This. Was hoping when Windows Terminal came around with tabs that they will finally start working on that. Even if it's like an explorer replacement on github at first with it build into a release in the future. But guess this stuff people have been asking for since forever isn't going to happen

During initial setup, there needs to be an option:
( ) Install touch features.
(X) Do not install any touch features.
there should not even be that kind of f* options in the installation !!!!!!
Yes it's like communism. Everyone is same. Why has to be the same os interface for both pcs and handheld devices. Maybe someone likes this. I get irritated of the big ugly icons, half screen menus, funy bulky start menu, head bar filled with "common" large previewing icons instead of menu bars as it is made for 5 year olds. I guess I am a retro grumpy old guy who doesn't like flashy icons doing a flip and roll before opening an app, like a dog goes around in circles 3 times before laying down. I should appreciate that it tries to entertain while it opens a document or so.
During install there should be an option to install linux instead.

The part that kills me (and my workflow) is the 7zip and folder icon changes. I deal with zipping and unzipping folders all day long, so adding more steps to it will add so much more time. And the rounded corners just worry me. I like the squared look, rounded edges just don't seem to make sense for me with rectangular monitors.
The double menu, new more options is annoying as fuck. It’s bad enough with their convoluted settings menus that still dont even have close to the legacy options even after how many years since the release of 10? 10 years or something.
I'm glad we use MacOS in our office environment.
Haters, come at me...
@@D3NM0NT3UR I hate to use Mac, but I feel like it's a great choice for office work. It's more secure in various ways. If you're dealing with medical records that is especially important.
@@frogressive-rockFunnily enough literally every hospital I’ve worked at uses windows
Not saying that you’re wrong, it’s just interesting
Still absolutely hate that it requires you to click the "show more options" in the context menu, rather then making it configurable.
I think some of the smaller things like that WILL end up toggleable eventually
Or at least some nice, lightweight configurator will come along and fix it all for us.
I've heard that's for technical reasons: The "show more options" shows the old legacy UI, that uses old internal APIs, they replaced them by new APIs for apps to integrate into the context menu, we just need to wait for developers to catch up
its a classic reskin in process. When we re skin any feature, we always put a show more button to show the old ui so none of the other testing gets disturbed. It will get removed when all the features are implemented in the reskin and the supervisor has cleared it as bug free.
It is configurable, unfortunately it requires the application developers to use the new context menu APIs to add them in, but it is coming.
This is probably my #1 gripe that will prevent me from upgrading. Then again, none of my gripes with 10 were ever addressed, so I'll continue to use 7.
The fact theyve hidden some of my most used right click options (rename, winrar, 7zip) behind another click infuriates me on a level I did now know I had in me. For real this feels like minimalism for the sake of minimalism and is why I hate modern design
The new contex menu uses a new API. You need the dev to implement their apps to the new contex menu that's why Microsoft still provide "show more" option so some legacy app still can be accessible until they move to the new API.
And Rename is in the new contex menu. It's between copy and delete button.
@@Yaqins oh they must have updated it from when I last used my laptop with the beta on it. Glad they didn't keep that
@@ScrungleGaming Why use the context menu to rename files? It's on F2

This is the first time I’ve owned a computer during a windows update cycle, and I can say that this is so frustrating. So much stuff I’ve gotten used to is now gone or hidden behind some setting
Just think about us who's been using windows since 3.x
Welcome to Microsoft I think there are working some real sadistic people in the company. 😅
One well done video. Anthony you are great at keeping things easy to follow and you explained so much more in the same time most of the other reviewers do. And your controlled and professional delivery are a joy. Thank you!
The "see more" menu pretty much sums up what i HATE about the Windows user experience. They never include everything in their new-fangled apps and menus so they have to send you to the older implementation that it was supposed to replace. It just breaks whatever illusion of seamlessness you may have had.
Yeah. Whenever they're "reworking" something they just add a new thing instead of actually overhauling the old one, and the new thing is then just incomplete enough that you have to keep going to the old one.
11 looks like more of the same of what 10 is. A mishmash of new "user friendly" glossy UI but all the advanced customization features are hidden away under the old W7 menus. They're trying to idiot proof the OS with big shiny buttons but they don't update the complex features to the new design. It's just tacked on. That's why Control Panel still exists despite the whole PC settings menu being designed to replace it. If Microsoft wants a new OS they should just build it from the ground up instead of trying to improve/change things. Every update that brings new features seems to break something that then requires a workaround to fix.
@@scopie49 That’s sort of an unfair characterization. If you look at the settings app vs the control panel, features have been steadily migrated from the control panel to the Settings app with every release. Windows 11 has moved a large chunk of them as well. In practice, Settings has gone from an app I totally ignored to one that can handle the majority of my configuration tasks.
It’s been a clumsy process, but I don’t think there was a better option. “Start from the ground up” is an obvious non-starter; that would require an insane amount of development effort and it would be a bug-ridden mess. This is a game that Microsoft has played for decades: picking and choosing where to spend their development hours. Sometimes they choose well, other times not so much, but I think this time they’ve made the right calls.
This. I hated the new windows settings when they introduced it. I just cannot seem to find whatever I want hidden behind those tiles and the confusing menu structure and I constantly found myself going back to the oldschool control panel. I understand that they want to make it look less cluttered but as a result, every of those handful of tiles now has so much content and options hidden behind them that it's really not intuitive at all where you need to go to find whatever setting you are looking for. The old system might have been ugly but at least you had a good and accessible overview of everything.
So many of those new design choices feel like they're made with phones and tablets in mind to create a more unified experience across devices like the completely useless launchpad that Apple introduced for MacOS a while ago.
The end result is far too often something that is just not as good as it used to be for a mouse-and-keyboard input style.
@@christianseibold3369 I mean technically every OS begins from nothing. I just mean at this point they need to decide what the hell they want Windows to be at a base level and build EVERYTHING on top of it rather than this backwards compatibility that extends 20 years.
Changing the right cluck menu and hiding the older one under advanced is probably my most hated thing.
fr like just reskin the original, add the buttons of the features and leave it as is
I think you can fix it with a registry edit

6:40 COMPACT VIEW, THANK YOU SO MUCH I NEEDED THIS
Hello guys. Just adding my two cents. So custom widgets / notification services are certainly possible but this is on a per-app basis, an app generally requests to show on the side pane. I love the in-depth, unbiased views. It is great to see you run through fairly standard requirements of a PC and check they are working correctly. The 7Zip issue is deffs annoying
Binary in the intro: "this is Windows 3"
Thank you good sir
Up u go
I came to the comment section for this. Thx
Indeed, checked myself
Yep, but why? ;)
Windows is like your local grocery store. Once you learn everything it has, everything gets reorganized and things you liked get replaced with things you don't
Best explanation I've heard yet. So true. Guess that's why I don't care for any Windows version past 8.1
You are absolutely right, the issue is that this way of doing 'upgrades' has diffused into most Linux realm!
And in the world of browsers, where each time defaults are changing because otherwise it does not look new!!
Best analogy, describing it perfectly.
@@COPKALA true that
Firefox has been getting in my nerves sending costant UI deafult value changes in supposedly security updates, instead of adding a new default skin that can be reverted for those who choose so
@@rickh8380 did you forget vista? that piece of glorious shit?
A few big cons about windows 11 for me would be, you currently can't change the taskbar size, and when you have the taskbar set to auto hide it sometimes doesn't work or pop up when you mouse over it. Hopefully these things would be fixed when more people start using windows 11.
Great review mate, lots of very useful points made. I learnt a lot, thanks. Keep up the great work.
1:48 This is the real reason they moved from Windows 10 to 11 naming, finally having search that works is just far too big of a deal to sweep it into a random Windows 10 update!

My main questions are "Is Cortana still a forced integration" and "Will the Microsoft Store constantly download apps I don't want to my PC despite my removing all permissions"...
I am using windows 11 for longer than a month now and i've never seen cortana.
Cortana doesn't look like a thing anymore. I've been using it as my main os for a while now. It feels a lot less bloated.
sounds like you don't know how to use a computer...
cortana is almost dead
Yesnt and yes
I daily-drove it since the first insider build and tried the first leak
I gotta say the navigation in the settings and control panel is about all you need for me to switch to windows 11. For example I have fairly common mic problems in windows 10 after an update and it still takes me like 10 minutes to find and navigate to the correct menu.
Thank you for the very informative video!

I think the best summary of this is: It seems like they're trying to make it more intuitive for average users, but in doing so, they made it less intuitive for everyone
Yeah. The design just screams "We prioritized this for touchscreens. Oh also, we have like 3 options on screen and LITERALLY EVERYTHING ELSE is swept under the rug- I mean... "More options"
@@jesustyronechrist2330 and the number of people using a touch screen on their desktop = 0
if i wanted a touch screen, id be using my android tablet, or iOS work tablet. Not my PC.
not more intuitive I think, just more shiny & modern-looking (more Mac-like or mobile-like design language). It will probably work well for any surface tabs but Windows 10's sharp corners vs MacOS's soft rounded look fit both of their respective signature target demographics (i.e. productive office people vs creative artsy people), and the sharp corners by default enabled having both sharp corners for most apps & rounded for those that use custom window frames instead (like Electron apps). Rounded does look more friendly all around though
They need to tweak the balance of minimalism & simplicity
how? i can't see that I'm using windows 11 daily and I can't remember feeling annoyed (except by the slightly unoptimized UI but that will change)
The quest for simplicity always ends up complicating things. That's why I never use anything made by Apple.
you can change the location from center to left. its in the task bar behaviors tab in the task bar settings
What I've learned from this is all of the positives are things that Ubuntu has had for years and all of the negatives are weird unnecessary features that will be at best ignored and at worst inconvenient (the "see more options" in the right click menu, the widget display, the extra spacing for touch features). So with a few more iterations, Windows will become linux and then it'll be great!
"upgrades" that increase the number of clicks it takes me to do what I currently do are not upgrades.
SHIFT + F10 bring up full menu every time but I agree, dump move. Most people know the shortcuts keys to copy, cut and paste. Properties is ALT + ENTER. I hope they give an option for users to change it so it display the full menu no matter what
I want this sculpted on the moon
@Cindy SparkleFarts while people focus on the UI changes (some are good, some are not like the stripped down right click menu) this is pretty much 100% about security. In fact, If you have supposed hardware (mainly supported CPU), you can get every single security feature that is gained in windows 10. If you have supported hardware I'm unsure why you wouldn't upgrade. I do agree the added security is going to cause headaches for home users. Do you think the average user is going to know what to do if they are prompted for a bit locker key because the bios got reset? I had that happen, my battery on the motherboard was lose so when I unplugged the power cord the BIOS went back to the default settings, including the secure boot keys and certs, if you have your BL key then you just enter it and it fixes itself. MS tried to make secure boot mandatory in 8.1 but backed down due to user outrage.
The CPU compatibility list is due to the virtual based features needed. VBS requires. MS actually goes into detail about this but yet refuse to publicly say why these new virtualization technologies, or updated existing ones are required. Defense Guard took some steps as it only works with edge natively but there is an extension for Chrome/Firefox. This is more geared towards businesses as you need a gpo, (you can setup the local policy if you want) Essentially I'd you go to a url on the not approved list, it opens in a virtualized tab, completely isolated from the rest of the OS so no malware or ransomware effects the system. While this sounds similar to sandboxing tabs, same concept but more secure as it protects the kernel at all costs. Time will tell but my company already announced that they will be pushing windows 11 although they are going to have to buy some new hardware
www.google.com/amp/s/www.zdnet.com/google-amp/article/ok-microsoft-you-win-im-buying-a-windows-11-pc/
Now, with this required hardware-enforced containerization and virtualization tech, Windows 11 will isolate applications and processes much more easily. It will be much more difficult for malware in an errantly running application to access resources it isn't supposed to. It will only access the resources in that specific application task that it infects, such as a particular browser tab.
It won't have a free run of the OS, and if the infected task is detected based on its known malware signature, it's nuked in orbit.
Core Isolation requires a hypervisor, whereas MDAG appears to use host-based virtualization (which has less stringent hardware requirements), which could be the difference.
So it's unknown at this point if Gen6 systems like my 2016-era Dell XPS 8900 (Intel Skylake) running on the prerelease today will still be working on the gold release of Windows 11 in October. It would be nice if they did. I'm not counting on it.
Precisely. I'll be passing on this that's for sure.
@@JoshFisher567 But you can enable BitLocker and Secure Boot in Windows 10. Where's the extra security in Windows 11?
This whole presentation tells me Microsoft wants to cater more to the 2in1 or tablet user than the desktop user. Hopefully there'll be an update to streamline some of these weird choices for the desktop interface.
This has been the case since Windows 8. Windows 7 was Microsoft's last true desktop operating system.
meh larger hit targets are superior
@@chidorirasenganz Not if it requires hiding actually useful options
I wouldn't say they are focusing on touch, sure there are touch improvements, but those larger "hit targets" are better for people on laptops and those with accessibility requirements (such as those who struggle with their Motor Control or who are visually impaired).
@@AaronMcHale Also it lowers cognitive load. The more interface elements you cram into a screen the more work your brain has to do to make use of the UI

Windows Terminal is built into Windows 11.

This feature is basically available in Windows 10 by default by just typing 'cmd' in the folders address bar. I guess that Windows 11 will save you typing 3 letters or installing a Microsoft Store app.
@@Spacenode Didn't know about that. That's why it's better to have it on right click - way more obvious...

Valuable stuff, great presentation.
I love how there's now 10 different icon styles in windows, 6 different control panels, and 18 different menu styles.
Microsoft really needs to drop the grandfathered outdated code/settings/apps and have a better team to work on a cohesive design. It seems like they are trying but, as huge as they are, they have created a mess. I wonder if they have a management problem internally.
@@Norweeg I'd rather they stick with their old design that people know. Fact is that windows 10 was acceptable because it kept more of what people liked about windows 7 and earlier windows than what windows 8 did. Trying to mess with the user interface yet again is a boneheaded move. You can color or stylize the UI, but don't you dare change how it works, or it will be a failure. I'm predicting windows 11 to solidly fail as MS still hasn't fully learned that lesson yet.
There's only 2 control panels on windows 11, the legacy one and the new one, just like windows 10.
What are the six control panels?

It's more appealing to young children growing up on smartphones and tablets, making a coherent feeling between different software types to feed an ever intolerant market.

Agree, what I hate most about Win10 is what use to take a click or two for an advanced setting was doubled at least. Have said for years they should have a GUI option for standard/basic or advanced user. Or default to advanced user when logged in as administrator to unhide and bring all advanced settings/menus to the foreground. From an IT standpoint Win10 leaves much to be desired, get the feeling it will largely be the same with 11. And no right-click... oh my...

All I want is windows to add true support for multiple drives. I would love to be able to set a drive to specifically host windows while others host documents or programs etc.. I've done it before via regedit but it has always resulted in very minor but still present bugs that show up as blue screens in the worst case. A menu to select the drives would be simple and safe so much hassle
Glad to see they're expanding on my favorite modern Windows featureset, having to fuck with basic folder settings constantly to get them back to a useable state for the sake of supporting tablets that I don't own.
Yep... Seriously. No one I know, even those with laptops with touch screens, actually use touch screens over other inputs. Touch just isn't that great. It's tolerable on phones because they're too small to use anything else. I'd prefer not to have to wipe down any PC I'm using daily. And I'd prefer my OS not be defaulting for touch screen compatibility when no touch hardware is installed.
@@scythelord I use the touchscreen on my laptop almost exclusively.
Touchpads simply suck - the location, the size, did I already say location?
And if I want to use a mouse I use my desktop PC instead of my laptop.
The only upside to a touch screen is using a stylus to draw but the why not just get a drawing tablet? Or buy the cheap iPad model?

This. So this. The exact reason why I'm not getting WIndows 11, even though I'm one of the (probably) few people who can install in on their computer. I HATE this shit so god damn much. Hate it when companies think they know what's best for you and that they know what you like and dislike, removing features because "oH, peOPle DOn't uSe tHeM". No, they DO use them.

For everyone that wants to try Win 11, remember that if you use win 11 for more than 10 days, you cannot roll back to your old win 10. If you try to roll back to WIn 10 via Windows Update, you can see the system working to roll back, but at the end of "rollback" to Wind 10, you system restart with Win 11 still here... The only way to "rollback" after 10 days of Win 11 is a fresh install of Win 10... so be carefull trying Win 11.
That should never be a thing if they are gonna change and remove features. The fuck!

The centered taskbar is awesome for curved screens
My biggest gripe is the tabs bar it just doesn’t look right especially with all that extra stuff Microsoft added. The other main issue is you have to click twice to find the option you are looking for.
What they should have done was make Touchscreen mode, and then I can disable all that crap and use it as a Desktop only. Hovering for popups is also dumb, no thankyou.
I'm not a software developer but I imagine that they save a ton of hours and probably weeks and months over time by just having one mode. Correct me if I'm wrong, but that just doesn't sound worth it.

I admire win users that they can keep up with a constantly changing interface. Every version have different menus, settings, shortcuts if at all and bugs or glitches. It takes sometime to 10m on Google or youtube to find out how to restrict users (children) to access whatever the should. Or how you edit explorer menu options for opening different files with different apps. For example I used to have options when you right click on an audio file. It would say listen in winamp, edit in sound forge, send it to drive, share on, fileshare option ect. It is great a option on XP. I am not sure how to do this on later os'.
"People who use 7zip and are now going to have to make EXTENSIVE use of this 'Show more options' button..."
I feel personally attacked
You can make it default to opening those.
@@outlaw6313 "You can". You now have to
Me too. I use 7zip on an almost daily basis.
Shift-F10 is the hot key for opening that sub-menu, so there is that, too!
not even 7zip, any third party context menu. Like one of the many compression/decompression utilities, x-delete and sub-menus for 3rd party file/folder/disk encryption.
The goal is to make 3rd parties feel less and less supported. This is Windows 98 all over again.

@M P stop crying and let people have opinions
You missed the tabs on the file explorer. Huge upgrade. You can also select different audio devices for any app.
From talking about the start/taskbar to the widgets to the terminal app to the explorer to the tone to the HDD ( Highly Dynamic Display ) to a TOUCHPAD to new features in the settings app, I think this is one of the biggest Windows OS ever since it has big revamps. I'm on Windows 11 right now and I hope Microsoft could do something good, I would be happier than ever.
The best summary of Windows 11 I’ve seen, especially with the comparisons directly on screen to Windows 10. Thanks Anthony & team.

It'll probably change design a bit before release but it's a bad sign that you need to perform one more click every time to get exactly what we get in Windows 10. Why is Microsoft trying to make it harder to do common tasks in Windows 11?

Thumbs up and subscribed! Y'all are awesome, please more videos!
Unless winver is defined explicitly by the objects will load in the default WNDCLASS settings of the system.
Should not effect anything as far as skins the texture I believe is clamped to and not adjusted past it's normal parameters.
Removing and/or burying advanced settings and features for the sake of simplicity feels like a slap in the face to power users.
I mean I'm all for simplifying UIs, but there should be a way to enable more advanced ones as well. This way both worlds win.
They did the same thing with moving from Windows 7 to 10. Basic, easy to access features and settings all got shoved under "advanced" menus that required extra clicks. Drove me crazy for the longest time, now it looks like they're just making it even worse.
simplifying ui is always good sacrifices but the thing we sacrificed for doesnt even look that good and minimal
It's what Apple did in Mac os. The power user market isn't the largest. They worry more about pulling people from Apple.
@@KhromTX main problem is that Windows 10 settings are so disjointed. You have your newfangled settings with huge options, so you could also change them on a touch screen.
But then not all settings are in there and you need to go to Windows 7 style small settings to change a lot of vital things.
What the hell? Maybe only implement that new settings UI once you actually migrated all the settings?
How the hell is that even still a thing? 10 has been out for years. How haven't you migrated all the settings and retired the old menus yet? It's truly baffling.
I might hope Microsoft brings back actual taskbar customization, as I (and many others) can't stand the icon grouping. Also, you can no longer drag a file onto an icon on the taskbar so you open the file with that program. It now requires you to open the program and drag the file in. Very inconvenient.
It just seems that this redesign follows on with the "looks like it's made for kids" trend. Anyways, by 2025 I'm sure there's someone who made a mod for these issues. Until then, no Windows 11 here.
I've never been able to do that with Windows10?
@@hambo76 that's a question?
I just want my taskbar at the top and yet cant do that with win11
oh god, if taskbar icons are always combined thats a deal breaker
Agreed. I hate the icon grouping so much. It makes it so much harder to work with multiple windows and take things that could have just taken a glance and one click before now take multiple clicks and more confusing appearances. There's no reason for it and no reason to remove the option to turn this off like in every other version.
Thanks for the great review I'm watching at a screen where i must select windows 10 install or windows 11 upgrade... this video made me come closer to a choice haha.
5:35 .. wanna command line opened in location where you are in explorer (file one), so just klick to URL bar and type cmd + Enter. And cmd.exe will open just in the location where you've been. Want to have Power Shell instead of old cmd .. just typ powershell to URL bar and enter.
The file explorer "show more options" feature is pretty awful. It's the only change I really despise so far.
Pro tip: you can use the keyboard context key to bring up the old context menu immediately. Far from ideal but at least it saves a click 🤣
Wow, that's pretty inconsistent.
That's a relief for me, I don't really use a lot the mouse.
Yeah it's really inconsistent. I'm positive they'll make it a configurable option. There's already a registry hack to fix it, but doesn't seem to work yet.

I had a 1920x1200 24" main screen and a 1080p 49" TV as second screen. When I switched a monitor off the application window display stayed put. Sure some would open on the last screen used even if that screen was switched off but I was okay with that.
I upgraded to a 32" 4K main screen and so had a new display port graphics card. If I moved a window over to the 1080p TV it would mostly bounce back as "not fitting". I had to resize the window to slide it first. So I get a 65" touch screen display panel. Now when I switch off a monitor the windows move to the one remaining open. Move a window to the large screen and make it full screen it moves back to the smaller screen. The display panel also warns me that in 8 seconds it is going to switch off. Have to get up and touch it and even then if might still go to sleep. As the display monitor is supposed to be for 24/7 use with rolling content or for use in classrooms not a welcome feature. Having a touch screen of this size is surprisingly useful particularly for grand standing like the boss. Lol.
Pretty much summed up all my pros and cons from having had a play. The context menu is a real face palm. They either needed a complete overhaul to allow proper user customisation or to just add a few extra touch buttons at the tip of the existing context menus. The show more options work around is super annoying.
agreed, originally i thought i had installed the home version by mistake or something.
If they don’t fix that, I’ll probably stay with 10 for as long as I can.
Same. Context menu is one of the best things that ever happened in Windows and now they're trying to unnecessarily make it more complicated.
I'll stick with my 10 for now.
