Statcounter reports that Windows 11 continues to lose its market share for the second month in a row. Windows 10, meanwhile, is gaining more users and is now back above the 70% mark.
Windows 10 is pretty crappy but tolerable, everything I’ve seen about 11 suggests it’s a utter shit show.
I really don’t have any issues with it, but I debloated it as soon as I got it.
So you removed all of the windows 11 from the windows 11, sounds pretty tolerable.
Not like Windows 10 doesn’t have heaps and heaps of bloat and spyware. Windows 11 just continues the trend.
It made the trend visible to non power users atleast. That’s for sure.
Yeah, the secret is to debloat it all the way to 7. Going under that is not advisable expect under doctors supervision.
I heard it’s pretty good with the bloat stripped. Honestly, if I’m going to start modifying my system I decided I’d rather have an OS that supports it properly.
More power to you though!
Do you have any guides or tips for others that might want to do the same?
‘clean up your PC’ type programs get sketchy, so reliable recommendations would be appreciated
As far as a debloater goes I recommend this one. Not only is it fast, it also has options to reverse all the things you did previously.

Beware of those things, all the people you see complaining that the store doesn’t work when they want to use gamepass were debloat users.
This is what I use. . They have a good preset, and there’s also the option to install 3rd party apps and do UI tweaks.
Same, but I run a “pro” version that I acquired from work like a decade ago.

American software is terrible at handling multi lingual users, aka people outside the US. Web browsers and Google services suffer from similar problems, but the random quotes in the lock screen are certainly something new to me.
Starting to think MSFT are no longer targeting users that care about that stuff. They’re going after the ignorant/complacent/corporate. I think they realized the rest of us were a lost cause as soon as Linux was remotely an option.
I have windows 11, and with startallback and directory opus both of which I had on 10) it’s indistinguishable from 10. No benefits, no drawbacks. Honestly should have saved the trouble and not installed.
I switched from 10 to 11 about a year or two ago and haven’t really had much issue with it. It was mostly a seamless switch, much less trouble than any other Windows transition, apart from something with the taskbar I remember being stupid, but I found some third party software that fixed it. I’d love to hate on MS, but I’m just sort of mildly ok with it. Even Copilot being added in to the sidebar is whatever, I’ve found some random needs for it here and there. As long as it doesn’t go snooping through my computer and report my mountain of illicit mighty morphin power ranger hentai, I should be ok.
