Sorry to hear of your suffering.

I, too, now am stuck with Windows 11, as it was pre-loaded (without my understanding...my fault) in the new laptop I just bought. The wonderful part about 11 is that it only "allows" MS-approved software installations.

Bye-bye, video and photo editing program. Arrivederci, AutoCad version I previously ran. Garden design program? Hasta la vista, baby.

Before the urge to throw the thing against the wall, up pops "Exit S Mode?"

"Why, yes, I think I would like to try that, good Sir."

"Are you sure?"

"Being somewhat of a luddite, I think I am."

"Really, really sure?"

"Please?"

"OK, but you can't come back."

"Dude! Just do it."

BOOM. I'm back in the game, with most things back to working again. I really dislike when they "improve" things to my detriment. It seems to always make a lot of work for me to either figure it out, or to go back to what I like.

Rant complete.

Work with it a little. You can change enough that its almost like Windows 10.

In the end, Microsoft went back on their word, they said when Windows 10 came out (2015-ish) that it would be the final version, they'd just keep updating it with new builds like Apple has done with OS-X ("X" being apple OS v10), that was when they skipped Windows 9, and the saying "Windows 7 8 9" became popular.

Nobody has said why they changed their mind, all of the "improvements" (and they do exist) in Windows 11 could have just been the continuous and incremental improvements of Windows 10. But I think Microsoft is feeling the hit, or pressure, from Google and Apple (and Amazon/AWS to an extent) having spy devices in everyone's pocket/backpack/car/home. So windows 11 emulates a lot of those "features" and enables the AI intrusion and data-mining that have been making billions of dollars for the other companies.

I say that with 8 different Windows-11 devices in my home as a type.

Sorry to hijack your post Chris, but I am glad to see you back!

The site Mike does is scalemilitarymodelling.com,A friend John bought the 2 Tamiya 1.350 Kg5s,He tends to be random what he buys.The Hobbyboss General Woolfe isnt out till January next year but its 1.350 so quite a biggie.I love watching warship modellers on youtube and see some amazing Japanese aircraft carriers etc.
ATB to you both.
