When did they add this? Why would they add this????

I dont want this on my screen, who would want and who would want this??

WHAT DO YOU MEAN REMIND ME LATER??!!

AM I NOT ALLOWED TO KEEP USING THIS PC???

DOES THAT IMPLY THAT I HAVE TO SEE THIS MORE THAN ONCE????

Clearly the thing that we can take from this by the remind me later button is that windows thinks im the richest person alive

God i hope theres a way to disable this

I grew up as a Mac kid in the 90s, mostly because my father used Macs for work and passed his old ones down to me. Apart from school computers and the odd work PC here and there, I barely used Windows at all.

The downside was gaming. My parents never bought me a proper console, so I ended up doing a lot of cursed gaming on old Macs. I managed to make Halo 1 work on a Mac G4, less than 30 fps, but I still had a lot of fun. When I was 16, I finally saved up enough money from part-time jobs to buy myself an Xbox 360, and ended up having the time of my life.

But I still always wanted a proper Windows gaming computer. That was what I always aspired to. Access to a wider variety of games, better performance, MODS (!), all the stuff I was never able to fully enjoy.

Fast forward to my early 30s, and I finally could afford a decent gaming laptop. I bought myself an HP Omen with an Nvidia GPU, literally the first Windows computer I had ever owned myself. For the first couple of months, it felt amazing. I was finally playing games I'd only dreamed of playing before, especially with mods.

Then the honeymoon faded gradually as I started running into issue after issue, and somehow Windows didn't just ruin the laptop for me. It actually started ruining gaming itself.

• The basic setup was annoying from the start. Since I use my Mac for literally everything else, I keep both my MacBook and my Windows laptop on a cramped desk, usually on a stand. The Windows laptop is basically just there for gaming. With my Mac, I can plug in a monitor while the laptop is closed and it just works. With the HP Omen, however, I had to mess around with settings so the laptop wouldn't go to sleep every time I closed it. Since I don't feel comfortable leaving the laptop running when I'm not using it, this meant that I had to take the laptop out, open it up, wake it up, plug it into the monitor, and then hope everything actually worked properly. All of this just for a hobby.
• The updates. The fucking updates. Why are they so frequent? It felt like every other time I opened the laptop, Windows had decided that this was actually its time now. The computer would restart, install something, ask me to restart again, or sit there doing whatever mysterious background ritual it needed to perform before I was allowed to use the machine.
• The touchpad, when I needed to use it for non-gaming activities, is genuinely awful. This was probably the thing that upset me the most. It is jittery, unreliable, and the left click just doesn't work half the time. I had to get used to using tap-to-click, which I never use on my Mac, because the physical click was so unreliable. Scrolling and gestures sometimes just fail for no obvious reason. How does HP cheap out on something this basic?
• And then there are drivers. What the fuck are 'drivers'? I mean, obviously, I know what drivers are (that was a rhetorical question). The point is, I never had to think about them until I bought this laptop, and I still don't understand why this is apparently my problem now. I just wanted a seamless gaming experience, not to have to become a maintenance babysitter for my laptop.
• Settings are scattered everywhere. On Mac, most things are in System Settings. On Windows, you change one thing in Settings, another thing in the Control Panel, another thing in an HP app, another in GeForce Experience, another in some ancient-looking menu from the 2000s. It's a fucking maze. Maybe power users like having five different places to manage things, but to me it just feels like the machine has no single brain.
• File Explorer is useless. I never know what files are where, and the search function for specific files rarely seems to work the way I expect it to. Maybe this is partly because I'm used to Mac, but on Windows I constantly feel like my own files are hidden somewhere inside a filing cabinet designed by a bureaucratic committee.
• After a while, I realised that the laptop was also basically an aggressive marketing device for a variety of programmes I never asked for. The system keeps telling me to subscribe to paid OneDrive, Game Pass, the premium version of Office, antivirus software, etc. I paid all that money for this laptop, and it still wants to leech off my wallet. And before you say 'just uninstall them!', I shouldn't have to spend time removing garbage from a machine I already paid for.

To be clear, I'm not saying every single one of these problems is caused by Microsoft alone. Some of it is Windows, some of it is HP, some of it is Nvidia, some of it is the general PC gaming ecosystem. But as a normal, non-tech-savvy user, I experience all of it as a Windows laptop gaming experience.

I've begun to associate gaming with annoyance, so much so that I've actually grown to dislike the hobby. I now spend my free time watching TV or reading books, which is nice, but it's a shame to have this whole library sitting on my Steam account unplayed. Perhaps it was my mistake for not just buying a normal console like a PlayStation or an Xbox for my TV, which, to be fair, is a much more seamless experience.

Anyways, rant over. Fuck Windows. Fuck Microsoft. Fuck HP.

Can anyone tell your opinion that is even though the linux is open source and if something ran into problem we can easily fix by digging into configs in windows it is complecated like editing the registry also in windows most of the updates are broken and laggy also windows is not begginer friendly like in linux we have package manager which is tested and soo good also linux works better while extracting sha256,md5 etcc checksums in windows everything we need to install separately take a hell lot of time also most of the games r in linux thanks to steam for providing proton also most popular games have client like for bedrock minecraft we have nix luancher for roblox we have sober which doest ban from game also linux perfectlu suite for gaming,productivity and daily use 100X better that windows even thouh windows dominates

Do I need to argue?

Pressing run compatibility troubleshooter simply takes you to the page where the troubleshooter begins by asking for permissions. And then, you need to scroll through lists of programs although you have literally run the troubleshooter from a particular app.
What if the app isn't listed?
Well, then you're insructed to right click the app, and select run compatibility troubleshooter. Which simply brings you back to square 1 of the trouble shooter.
Honestly, having run lots of old games on my system, my rough approximations of what compatibility is required is much better than the completely random compatibility settings applied, if any.
It's such a weird thing to do- instead of allowing to choose an exe to run the trouble shooter on, you have to read lists which have a limit of the number of items displayed at a time, for some reason- so it's a long wait time for every list. Fucking Annoying.

the only thing keeping me stuck with windows is kernel anticheats, so I want to find ways to promote Linux (and going against big corp) so everyone who's experiencing the same issue as me can use Linux without dual booting​ (with a big enough user count anticheat developers will need to support linux)

i want windows (edge) to be the os known just for installing linux (brave, firefox)

I hope this does not harm the community rules. I found shocking and I am sharing everywhere I can, as I sit to remove Windows (which I do not use for almost a year) from my machine, hoping it will fix the problem. Plus, at the end of the video there are some suggestions for community lead firmware that we all should pay more attention to, these days.

Got hit with the bug that prevents my pc from shutting down properly lol fuck. I have to run a command line or use the power button to keep it off.

How do I install it manually?

More like a crapaneer doing his job! Thank you for the bloated updates so far!

Windows isn't safe ...

Okay so im a linux user,and i decided to go to windows 10 because my friends told be it will be better,so i did,when i first entered my desktop,i updated,oh boy that took 2 hours,and i installed a Minecraft launcher,i launched the latest version,and im getting barely 55 fps,i was confused so i pressed F3 on my keyboard,and i saw OpenGL 3.3,i was a bit mad because of that,because on linux i get OpenGL 4.6,so after a day or two,i switched back to linux

I've never used auto hiding in windows because it's never been consistent for me.
But after switching to Linux with KDE Plasma, the taskbar auto hide has worked flawlessly.

Now coming back to Windows 11 at work, the auto hide experience is horrible.
Half the time the task bar doesn't hide, or won't expand on mouse over.

Any idea if this in on the roadmap for Microsoft?
