I have read that a sign of insanity is doing the same thing over and over expecting a different result. If this is true Win11 is absolutely insane. Do those ossified craniums at Micro$oft actually think anyone out here is going to click a shortcut to start a program then click "no" on that asinine UAC popup? I'm surprised there isn't a second popup - "Did you wish to click "yes" to the UAC prompt?" I think a fitting reward for foisting this pathetic excuse for an OS on the public would be for everyone at Microsoft to enjoy their creation in every aspect of their lives from now on - "Do you wish to flush the toilet", "Do you wish to start the car?", "Do you wish to open the refrigerator?", "Do you wish to hug your spouse?"
Three weeks of this is enough, I shall turn off Universally Abhorred Crapola on this system as I did on Vista and Win7; despite the fact that everything I read online, not just MS fanboys but tech sites, windoze sites, etc. warns that doing so will cause the meltdown of the entire computer system worldwide.
Next will come eliminating W11 constantly pestering me to micromanage all those 450,000 "essential" processes always running in the background. As I wrote this there was a popup informing me that "sihclient" was requesting elevation ...how the hell am I supposed to know if this should be allowed or not. Though I would love to elevate sihclient ... deeply into the nether regions of Microsoft's CEO.
Haven't even installed FS2004 on this system yet. The ordeal of replacing the payware aircraft is weighing heavily. My racing sims work fine ...except for no FFB in W11 (which seems to be a complaint with joysticks in FS as well); looking at new wheels it's a tossup whether they will be fully functional, for every person who says it works fine there are a half dozen threads of "can't install drivers", "no FFB", "W11 doesn't recognize device".
I sense Win7 in a VM coming on.
