What? They altered the Start Menu once more, yet the old Control Panel remained intact during my last check. The "new" control panel merely extends the design from Windows 10. How familiar are you with Windows 11? A significant portion of the interface issues stem from assumptions and rumors rather than actual experience.
I realize that locating troubleshooting options on Windows 10 wasn't the same as on Windows 11, so my initial encounters were limited or even concealed.
You're asking for a precise explanation of what you need, noting that the switch to W11 hasn't changed much. You're looking for guidance on troubleshooting, possibly after a fresh install and driver updates. Clarify your issue so help can be more specific.
We've been using 11 for quite some time, but I think a skilled Windows 10 user should be able to solve problems by thinking critically or leverage the many available tools. Still, they're essentially similar.
I don’t understand anymore. I remember it was a version of Windows 11 with an extra letter at the end, but I can’t recall what it was. It could just be a simplified OS he has, not the standard Windows 11.
I'm sorry, but I fail to see any valid question or complaint about W11 in this thread. If you don't even know what OS your dad has (he doesn't have some Tiny11 or some hack?), i really don't see how you are in a position to judge W11 proper. Before judging an OS, one should use it and actually try to make it work. and google for solutions. If that doesn't help, post a question here with all the detail about the OS and what you want to accomplish and what you have done so far. This isn't specific about you or this thread. But with W10 EOL there seems to be an influx of people that "heard" somewhere that W11 is bad. But never tried it. it literally almost looks like W10 (and can easily be made to look even more like W10). and the typical complaints (telemetry, ads) already existed in W10. There literally have been 5 years to prepare for W11 or test it. And besides the typical 1st-year pains, it has been a great OS and much better than W10 IMHO. Basically a renewed and re-freshed W10. FWIW, TPM requirement was the only significant change. Anything else could have been a service pack to W10. With MS offering the ESU for one year, I already know, W10 users now will forget about upgrading, and in a year, when the ESU expires, they will awake again and wonder about W11 again. I'm transitioning some of my PCs to Linux. and some aspects are nicer than Windows. But I also see why Linux only has 5% market share and is unlikely to gain significantly. On modern hardware, W11 in most cases is the better OS for desktop users that just want to use their software. Only downside is the account/copilot/TPM/adverts/OneDrive stuff - but that can be removed easily. Most people having problems with W11 also installed questionable RGB or motherboard software and so on and download every fancy toy they can find on any questionable website.
It seems like you're referring to a version of Windows 11, but you're unsure which one. You're expressing concern about switching and potential future problems, not necessarily criticizing Windows 11 itself.
