Microsoft finally realized Windows 11 is too annoying. Can it be fixed?
Microsoft's latest progress report details much-needed Windows 11 improvements in reliability, performance, stability, and usability. But pressure to monetize key features remains.
Microsoft has acknowledged that Windows 11 has become increasingly annoying due to its monetization efforts. File Explorer, Search, and Start are receiving responsiveness fixes. The company's Windows boss, Pavan Davuluri, has expressed that the feedback from Windows users has been heard and that improvements are being made to performance and reliability.
However, the progress report shared by Davuluri is vague and lacks measurable data. The company has also acknowledged that Windows has been neglected for years, with core user experiences like File Explorer not working as expected. Microsoft has promised improvements in areas such as responsiveness, reliability, and user control, but has not provided concrete benchmarks for these changes.
