I downgraded from Windows 11 back to Windows 10 (using the same product key). Windows 10 doesn't have new automatic updates anymore (unless the IoT version is used) or for a paid subscription.
The problems downgrading has fixed:
- PC no longer loses ethernet connection when running the cloudflare turnstile (captcha detection).
- PC no longer requires a hard shutdown to reboot or shutdown.
- Arduino v1 IDE is nearly instant to compile vs serveral minutes on Win 11.
- UI and feature restore programs (WindHawk, ExplorerPatcher, Winhance, Winaero Tweaker) no longer needed to bring Win 10 features back to Win 11.
- No weird Windows file explorer crashes.
- No more forced reboots.
- No more "features updates" that seem like beta tests on regular production systems.
- OS and GUI is not running as a virtual machine inside the Hypervisor.
Perhaps Windows 11 will be looked upon like Vista and Window 8 when the next version of Windows is launched.
