I don't notice much difference between experience in Windows 7 and Windows 11, aside from needing to manage more policies to prevent their cloud based services.

I don't notice much difference between experience in Windows 7 and Windows 11, aside from needing to manage more policies to prevent their cloud based services. Windows 11 isn't bad if you disable the adware portion. The terminal app is pretty good now and WSL works, albeit not as pleasant as something more native like Linux or even macOS terminal, but the adware is what cripples it IMO.

The terminal app and functional WSL are both available in Windows 10, though. 11 didn't add either of those.

  Windows 11 adds other features that are useful though. I agree, Windows 10 is sufficient but if you know what policies to use then Windows 11 feels pretty much like Windows 10 with some new features.

  In 11, the terminal app can be set as default console app, so you won't see conhost.exe, ever. That's not possible in 10.

    That's a very marginal improvement, since the only time you'd see conhost in 10 now is when a program explicitly launches it.

      and when you launch any random .bat file.

        Or you just change your default program for batch files.

        batch files are handled by cmd.exe, not by conhost.exe. Cmd.exe in turn opens default console. Similarly for powershell, python, farmanager and other console-based apps.
