Windows 11 – There's still nothing worth my time

Short review of Windows 11 following December 2024 patching, including fast updates, unchanged privacy configuration, extremely slow Windows Explorer with no option to disable the modern interface, numerous ergonomic and aesthetic problems, declining market share of the operating system, contraditions and non sequiturs in TPM requirements, various quicks, other observations, and more

Windows 11 is useless, the file manager is slow, Settings is not as good as Control Panel, and hardware requirements prevent people from "upgrading". If there was one good thing about the 2020-2021 period, it's that it taught people to be more frugal with their electronics spending, as apparently even OLD laptops can send emails and show useless Powerpoint presentations just as well as brand new ones. Windows 11 remains useless, the new tabbed Explorer fails its most basic of tests, the system is still rife with nonsense and pointless features, and there's nothing redeeming about it.
