Was just in the middle of doing something and was interrupted by a dialogue for Security Update KB5094126 ignoring all my policies and even my active hours... and telling me the update is going to be installed at 15:05 whether I like it or not (essentially). Absolutely unacceptable even if it is (or may be) a critical update.

Angry bug hunter with Microsoft beef drops new Windows 0-day
Revenge is a dish best served code
More zero days released by our favourite MS vigilante if you can even call him that. Released right after MS June updates. Proving he has more in the bag.

But it's just the start menu, surely they shouldn't need to ramp a CPU core up to 100% just to open a start menu?
What's next upscaling and fake frames to make the start menu quicker?
Run all cores at 100% so your right-click menu open 0.02 seconds faster?
There's not even an easy way to disable the LLP stuff...
There is nothing in the existing Windows 11 Start Menu as well which couldn't be done with plain old C and probably run 1000x faster with like 5% CPU utilisation 
Some of what he is saying about MS's conduct is so true - the developers actively attempt to hide from public opinion and feedback - even getting rid of people on the old support forums who tried to act as a go between to get attention for high profile issues and have several times ridiculed people who raised issues...

Ohh I know I have been there when raising issues and serious security issues. This is why I am following this stuff like a hawk.There is nothing in the existing Windows 11 Start Menu as well which couldn't be done with plain old C and probably run 1000x faster with like 5% CPU utilisation

To add to it AMD was one that behaved with me in the past that way on their Radeon forums and banned me there and other people reporting issues with proof. And today I see this video of all things AMD again.. I personally have had many issues reporting stuff in the past to many of these companies AMD, Intel, Cisco, Microsoft, Seagate, western digital, Logitech etc these are ones I remember that caused me serious issues to the point I gave up reporting stuff as all that happened was it caused me headaches. The funny excuse I would get is it's not a bug or issue but a few days or weeks later gets silently fixed in some patch or update..
I think a lot of us have been there with such reporting trying to do the right thing then getting slapped in the face or ridiculed.. And banned from their forums or customer facing help areas where customers communicate.

So yeah had some major scenes with the latest Update stream. From now on my Windows Updates are paused for at least 5 weeks when new updates come out and I have set to never get them as soon as they are available.
System Restore saved me this time round.

I'm currently using Windows 10 and considering upgrading to Windows 11. I'd like to hear from people who have made the switch.
What have you found to be the main advantages and disadvantages of Windows 11 compared with Windows 10?
Have you noticed any improvements in performance, security, gaming, or everyday use? Conversely, have you experienced any compatibility issues, bugs, or features you miss from Windows 10?
Also, if you had the choice again, would you upgrade, or would you stay with Windows 10 for now?
Thanks for sharing your experiences and advice.

There's basically no difference. Except one is end of life.
11 is more annoying and gets in the way of productivity "out of the box", but you can revert that yourself with the registry or other tweaks.
Noticed no difference otherwise. I wouldn't have changed and would prefer 10 given a chance, except for 11 being free and the security updates.

Whelp - just turned on a system which hasn't been used for 153 days and checked for updates... and there is 35 Windows Updates for it
EDIT: To be fair, though it is a fairly powerful system, they've all now been done aside from one in ~24 minutes without so far any problems.

I just did a clean install and have a long list of updates, mostly something called “Advanced Micro Devices system” have a load of these all different versions.
And I’ve updated my chipset and onboard video drivers to latest version direct from MSI for my board.
Are these optional?
It’s confusing as hell, I really hate windows update!

Anyone used point in time restore yet? A new feature revamped from the old skool System restore:

I prefer system restore because it does not touch personal files, only restores the system and apps. I used SR most recently after a botched Windows update tanked all USB at logon and was able to restore back to a point a week or so prior to that update. Would have been super annoying if it also restored personal files and wiped newer files since then.
I will stick to old system restore, it works exactly as I need.
Forget System Restore — this new Windows 11 feature is a much better safety net
It could save your PC.
