WTF is happening with Windows 11? And nothing else

Also, because of Notepad's new auto-open files feature,
Thanks for reminding me to change defaults. That is the stupidest feature. It even re-opens "files" that you where just using as a copy/paste buffer. "Do you want to save this?" - fuck off.

This mechanism can cause significant performance issues regardless of your storage type or its speed.
IOW, on par with the rest of Windows

@dcon I didn't realise there was a setting for it, but I actually like that feature.

I'm dual-booting Windows 10 / 11 but I find myself going to Windows 11 less and less. It has very little to offer and just isn't worth the aggravation.
I didn't like Windows 10 when it first came out but Microsoft made some improvements and eventually it became (sort of) usable. I was hoping that the same would happen with Win11, but Microsoft is going in the opposite direction, especially with this ads-in-the-Start-Menu bullshit.

Wtf is svchost doing here? Since several minutes, it writes a log file (?) at 20 MB/s - full speed of my cloudy disk!
Zhe file isC:\windows\System32\winevt\Logs\Microsoft-Windows-Store%4Operational.evtx

Windows 11 is likely the worst operating system I've used (upto now...).
True I made a bad choice when I selected aHDD
instead of anSSD
for the OS disk at the time of cretion of this VM. But I do not understand why tf that cannot be changed later on. A virtual machine is virtual, so also the virtual disk is just a file which gets hosted somewhere. So is so hard to transfer it to a SSD? Or are these actually different base images?
Performance has always been an issue with that machine. Mostly disk, but sometimes - and that's the reason why I am currently rebooting that thing - CPU. System services eat up almost all of CPU currently. And now try to debug a test in Visual Studio which takes far too many resources anyway...

They’re too busy tracking and recording what you’re doing to let you do anything anyway.

Google-fu suggests a Store app is trying to update itself and is failing very fast and repeatedly.
Bug Report: Logger Infinitely Looped writing to Microsoft Store Log
Recommend rebooting to see if that helps like it did this poor luser.
If that doesn't help, nuke and pave, baby!

That's what I eventually did, and it helped.

Reboot the luser or the PC?

Good $localGoverningBody, it's taken an order of magnitude to "reset" Windows than it would to just fucking wipe the drive and install clean.
What the hell?

Apparently you never met Windows 8.
As bad as Windows 11 is, it is still usable if you spend some time unfucking all the things that Microsoft has fucked.
Windows 8 was just terrible and unusable.

Fortunately, no. If there is nothing else good about 10/11, it is that I need never touch 8.

8 was terrible, 8.1 mostly fixed it. ME and Vista were still worse though.

@loopback0 Vista was unfinished but usable (if you didn’t have hardware that was certified for Vista but really shouldn’t have been). ME was terrible. It’s like they took 98 with all its faults and bugs, then added an RNG that triggered a blue screen every 7 minutes on average.

That's why ME stand for Mistake Edition

Interestingly I think 8/8.1 would have been better received with the full screen launcher type stuff if they'd transitioned from 7 to 10 to 8 with a clear and present roadmap of bringing together desktop and smaller form factors - the shitshow that was 8's principle downfall was the trying to ape Apple's ongoing unification plans (see MacOS Snow Leopard and Lion, and Launchpad/Mission Control as a gradual step towards unifying the MacOS and iOS launchers from which Windows 8 clearly took some cues)
The problem is that they didn't gradually introduce the changes they were hoping to in a boiling frog way but made the entire jump. (Of course, in the interim, Apple has apparently given up on anything resembling that because they have no actual trajectory in a post-Jobs world)
But if you look at everything from 8 onwards, it was clear they're trying to out-Apple Apple, but with no understanding of why Apple did anything or why any of it worked for Apple.

ME was terrible. It’s like they took 98 with all its faults and bugs, then added an RNG that triggered a blue screen every 7 minutes on average.
From Windows 3.0 to the present, ME is the only version that I never used. Somehow I skipped over it.
The biggest problem with Vista was it had some significant differences from previous Windows versions and a lot of companies dragged their feet releasing new Vista-compatible versions of their programs.
For example, the Anti-Virus program I was using at the time wouldn't run on Vista and the vendor was still promising a new Vista-compatible version ... "soon" ... 6 months after Vista's general release. I finally just changed to a different AV program. Some of Vista's bad reputation was from things that weren't really Microsoft's fault.
But Microsoft has made up for it since then, and they have done lots of things that ARE their fault.

Also the driver ABI changed significantly and manufacturers had to suddenly write less shit drivers, and the lack of good drivers at first plus Vista being sold on underpowered gear basically doomed it.
