Since Windows 10, updates are just like Russian roulettes, you will never know what they are going to fix or break. Making it worse, you don't have control when to update any more. I still remember what on the face one of my colleague demoing to our big boss, Windows decided it's time to update and rebooted showing 200+ updates to be installed and over 2 hours to go. I seem to be lucky enough to dodging whole disk being wiped by an update, but still I experienced more than enough nuisances. The most significant ones were UI changes. Those were just changes to change without any obvious benefits but broke lots, lots of things. Put all those small little annoying bugs, I noticed those core utilities once rock solid started to corrupt. For Windows 10, once I had to manually set the IP address as I had to change some settings on one of my routers in bridge mode, it turned out all 3 UIs (traditional GUI, new metro UI and command line) were broken. Eventually I had to combine two of them to get the job done. Also, the disk management utilities were broken too while I was trying to clean wipe one of my boot thumb drives for something else, which forced me to do it in Linux. For Windows 11, it's even worse. It first silently updated one of my computers to it, I did not like those huge buttons in the task bar, so changed the registry but the alignment was wrong, so I rolled it back. Soon I bought a new surface pro for my kid which came with 11. It looked okay but less than one week later, a update was installed, and the external monitor started to blink. So I uninstalled the update, but the whole system was screwed up, so I had to downgrade to Windows 10. A couple of months later, I bought another laptop came with 11 too. It was okay until yesterday after another update. Edge was slowed down so much that can take 30s just to switch to another tab. Tried all different settings, uninstalled the update, none worked. I virtually figured out why just minutes ago. So all the URL screening sh*ts which were previously turned off now back on. Once I turned off those, it finally returned normal. Probably it's time for me to ditch Windows once and for all after over two decades.
