Have you upgraded to Windows 11 yet?
According to the three-party statistics, among Windows users, Win11 currently accounts for about 15%, which is still far behind Win10’s 71%.
As for the reasons why Windows 11 is not so popular, previous Slash Gear editor FAISAL RASOOL summarized some points:
1. The reset start menu is not easy to use
Although the new start menu is visually attractive, it has changed many people’s habits of using Windows for many years, and the degree of criticism is no less than Win8 at that time. “All Apps” is organized in the corner, so you may ignore this place when you need to find all apps.
2. Center the task column
Indeed, centering the taskbar icons is not bad for large screen displays, and you are sitting in front of the screen and facing it. However, if you use a small screen, it may not be so convenient. In addition, the previous progress bar indicator, frosted glass effect, etc. have been cut off.
What’s even more ridiculous is that the start menu shortcut icons cannot be directly dragged to the taskbar and placed, and the taskbar itself cannot be repositioned or resized. If you want to pin an application shortcut to the taskbar, you need to follow the steps below obediently. Not as convenient as Windows 10 dragging it over.
3. Simple UI is complex
The logic of many modern operating systems is to simplify, but the right-click menu of Windows 11 complicates things. Many common functions are hidden under “More”, that is, from the first to the second level level. The decompression function after installing the third party software is also placed in the secondary directory.
In addition, it only takes two or three steps to change the default browser on Win10, but on Win11, more than a dozen types of network opening need to specify the default browser one by one.
4. Rigid system specification requirements
Win11 introduced strict requirements on TPM module version, processor, etc. at the beginning of its release. Although there are many ways to avoid it, in fact, subsequent OTA updates are still affected, and Microsoft still forces you to upgrade the hardware configuration.
In addition, some system functions must be installed or used with a Microsoft Internet account, which has also caused some troubles for protecting personal privacy.
