Statcounter reports that Windows 11 continues to lose its market share for the second month in a row. Windows 10, meanwhile, is gaining more users and is now back above the 70% mark.
Doesn’t this usually happen right about now for new-ish windows releases?
IIRC, it happend when Vista came out and people jumped back to XP, then it happened again when 8 came out and everyone jumped back to 7, and then finally again when 10 came out and people jumped back to 7 again.
I continue to be genuinely shocked about so many little things they did wrong with 11 compared to 10. I can’t click on the time on my other desktops to pull up the calendar/notification center, only my main display. I can’t see the seconds when clicking on the time anymore despite how convenient that was for quickly timing things.
The power menu is to the right of the start menu rather than right above where your mouse lands, forcing extra unneeded movement to shut down the pc. The Volume Mixer menu doesn’t show up in settings search, you have to go to Sound Settings and then click Volume Mixer from there.
It’s little things that all add up to be maddening.
I find the most infuriating thing to be the printer/scanner settings in 11. It’s really fucking hard (for no reason) to manage printers in 11. The worst part is, the devices and printers page that has worked great for the last 20 years is still buried in there. Windows 11, all the features of Windows 10, just with a thick layer of gilded bullshit covering it.
I wish there was a modern supported version similar to XP. 7 wasn’t bad but it was the first version where they started introducing features designed for touchscreens and trying to use the same OS for desktops and tablets. They should have designed separate software for “full feature” computers (desktops and laptops) and mobile devices. I don’t think any of the subsequent releases have improved on 7 as far as the user experience. I’m a little surprised they haven’t released a subscription based OS yet.
