Yeah no, Windows 11 IS far worse than (current) Windows 10
I've been using Windows 11 for some time. Besides it's terrible AI features being shoved down our throats, what's different about it from Win10?
I don't see too much of a difference between the two versions. The AI enshittification is relatively recent.
For me it's the removal and change of UI elements. There is still no built in way to move the task bar to the top or side of the screen and to get a useful right click menu back I have to go into the registry and change a value. There is also the whole thing where you are forced to use a Microsoft account with no option to use a local account instead.
Not defending windows 11 in any way, but on install, when you get to the "login to your microsoft account" screen, if you open command prompt (ctrl + f10 i think) and open the network utility - type
ncpa.cpl, then you can find and disable your network adaptor. Close cmd and the network utility and click back. It will ask you to create a local user.I've done this a couple of times and it hasn't forced me to create a Microsoft account yet (I use a lot of windows vms). If this no longer works on win11, apologies, it used to.
But I shouldn't have to do that. I should just be able to say no.
