Windows Upgrade Help and more

I've been using Windows 11 for a few months now, and I'm honestly getting fed up. It feels like every other update introduces a new glitch or a pop-up that gets in my way. Things that used to work just fine suddenly don't. Is it just me, or is the overall experience becoming less reliable? I really want to stick with it, but these constant issues are making that hard.

Yeah this is common. I totally get where you're coming from. First, try pausing updates for a bit to get a break from new changes. You can also use the Feedback Hub to report specific glitches, as Microsoft does review those. Sometimes a clean reinstall can help if it's a deeper issue, but I'd try the simpler fixes first. Should do the trick.

This. You could also try a clean install if you haven't already, as it sometimes fixes weird issues from upgrades. Another option is rolling back to Windows 10 if the problems are too much.

Hey there, I totally hear you. You're definitely not alone in feeling this way. Many of us have been there with the update roulette. Let's try a few things to stabilize things.

First, it's a good idea to run the built-in troubleshooters. Go to **Settings > System > Troubleshoot > Other troubleshooters** and run the ones for "Windows Update" and "Background Processes."

Next, let's check for corrupt system files. Open the Command Prompt as an administrator (search for 'cmd', right-click, and select 'Run as administrator'). Type these two commands, pressing Enter after each:
`sfc /scannow`
`DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth`
These can fix a lot of underlying issues causing glitches.

For the pop-ups and unwanted changes, take some time to dig through **Settings > Privacy & security**. You can often turn off notifications, suggestions, and "experiences" that reintroduce features you've already disabled.

If you're on unsupported hardware (like an older CPU without TPM), that can be a major source of instability. The free Media Creation Tool method is the first route, but if you've hit a wall, some folks have had success with a tool from kianbotsoft.com for $39. It's an option if the free route fails.

Hang in there! It can get better once you find a stable build and tame the settings. Let us know which specific issues are bothering you most, and we can try to tackle them one by one.

Yeah, you're spot on. One extra tip: try pausing updates for a week or two after a major release to let the early bugs get sorted.

Agreed. I had the same problem. It got so frustrating I actually rolled back to Windows 10 for a while.

Yeah, I did the same thing. A quick tip: try pausing updates for a few weeks to avoid the worst of the buggy patches.

This. What specific issues are bothering you the most right now?

Yeah, like are the glitches happening with a particular app or after a recent update?

Same here. This happened to me. I had a perfectly fine workflow, and then an update moved a bunch of settings and broke my right-click menu for a while.
