Enough of Windows 11 and its sluggish performance. Back to Windows 10.

That's the problem. Every time I download the latest AMD driver from AMD's website, Windows 11 replaces it again with its own Microsoft version when it does Windows updates. I can't find any way of stopping it from doing that. It's annoying. Any suggestions?

Turn off WU driver updates. You can use Winaero Tweaker.

When people say that Windows 11 runs slower than Windows 10, what do they mean?  I have updated my Windows 10 machine to Windows 11 just for a couple of weeks to have another nose and I find it runs a bit smoother than Windows 10, maybe because the UI is so cut down. Shrinking and expanding windows is smoother, not sure if it is faster. Can you really tell?
Moving windows about is smoother on Windows 11 and so far file explorer have not crashed.

Software works the same on Windows 11 as it does on Windows 10

Computer specs.

Ryzen 7 1700

Radeon rx5700

47GB of ram

Corsair MP510 NVMe SSD as the boot drive.

Yes, the machine is not supported, but I updated it using Rufus to make the USB install.

Saying all the above, there are things don't like about Windows 11 and I will be going back to Windows 10 at the end of the week.

 


 

The problem for me is that Windows 11 should be faster than Win10 given I have a 12th gen processor and DDR5 memory, all the stuff that is meant to make Windows 11 pop (ie. thread director), but it isn't.

It is ugly (to me), I don't feel like I can customise it to my liking, there are extra clicks to do stuff I do every day.. It should be fantastic, but it isn't. If there is a speed difference, I don't notice, so I will just use what works for me.

What are the specs of your laptop? It sounds like you’re using a HDD. At least swapping to SSD will make a noticeable improvement.

    • I have updated my Series 9 Watch so I assume there is either a mistake in what was said, or as suggested - the new AI feature set isn’t supported on anything other than those listed above.
    • WhatsApp slams Isreali firm, NSO Group, for trying to spy on its users by David Uzondu WhatsApp has come out accusing Israeli cyber-intelligence firm, NSO Group, of deploying a fresh wave of highly targeted "spear phishing" attacks against users, which its security teams successfully thwarted. The Israeli firm, according to WhatsApp, ran this operation like its usual one-click phishing campaigns, trying to get people to click malicious links that lead them to external sites. To coordinate the campaign, the spyware vendor created fake test accounts and groups on the messaging app. WhatsApp said it is sharing the specific malicious domains, ikhwancast[.]com, ghazacast[.]com, and fr24cast[.]com, because potential victims need this data to check if they were targeted across other messaging systems or email platforms. The NSO Group is infamous for creating and selling Pegasus, a military-grade commercial spyware capable of silently compromising smartphones simply by sending a message or placing a missed call via apps like WhatsApp or iMessage. Users do not even have to interact with the incoming notification before the infection takes hold. Once Pegasus manages to break in, the spyware harvests private data, letting operators read private messages, emails, photos, and documents. It also tracks precise GPS locations, records keystrokes, activates the device's camera, and monitors live microphone audio. Independent investigations by cybersecurity watchdogs like The Citizen Lab and human rights organizations like Amnesty International have proven that governments use this software to track humanitarian workers, journalists, diplomats, and political dissidents. These findings directly contradict NSO Group claims that clients use the technology to spy on criminals and terrorists only. In late 2021, the U.S. Department of Commerce added the firm to its Entity List, effectively banning the vendor from buying hardware and software from American tech companies. WhatsApp said in its blog post that the spyware vendor violated a permanent court injunction with this new spear-phishing campaign. This injunction, which took effect in 2025, strictly prohibited NSO Group from targeting WhatsApp and its users. The platform is now asking a federal court to hold the firm in contempt.
    • It would be surprising if even 3 year old Apple Watches (and not SE models at that) cannot run watchOS 27. Granted, it doesn't mean it would work as well. We'll see.
