Should I get the new win11 25H update? It's been trying to get me to upgrade, but I keep canceling it.

Average Windows 11 experience, try pressing f10 twice. It happened to me too

i tried that but doesn't work, so i restart my computer and praying to hope my cursor appeared and i think.. it does work

My latest Windows experience:

1. I turn my computer on, it boots
2. I click to go to the sign-in thing
3. The background blurs and the sign-in dialog doesn't pop up

This happened on a Windows 11 computer that was updated recently.

It's fairly easy to fix by restarting, but it's still annoying the frequency that this happens at. Maybe Microsoft should focus more on making their OS work reliably instead of AI that nobody uses.

Yup, just tried pinging it, and it always times out.

What bugs?

Microsoft messed up a million times already - here is a list of only just 10% of everything that happened in the past 3 months:
Broken localhost
Broken Task Manager
Broken Windows Recovery
Broken Windows Update
Failing SSDs
Ruined game performance
Glitched Windows Search
More than 70 zero-day vulnerabilities discovered
Broken BitLocker
Locked out before sign-in, bricking PCs (even without setting up BitLocker)
Ruined SMB file-sharing
Unplayable DRM videos
And much more

I heard something about that. Didn't have IIS installed on my laptop at the time though

I don't remember encountering that

Heard something about that; never encountered it though

I don't play PC games that much so IDK

ma007rio wrote:

Again, never had any glitches with Search that I recall (pun not intended) right now

OK sounds… less than great but I mainly use Windows 10 still so…

Broken BitLocker

I don't really use BitLocker. The Pro feature I most use is Hyper-V

ma007rio wrote:

I do use network file sharing somewhat, and have had some issues… isolated to one computer.

ma007rio wrote:

I don't think I've encountered that

hm..that's not the fault of Windows 11, that's just what SSDs do. granted, they *COULD* help by using less write operations on the drive as that wears it out, but cmon, what operating system doesnt write anything to the drive? also, pro tip: don't store games on your internal SSD, that wears it out *FAST*. store games on external drives if you have an SSD (espically mechanical external drives, those aren't gonna wear out as easy)

I guess my concerns about the durability of SSDs were somewhat justified…
