I've had explorer crash (and by explorer I mean the whole thing + taskbar reset) maybe once or twice in the entire time I've used windows, unless you used some random debloat script an update might have been likely to fuck it up

I use explorer patcher I guess that could've caused it, but i'll just live with it if thats the case because the win11 taskbar is dogshit

Curious, I use explorer patcher too but I've never run into crashes. Did you change only the taskbar or you messed with some other explorer patcher settings. I tried switching to the 10 menu once and it was concerningly buggy.

I'm on 23H2 though so it might be a completely different case. Going off of previous posts you're using 11 LTSC right now so that might also play a part, but it would be weird if it did.

I did change the start menu to win10, I also disabled rounded corners I might just reset my settings just in case

God I despise windows 11 task manager, I don't understand how they fucked up something that just worked in windows 10 and prior (hell, it was fine in some earlier versions of windows 11 too, now the resource monitor unnecessarily hogs resources for some reason).

Switched to process explorer and its been far less intensive comparably, but I still can't fathom the decision. The idea that they could (and might) do this to the control panel is a more horrifying prospect.

Task manager has always been shit simne Windows 8.
 
Windows 10 non-ltsc loses support in 33 days, but still accounts for over 50% of global marketshare (for context Windows 7 was under 10% in the couple months before support ended).
I wonder if Microsoft is going to push an ad update that soft bricks computers for people who don't understand it well enough to bypass it.

They just going to force people to pay up via Microsoft accounts for extended support, that's half the motivation for dropping support this early

So Windows as a subscription. That will not go over well.

I feel like its odd because I have no idea who the concept is marketed to.

If you use windows 10 and it goes OOS, you're one of several people:
  • Guy who uses an old PC and doesn't even really need windows, 10 or otherwise, could switch to linux easily
  • Same as 1st point but does need windows 10, will probably just get a cracked version or a script activated version and keep pushing
  • Guy who uses a modern PC and doesn't even really need windows, 10 or otherwise, could also switch to linux easily
  • Same as 3rd point but the guy does need windows, will likely just bite the bullet and upgrade to windows 11 or use an activation script
  • Guy who really needs windows 10 but can neither switch to linux nor can he upgrade to 11 (or doesn't want to)
On the 5th point, most of these people tend to be the kind of person who'd rather die before logging into their PC with a proper microsoft account, thoughtless of giving them actual money. The intersection between "desperate to stay on windows 10", "willing to properly pay for windows 10 ESU" and "unwilling to switch to linux" is so small I'd be surprised if they even profited off of every single person in that intersection giving them money

Tech illiterates who don't know what anything on that list means, who'll pay for the "security" benefits. How many billions were McAfee, Norton and Bullguard raking in in their heyday despite being worse than most malware? Of course they'll throw in some extra bullshit to sweeten the pot like a few gigs of onedrive space, some Microsoft store credits and a low level version of xbox game pass.

Maybe they will actually start charging to install software not listed on the microsoft store and altering some system settings to turn off analytics and the like but I really think that would be tying their own noose.
 
My bet is that MS is just that stupid. They expected for the majority switch to 11 before the new short deadline, not a 50/50 split a month away from it. Microsoft didn't fuck up 11 to fuck with your SSD out of some shadowy pact with drive manufactuers, they've just became that incompetent.

tech illiterates literally don't care, they ain't swapping to linux because no distro is made for a human being and working a lil bit to buy a cheap prebuilt is what many do.
with win11 "demanding" TPM to be enabled it's easy guess the regular techniggercattle will just buy laptops or a new prebuilt but i repeat myself, on used market there are tons of computers being sold as prebuilts now with windows 7-10 keys on their side in here and all of them have win11 "incompatible" parts but jeetsoft had bit the bullet and lets you install win11 without the need for tpm since a long while now, they force you to go through a lot of hoops however but then you are installing windows 11, not even LTSC or IoT...

Tech illiterates will however buy iPads and Android tablets and Chromebooks.
I wouldn't be surprised if Google has a massive advertisement campaign with discounts that starts in October

With iPadOS having a proper desktop mode now there could be some people switching to Apple

Where only one application at a time can play audio to an output device, and where background application support is dependent upon Apple-controlled push notifications or wasteful calls to get location info? It's legit worse than mid-00s Linux with OSSv3 and no sound server, lol.

(...and I say this as someone who uses an iPad.)
 
Windows is driving me insane, the windows search is broken and i have to reset the indexing the entire fucking time and everytime it reboots because it blocks windows search from finding basic shit such as the COMMAND PROMPT and CONTROL PANEL.
