Comment on Windows 11 just isn't enticing Windows 10 users to upgrade, and its market share is actually falling
4am@lemm.ee 2 weeks agoThere’s a lot more telemetry. They’re stuffing ads into it (start menu, explorer panels, etc). They’re creeping generative cloud AI into it. The control panel/setting situation is unbelievably unfinished (for myself, all my audio devices take the name of other audio devices so they’re all working but mislabeled). A recent update broke all VPNs. High system requirements. Locking down features. Removal of customization. Buggy updates. Slow.

Not trying to defend Win11 too much here. But the system requirements aren't bad until you see how much storage it needs and how much it needs for all of the unnecessary fancy junk they put in to have the "best Windows experience" like Windows Hello.
Microsoft initially wanted to get rid of Control Panel entirely, which would stick us to the bare set of options we've been seeing degrade since Windows 8.
