00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:07.319
Windows 11 is great I mean this baby

00:00:03.480 --> 00:00:09.840
packs so many features like better HDR

00:00:07.319 --> 00:00:13.500
better multi-monitor support better search and there's only there's only a

00:00:11.940 --> 00:00:19.220
few little um buds to work out that

00:00:17.100 --> 00:00:26.640
um okay it has some problems and

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

00:00:30.060 --> 00:00:34.800
weeks and this is a message from our sponsor

00:00:58.020 --> 00:01:05.339
first up on our list is a seemingly minor complaint but it's one that could

00:01:02.640 --> 00:01:09.840
hide something much more Sinister as of writing there were a few core tools that

00:01:07.439 --> 00:01:15.900
were just straight up broken on Windows 11 launch the Snipping Tool voice typing

00:01:12.720 --> 00:01:17.640
and the Emoji panel now Microsoft is

00:01:15.900 --> 00:01:22.020
already rolling out a patch and by the time you watch this it'll probably be

00:01:19.260 --> 00:01:28.619
fixed but the issue is that these broke because Microsoft's digital certificate

00:01:25.140 --> 00:01:30.479
expired on October 31st why are core

00:01:28.619 --> 00:01:33.360
parts of the operating system dependent on these digital certificates that can

00:01:32.640 --> 00:01:38.579
just expire if you have the pro version and

00:01:36.960 --> 00:01:43.979
suddenly you can't use a feature you paid for that is simply unacceptable

00:01:41.100 --> 00:01:49.439
speaking of buying Windows 11 unless you pay extra for the pro version good luck

00:01:46.860 --> 00:01:54.540
creating a local offline account without logging into your Microsoft account many

00:01:52.259 --> 00:01:58.079
of you already have Microsoft accounts and there are real world benefits to

00:01:56.340 --> 00:02:03.119
using one like account recovery through the cloud but this solidifies once and

00:02:01.140 --> 00:02:08.459
for all the idea that while Windows is becoming free to use you're almost

00:02:05.820 --> 00:02:12.000
certainly paying for it with your data once you've logged in you can create as

00:02:10.259 --> 00:02:17.099
many local accounts that aren't linked to Mr Gates as you want but your Windows

00:02:14.700 --> 00:02:22.319
11 ET will need to phone home during setup or you are basically hooped we

00:02:20.760 --> 00:02:27.980
haven't actually encountered this one yet but there are reports online of the

00:02:24.780 --> 00:02:30.060
Windows 11 driver update tool actually

00:02:27.980 --> 00:02:35.160
downgrading the drivers that you have installed for your GPU so for now you're

00:02:32.940 --> 00:02:40.200
best off completely ignoring the tool and sticking with your direct download

00:02:36.480 --> 00:02:41.760
from the NVIDIA or AMD website oh and by

00:02:40.200 --> 00:02:46.920
the way did you notice the menu Breaking In that clip well multiple staff members

00:02:44.580 --> 00:02:51.900
here at LMG have reported file explorer just randomly crashing on them it's

00:02:49.440 --> 00:02:56.519
happening to Jake three to five times a day and after the first couple of times

00:02:53.879 --> 00:02:59.940
it really starts to get on your nerves I mean we expect some crashes here and

00:02:58.500 --> 00:03:05.220
there it's not like Explorer doesn't hang in Windows 10 sometimes but when a

00:03:02.700 --> 00:03:09.660
core feature like this fails repeatedly you can't help but get this anxious

00:03:07.860 --> 00:03:13.800
feeling like there's always a storm cloud following you around

00:03:11.640 --> 00:03:19.260
speaking of which where's my weather Windows you took forever to put the

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

00:03:21.540 --> 00:03:26.220
gone hidden away in the widgets How will

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

00:03:28.260 --> 00:03:34.620
stealth hoodie from lttstore.com also right-clicking the taskbar no longer

00:03:33.120 --> 00:03:39.180
gives you the option to bring up task manager and no longer gives you the

00:03:36.780 --> 00:03:43.080
option to anything at all except for taskbar settings

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

00:03:45.599 --> 00:03:53.040
game on my main display you know the one where you've inconveniently glued the

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

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

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

00:04:06.480 --> 00:04:13.500
to a scheduler issue thankfully the patch for that seems to be working for

00:04:10.739 --> 00:04:18.060
most people now but now it's Intel that seems to be having their own troubles

00:04:15.060 --> 00:04:19.919
we've had to do more hard resets in the

00:04:18.060 --> 00:04:24.660
last couple of weeks than in the last couple of years playing a mix of both

00:04:22.500 --> 00:04:30.360
older games like Dota 2 or slay the spire and newer ones like Forza Horizon

00:04:27.120 --> 00:04:32.580
5 and death Loop it might be the new

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

00:04:34.740 --> 00:04:40.080
is with multiple monitors suddenly going

00:04:37.919 --> 00:04:43.800
dark and then the entire PC becoming non-responsive but at this point the

00:04:42.360 --> 00:04:48.300
only thing we know absolutely for sure is that it's pretty annoying

00:04:46.320 --> 00:04:53.160
now for some more multi-monitor woes these come in the form of weird scaling

00:04:51.060 --> 00:04:57.900
bugs that just keep encountering basically if you have scaling set to 150

00:04:55.620 --> 00:05:03.540
and open the settings menu in your secondary display it'll open scale to

00:05:00.479 --> 00:05:05.880
100 you can then move it back to the

00:05:03.540 --> 00:05:11.580
primary display and bada bing bada boom it's fixed but this kind of window dance

00:05:08.580 --> 00:05:14.940
shouldn't be required in the first place

00:05:11.580 --> 00:05:17.940
and neither should fussing a boat with

00:05:14.940 --> 00:05:20.340
the updater it worked perfectly fine for

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

00:05:22.320 --> 00:05:29.960
complaints online to be clear we always recommend fresh installing a new OS for

00:05:27.539 --> 00:05:35.520
the cleanest most bug-free experience but keeping all of your programs and

00:05:32.580 --> 00:05:40.020
files is supposed to be possible and it makes for a much less painful transition

00:05:37.500 --> 00:05:43.979
for most people so it would be great if it worked another annoyance that started

00:05:42.539 --> 00:05:49.380
with what we thought would be a pretty cool feature is the Overflow icons

00:05:47.340 --> 00:05:52.979
pretty straightforward in theory you take apps in your system tray and then

00:05:51.300 --> 00:05:59.699
put them over onto the right side of the taskbar as overflow icons pretty nifty

00:05:56.820 --> 00:06:03.960
unfortunately these icons often become impossible to right-click and interact

00:06:01.979 --> 00:06:07.800
with while a game is up so it's what's the point you know you

00:06:06.479 --> 00:06:12.479
hit the Windows key to bring up the taskbar you right click the icon and

00:06:11.340 --> 00:06:16.259
nothing which you know maybe you would think oh

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

00:06:18.660 --> 00:06:24.840
them back in the system tray they work just fine

00:06:22.560 --> 00:06:29.940
now let's talk about the rounded Corners these have been causing a fair amount of

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

00:06:32.940 --> 00:06:39.479
expand and resize currently it is too difficult to grab the corner in order to

00:06:37.380 --> 00:06:46.800
perform these actions because Microsoft and their Infinite Wisdom removed the

00:06:41.759 --> 00:06:48.960
corner looks great feels ungrate now the

00:06:46.800 --> 00:06:54.060
fix is pretty easy make The Sweet Spot bigger for the mouse cursor or just add

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

00:06:56.699 --> 00:07:02.039
quality of life with Windows 11. also

00:06:59.819 --> 00:07:05.819
right clicking on the desktop used to be a great experience you get all these

00:07:04.080 --> 00:07:10.080
relevant options that are now hidden away in a sub menu and the worst part

00:07:08.580 --> 00:07:15.300
isn't that those options are being hidden away it's how many of these Sub

00:07:13.020 --> 00:07:21.300
menu options are actually just repeats of the previous menu like why

00:07:19.080 --> 00:07:25.800
yes the new quick options at the top great feature but you could have added

00:07:24.240 --> 00:07:31.259
those without tacking on a seemingly pointless extra step as for the start

00:07:28.080 --> 00:07:32.759
menu there's a lot of empty space and it

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

00:07:36.180 --> 00:07:41.460
furthermore if you start typing to search for something it switches you

00:07:39.960 --> 00:07:45.720
over to the search window which just feels unnecessarily jarring it doesn't

00:07:44.220 --> 00:07:49.740
even morph smoothly into the other window it just jankly brings up the

00:07:48.120 --> 00:07:53.699
search menu while dropping the start menu at least it does the first time you

00:07:52.080 --> 00:07:57.840
do it just like we're going to be putting together a one petabyte SSD

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

00:07:59.759 --> 00:08:07.080
we've forgotten about you Mr Windows search you were the chosen one finally

00:08:04.979 --> 00:08:12.599
to be focused on helping us find our files and applications but no Microsoft

00:08:10.259 --> 00:08:16.620
decided that web results should still be the priority

00:08:13.740 --> 00:08:21.900
now to be clear it is better than Windows 10 way better than Windows 10.

00:08:18.780 --> 00:08:25.199
we just feel that a tiered setting web

00:08:21.900 --> 00:08:27.180
priority local priority or local only

00:08:25.199 --> 00:08:32.159
would allow it to be all things to all people rather than well an annoyance to

00:08:30.180 --> 00:08:36.360
many people now we've mentioned often that being an

00:08:33.899 --> 00:08:40.560
early adopter sucks and while many folks are actually reporting a hassle-free

00:08:38.219 --> 00:08:44.520
experience with Windows 11 a fair few are squarely on the other end of the

00:08:42.479 --> 00:08:47.700
suck Spectrum hopefully the next six months to a year sees the majority of

00:08:45.959 --> 00:08:53.940
these issues ironed out though because as painful as broken Windows can be get

00:08:51.300 --> 00:08:58.320
it because glass painful ah he laughed a little

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

00:09:01.800 --> 00:09:08.459
easy is transitioning to our sponsor Microcenter has partnered with ASUS to
