Other than Copilot, what does Windows 11 do worse than 10? I havent tried it yet.

[–] esc27@lemmy.world 9 points 6 days ago (1 children)

the UI may be noticeably slower on some systems
it is more difficult to avoid using a Microsoft account
the task bar cannot be moved and customization is more limited
some right click menu options are hidden behind an extra click
the start menu is different. More like an app drawer than previous versions.
some long depreciated features (like ungrouping taskbar items) were removed.

Personally none of that bothers me, but everyone's usage is different.

Oh, and the worst issue is the hardware support. It requires a newish processor and TPM (or equilivant)

[–] Kit@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 6 days ago

Come to think of it, I think that's why I never updated.

Keylogging, and literally recording everything you do, then sending all of that information back to Microsoft.

So does Windows 10 and every version of Windows for the last 15 years

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago

Windows Recall is Windows 11 only. Additionally the keylogging is far more intrusive in 11 than any previous version. User telemetry is not the same as straight-up spyware, which is what Windows has become.
