                So this is the result of previous announcement where they claimed windows 10 will be the last one.

                  Every update makes it worse. Earlier my Kyocera KM5050 network printer got disconnected. No w Brother HL5000D also. Error log always lead to some windows update. Unupdated PCs and windows 7 PCs always stay error free

                    Microsoft is copying bad practices of apple along with good practices.

                          Mr. Kroniks, 18 Nov 2021Windows Central: Windows 11 and 10 sync release cadences... moreYeah this news as downgrade is dumb. Like how is getting less update a downgrade ? I tough they make the windows 10 to like SE version or like Android have GO version that is stripped down on everything. That be a downgrade.

                            Anonymous, 18 Nov 2021Win11 is much more better Better? You mean better with:

                            *Microsoft Edge being forced to you
                            *No drag to taskbar window
                            *No expandable taskbar icons
                            *No taskbar toolbars
                            *Can't see what is in folders anymore from the icon alone
                            *Bigger taskbar with less window space
                            *More telemetry

                            But yeah, I guess the Animations are pretty cool eye candy. Still slower than Windows 10 animations though.
                            *Features being removed that benefited power users like the ribbon in windows explorer

                            *Sluggish interface
                            *More limited context menu
                            *Can only have task bar on bottom
                            *Windows explorer is slower
                            *Start menu opens in the middle with less icons, no more folders, live tiles, less icon space. Actually, more icon space but you have less icons that you can view at once.

                              Well these updates on windows are annoying as hell anyways. The less the better i would say. I have set the update do do at night 03:00 but it still updates on a day time and then spam me that restart your pc notification every after 15-30 minutes. And when the time is set to update and do the automatic restart then the windows is not doing it. It's seriously annoying when it start to update and download as it makes the PC lag and stutter even tough i dont have that bad PC. Desktop i5 4th generation with 250GB SSD for windows and 2TB HDD for other stuff. Also 16GB DDR3 1600mHz. This dumb hdd security thing for requirement for W11 is just dumb

                                Awesome! Good to see less buggy "features" being added so quickly like the News and interests toolbar which removing it broke the taskbar for a few weeks (corrupted icons and all) until Microsoft eventually found this issue and fixed it. I'm pretty sure that the search bar was flickering white while in dark mode too.
