Why No One Is Using Windows 11

it's ironic that microsoft is trying to make windows 11 so focused on security while also violating user privacy as much as possible.

My PC tried to get me to install Windows 11 yesterday. I took away its CPU cooler until it learns to behave.

You missed a chance to say "most people aren't switching because of ads where they don't belong, unlike this relevant one from our sponsor..."

The official system requirements are really high. A lot of people don't want to upgrade because of that!

there is a reason why windows 10 is called as "the last windows you will ever need".

My favorite thing about windows 11, is how it takes more clicks than windows 10 to do the same task

The main problem with Windows 11 (not spoken about in the video at all) is the privacy concerns. There are so many dark patterns, malicious compliance and everything is opt out (with the risk of silently turning back on after every update), that there is no way in hell I'm going to waste a lot of time (almost a part-time job) just researching and keeping up with all the small details to avoid my own computer screwing me over. Software in general (the OS included) should be a useful tool to help me, not something I should be constantly battling against. Those issues also plague Windows 10 to some degree, to the point that I'm really thinking about migrating to a Linux distro for production tasks and leaving a Windows partition for gaming (for those still incompatible with Linux).

Windows 11 was the final push to get me to install a Linux Desktop, the AI bullshit was too much for me. Even worse, they re-introducing shitty visual updates that makes you search more and more until you find the Windows 7 UI that actually does what you wants. The OS just got progressively worse since Windows 7.

When Microsoft advertised windows 10 as "the last windows you will ever need". Microsoft should be forced to support Windows 10 for the rest of time.

Microsoft told us that windows 10 will be the last version of windows and I'm just sticking to that. After windows 10 I'm switching to linux.

I was hyped when they anounced that windows 11 will be able to run (emulated) Android apps, but sadly they stopped working the project when management realized they couldn't make much profit of an android app store on a windows PC :(

I got windows 11 since the leaked iso, and its as broken as 10 in 2015... My system literally cannot shutdown! It just reboots. Thats ridiculous

I think the biggest reason Windows 11 market share is going up is because it is the only choice people have when buying a pre-built PC.

I run IT for a law firm. We have accreditations that require all software be supported by the vendor. As soon as 10 goes EOL we can't use it. We also use systems that lock us into the Microsoft ecosystem. I'm now in the process of upgrading the machines that will run 11, and replacing the ones that wont. The partners at the firm are not happy that they must spend thousands replacing perfectly good computers.

Over the past two weeks, I've been helping friends with tech issues like installing new drives and reinstalling windows. Every single one of them had their Windows 11 Boot USB tell them their PC wasn't compatible, and I had to manually guide them through enabling TPM and Secure Boot in their BIOS. How Microsoft imagines anyone without a tech savvy friend to make the jump is just unreal.

After a couple of years of using 11 I still can’t find stuff in the settings that are easily found in control panel.

3 years later we still can't drag-and-drop move the taskbar to secondary monitors like we could for the past 2 decades before that.

"we've made huge chunk of computers unable to update to windows 11" also microsoft: why arent everone updating to windows 11?

I recently decided to finally let my laptop upgrade from Win10 to Win11, as it has been asking me to do for so long. I figured it has been long enough that the new-OS teething issues should be sorted, and they announced end of life for Win10, so it seemed like it's a good time. I am very happy to say that it is all thanks to Win11 for inspiring me to finally get around to ditching my last windows install and migrate my laptop to Fedora. Which has been fantastic! I've never been happier with my operating systems. Thanks, Windows 11!

Pretty much every day my PC downloads Windows 11 package, finds out I've got a legacy bios (I made a mistake when installing it years ago) and then it removes the Win 11 package.
