the USA, never had ads in the Start Menu ever). That shit would be so infuirating.
I have a few counters I manage, plus my personal laptop. I've set all of them to only allow updates up to version 22H2, windows 10 lts. Hopefully that means they will never try to upgrade to windows 11.
Edit: computers. I don't manage any counters that run an OS, as far as I'm aware.
You've inadvertently discovered the Windows Rule: every other version sucks.
Not true, I've been happy with 8.1 and 11.
