TROUBLE WITH LATEST WINDOWS UPDATE?

[Journey]

It seems that I am back in the days of DSL since the latest Windows update. Anyone else having a slowdown?

Not YET

Windows updates have FUBAR'd my computer so many times!!

The last one took me 2 days to figure out how to fix it!

I went psychopathic for several hours, then apologized to my wife for being such a potty mouth.

I can't remember ever having a problem with a Windows update.

Heard lots of horror stories, but I guess I've just been lucky so far.

My most recent update occurred two days ago.

Still running Windows 10 Home on my notebook. My best and favorite was Windows 7. I have Linux on here but finally gave up on it. Spent more time in a Linux forum always asking for help and downloading tons of systems crap. Finally said screw it. I'm not going to IT my life away online. Understand Mint is mush more user friendly but just got burned out on the whole deal. Grew up (at work) on Unix with assorted SPARC stations. Loved it after learning it. But then we had a huge computer shop to support it all.

No problems "here" on Win 7. It still does everything I need it to do. YMMV.

My favorite version on Windows was 3.1. They’ve all been underwhelming since.

Tried to post a reply and the 'puter locked up. Again. It's the bleeping code monkeys. Back before I bought a home PC, I read a bunch of journals. The item that stuck in my mind was a really senior guy who bemoaned the onset of cheap memory. When memory was expensive, code had to be concise. When memory got cheap, the code writers got sloppy. And playful. There are Easter eggs scattered through code that can pop up occasionally. One popped up while I was on the phone with a Gateway tech that he'd never heard of. It was a Kilroy image with a "Oh no, we gonna die" caption. A code guy walking past solved my problem in under a minute and taught me how to go into DOS and correct the issue. Which, I occasionally had to do. Not no more.

Finally, they get all atwitter with "improvements" no one in the real world gives a flying hoot about.

Hopefully, bleeping Microsoft is gonna sneak in at night with a fix.

Windows 11 or older version?

At work we were advised that windows 10 will no longer be supported after October. I opt’d to download windows 11 two months ago. It’s a little different. There is a bit of a learning curve at first but the transition was easier than going from windows 7 to windows 8!

My dinosaur computer won’t go from 10 to 11. I may tough it out till retirement, then I won’t need a desktop computer any more. I hope.
