I have run into a few jokes online some fun other´s not so funny.
I am starting to look forward to Easter and all the stuff around that, but also the stress because of my work.
A co-worker at my workplace have retired after working for over 40 years in the same place, we had a small party and ate dinner together with some of the staff at a golf club.
I later had to help this co-worker with his PC because he had gotten win11 installed just overnight last year and the system had gotten VERY slow the last couple of weeks.
(5+minutes to boot to desktop/login screen, very slow to open folders and stuff.)
I did the usual tests and looked for disk fragmentation and disk errors (pc had a spinning HDD not a SSD even if it was from 2019) it was a Dell pc that seemed fairly outdated.
I also found that windows update was not running auto updates and had not updated at all for months, there was a big back-log of updates to do. About 5-6 that took several hours.
Also my co-worker did not realize he was using win 11 instead of win10 until i told him about it, he is not very computer savvy.
The pc was pretty much stock and had only the os installed so there was no junk to clear out, the autostart had just a handful of programs.
After updating everything i left his house and went home. I suspect i could be the HDD that is going bad, because last year he had a os that booted with a "boot error" massage, and i had to re install windowns 10 and all the Dell stuff using Dell´s recovery service and that took about 4 hours to install!. If the pc fails i will help him coose a new pc.
So Microsft is doing it again updating windows just like that forcing win11 onto people and there seems like you can´t stop it from happening even if you turn off windows update.
I remember when my parents got windows 10 installed against there will they had windows 7 before and suddenly BANG they got "upgraded".
I do not think my current PC will support Win11 unless i get a motherboard that is newer, i also have a laptop that supports win11.
I am sort of afraid to plug the laptop in and start it, in case they start installing win11 on it.
Some people have gotten their files screwed up by the update and are un able to restor them using system restore points.
