Should we or shouldn't we?

Well, we’ve been and done it (got W11) and it was quite painless. We followed a video from a guy on YouTube and it was exactly as he said. The only problem we had was we received a couple of similar type warnings. Here’s one of them.

We’re getting to grips with the new style and I’m OK with it.

But it’s the irony of change - and I can’t for the life of me think of the saying by Alaine about change.

Basically you need to update motherboard and/or graphics drivers, the above page has the download links.

The “expert” should look at the Microsoft share price. If that’s getting things wrong, I’ll have some :face_with_hand_over_mouth:

And the former owner of MS is worried about cow burps, meanwhile China powers up to supply the new demand for computers and peripherals (again) all the extra data they collect via 11 will go on to need more data centres. But its cow burps that will end the world🙄

heh heh “officially”. It took me ages to find and switch off everything I could on Windows11 installation. Then same for Google.

I’ve noticed over time that Google will introduce some new ‘feature’ or parameter that means data is being collected. And miraculously, when you come across that setting who knows how much later (as they didn’t particularly notify when an update brought it in), that parameter was of course initially set by default to the “yes, please collect my data” option.

Microsoft updates also quite often do the same over the years, and sometimes even override your existing “No I don’t want this” settings.

See also Facebook where if you hide a post because you don’t like it the software says “OK we’ll hide that topic for a while…”

Arrogant tossers.

Just done the W11 update on my image processing computer, followed by a driver update. Seems a bit snappier than before. I agree that it’s irritating having to turn off an uninstall stuff, and more annoying when copilot - that you told the system to uninstall - keeps appearing in different menus.

I’ve found setting Windows updates to manual works a treat.
