Oh damn, yeah. That is shit.
I wonder how this kludge might factor into adoption-
Microsoft also wrote that Microsoft Defender Antivirus in Windows 10 would continue to get new definitions updates through at least October 2028.
Microsoft would rather people move to Windows 11 rather than paying for ESUs – the announcement post is called ‘How to prepare for Windows 10 end of support by moving to Windows 11.’ It goes into detail about the benefits of Windows 11 and how to check if your PC can run the latest version.
Those hardware demands are one of the big reasons why Windows 11 adoption has been slow. The OS’ requirements include support for TPM 2.0 security chips, meaning it can’t run on older machines. There are workarounds, of course, such as the recent Flyby11 tool that bypasses these restrictions.
I don’t think this would have performance consequences necessarily… but I’ll wait for field reports.
Would be interesting to know if it would be in a gray area or verboten based on explicit HIPAA requirements.
i dunno why people have a nightmare of a time with win11.
zero issues here

No problems here either. Windows 10 was a motherfucker, though, when it was released!
You know they’re listening, don’t you…

Different needs, different expectations, I also do some public tech advocacy that requires me to walk non-techies through scenarios which have a lot of different paths and the UI decay has never been resolved as the computer becomes an advertising/telemetry hub.
Which, telemetry could be fine (I think people got a little too butthurt over Audacity collecting feature usage metrics, but that’s not as surprising with the FOSS scene) but am not happy with Microsoft or Google collecting granular OS data unscrubbed, un-aggregated while they’re selling my “advertising profile” to anyone who wants it. I also don’t want their Windows “CoPilot” (not the same as corporate/VS feature) pushed into scanning my drives either.
I don’t like being unable to disable things, and I’m mad that basic functionality still sucks within the OS, Explorer has gotten nearly useless compared to earlier 10.
Tech and server aspects are fine, Powershell, Mono (.NET) ports of microservices to Linux containers, it’s just the consumer focus that shits the bed.
I can use most anything to solve a problem, but the OS has existed mostly outside of concerns for who actually use it for a while now, since there’s really no internal voices at MSFT that seem to have any sway over the quality stability of the whole.
ffffuuuuuu

Does it make me a bad person that I read that as:
“Fuck that shit! Pabst Blue Ribbon!”

This explains why you are using periods to end sentences in recent posts, instead of exclamation marks.

Try tackling some of broken Britain’s fucking potholes in a Nissan Micra at 70 mph round a tight country road in the snow, see how you get on…
Fucking potholes…
