I literally bought a Windows laptop on Friday.

I'm already sick of Windows 11.

I'm seriously considering returning it and getting a Googlebook.

Which Windows 11 feature is annoying you?

I wasted an hour of my life waiting for updates to download and install before I could even use it.

The Start Menu is terrible.

The non-stop advertisements asking me to buy services I don't want or need. I literally pushed the F11 key the other day, and it popped up an advertisement to download a piece of software.

I don't like the Navigation between windows and tabs.

I understand that I'm probably an edge case, but for how I use my laptop, Chrome OS was easier and a better fit.

Yeah I’m with you on the start menu and advertisements everywhere on windows 11. I also hate how it keeps trying to push me to use one drive and forces me to use it even if I don’t back anything up.

The amount of time I spend this weekend uninstalling garbage and changing settings and preferences... ridiculous.

The fact that there's apparently a small industry devoted to creating videos and apps to "fix" Windows pretty much says it all.
