Loads of people are damn stupid. They think the newer has to be better. Some even click the update button everyday to see if there is something newer aka better coming from Microsoft @ryan

 

 

 

 

Microsoft confirms issues in Windows 11 KB5036980

Mayank Parmar - April 28, 20240

Some users who have installed the Windows 11 KB5036980 optional update have been facing new problems. Microsoft has acknowledged the reports and confirmed the issues.

 

In a Feedback Hub post first spotted by Windows Latest, several users complained that they’re getting 0x80070520 error messages when they try to change their account profile picture. The error is mostly experienced on devices with a local account only, which means you won’t run into it if you use a Microsoft account.

 

It’s worth noting that KB5036980 is an optional cumulative ‘preview’ update, which means it won’t download or install automatically unless you manually go to Settings and click “Download & Install” under the update...... See also my reply on top with the bolded text.

Microsoft confirms recent Windows security update breaks VPNs, no fix yet

LooL. People don't want cancer installed on their computers. People have voted with common sense. There is still hope for the humanity @Mr. Fox

 

How Windows 10 is currently annoying us with pop-ups

Windows 10 displays full-screen adverts for the upgrade, even on Windows 10 computers that do not meet the requirements for Windows 11. The annoying upgrade notifications are even appearing on Windows 10 PCs within companies. At the same time, Microsoft has increased the number of upgrade-eligible Windows 10 PCs. So far, however, none of this has been successful; on the contrary, Windows 10 has recently gained market share, while Windows 11 has lost market share.

Newer is always better newer.

The numbers and the graph can speak for themself. Windows 11 is a failed OS and Microsoft know it. Even some smart people know it. With much lower sales of new computers the 25% market share would be much much worse. So Microsoft is saved by sales of new machines that only have Win 11 installed. 

 

Windows 10 returns to 70% market share as Windows 11 continues to sink

Windows 11 drops to 25 percent, continuing last month's slide

It makes my heart happy and I hope it continues. It is a joyful thing to see there are enough people with common sense to avoid downgrading from Windows 10 to Windows 11. I hope that this causes the people responsible for Windows 11 being the piece of crap that it is great suffering and hardship. Scummy products exist because scummy people create them.

We were saying the same things comparing Windows 7 to Windows 10, what, 6 years ago?

What would happen if Windows 7 source code was released? Just a hypothetical? Massive 3rd party driver development, and a jump to first in marketshare...lol

Sympathetic as i am to these sentiments, they add security when they add bloat. Eventually they fix the stuff they broke and regain speed they lost. I'm tempted to try Tiny11 but the last thing i want to do is play with computers after working on them all day.

Nothing will ever be as good as Windows 7. The only thing wrong with it is the lack of current hardware driver support, and that is only because control freaks have more or less forbidden commercial driver development for Windows 7. Not sure if it is the truth or not, but I heard that there have been at least a couple of super-talented "pro-level" driver modders that have received cease and desist others and threats of litigation from the Redmond Reprbates for doing so. The Redmond Rejects know that if drivers remain widely available for Windows 7 there are too many wise people that will refuse to install the new trash OSes.

Some of us do not care about that and feel like the "need" for it falls somewhere between fake/fraud or grossly exaggerated. How else could these brain-damaged Nazis get smart people to install their dung OS? They have to lie, distort, exaggerate and deceive to avoid failing harder than they already have. I do not use security software and do not install security or feature updates. Around 2015 I discovered the reward for not plastering my OS with "security" feces was much greater than the hypothetical risk.

 

I have avoiding issues by:

• Not visiting questionable and skank web sites
• Not opening/viewing 90% of my email (at least that much is unwanted, unsoliticed or spam)
• Not opening any email attachment that I was not expecting to receive
• Not downloading or installing software just because it seems interesting
• Not downloading files from foreign file sharing sites
• Making my own archive of software that I do install and use (download once and done)
• Always show hidden files and file extensions and compare checksums
• Having a Macrium Reflect image of the OS I can restore if something does go wrong

Not as good as Windows 7, but not as bad as 10 or as atrocious as 11. Where they started circling the drain and focusing on stupid things was 8.X and 8.X was uglier than even 11 without aesthetic mitigations.

Haven't looked. "Tiny" sounds like it's worth looking into. I want path of least resistance, latest os is simplest.
