Here are 13 reasons I hate about windows 11
- If not for the only frigging app I need for work, FUsion, that stops support for windows 10. No update for a cloud based app means no more access to cloud data. Yes, FUsion means Fk-You-sion. I start the fusion by hitting [win] + [F] + [U] + [enter]. That is how much I hate FUsion and Windows11. It was fusion 360 and I used to hit [win] + [3] + [6] + [0] + [enter] using the numpad. I wish I could change the CAD software, but an old dog like me can no longer learn new trick.
- Windows 11 is much sluggish compare to windows 10. That was my first impression on my old PC: Ryzen5 5600G + 16GB RAM + 1660 super. That was a decent computer not as low budget as it seem.
- I got bitten by bitlocker, twice, until I realized bitlocker was enabled by default without telling that during fresh installing windows 11. Yes, lost data and banging my head thinking it was because of hard drive failure. Bitlocker won’t be enabled if you are upgrading from Windows 10, that with bitlocker disabled of course. My bitter experience tells me, it is just a frigging ticking time bomb. Imagine that you store 1 bitcoin in the secured usb stick and somehow you lose the key to unlock the usb stick, yeah that was my feeling, except I am not that rich.
- I understand that TPM is essential for bitlocker, but I don’t want bitlocker in the first place so why do you make it compulsory to install windows 11? Is that the guaranteed way to f*ck up my data when the motherboard fails? Then people will laugh on you because you didn’t backup the keys inside TPM for that worst case scenario.
- Why there is a tickbox on the icon of a file? It just confuses everyone, both new windows users or veterans.
- Why would I need a microsoft account in order to login my PC. Why would I have to jump through hoops and loops in order to login windows the first time without MS account. Are you that data hungry that you want to harvest data from every single windows user? Why would you keep telling me to log in with ms account?
- Why would you pop the backup reminder screen after every single windows update to sell 365 subscription package? Are you that saleperson who’s so clingy to a customer desparately? Why would I want one drive since I have my own server and backup server?
- Why you keep deleting my administrative share after every single windows update, which happens only after a few days. This was so annoying to the point I gave up administrative share and built a dedicated NAS to share file around my homelab instead. Are you deeming administrative share unsecure and force the user doing your way, just like how Bambu “BS” controversy about bambu connect. FIY, “BS” is both Bambu Studio and bullsh*t at the same time in my vocabulary, or should I say “BS BS” instead.
- Why would I have to click on show more options on the popup menu which supposes to be more convenience? Do you understand the copy, cut, paste icons are a lot harder to spot and click with 2K monitor even though the monitor is 29″, not to mention portable 11″ monitor with the same 2k resolution.
- Why would I have to jump through hoops and loops just to disable a NIC or change DNS settings? What’s wrong with the old school control panel so that you are phasing it out?
- We use mspaint because it is simple, it is pixel-based editor. Why would you keep “upgrading” it the worst way possible? “Upgrade” here is in air-quote! Why would you assign a moron programmer to “upgrade” mspaint like that? If I want AI stuffs, I would go with photoshop or go cheap with MS photos app. Isn’t photos app is not enough so that you have to bring AI stuffs into mspaint? When I think of free solution to do with photo editing for website or uploading 3D designs to printables or makerworld for example, such task as adding text, adding arrows, descriptions… to the photo, my first thought is Photoscape v3.7 although it doesn’t have AI sh*t like background removal. You want the photo as real as possible because people hate AI generated photo.
- Why would you remove 3D builder. It was very useful app. It did help me a lot during my first days with 3D printing stuffs. It seems like you are trying to get rid of traces of windows 10 out of windows 11.
- I’m still thinking about #13, might edit the post later. For now the obvious reason is to make the title sound like “13 reasons why” show series or the song “10 things I hate about you”. So, that’s that.
