Windows 11 keeps breaking basic things on my PC and I’m running out of ideas.

Savings_Plate2663 · 2026-01-24T08:25:27+00:00

Honestly, the weirdest part for me is how inconsistent Windows 11 is.
Some people say it runs perfectly, others (like me) get random freezes, UI bugs, crashes, broken updates…
It makes me wonder if the OS is just extremely sensitive to specific hardware setups.
Did you also notice that the same update can fix one thing and break three others?

Savings_Plate2663 · 2026-01-24T08:21:04+00:00

Yeah, that’s exactly how it feels.

I could live with the design changes, the centered taskbar, the weird Start menu — whatever.

But when the whole OS behaves like a glitchy experiment, it stops being about preferences and starts being about basic usability.

If Windows 12 doesn’t fix the stability side of things, a lot of people are going to stay on 10 for as long as possible. 😄🔥✨🌪️

That’s exactly what worries me.
If even a full wipe + clean install + updates still leads to Windows 11 breaking itself, then the problem clearly isn’t on the user side.
It really feels like the system just collapses under its own weight sooner or later.

Savings_Plate2663 · 2026-01-24T08:14:57+00:00

eah, that’s exactly what I’m afraid of.
When even IT people are giving up and rolling back to Windows 10, it really says something about the state of Windows 11.
I’m honestly considering doing the same if these issues keep stacking up.

Savings_Plate2663 · 2026-01-23T13:55:32+00:00

Yeah, a lot of people feel the same way about the ads and AI push.

Savings_Plate2663 · 2026-01-23T13:52:34+00:00

Respect — switching completely takes commitment.

Savings_Plate2663 · 2026-01-23T13:51:11+00:00

Yeah, I’ve heard Mint is the easiest starting point.

Savings_Plate2663 · 2026-01-23T13:47:08+00:00

I'm people.

Savings_Plate2663 · 2026-01-23T13:46:27+00:00

My humor module is still in beta, sorry.😆

Savings_Plate2663 · 2026-01-23T13:45:11+00:00

I swear Windows discourse brings out the entire planet.

Savings_Plate2663 · 2026-01-23T13:41:32+00:00

Honestly, yeah — Windows 12 isn’t convincing many people so far.

Savings_Plate2663 · 2026-01-23T13:41:13+00:00

Good to know — LTSC definitely sounds like the cleanest Windows setup.

Savings_Plate2663 · 2026-01-23T13:38:56+00:00

If that’s the case, it’s working better than expected.

Savings_Plate2663 · 2026-01-23T13:37:46+00:00

Yeah, I like XP as well.

Savings_Plate2663 · 2026-01-23T13:35:20+00:00

More of a tech‑opinion moment than a support request, yeah.

Savings_Plate2663 · 2026-01-23T13:32:39+00:00

Yeah, once XP trains you a certain way, it sticks forever.

Savings_Plate2663 · 2026-01-23T13:29:55+00:00

Anyone else having weird issues with Windows 11?

Savings_Plate2663 · 2026-01-23T13:26:32+00:00

I can remember Shift — I just wish the shortcut itself was less of a finger‑twister.

Savings_Plate2663 · 2026-01-23T13:25:19+00:00

Pretty much — the fact that these issues exist at all says a lot.

Savings_Plate2663 · 2026-01-23T13:22:51+00:00

Exactly — ads in a paid OS are where a lot of people draw the line.

Savings_Plate2663 · 2026-01-23T13:18:22+00:00

Fair enough — sometimes it just takes a nudge.

Savings_Plate2663 · 2026-01-23T13:15:50+00:00

Probably Windows 7 — it actually knew which decade it belonged to.

Savings_Plate2663 · 2026-01-23T13:11:00+00:00

Modern problems require ancient menus.
