@@spede1 In Microsoft foros, they're answering people asking on how to disable start menu ads that "there's not an official way to remove them", I read it myself.
They were lazy because it really is just as easy to close the wifi menu and open it again. As far as "features that obviously need to exist in Windows" goes, that's not even small fry, it's micro fry.
If this is a "Huge Update", I'd hate to see a minor one! Literally no new features, just a few minor QOL improvements (some of which are pretty good, tbh).
Quick tip you might not have known: CTRL+Shift+Left Click on CMD in taskbar will also launch an instance of CMD with Admin privileges. If you have it pinned, and get used to doing this, it becomes second nature when launching CMD that it's always in admin mode.
@@SevereMkII As far as I know, you'd have to create a shortcut to enable the feature of running as admin by default. Not a big deal on my computers, but I work on a lot of customer/family/friends computers, and rather than set that as default, for me, it was just easier to get used to using the ctrl+shift+click method.

Less hard to hate W11 ? What are you talking about ?? What about the ads in start menu, the crackdown on customization, the stricter hardware requirements, Edge being forces even when you change default browser, the cloud storing of your history (eg Notepad), AI collecting all your data, ... With every update I hate it more and more
Couldn't agree more - Now buying a PC with windows is like paying a one time fee to lease a pc in between windows updates - you have zero say in all the bull they might install in the OS - If they want you to be able to watch the inside of your smart fridge on the desktop 24/7 they'll install that 2GB program in windows 11 and you won't be able to uninstall without compromising overall functionality of win 11. If they decide they want every user to listen to howler moneys screaming every time they click their mouse, they're gonna listen to howler moneys screaming every time they click their mouse.
Got a message last update that said my my PC currently doesn't meet the minimum requirements for running Windows 11. I was so relieved after seeing that.
I heard rumors that MS is going to flip a switch that will disable all windows 10, to "force" people to move to v11. Thank goodness I am on Linux via ProxMox. I only use windows via ProxMox only when I need to for certain games and softwares. But more and more sdoftwares and games are having linux versions, thank goodness on that. Its slow process from them, but its getting there. I stopped using windows as my daily driver since windows 10 release. My daily driver is Linux.

My concern is if and when do it this way. will I continue to get all the Security updates that are needed Am a LITTLE FUZZY ON THAT POINT PLEASE HELP? thank you all!
It's likely that something in Windows changed to make those programs not work. I'm sure they will be updated by the time 24H2 is released. I don't believe Microsoft is actually blocking them.
@@CyberCPU They all work fine, you just have to rename the setup before running it to evade the block. And make sure to uninstall it before upgrading to avoid another block. The blocks just make them pop up a dialog about "This app causes security or performance issues on Windows. Check for a version that is compatible with Windows.", but only if they have the standard installer names.
One thing 24H2 will be hated for is the customising apps. The new update will disable windows from booting if any customising apps are installed, i.e. diagnostic and telemetry, etc. so good bye to privacy. Microsoft wants to know where you are and what you are doing.
If you're using tech, everybody knows where you are and what you're doing. Stop listening to the marketing from all the privacy fakes. There is no privacy.
@@no_handle_required There's literally no reason for them to invade your desktop privacy. Expecting privacy on the internet is goffy, but there's NO reason for this trash OS to call home for anything.
I despise 11 and am looking to jump on the Mint bandwagon..... I'm still on 10 and I won't budge except to leave windows altogether. I do NOT want to be "watched" and I do not want ads and they are giving me no reason to stay put! Any loyalty I had over these many decades is now in the shitter and I'm right at the edge of pressing that lever.
I downgraded to windoze-a-lemon from windows 7 only 2 months ago after completing a new pc build, this is THE WORST OS I've ever experienced. I simply can not & will not work in this crippled environment & last night I upgraded to Windows 10. YAY !!! 😁
As you know, Microsoft is not happy many users have not upgraded to Windows 11 from Windows 10. I think they are trying to improve Windows 11 to get people to upgrade.
Personally I think the same thing is going to happen with Windows 11 that happened with Windows 10. Everyone hated Windows 10 when it first came out and now that it's close to end of life everyone loves it. Someday we'll all be complaining when Windows 11 reaches end of life. If it does. I really hope Microsoft goes back to a rolling release. We will see.
@@CyberCPU I am not that great with my pc😅, so after I got used to a windows, it takes month or years, and if I get a new windows you have to start all over...I would l;ike the stick to something and just make it better witout change all the layout.
I was going to call you out on using the word "Huge" in the title because, frankly, it's mostly small changes. However! Giving us sudo could have been the only change and it would be a HUGE update IMO.
Right? I agree, they're all really small changes but they add up to a lot of really cool additions to windows that I've been waiting for for a long time. Sudo alone is one of them.
Guys, I recently found out that when you install a fresh windows, you will have to login to your Microsoft account in order to get the setup to complete and if you try to login with a local account, you will be diverted back to the start. There is a work around, but as soon as Microsoft finds it, that loophole will also be blocked. Damn, sticking to windows is getting harder and harder.
I never find anything in list menus, so different icons/colors combined with labels is actually pretty useful to me. I guess I'll finally reactivate the menu with this update! LOL! Now I only wish for all options to be there without the need to go into "more options" first. Stuff like "send to desktop" is too useful to be hidden in a secondary context menu honestly! Or at least pull an Adobe and let us personalize the tool list of the context menu, so I can pick and choose what to have in the main window and what to hide under more options.
When they quit changing my privacy setting on upgrades or updates, change settings in my bios and basically locking it out from my ability to return to default settings, does not harvest and sell my info or fail to inform me that saved files are being encrypted that I have not elected to encrypt, I might consider using these newer versions. Oh plus support of my legacy peripherals is a must, recognize drivers for equipment from XP and 7 and run DOS BOX flawlessly. I met an individual who worked for MS recently who was one of the developers for 10 & 11, they informed me that the data one encrypts that is supposed to be foolproof from prying eyes, well the US government has backdoor access to encrypted files. So if we loose our pass key the MS should be able to provide us with a way to recover our data if we can provide data to confirm our identity. That data shall be kept off of connected servers so no one can access and hack to obtain our personal data. In the EU MS has been told to not sell any private info or analytics from machines operating in the EU even while they are configured for US standards.
The fact that they refuse to unlock the taskbar for vertical users like me and somehow made mutli-window experience horrible, tells me that win11 is a OS solely to push ads and gather data for their LLMs. I think I'll try Mint Linux. If they fix the vert taskbar at least then I'll consider win11.
A reliable, safe, and constantly updated app -- "Explorer Patcher" does EXACTLY THAT. Have been using with Windows 11 (through multiple Win-11 "updates") for nearly a year. Bugfree and easy [and FREE -- though we were so grateful we sent the author $25. (HINT: change the setting in "Explorer Patcher" to "Windows 10 style taskbar." Not "rocket science.")
Dude Windows as a whole has existed for that purpose since their model switched from selling licenses, 11 is a genuine effort to make things better like it or not because they want u using it more & not converting to another OS
@@northendtrooper that’s good, I’m just saying that Windows has been about ads & data for a long time, the lack of vertical task bar isn’t proof of that, in fact they’ll add it back if they think it’ll bring enough people like u back, not that u should if ur happy with Mint tho
I still hate the lack of Start Menu icons in Windows 11. But I'm more concerned with the rumors that 24H2 will standard block off and auto-delete .exe files.
brilliant video, thank you for the comprehensive conver. the only thing i would have liked would have been some kind of benchmark or just some general stats on how de-bloated it is compared to a regular windows 11 install and potentially also it would have been nice to know how bare bones you can go, stripping things out and seeing how low the cpu utilisation can go etc
For "features": read "more adverts and bloatware on the Start Menu". 24H2 is blocking all sorts, (StartAllBack for one) and if true, 24H2 will be the version that sends me to Linux full-time.
Unfortunately Microsoft has been using the start menu for advertisements since Windows 10. Luckily it's always been a setting you can turn off. Blocking the customization apps I'm thinking is just an issue with the beta. It appears as if it's really easy to get around. All you have to do is rename the installer for the app and it installs just fine. I'm going to do some research on it and maybe do a video on it.
@@bosmankatechnically every os in existence has adverts. That being the preinstalled apps like browsers and stores. It takes a few minutes to remove every advert
My daily driver OS now is Linux. 💪 I just keep an installation of Windows in another mini-PC just in case there's a need for it which hardly ever happens. 🤪
I hear you, bro. ;) Linux equals peace of mind. 11 years of it and counting. Having a good laugh every time new Windows come out, and MacOS, for that matter. It's a bit better but still you're at their mercy.
I've learnt my lesson, just defer feature updates to the limit of 2 years. So when you finally update to the next big Windows version all the fixes and bugs should be ironed out and most of the community tweaks and fixes will also be readily available.
The "Diagnose network problems" menu option when you right-click the network icon in the system tray is not a new 24H2 function, this is also available in for example Win11 22H2.
It’s good to see sudo on windows. I think, for extra security, when enabling it from the settings, it will be good to add another option “Allow sudo to be executed from files”, which must be disabled by default. That way it will prevent random, unwanted sudo executions.
I've been trying. I'm retired and after about half an hour looking at different versions and the hoops you have to jump through to install and use I just tell myself maybe I'll just keep using 10 until none of the apps I use on it don't work any more. I will definitely not be going to 11.

Looking back, it's hard to believe that I've been using Windows for so long. I've used all versions back to Windows 1.0, when it didn't actually multi-task, and I was a blue badge at the Windows XP RTM party. I haven't loved Windows 11 and I've especially been HATING that context menu. I'm glad to see actual text come back.
I've been using Windows since Windows 3.0. I even remember when the 3.1 upgrade came out. I was at the Windows XP roadshow on September 11th 2001. I didn't find out about the terrorist attack until later that evening when I got back. Everyone at the computer store I worked at was huddled around a TV and we had no idea what was going on.

One thing is for sure - you can always count on Windows getting worse then they are now. I'm still only using a cut down "superlite" w10 version on a lappy that is a side-computer for some stuff... nothing serious.
The only reason to run Windows instead of Linux nowadays is for games, and a lot of new games at this point drop support for Windows 7. That's the only reason I upgraded to Windows 10.
I've never bought into the rumors of windows 12, it just doesn't seem likely. I mean, why would they pull out a new major update while windows 11 is still getting big updates. Plus, I'm pretty sure the windows 12 rumors started happening a little after windows 11 was released, which makes no sense.

Good. So you are finally had what Dave Ramsey would call quote I've had it quote moment Now the question you should ask yourself is quote am I just bull crapping myself or others, or am I finally ready finally have enough anger to get off my once complacent ass and do something about it and actually take steps towards moving to Linux?" If yes...sincerely.. no bs, I will be happy to help you every step of the way that I possibly can and we're talking baby steps like an intelligent saying human being should do not canning balling into the Linux ocean 1. List all the software and games whatever it is applicable that you normally deal with on a daily or weekly basis in windows. See if those same suffering games have native Linux versions. For those that don't look up cross-platform alternatives. 2. Practice using those cross-platform alternative software applications and games within windows. Once you feel perfectly confident enough that you are comfy with those new cross form Alternatives then that's over half the battle of being able to truly live comfortably in the Linux world and it's not the crazy dark Wild West that it used to be decades ago much has improved in fact many say using mini Linux operating systems is just as easy if not easier than dealing with Windows these days 3. Within Windows desktop, disable fast startup AKA quick startup AKA fast start AKA fast boot as well as the same named useless setting in your UEFI bios menu. Then properly power cycle that PC at least once boot into windows and then properly shut the PC down the normal way so that way it guarantees this idiotic useless setting does not interfere with your Hardware's ability to work full power full speed in the Linux world. 4. Unetbootin is a free software tool ideas for more than 9:00 within Windows to Prep properly a USB thumb drive with a Linux operating system to use it as installation media just searched for it it's easily found. Format any USB 3.0 or better thumb drive to fat32.... I've been using Linux Mint cinnamon since late 2010 and full-time since July 28th 2020 and it has been the most gentle and rock-solid simple stable sensible experience I have ever dealt with in the Linux world since transitioning from Windows and I highly recommend it. Thus we're going to use that as an example Visit Lenox mint.com and download Linux Mint cinnamon from anyone of the mirror sites within that main site AKA domain which you'll be downloading a ISO image file that is your installer file and that is what you can use Unetbootin to write yo thr thumb drive and make bootable easily. 5. Properly power down that PC and disconnect all drives except for that meant prepped thumb drive and the SSD you want to install Linux Mint cinnamon into. Please do not install it into the same drive that Windows already lives in. That is a beginner's mistake that so many Linux beginners make thinking they're safe dual booting and in the end it just presents a rabbit hole or a plethora of possible problems to deal with that can be avoided otherwise by keeping Linux and windows on separate ssds. Plug in your mint thumb drive and connect only that Target SSD, power on the system and boot into that thumb drive. Note, there's a reasonable chance in your boot device options if you have to revisit that to select to boot to the thumb drive that it may say something like quote Ubuntu quote and that's normal because Linux Mint and Ubuntu use the same bootloader 6. Once you will see eventually a black background screen with options at the top select the very top option which is simply Linux Mint cinnamon. Now if you have an Nvidia graphics card, and you go through that top option and you find out your booty to a black screen you may have to start over reboot back to that black background screen and select the compatibility mode option. Once you reach a graphical mint desktop a few chunk of seconds later there will be an obvious icon towards the top left area launch it don't do anything out of the ordinary don't worry about lvm or encryption we want to keep things simple. The installation process is very self-explanatory and actually easier than Windows you will find. And you can tell it to Auto login if you want. At the end of the installation wizard you'll be told and option of either continue testing or restart or reboot now. If you select reboot now it should present you with a message on screen eventually that says remove installation media and press enter to reboot. If you do not see that message for whatever reason go through the whole process again and this time select continue testing then you can easily just like you can in Windows use gooey buttons to shut Down AKA power off that pc. Wait until it's fully shut down and you can remove the thumb drive then power it back on 7. After you have successfully booted back into a graphical Mint desktop, now you can properly shut it down again and reconnect your windows drive and now you have a true safe enough but still dual booting Operating Systems computer in which will let you easily switch back and forth from Windows and Linux Mint and Linux Mint to Windows as needed because you're not going to learn the way Linux Works overnight remember you didn't learn how Windows worked overnight or even over the course of a single week either so make sure you give yourself the same patience and Linux Mint Cinnamon the same respect and patience for a decent bit. It's not hurting anything to have Linux Mint installed on a separate drive that you hardly ever boot into if it takes you awhile to become comfortable and learn how it works. And there is no shame in that baby steps matter because they are still steps it is still progress and that's how I did it Sorry for the long-winded comment but I just wanted to be forthcoming and generous and helpful and if you need any further help feel welcome to reach out to me I am also on forums. Linux mint.com and there are easily a dozen or more people I see on their daily who are far more experienced and knowledgeable than I am such as smg, Rene, xenopeek, moem, sleeper12, all41, AndyMH ( head Foxclone dev...whose software I HIGHLY recommend you use for system image backups ans drive clones) Pjotr, and many more.

Wish microsoft would update the "hide taskbar", currently it's sluggish and it appears to have a lower than 60fps animation and worse, it's a linear animation. Considering we're seeing a rise of OLED and small handheld windows devices I just don't understand why this feature is not even considered for an upgrade. Simply, better animations..
LABELED BUTTONS for ctrl+x/ctrl+c/F2 and Del? REVOLUTIONARY! So is the taskbar movable, the start button separable from the centered taskbar icons to stay in the corner, AND the start menu icon list tiling again AND the right-click menu OPTIONALLY condensed? If the answer is a no to any of those, I'm not switching from 10, because I don't think I typed into the start menu or used any of the "basic" right click menu options even once in at least two years...
Unfortunately that doesn't work. You can still install Windows 11 without secure boot. Your system just has to be capable of using secure boot. It doesn't have to be enabled. A better way would be disabling TPM.
I'm sorry to break this to you but whether or not you have secure Boot and enabled makes no difference if Windows 10 is installed and your booted from it and you're connecting online for any reasonable amount of time any day of the week.

My daughters PC downgraded to winblowz 11 a few weeks ago and I noticed it a day or so later and was like NOPE!!!!, reverted it to winblowz 10. The thing is I'd swear I had the registry setting sin place to stop the downgrade, but it did it anyway. The reason why we're FORCED to take 10 and 11 is because of the egg they got on their face with 8 and 8.1 where no one wanted to get PCs with them and stayed on Windows 7. They pulled some strong-arm tactics and forced hardware manufacturers to no longer make drivers for anything prior to 10 for new hardware. Up until that point, there was a bunch of new and reasonably recent hardware that you could still get win2000 and winXP drivers for!
One thing that's missing that i would like to see in either win 11 or 12 is support for external GPUs. I mean with AI and now super resolution we need the ability to run these massive programs on laptops

Windows 10 was supposed to be the last version of Windows but then there was a management change and the new guy decided to change that. He doesn't work there anymore so it is likely that Windows 11, which is still Windows 10 by the way, is the last version.

If the start menu cannot be configured to actually be usable like Windows 10 or Windows 7 without buying some add-on, then I still am moving away from Windows before Windows 11 becomes the only option of supported Windows.
Hardware requirement was a big bummer. I hope when Windows 12 comes out that they don't do that again. Hope my oldest 9th gen system will continue to work because I now use it for MAME and emulation. I heard that it will reject third party customization programs. Their have already been complaints.

It seems like MS gets an OS like 7 and then 10 to a really great spot and gets most of all the kinks out and then dumps another OS on our laps....You're 100% right on MS's business model though, they're more like a secret ad agency and would much rather support 1 mega OS then release a brand new one every couple of years.

No, the last good version of Windows is 7. Microsoft introduced shit like advertisements on the lock screen and the start menu in Windows 10. You are just choosing to ignore all the horrible things about the OS. The "every other Windows is good" trend haa been broken.

It goes both ways. In fact, did you know Microsoft is the biggest contributor to open source software in the world? They give more time and money to open source projects than any other source. They even allow employees to work on open source projects on company time. That was one of Microsoft's main reasons for buying GitHub. Lots of people were very worried when Microsoft purchased GitHub that they were going to somehow destroy it but they've actually ended up making it far better than it ever was before. Because now it's backed by a multi-billion dollar company with endless resources.

That'll be the market share up to what, 4% after what, 30 odd years? I suppose it's the plethora of distros and whatever that make Linux such a simple option. I've always wondered tho', why users of the great Linux spend so much time on Windows articles?
@@cadelepski5161 Linux is great, but also not perfect, just like every other OS & I like to watch Windows News, I want to be up2date, I don't hate Windows, I'm just not happy with some of the descisions and the ppl behind it. So yea I'm watching news about Win, Linux and Mac! And sometimes even BSD.
I'm happy about Windows on ARM. It used to be that Windows (NT) ran on multiple CPU architectures, including DEC Alpha, MIPS, PowerPC, and IA-64 (Itanium) architectures. I wish at least one of those would have been maintained. Adding ARM support to Windows is a great thing. Now, we just need the ARM infrastructure expanded to meet our needs, and maybe we might even get to get off of X86.
x86 isn't going anywhere. You don't think intel and amd isn't aware of what has been going on? if anything, this will only bring competition and that is a good thing for consumers. One thing arm has going for right now is battery life but overall we just have to see. I doubt arm will be replacing your pc gaming rig anytime soon though. In fact, pc gamers laughs at arm at the moment lol. That being said; i wouldn't mind getting an arm system if linux mint makes an arm version of its os.
@@mariojpalomares2514 ARM is just a architecture. It doesn't lend toward one use or another. The reason current ARM chips do better with battery life is because they're using chips engineered toward tablet and phone use. There also happen to be server level chips that have just as high energy usage as AMD's Epyc, and have about the same performance level as the Epyc (though they have to do it with lower clocks and more cores.) ARM could very well replace x86 for gaming CPU, and likely do it better because they don't have the inefficiencies inherent to the old x86 instructions that have to be supported in today's chips. What I hope to see soon is something I can get for home training for hypervisors on ARM so I can be prepared for the what's coming in my career. I'm a self trained sysadmin, and want to see more server use for ARM. I know it is well suited for it, much better than x86.
lol I even pull the tpu2 chip off of my motherboard just to stay out of Windows 11 I also gutted Windows 10 Pro with PowerShell just to keep it a clean OS.
It is always rolling code. Different branches of editions existing through time. Bolting on new features or removing old code. Windows 9 was a beta, and no-one noticed- except for insiders. ARM and Linux/Android support is the future- one operating system to rule them all.
I'm disappointed in myself for only now finding out that End Task feature exists. The amount crashed games that could have closed instead of having to restart my PC.
I’m told 24H2 will remove WMR which is critical for many expensive VR headsets (HP G2 for example). Without WMR, all these headsets will be bricked unless a fix is offered by Windows.
Before you go Linux, try a couple of different distros. It's easy, just have an extra/external drive available for it. I've been on Debian for 11 years now. Perfect. Used Windows since 3.11... Windows 8 persuaded me to go Linux. Then I saw 8.1, 10, 11... they look just the way I thought - less and less user control. I hate not having control over my OS.
@@GIRGHGH Stop Windows Update service. It's not exactly a great idea as Windows is the most targeted OS for hackers, but it's the only way to stop Microsoft from hosing your system. You can still download and update with critical updates, though, but manually.
It’s a free download and I’m not rich. If you buy the cheapest prebuilt it’s still on there simply by the fact companies don’t sell pre builds with parts from 5 years ago.
Apparently, Microsoft is forcing drive encryption which will just lead to data loss. Because it's a hassle to keep an encryption key to unlock your data so you can get it back. They need an option to turn it off in setup, not force it on you. Encryption can also get corrupted which means even if you have a key to unlock it, you won't be able to get your data back at all!
it would be nice if microsoft finally removed the new os hardware and microsoft account requirements for installing windows, without having to go out of the way to bypass them. They're obviously ideological requirements to create more e-waste and sell more new licenses, and nothing to do with real functionality. I totally agree with you on the right click context menu. especially on smaller screens, why they moved text for the most commonly used copy/cut/paste when they saved no screen real-estate in doing so has always amazed and annoyed me.
My biggest wish is that they’d fix ‘wake on lan’ or even ‘wake on wireless lan’. The first works in theory but not really. The second is an impossible dream.
Removing the huge spacing everyway would help the context menus too. It is sill beyond silly that the touch friendly UI is still foisted on none touch machines.
