I just had to update my work PC to Windows 11 yesterday. The main things that bother me so far are just UX choices that are annoying. Things like the power button being on one side, when I click it, the options appear on the other side of the pop up. This is basic bad design. Users should have related interactive options next to each other, not in a separate area they aren't looking at. Also, some notifications are bigger and more annoying than they were on Windows 10, while others are less intrusive, but mean I miss seeing them entirely.

I haven't done much on it, but some of those little things are first impressions. It worries me that they are letting this bad of basic UX design slip into their core OS.

Windows (insert version here) has always been seen as bad, until nearly everyone moves to that version, complaining about the next version. There are ways to stop the data flowing. Hosts file. Blocking using a firewall, whatever. It can be done. Every computer on this network, other than a couple, are Windows 11. Not one person has complained. In fact, once a couple have it, the rest want it. Why? They have no idea.

I think Windows has inadvertently also made me paranoid about all OSes. Or maybe it's just companies in general. Apple has done a swell job of making me worry about future proofing things as they switch up compatibility for things like Apple Pencil and Magic Keyboard, because of course they would.

Funny, my secretary has a stand alone computer that doesn't qualify for a W11 upgrade. I blame every glitch on the fact that she's forced to use W10. It's pure paranoia. See what MS has done to us
