I tried w11. From driver problems to usability issues ( what the hell is MS problem with start menu anyway? ) to ads in the fuc***g file explorer ( you can disable them but still one of the many annoying w11 features) i will be sticking to 10 for a few more years till i finally make the move to linux ( once valve release steam deck OS on desktop which they said will do )

I just bought a prebuilt Lenovo from Bestbuy on Black Friday.
It took me several hours but I did all the work arounds to make Windows 11 look and behave more like 10.
right click menu registry setting, taskbar button positions were the two big ones for me.
It holds my surround audio settings. 10 would always reset it to stereo.
But yes 11 has had no other glaring issues yet.
But I'm comparing an old win10 with a sata ssd to a new much faster computer with a m.2 ssd.
AREYOUOKAY?

Unless that AI gives me decent rewards points again I don’t give a shit.

You can use MicaForEveryone. It only seems to work on windows explorer, but it does give you a bit of the blur back.Can anyone give me information on how to fully go AERO-TRANSPARENCY-ACRYLIC-GAUSSIAN BLURR on Windows 11? I want that to be implemented on the edge browser and file explorer. Does stardock do that?
It doesn't have to look or have the design elements from windows 7, but at least the full blown effect.
(You do need to run as admin, even if you only install for yourself.)
With this app you can add blur to just the title bar.
Or you can blur the whole window. It does look cool, but it can make folder names hard to read with some backgrounds.

If I wanna game, I've got a PlayStation. If I need my computer I'm on Linux Mint. Got really fed up of Microsoft in all its forms.

From my experience, in w11 HDR is better for gaming but uses more RAM and i had a problem with 2 sreens, dmw.exe used much more gpu than w10, i tried everything. I rolled back to w10

Windows 11 23H2 update is affecting gaming performance, but Microsoft says there's a workaround
An affected user, Anant Acharya, complained about the reduced performance on the official Microsoft forums. He says the problem cropped up on his 2020 HP Pavilion laptop,...www.techspot.com
The hilarious part is CPU virtualization and memory integrity are the first things people turn off with gaming focused systems cause they actually have real measurable performance costs (unlike most of the snake oil "optimizations" that are typically recommended). Them being on by default in 11 is what was responsible for it benchmarking notably slower than 10. No clue what they could have fucked up to reverse the behavior where turning them on would somehow be faster.
