1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,319
Windows 11 is great I mean this baby

2
00:00:03,480 --> 00:00:09,840
packs so many features like better HDR

3
00:00:07,319 --> 00:00:13,500
better multi-monitor support better search and there's only there's only a

4
00:00:11,940 --> 00:00:19,220
few little um buds to work out that

5
00:00:17,100 --> 00:00:26,640
um okay it has some problems and

6
00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:31,199
these are 11 of the ones that have been driving us most crazy over the last few

7
00:00:30,060 --> 00:00:34,800

12
00:00:58,020 --> 00:01:05,339
first up on our list is a seemingly minor complaint but it's one that could

13
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:09,840
hide something much more Sinister as of writing there were a few core tools that

14
00:01:07,439 --> 00:01:15,900
were just straight up broken on Windows 11 launch the Snipping Tool voice typing

15
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:17,640
and the Emoji panel now Microsoft is

16
00:01:15,900 --> 00:01:22,020
already rolling out a patch and by the time you watch this it'll probably be

17
00:01:19,260 --> 00:01:28,619
fixed but the issue is that these broke because Microsoft's digital certificate

18
00:01:25,140 --> 00:01:30,479
expired on October 31st why are core

19
00:01:28,619 --> 00:01:33,360
parts of the operating system dependent on these digital certificates that can

20
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:38,579
just expire if you have the pro version and

21
00:01:36,960 --> 00:01:43,979
suddenly you can't use a feature you paid for that is simply unacceptable

22
00:01:41,100 --> 00:01:49,439
speaking of buying Windows 11 unless you pay extra for the pro version good luck

23
00:01:46,860 --> 00:01:54,540
creating a local offline account without logging into your Microsoft account many

24
00:01:52,259 --> 00:01:58,079
of you already have Microsoft accounts and there are real world benefits to

25
00:01:56,340 --> 00:02:03,119
using one like account recovery through the cloud but this solidifies once and

26
00:02:01,140 --> 00:02:08,459
for all the idea that while Windows is becoming free to use you're almost

27
00:02:05,820 --> 00:02:12,000
certainly paying for it with your data once you've logged in you can create as

28
00:02:10,259 --> 00:02:17,099
many local accounts that aren't linked to Mr Gates as you want but your Windows

29
00:02:14,700 --> 00:02:22,319
11 ET will need to phone home during setup or you are basically hooped we

30
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:27,980
haven't actually encountered this one yet but there are reports online of the

31
00:02:24,780 --> 00:02:30,060
Windows 11 driver update tool actually

32
00:02:27,980 --> 00:02:35,160
downgrading the drivers that you have installed for your GPU so for now you're

33
00:02:32,940 --> 00:02:40,200
best off completely ignoring the tool and sticking with your direct download

34
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:41,760
from the NVIDIA or AMD website oh and by

35
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:46,920
the way did you notice the menu Breaking In that clip well multiple staff members

36
00:02:44,580 --> 00:02:51,900
here at LMG have reported file explorer just randomly crashing on them it's

37
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:56,519
happening to Jake three to five times a day and after the first couple of times

38
00:02:53,879 --> 00:02:59,940
it really starts to get on your nerves I mean we expect some crashes here and

39
00:02:58,500 --> 00:03:05,220
there it's not like Explorer doesn't hang in Windows 10 sometimes but when a

40
00:03:02,700 --> 00:03:09,660
core feature like this fails repeatedly you can't help but get this anxious

41
00:03:07,860 --> 00:03:13,800
feeling like there's always a storm cloud following you around

42
00:03:11,640 --> 00:03:19,260
speaking of which where's my weather Windows you took forever to put the

43
00:03:17,099 --> 00:03:24,720
weather thing in the taskbar and then now just as I had gotten used to it it's

44
00:03:21,540 --> 00:03:26,220
gone hidden away in the widgets How will

45
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:30,959
I know that it's going to be a cold day and I need to grab my LTT beanie and

46
00:03:28,260 --> 00:03:34,620
stealth hoodie from lttstore.com also right-clicking the taskbar no longer

47
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:39,180
gives you the option to bring up task manager and no longer gives you the

48
00:03:36,780 --> 00:03:43,080
option to anything at all except for taskbar settings

49
00:03:40,739 --> 00:03:47,640
and while we're at it why the heck can't I see my clock on every monitor I want a

50
00:03:45,599 --> 00:03:53,040
game on my main display you know the one where you've inconveniently glued the

51
00:03:50,340 --> 00:03:57,360
clock and I don't want to alt Tab out of my game or pull out my phone to see if I

52
00:03:55,019 --> 00:04:03,180
should have gone to bed two hours ago ah gaming if you're running an AMD CPU

53
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:08,879
you got off to a pretty bad start with up to 15 performance loss in games due

54
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:13,500
to a scheduler issue thankfully the patch for that seems to be working for

55
00:04:10,739 --> 00:04:18,060
most people now but now it's Intel that seems to be having their own troubles

56
00:04:15,060 --> 00:04:19,919
we've had to do more hard resets in the

57
00:04:18,060 --> 00:04:24,660
last couple of weeks than in the last couple of years playing a mix of both

58
00:04:22,500 --> 00:04:30,360
older games like Dota 2 or slay the spire and newer ones like Forza Horizon

59
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:32,580
5 and death Loop it might be the new

60
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:37,919
auto HDR feature that's causing some of this fuss since what we've seen the most

61
00:04:34,740 --> 00:04:40,080
is with multiple monitors suddenly going

62
00:04:37,919 --> 00:04:43,800
dark and then the entire PC becoming non-responsive but at this point the

63
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:48,300
only thing we know absolutely for sure is that it's pretty annoying

64
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:53,160
now for some more multi-monitor woes these come in the form of weird scaling

65
00:04:51,060 --> 00:04:57,900
bugs that just keep encountering basically if you have scaling set to 150

66
00:04:55,620 --> 00:05:03,540
and open the settings menu in your secondary display it'll open scale to

67
00:05:00,479 --> 00:05:05,880
100 you can then move it back to the

68
00:05:03,540 --> 00:05:11,580
primary display and bada bing bada boom it's fixed but this kind of window dance

69
00:05:08,580 --> 00:05:14,940
shouldn't be required in the first place

70
00:05:11,580 --> 00:05:17,940
and neither should fussing a boat with

71
00:05:14,940 --> 00:05:20,340
the updater it worked perfectly fine for

72
00:05:17,940 --> 00:05:25,020
some of our staff but Jake had to do a fresh install and we've seen similar

73
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:29,960
complaints online to be clear we always recommend fresh installing a new OS for

74
00:05:27,539 --> 00:05:35,520
the cleanest most bug-free experience but keeping all of your programs and

75
00:05:32,580 --> 00:05:40,020
files is supposed to be possible and it makes for a much less painful transition

76
00:05:37,500 --> 00:05:43,979
for most people so it would be great if it worked another annoyance that started

77
00:05:42,539 --> 00:05:49,380
with what we thought would be a pretty cool feature is the Overflow icons

78
00:05:47,340 --> 00:05:52,979
pretty straightforward in theory you take apps in your system tray and then

79
00:05:51,300 --> 00:05:59,699
put them over onto the right side of the taskbar as overflow icons pretty nifty

80
00:05:56,820 --> 00:06:03,960
unfortunately these icons often become impossible to right-click and interact

81
00:06:01,979 --> 00:06:07,800
with while a game is up so it's what's the point you know you

82
00:06:06,479 --> 00:06:12,479
hit the Windows key to bring up the taskbar you right click the icon and

83
00:06:11,340 --> 00:06:16,259
nothing which you know maybe you would think oh

84
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:20,400
well that's because the game's launched and you can't interact with the assistant for icons except if you put

85
00:06:18,660 --> 00:06:24,840
them back in the system tray they work just fine

86
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:29,940
now let's talk about the rounded Corners these have been causing a fair amount of

87
00:06:27,180 --> 00:06:35,759
controversy for my part I don't mind the look but they need to be easier to

88
00:06:32,940 --> 00:06:39,479
expand and resize currently it is too difficult to grab the corner in order to

89
00:06:37,380 --> 00:06:46,800
perform these actions because Microsoft and their Infinite Wisdom removed the

90
00:06:41,759 --> 00:06:48,960
corner looks great feels ungrate now the

91
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:54,060
fix is pretty easy make The Sweet Spot bigger for the mouse cursor or just add

92
00:06:51,479 --> 00:06:59,819
an invisible corner to every window but it's got to be done in order to improve

93
00:06:56,699 --> 00:07:02,039
quality of life with Windows 11. also

94
00:06:59,819 --> 00:07:05,819
right clicking on the desktop used to be a great experience you get all these

95
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:10,080
relevant options that are now hidden away in a sub menu and the worst part

96
00:07:08,580 --> 00:07:15,300
isn't that those options are being hidden away it's how many of these Sub

97
00:07:13,020 --> 00:07:21,300
menu options are actually just repeats of the previous menu like why

98
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:25,800
yes the new quick options at the top great feature but you could have added

99
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:31,259
those without tacking on a seemingly pointless extra step as for the start

100
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:32,759
menu there's a lot of empty space and it

101
00:07:31,259 --> 00:07:38,099
can take a bit to load too which is something I thought we'd moved past after Windows 10's Growing Pains

102
00:07:36,180 --> 00:07:41,460
furthermore if you start typing to search for something it switches you

103
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:45,720
over to the search window which just feels unnecessarily jarring it doesn't

104
00:07:44,220 --> 00:07:49,740
even morph smoothly into the other window it just jankly brings up the

105
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:53,699
search menu while dropping the start menu at least it does the first time you

106
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:57,840
do it just like we're going to be putting together a one petabyte SSD

107
00:07:55,979 --> 00:08:01,680
server for the first time get subscribed so you don't miss that and don't think

108
00:07:59,759 --> 00:08:07,080
we've forgotten about you Mr Windows search you were the chosen one finally

109
00:08:04,979 --> 00:08:12,599
to be focused on helping us find our files and applications but no Microsoft

110
00:08:10,259 --> 00:08:16,620
decided that web results should still be the priority

111
00:08:13,740 --> 00:08:21,900
now to be clear it is better than Windows 10 way better than Windows 10.

112
00:08:18,780 --> 00:08:25,199
we just feel that a tiered setting web

113
00:08:21,900 --> 00:08:27,180
priority local priority or local only

114
00:08:25,199 --> 00:08:32,159
would allow it to be all things to all people rather than well an annoyance to

115
00:08:30,180 --> 00:08:36,360
many people now we've mentioned often that being an

116
00:08:33,899 --> 00:08:40,560
early adopter sucks and while many folks are actually reporting a hassle-free

117
00:08:38,219 --> 00:08:44,520
experience with Windows 11 a fair few are squarely on the other end of the

118
00:08:42,479 --> 00:08:47,700
suck Spectrum hopefully the next six months to a year sees the majority of

119
00:08:45,959 --> 00:08:53,940
these issues ironed out though because as painful as broken Windows can be get

120
00:08:51,300 --> 00:08:58,320
it because glass painful ah he laughed a little

121
00:08:56,160 --> 00:09:03,860
I haven't found my month-long transition to Linux to be any easier but what is

122
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:08,459
easy is transitioning to our sponsor Microcenter has partnered with ASUS to

maybe go check out part one of our Linux

137

daily driver challenge we definitely ran into some some issues there the answer

138
00:10:02,519 --> 00:10:05,420
is nothing's perfect
