god will windows ever have good multi monitor support, why when I go into a fullscreen game at a different resolution do all my windows just get jumbled around.

My logic is as follows: If the W11 vs W10 stats are saying favourable things about W11, then we will hear about it from Microsoft. If they are saying favourable things about W10, then we will not. As Microsoft have been quiet about this, there's our answer!
Same! I just checked out some of his last posts (10th of January) and he sounded pretty down on himself. I always enjoyed his posts despite having one cracker of an argument with him on something at one point. He often made good points if he was an angry boy.
If you're reading this @Slav Power , come back to us and complain about Window's default mouse settings or at least something.

Fullscreen is a legacy relic of an ancient era. I doubt they'll ever try to make it work much differently than it does because of how many edge cases show up when you let software force resolution changes.

I'm thinking of "upgrading" Win 10 Home 22H2 to IoT Enterprise LTSC 2021. Has anyone done this? Is it painless? I think I should probably still get security updates for the next couple of years and I don't want to install Win 11 until I have to. I know about MassGrave, but I just want to know about your personal experience.

I've done this, it's fine. Make sure you get the non-evaluation ISO from MassGrave (I don't remember if it straight up hosts the files or just links to them).
Before starting, regedit and change EditionID to EnterpriseS in HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion. Do not restart at this point.
Run the setup, it should allow you to keep everything from your current install, despite it technically being a downgrade.
I don't remember if you need generic keys at any point, but if you do, here they are:
M7XTQ-FN8P6-TTKYV-9D4CC-J462D <- non IoT
QPM6N-7J2WJ-P88HH-P3YRH-YY74H <- IoT
You're probably gonna need to activate it later with MAS or whathaveyou. If you're like me, you don't care about your previous key.
EDIT: I've remembered that I'm technically not on IoT, just LTSC. So from what I'm seeing here, and you should have a look at it too, apparently the EditionID is IoTEnterpriseS . Even if you can't go to IoT directly you should still be able to use normal LTSC as a bridge first

I've done that to one of my 10 Pro installations. Activation was not via MAS but HWID. You need to do the things Jang Joo mentioned, but it should work just fine.
Important to note is that it won't speed up an already bloated system as it just changes a few internal files and settings and otherwise keeps everything as it was. Also, you may lose a few features and functions as your system will be downgraded from 22H2 to 21H2.

That's fine. I'm only interested in security updates.

If anyone else hates these tooltips that appear when you hover over certain stuff in Windows 11 programs like Settings or Task Manager because they get in the way or else:
I found a way to "disable" them courtesy of this thread (A, A) on ElevenForum (The only thing different here is that I had to navigate to a different registry path than the one provided in the thread).
Open the registry editor and navigate to
It's also stressed that the key is to be a "REG_SZ" type though it should be like that by default. People in the thread tried different values like 4000 and such. I went with 10000 just to ensure it would work. After this, log off or restart your computer and these tooltips should be gone.
I've only tried it with Task Manager because that's where I noticed these little pieces of shit and where they got in the way the most for me but it should work for anything else that has them.

I prefer the new Task Manager, it's just that these tooltips got in the way of using it easily. Also, the old Task Manager does still exist in Windows 11, contrary to what that article you provided says:
Adding
-d to the target for Task Manager brings back the old one from Windows 10:If you want to be able to use the old Task Manager natively without having to constantly launch it from a shortcut or the start menu (Because the
-d flag doesn't apply the taskbar shortcut) then you can install this Windhawk mod:This also seems to do the
-d stuff.

Fuck this shit. I like the familiarity of Windows but holy shit the Microslop is making it hard to like and use Win 11 in current year.
Oh and the new Mozilla CEO being an absolute nigger.

Fullscreen misbehavior is just one example.
If you physically turn off one or more of your multiple displays at night (i.e. one of them is, say, a big wall-mounted TV above your desk that you play videos on in the background while you work), everything still gets fucked up when it powers back on after unlock anyway.
Recent Windows 11 incarnations have at least made some effort to try to remember where individual windows were prior to a "workspace geometry change" and return them to it if a later change returns to a previously-known configuration, but it routinely fucks it up anyway.
You're right though that they'll never bother trying to fix it. I spent years rattling their cage about multi-monitor window compositor behavior and never got anywhere. Funny how Linux never seems to fuck it up no matter how convoluted I try to make things.

I swear to God half my mornings when I'm working from the office is helping people fix their Windows' fucking up the multi-monitor shit.
The level of hatred I have for Win11 is probably immeasurable.
