[quote who="Jafo" reply="82" id="3832710"] Quoting PhoenixRising1, reply 81 The whole conversation was a bit of flame bait to be fair. It is still fun to debate though, at least for me. Hopefully, the topic isnt as sacred as religion and politics are to some. Things may have got heated at points, but hopefully we can all t

[quote who="albins04" reply="29" id="3832581"] Hello, I tested windows 11 and I can boldly say that I am still using windows 10 because windows 11 looks artificial and there is no such climate for me, but unfortunately in 3 years we will all have to have it [/quote] Windows 11 will and does divide peeps as i am sure earlier OSs did going back years, but as you have said most of us will move to it in 3 years, hopefully when WB11 is ready, you can at least make it look and fee
[quote who="Jafo" reply="68" id="3832609"] Oh, please. If you think my phrase "the price" means I was ignorant of the fact it was a free upgrade? The problem of new members joining a site is a poor presumption they know more than anyone else. You don't. 'THE PRICE'. It was zero cost. You pay elsewhere. Nothing comes freely without strings attached . The TRULY ignorant think there are no strings. What happe
PhoenixRising1 "I love the way you are willing to dive into new technology without fear. We definitely need people like that. Obviously Windows 11 is not perfect but if you listen to people on just this forum alone you will have a pretty good roadmap on how to fine tune it and make it into a really good OS." Always been this type of person my friend, i like to do things others say i shouldn't as i like to walk my own path and make decisions and commitments based on those exper

I thought using Start11 and StartAllBack, would cause conflicts as they are both trying to re create a familiar Start menu from earlier Operating Systems, it sounds like they are both trying to do the same thing but in a slightly alternate way causing what you are seeing. I am using both on a multi booting system, one SSD with <span style="backgro
So, how many times have you actually used Windows 11 jafo, or will this be your first time. I am very surprised you are even bothering after your opinions in this Topic, i thought your mind was already made up, for you to say " so i can see first hand" makes me think you have never used it. Gave up waiting for the Sata III cables to arrive so picked up a couple in town today, at least now i can have 3 SSDs and the Blu-ray Writer fully up and running a multi boot
Still waiting for some new cables to arrive, but right now i am running 3 SSDs on my Rig, the first is my main go to SSD with the latest Build Win 11 Enterprise (local account with as much as i need removed from spying), the second is my Win 10 SSD with WB10 (same as above) and the third is my Experimental SSD on which i did all the testing of ExplorerPatcher settings, then changed this to a MSI Dragon Gaming Theme (Black and Vivid Red) with a clean Image of Win 11 Ent, also a local account w
Wow Jafo "No need to paint me as an opinionated fool" I painted you as nothing and just used some of your words which speak volumes by themselves. I get it, you hate Windows 11 for your own reasons which are still opinions, we are all entitled to those as long as we do not break the rules in expressing them, your attempt to Flame me and draw me into a slanging match will fail, do not have a pop at me and then make the huge assumption I am Painting you as opinionated fool
That is a Huge statement jafo about peeps not functioning in the modern world without the Windows OS and is just your opinion of which i am sure Millions would disagree with you, if the Windows OS never existed the world would function just fine as other systems will and would fill the gap, but if windows never existed, there would be no gap to fill and we all would have something else in it's place.

There will always be backdoors created by MS, and there will always be free tools out there to close these doors(if a person does not understand how to do this for themselves), a whole new sub section has been created by MS by removing the older start menu , even Stardock is in on the act with Start 10 and 11. Microsoft will always make an Operating System how they think it should be, even if there customers "US" disagrees , and in that, software companies who do listen will keep pushing out
Here is one of mine as right now i am running 3 SSDs, this is my Tron Legacy on Win 11
This is not a new thing, MS has been doing it for years but we are never going to see the line "Window 8/10/11 The Best OS Yet, Just Ignore all the Spying" Peeps like us expect the Spying and third party access to grow with each New OS, so we take steps to prevent it, is it right Hell NO, but if we want to use Windows for free we deal with it and close down those backdoors. I am sure many of us as Techy people help others, family and friends, so our job is to spr
Agree with you PhoenixRising1. MS has for a long time tried to increase the info they can skim from a users Operating System, and i too realised a long while ago not to use a Microsoft account when installing a fresh Windows 7/8/8.1/10/ and now 11, maybe this is why i have no problem migrating to Win 11.MS are trying to make it harder during the initial set up of Win 11, trying to steer you to include a MS id or account, but for all the ways the try to spy on you,
Very sorry for your loss Blindwatcher .
If you decide to use a dedicated program like Winrar for future zip archives, remember to keep it updated as content compressed with newer editions of the program require you to use updated editions to work correctly, just a tip.
Windows 11 for me has been just fine allowing me to use plenty of my Software i used in older Windows Editions with no problems except Windowblinds as that does not work without using ExplorerPatcher. There are always plenty of free programs around which remove all the bloatware and close down all the MS loopholes that this thread refers too, and there has been such programs since Late Windows 7, now they are just much better matching removing the new stuff we do not and should

Robert84MK You must have missed my previous comments. I have to use Windows 11 as i need to understand the Operating System so i can offer support for my IT job, and in that, i have no choice. I do now have multiple SSDs so at least now i do have A Windows 10 SSD with WB10 Still working A Windows 11 SSD using WB 10 using the Explorer Patcher to make it work 95% A Windows 11 SSD using UXThemePatcher with Tron Legacy Theme Installed A Windows
Maybe i am like you PhoenixRising1 in wanting Win 11 to be as customized as possible, but to be honest i was like that with other Editions of windows. I came to Windowblinds back in the old XP days and was blown away with what it can do, still am, maybe that is why i started talking in this thread, i honestly thought WB11 would be right behind Start11 and was a bit shocked to read how long off it would be, that is why i had to for
Tell me about it PhoenixRising1 , after what seems like a lifetime of Soldiering in some terrible places and being one of the oldest mature students in University (Did my masters Degree in my late 30s) i can testify to the younger peeps getting a good head start with all things IT, we just never had those things. I am sure when we do get WB11 , it will set us up for several years at least, or hope so depending how many future changes MS like to do to the current Wi
Well done one and all for making the rank.
Thankyou don5318, we just hope to add to the bigger picture enabling a speedy release of WB 11, as that is what we all want. I too am a Guy in my later years and can still show the young un's a thing or two as IT is my passion, a bit slower maybe, but i think experience is everything.
I agree with PhoenixRising1 and as there is no WB11 right now, some of us are actually doing something that may help out the peeps who will create WB11 by showing screenshots that present some early possible issues that will when taken in the bigger picture all help towards Planning the next Windowblinds, that to me is still on topic. The company have told us numerous times about the possible problems in planning a new WB11, what we are doing (spending untold hours going through se
