Advice Request I just installed Windows 10 after using Windows 11 since its early beta

[byronbytes]

I think it's funny how everyone complained about the start menu since Windows 8, Windows 10 managed to somewhat fix it, and then they managed to ruin it again with Windows 11.

I'm not switching to Windows 11 until most of the bugs are fixed, because looking at the patches, there are tons of random crashes and bugs that still occurr.

And I like Windows 11 as much as I liked Windows 10.
I set the context menu (which was troublesome for me at the beginning) as it is in Windows 10.
The system with software and drivers occupies almost 40 GB

I honestly don’t understand such negativity that is poured on Windows 11, in my opinion the system is no worse than dozens, with a good interface, fast.

Even Linux has a better UI at this point, Windows 11 just made Windows 10 UI inconsistencies worse.

Well, it's not that bad

My prediction is, you'll return to Windows 11 soon

I am back now on Windows 11 Dev 22h2 25120
And still have the old unsupported PC.

Update: Back to Windows 10.


Reason: Sick of having to set the Text size to 106 in order to get rid of the pixelated/blurry text.

Not having Taskbar options like small taskbar and ungroup taskbar icons.
Menus look bigger in Win11. I don't like that.
Not having Ribbon in File Explorer.

Bottom line: I will use Windows 10 till its extended support.

I, too, hate Windows 10 21H2 and I'm curerntly running LTSC 1809 and it is running great. I will not be upgrading to Win11. I would rather run linux and use windows in a sandbox.

Loving Windows 11 for well over a year, yet to have a major crash or issue - Where these problems others have come from I can only wonder?

Keep wondering till the end of 2025. That time MS might deliver better version of Win11, which will be Win 12.

P.S. You wrote: " yet to have a major crash or issue" I did not get your meaning.

I mean it's been pretty stable & without issues & apart from a few minor cosmetic problems when first installed the preview June last year, overall the most stable & likeable OS I've used - However it's personal choice what we use - We don't know what's happening in 2025 though - At the end of the day its an operating system & whatever you use most most of day to day browsing & use will be similar as with Linux too.

@Sorrento I agree with your overall statement/idea. Yes, its stable as Win10 but I always hate if the new software update, or new version is a drawback from the previous version. Win11 is the same.
Why remove some features that did work pretty fine for years, and for savvy people and pro enthusiastic geeks?

If MS adds options, then I am fine, otherwise I feel I am forced to use something and feel depreciated on that.
I would ask for such options to have as below:


Option to remove rounded window corners.

Option to enable Compact context menu as default.

Option to have a compact Taskbar option like Windows 10’s small taskbar icons.

Option to never combine taskbar items.

Option to disable Folder thumbnails.

Option to have Ribbon in File Explorer.


Thanks.

Have you tried Start 11? I've not used it but it des give some of the features you want and I agree probably shouldn't have been removed in the first place?
