Is Windows 11 as bad as people claim it is? It feels like ever since I updated, my PC is going full retard, but at this point I am not sure if it's the PC or windows. Any computer masterminds on /bant/?

They further enshittified Windows 10 too with updates. But just about everything is shitty now. Steam, all web browsers, Microsoft Office, Adobe Acrobat, all bloated like crazy. Hanging up and taking time to open simple menu folders or other actions that should be instant.

what do you intend to use the PC for, anon?
it might be a good idea to switch to linux, or maybe stay on win10 LTSC

Only upgraded from windows 10 to 11, no fresh install. And ever since then it feels like the computer takes a lot longer to even turn on, connect to the internet, the internet disconnects a lot (only on this PC) and generally it just feels slower, but maybe it is just time for a clean install, I did not do one for more than 2 years desu.

there's a chance your hard drive is also getting slower/dying, but the massive decrease in speed after installing win11 is because win11 sucks dick, not because you "need to do a clean install"

The last decent one they made was 8.1 It could run smooth and on a lean two and a half GB.

hmm
i went straight from windows 7 to 10, i had a laptop with win8 but i didn't like it
it seems like they tried to make it usable on PCs and tablets, but made something which sucked for both devices
certainly was better than win11 though lol
>a lean two and a half GB.
with linux, that gets shaved down to around 200mb, and it's absolutely usable for most things

i can't personally recommend it, but i've heard gaming on linux is now very straightforward
it used to be a pain in the ass getting some windows games to work properly, but i've heard valve itself has done a lot of work on proton (a linux compatibility layer for games)
the more competent OS itself means you should see a big boost in performance/playability, too

i think you should either switch back to win10 LTSC or pick a linux distro & start exploring that, if you mainly want to use it for gaming
both will be decent options

i don't see any reason to use/learn win11 at this point, maybe unless you had to know it for your job or a certification or something

Update your BIOS and reset your BIOS settings.
Then try to update your drivers with https://youtu.be/3zKX2qTxkjs
>Only upgraded from windows 10 to 11
Never do that. Take a few hours every year to reinstall your system because Windows is unstable as fuck. So yeah, clean install after what I mentioned above.

Add this before your install https://youtu.be/h9SpKVEc_Yo to make W11 less crappy.

this is good advice if you're intent on using win11, but there's only so much de-bloating you can do
even the new file explorer is slow & takes up like 2gb of ram
just seems like a bad idea to me, but again, this is all good advice

do you have a custom built PC or a manufacture one like Dell/HP/Lenovo?
if you have a branded PC (dell/HP) they typically have a driver updater utility software that you can use to make sure you have the latest compatible drivers
also in the windows update area (scroll down) there is an 'optional updates' area where you can update those drivers too
if that doesnt work a fresh install is recommended
the upgrade from 10-11 can do some funky things

Only have a visual novel, Firefox and Steam currently running. Edge uninstalled. W11 uses more RAM, but the overall experience feels snappier than 10 imo
Sometimes a KB would only install after the 3rd attempt... well, Windows.

i guess 8gb could be worse, for that amount of programs running
still, if OP only has 8gb-16gb of ram, probably better to just stay away from win11

I have custom built PC but I am too afraid to do those optional updates now that I googled that people had issues with them, but I might just do a clean install sometime in upcoming weeks.
>>23812337
Honestly if I do a clean install I will probably try out linux first but definitely saving those vids since I will probably fuck up with linux in some way
>>23812555
I got 32gb so maybe it really is just something acting up with my PC

Thanks guys for the advice kinda just wanted confirmation that Windows 11 is le bad like everyone said but I got more from you

i've never had an issue with the optional driver updates and I manage over 700 PC's
you can also choose to do just the networking ones if you are worried about something getting messed up
just so you can stop getting disconnected from the internet for the time being
drivers are what's in between your OS and hardware and facilitate their communication

your PC probably supports having multiple drives too
if you can afford a second SSD to dual boot linux it will be easier to wipe and start over if you mess something up and can always fallback to windows or a different install if needed
have fun troubleshooting linux ^^

it looks like it's not as bad as i thought, maybe?
if you want to try it, the advice from other anons is good

but yeah if you have 32gb of ram, that's not the problem
it could also be a weak CPU, maybe, idk how many cores you have
