Windows 11: Missing Features from Windows 10

Take care before moving to Windows 11, as you may lose access to some familiar features from Windows 10. Here’s a detailed list of features from Windows 10 that users commonly feel are missing or changed for the worse in Windows 11: Taskbar Changes: Taskbar Customization: Drag-and-drop to the taskbar is missing. You cannot move the taskbar to the top, left, or right of the screen as it is fixed…

Finally fixed my dell laptop and like, figured out how to fix my HP despite being told it was fried through years ago, because HP/dell have shared multiple part manufacturers forever and their builds are pretty similar

And I just

I have to bitch about this

So for the past few months my Windows 11 download has basically been making it to them my laptop will go into sleep mode and refuse to wake up, but blare the fucking fans the whole time and overheat, which has cooked through my main fucking battery.

And all of the solutions online never touched on this, but it literally worked for two fucking computers because it's THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM

Which is this

This, or rather these, are cmos/bios batteries. They typically last a few years, sit on the motherboard, and power the cmos chip that stores date/time and bios settings. Their slow death makes your computer shittier and for some ungodly reason, it's a bitch to get an actual manufacturer's repair shop to replace them.

For some reason though, windows 11 speeds up the degradation of these and has even more nightmarish reactions to an even some what dying cmos battery than usual. So like, even if you replaced it recently, if you went through a major install on a windows 11 machine it will for some ungodly reason still majorly eat it. Post major updates, you're fine, it's just ass.

So, six dollars. Cmos replaced (it's literally a coin battery). 98% of problem fixed and PCs that were previously unable to boot at all brought back to life, go into terminal, powercfg/a and check whether sleep state 3 is enabled. If not, registry, run key to enable state 3.

Computer can now awaken. (And fully power on/run without issues if bricked sometimes.)

Did this, battery swap, and checked the barrel port despite having only just replaced it on the off chance there was any damage. Nope.

Anyway, it's so stupid and annoying I just want this to exist somewhere on the internet for someone else to see so they don't end up going through hell like me.

introducing - the teddie shimeji!!!!

for those unaware, shimeji are lil desktop pets who walk around your computer screen. for the most part they're just cute and silly guys,,, buuuut they can be a bit mischievous sometimes. >:3

and now you can have a little bearboy on your computer screen!! he can watch you play persona 4 if you want. he might steal the window sometimes if you let him, though.

there's a couple things we might update eventually - he's not BEARFECT in every way, and we wanna make him more unique someday since right now he just has basic shimeji functions - but the important thing is that!!! he's here and ready to become your friend!!!!!!!! X333

Woo got Linux working! On a related note I have gotten over any fear of breaking things through the command line and also can now roll back to an earlier system backup. Yes those are related. In my defense, breaking things in interesting ways is a great way to figure out what's actually going wrong.

OH, in other news I finally got genshin running on linux with no graphical issues. It was annoying- I really hope mihoyo considers official linux support once windows 10 reaches end of life in october- but that means I'm no longer tied to windows 10 myself \o/ good riddance

[theresa-of-liechtenstein]

got a new laptop on sale yayy 😎 hopefully a zoom meeting will no longer threaten to wipe out my whole machine

[solomorne]

windows/linux rant

unrelated to SMT or anything on my blog currently I guess...

I keep seeing the "prep for windows 11" thing show up on my computer, and it upsets me every time that you have to have a microsoft account to install it.

windows 10 reaches end of support next year~~

I hope by then the computer I"m using will actually let me run linux on it instead of an outdated windows os....

I want to run linux on this machine so bad but whenever I try to install it, it seems to install fine and dandy

and then it won't boot

I've snooped around in the BIOS, disabled the "smart startup" or "secure startup" or whatever else I thought was borking the boot for linux.

but it still won't boot~~~

and sadly i've got games on here that only work on windows anyway.

I'd much rather be able to stay relatively safe online and maintain an OS, than play the games I bought on steam....

something is preventing linux from booting on this machine, it upsets me when I think about it, and it upsets me more when I try to install linux and it goes fine, but then doesn't boot

cause I have to take the time to reinstall windows again.....

why computer? why won't you let linux boot? what do I need to do to you to have linux actually boot? I don't understand...

*confused screaming*

running an ASUS ROG Stryx gaming pc that I bought on impulse years ago. so you'd think linux mint would boot just fine, right??

how do I fix it? if I can fix it? especially if I don't destroy the data on the second hard drive of this thing. I've got stuff I don't want to lose on here, preferably....

I wanna draw but my computer won't work :D

[catmemey]

I try not to make being a hater my entire personality

Cuz being a hater isn't something to be proud of

Its disgusting and cringe

However

I hate windows 11

Its so bad it literally doesn't work on native systems

Like you buy a new laptop. It comes with windows 11. And then windows 11 doesn't work on the computer that was sold with windows 11.

Windows 11 sucks 👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎

Computer elitists want us to buy new computers so they can break them because the old computers were too sturdy

Hate you hate you hate you hate you

Please tell me that this is just a dumbass ad cause this is the second time I got this in a week.

Quick Newsflash

After much blood sweat and tears, the Jazz Hands half of our operations has got Sims 3 finally working again.

What was crucial was the Lazy Duchess Alder Lake patch (or whatever it's called).

Now for the plot twist.

Your humble narrator is using a desktop which is using the same processor, an Intel i9-14900KF, as the one that has just about reduced the other half to tears trying to get to work. Yet only they had to use the Lazy Duchess patch to get the game to work. Figure that one out.

Other half is now about to enter the following phrase of switching from a Windows 10 compliant laptop to a Windows 11 compliant laptop to run Sims 3 on ...
