Only empirical evidence. I did a fresh windows install to the (officially supported) living room PC and I have to deal with crap so often that I'll probably switch it back. Some examples:
- Bluetooth stops working once in about a week and only starts working again after ~3 reboots and some luck. Reinstalled drivers and fiddled with it many times.
- WiFi just stopped working altogether 3 weeks into the upgrade. It just refuses to work. Again, reinstalled (officially supported) drivers and messed with it a lot.
- The fans go louder and it's generally hotter.
- This may be a really weird bug that's possibly irrelevant, but the bootloader loves to erase itself from the efi boot options. If you go into the efi settings you have to manually add it, if you don't it'll work until you do.
- General UI bugs (lots of them)
- Subjective, but way more convoluted and annoying UI
I've heard the same kinds of things from other people too.
My advice is to skip upgrading for as long as you possibly can.
- notshift 4y agoI built a new PC recently and installed Windows 11 on it. The bluetooth & sound UIs were completely broken. I had two headsets connected, one was displaying as "Default for audio" but sound was coming through on the other one, and for the life of me I could not figure out how to change sound to the other headset. I think it wasn't showing up in the Sound menu despite clearly showing as connected (disconnecting and reconnecting didn't help). Definitely agree with the sentiment to hold off on the upgrade as long as possible.
