I have made a claim before which I shall make again: Windows 11 should be considered malware, it is the worst product Microsoft has ever produced. I hope the experience gets even worse so that more people will abandon Windows for better OS's.

Agreed. My use of windows dies with Windows 10. My next gaming PC will be Linux and I will deal with not all games working. My steam deck proved this is 100% viable.

I installed Windows 11. A couple hours later, I was horrified to find that Windows 11 uploaded all files on my desktop to Microsoft. There's no warning or opt-in. OneDrive is set up by default to silently copy all your files. How is that legal?

  Windows 10 had the same behavior. MacOS has also done this by default for years now. I don’t say this to excuse the behavior. On the contrary, I’ve seen many a small business owner run afoul of compliance requirements because they aren’t aware of the default behavior. Slurping data to consumer-grade cloud services ought to require informed consent.

for sure enshittification going on on win11 home edition, when inside an explorer folder , i can't even drag and drop another folder or file onto the address bar anymore (moving files up a directory). I swear i could do this in like windows xp and 2000, windows is for sure going backwards i hate it. i keep getting a blocked icon when i hover over parent directories. i guess its motivation to become more proficient with the command line also another hugely annoying thing is how windows has removed the labels for copy/paste and shortened the context menu. I recently went back to school and non tech savvy people have no clue about those icons and i swear i have to apologize to them everytime (since im the "tech guy") how bad microsoft is lmao
