Switched to windows 10 a month or so ago just for ease of use with video games and mods. Man does windows suck ass. Wants to open random web pages, use dumb AI tools and give me useless info on every empty inch of screen space . At the end of the day it works but quality of life is low.

Been using it for a few months, quite happy. Does not seem to spike CPU with my settings
My pc "spikes" from 6% to 11% but was only noticeable when I raised the update speed to high
Is that the spiking, and are other people seeing more?
Yeah, about 5-6%.
it needs to check your license and onedrive files for DRM compliance. every click
I don't understand what this means, but try and find a single Windows user who cares (assuming everyone here is on Linux).
It means the start menu is a web browser showing you a webpage, and thus is very slow.
Basically. The start menu on windows 11 is really poorly implemented so that whenever you open it your CPU has to kick into overdrive for a split second.
Fun fact: Even windows users hate shitty performance of really basic software.
Well, I'm on Linux, but I don't think everyone here is. In fact, I suspect most aren't, since Linux penetration (uh-huh-huh, he said "penetration") is less than 2%.
Pretty sure everyone in here is on Android so....
assuming everyone here is on Linux
Why would you do that?
I had to test it. That is wild.
here’s a bandaid: https://github.com/valinet/ExplorerPatcher
There's also open shell if you like pre-W10 interfaces https://github.com/Open-Shell/Open-Shell-Menu
This kept breaking with updates I am so glad I wiped it and single booted linux
I used it with W10 for years without issue but it sounds like W11 has presented new challenges. That's unfortunate.
there’s several, in my comparisons: explorerpatcher looked a lot more actively developed and mature, but i never tried open shell….
