Windows 11 Support Thread

Formatted the disk and installed Mint. Did not have to install any Drivers or anything. Finally had enough of Win 11 telemetry and bs.

Linux works way better than that shyteshow Win 11.
 

Windows 11 version 24H2 is basically Windows 12, and here's why - XDA​

Windows 11 version 24H2 is a very interesting update. Of course, it's the big annual update for Windows 11 this year, but it's also more than that.

Prior to it being officially announced, we thought for a while this would be Windows 12, but Microsoft seemingly changed its internal plans at some point and decided to label it as an update to Windows 11.

But in the end, I'd argue this is still very much Windows 12 — it's just disguised as an update. Here's why.

I'll wait until there's a last major update (like 22H2 for Win10 for example) before switching to Win11.

Why? Ignore the Henny Pennys and Chicken Littles, W11 is better than W10. Most problems wailed about are PEBCAK.

I'm cautious by nature and old-fashioned. Still wear khakhi shorts + socks and sandals.

My secure box runs Linux Mint. Main box (gaming/kakpraat) is Win10.

Will probably switch over to MacOS before then anyway.

I got nothing bad to say about MacOS. It's excellent for content creators/visual artists and those sort.
Only issue is the price. If it was lower I'd get a Mac tomorrow.
 
Anyone got a weird issue like this?

When I open Word and I click open then click browse the application freezes.

This happens to every app that has this function. Word/Excel/Adobe.

Check for any updates - Windows / MS Office / Adobe - and see if that resolves the problem.

For MS Office, open any app - I usually use Excel - click the File tab, then click on Account (You may have to click 'More...' to get to Account, depending on your screen resolution / zoom settings) - then click the Update Options icon - then Update Now.

If there are updates to be downloaded, once they start downloading, then close ALL your MS Office apps so that the updates can install successfully.

Nope, works my side.

I actually NEVER open files that way :giggle: ... I go to where the file is save on PC/network and click on it to open with the program it's linked to.
