My laptop wouldn’t stop bugging me, so I upgraded to Windows
11. Somehow it’s always worse than you think it’s going to be in ways you don’t expect.
The annoying part is it actually functions well otherwise
and my internet driver no longer crashes. But the rounded corners are really
awful—an affront to all that is good in the world. And I have no idea why, but
Chrome windows (and only Chrome windows), when maximized, have a gap all around
them, which is as ugly as the rounded corners. The absolute kick to the face,
though, was that it eliminates words from icons, so I have no idea what the
hell I’m switching between when I have multiples of, say, Word open, which I
often do. I just hate not having words so I can actually SEE what’s open, as I
find there nothing more horrific than having to hover over the icon and have
the stupid preview popup. I’ve been trying to get rid of that for YEARS and now
they’ve made it mandatory. Or did, until I downloaded something to finally let
me see the damn words telling me what I have open.
TL;DR: Functional, aesthetically displeasing, and it adds extra steps to EVERYTHING.
That's a headache.
ReplyDeleteWindows is the worst when it comes to upgrades. I say no as long as possible.
ReplyDeleteI updated recently and those things haven't bothered me. What is driving me nuts is the start button and how giant it is and they won't let me change the size.
ReplyDeleteFortunately, my computer doesn't have the capability to upgrade to 11, so I'm safe. For now. Although, likely I'll need a new computer sooner rather than later.
ReplyDeleteMakes me very glad I use a Mac! Although I use Windows at work, and we'll no doubt have to deal with the upgrade there at some point.
