cool glitch that happened to me. think id be a cool design feature as a separator : r/Windows11

I still hesitate when I open task manager even after years of it support on windows 11

MS just announced that the KMS (the licensing servers used to activate Windows Server in enterprise environments) will be upgraded with the next version of Windows to become tamper-proof. This was one of the main thing that was exploited by all of those tools that activate Windows... "sketchily" (it's illegal, you should buy a license..)

Nothing is certain and they announced this for their enterprise clients, but it's very, very likely that it will also apply to Windows 11 (or Windows 12?) eventually, and most likely will break all current known methods of "sketchy" activation.

So guys I hope y'all got your license 👀

I just do the ChrisTitu Standart tweaks for my Win11 Pro and have the O&O Shutup10++ run the recommended settings/tweaks and my ram usage at bootup its drastically decreased . I did the July update and it got back to 5.2gb instantly within minutes of loading drivers and all goes to 5.7gb . So I needed again to do the tweaks and went back to 3.1gb on 2 min of startup which is good since i can save a bit of ram . When windows its gonna fix this , probably never since they force telemetry back and guide tracking as much as they can . If i hadnt bought the license and didnt need Teams for my university I would switch to Win 10 iot Ltsc or 11 Ltsc . We all want to enjoy a smooth experience less bloat and much responsive performance , yet again dissapointed it seems the best choice is to pause updates for 2-3 months.

I seem to be the only one that loves all the new AI features in Windows, but I understand why they are not for everyone, some folks just prefer classic Windows. To solve this all Microsoft has to do is when you run Windows for the first time, it should give you two options to pick from: Classic Mode (Everything stays the same like older windows, show classic control panels only, classic file explorer with classic right click context menu, classic start menu, classic notepad, classic paint like a windows 7 windows 11) or Modern Mode (Modern system apps with ai like the new notepad and paint, the new start menu, the new right click context menu, show the new control panel only not a mix of both.)

Also, telemetry and default apps like bing, onedrive, teams, copilot should be optional not preinstalled, I know Microsoft wants everyone to use them, but no apps should run at start up unless user requested it to. The first step to get users to use an app is building quality apps not shoving it down all users' throats and making them damn near impossible to remove without using powershell scripts.

I have more ideas that can help Microsoft. I just feel like since they are such a big corporation that it's hard to pay attention to the small details because there's so many people in the inside with different agendas that's pulling Windows into different directions and now it's turning into AI slop. When Microsoft went from Vista to Windows 7 it was like a breath of fresh air, it was the last Windows version where I remember everybody was satisfied when it was released, it was simple, fast and stable. I haven't had that feeling in a while so I'm looking to connect with someone that works in the Microsoft building in Miami. If you do and you see this, send me a message or maybe you can refer me to someone that can get these ideas to the right person so that we can actually see changes make Windows great again!
