Windows 11 build 22000.588 (KB5011563) brings " System requirements not met...

PATHETIC!!! Typical M$ fashion!!

So fixing slow as molasses, broken, incomplete new context menus is low priority but tagging people’s systems is high priority…. Microsoft shamelessly exposes themselves that they are PC manufacturers friendly and not “user oriented.”

It has become pain to use Windows 11 due to context menu problems and explorer which is terrible in performance. I just hate to use Windows 11 now.

Back to 10 it is then, I stayed with 11 for a while, but... It's just not for me.

MS stopped being user friendly the day they released the putrid W8 and it's been downhill ever since.

Not surprising as they have a pattern with OS's that's held since at least Win98 to date with 'Win11' being part of the cycle that will almost certainly be rejected by the masses (but really, if we count from when PC's were roughly popular/mainstream it was pretty much WinXP/Win7/Win10 that dominated with the masses). hell, I think on the limited CPU requirements alone (officially it supports CPU's made in roughly the last 5 years only), doomed Win11 as they are eliminating too much hardware from running it.

so while this is not as much of a disaster as Win8 was upon release, since it's interface was flat out horrible for typical desktop/laptop use, it's still a serious enough issue by eliminating a large portion of hardware that should be bale to run it, but can't because they trying to get a bit extra security. sure, extra security is good and all but it's probably not a significant enough of a different to eliminate a high percentage of hardware to get that extra security. but who knows, maybe on the bright side after Win11 fails, say by around Oct 2025 when Microsoft no longer supports Win10, by then more hardware that works with Win11 like requirements might be more tolerable since then you might have hardware that's roughly 10 years old that will work. still, might be a little limited, but 'maybe' it will be a bit more reasonable then.

Yeah, while Win10 was accepted by the masses, so I pretty much consider it apart of the 'good' OS's from Microsoft overall, it does seem like after Win7 a lot of BS started to happen with Microsoft in general (like their overall standards declined, at least on some level). so I can see why you say that.

Windows 11 is not going to be rejected by the "masses". Microsoft doesn't care older machines are not supported. When the "masses" buy a new PC it will probably have Windows 11 on it. In the past, it was standard procedure for the "masses" to upgrade to a new version of Windows when they purchased a new PC.

For all those who said that the new requirements being seen in the Dev builds weren't going to make it to the Stable builds, here's your proof. It's already started. First it will be this watermark, and later the Pro SKU will require an Internet connection and a Microsoft account, just as the Home SKU. Seeing is believing.

Basically Pro edition will have nothing to do with being Pro.

Basically. You're not getting a "Pro" experience when you're being forced into things and requirements that you don't want in the first place. The whole point of a Pro SKU is being able to make choices that vanilla users can't make.

MS is so Green as to be insistent on getting as many computers 5 years old or more into the landfills as soon as possible
