kifirefox Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 I want to use Windows 11, but not this year, I'll save it for next year. Want to know when Windows 11 will be stable to use? Wait as many months until they fix bugs that appear, don't keep updating too much, etc. because I'm not the type that keeps updating Windows if I don't have any errors, bugs, etc. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1412946-when-will-windows-11-be-stable-and-bug-free-to-use/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick H. Supervisor Posted November 16, 2021 Supervisor Share Posted November 16, 2021 "Stable" is relative. It depends on how you use your computer. For example, I am on Windows 10 at the moment and the crashes that I experience are incredibly few and far between. Due to that and a complete lack of interest in Windows 11, I'll probably stay on Windows 10 until they stop supporting it in 2025 and see what options are around. One thing that none of us are ever able to do is wait until all the bugs are fixed. Operating Systems fall out of support before that goal is achieved. +Raze, Jose_49 and +primortal 3 Share Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1412946-when-will-windows-11-be-stable-and-bug-free-to-use/#findComment-598691102 Share on other sites More sharing options...
rabalupe Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 May I ask why you want to use Windows 11 ? Which features are you interested in? I will stay with Windows 10 until games/apps runs faster on Windows 11.

Jose_49 Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 I remember I've been an avid Windows 10 user since 2014 as I did find the OS added me more value than anything else. If you want to use Windows 11, go ahead and use it. I don't think you'll run into many issues (although it will depend on the programs you use). I love to beta test the OSes (I have running Win 11 in a separate machine), they aren't as bad as people tend to make them. From my experience, the Insider Preview program is stable (I've found not that many hiccups, although mileage may vary) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1412946-when-will-windows-11-be-stable-and-bug-free-to-use/#findComment-598691111 Share on other sites More sharing options...

shockz Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 I'm using 11 as my daily driver for both work and personal. It's not up to par yet. Particularly for start and taskbar functionality. I still have a terrible time trying to use search from taskbar or start menu. Only works half the time. Different systems too. I'd wait until either the next feature update... or 6 months. Whatever comes first. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1412946-when-will-windows-11-be-stable-and-bug-free-to-use/#findComment-598691122 Share on other sites More sharing options...
adrynalyne Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 I'm going back to 10 as soon as I get time. IMO, it needs another release (what is in dev to go to release) to be baked enough to be worth it. On 16/11/2021 at 14:13, shockz said: I'm using 11 as my daily driver for both work and personal.

Jim K Global Moderator Posted November 16, 2021 Global Moderator Share Posted November 16, 2021 Yea, imma gonna take awhile before I update to 11. I have yet seen a compelling reason to upgrade...and it seems to be more trouble (for lack of a better word) than it's worth. Might give it a year or so...

Dadwen Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 Right as they release windows 12 (somewhat joking) its been somewhat stable but I've not put it on my daily drivers yet just test PC's. I don't like the interface enough to use it full time and it's not a good test of how it runs it if I have to replace\add-on\reg-hack my way to make it likable for me.

Brandon H Supervisor Posted November 16, 2021 Supervisor Share Posted November 16, 2021 I'm running it as a daily driver on my HTPC and laptop at home. my only complaint is the floating tooltip issue on the taskbar as far as bugs go. the new start menu works fine on the media PC but I have Start11 on my laptop for the Windows 10 start menu as I make use of the pinning in categories on there.

FijiSun Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 IMO, it won't be stable until several months after the official release and when oems start shipping with 11. They can only do so much with insiders IMO. If you want a plug and play experience wait some time after MS ships the product.

spacelordmaster Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 I tried Windows 11 today on a machine with 16GB of RAM, an 11th Gen Intel i7 CPU, a dedicated GPU AND A 512 GB SSD drive and I can tell you that it is so buggy and sluggish compared to windows 10 it’s not even funny.

erpster3 Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 well MS did silently posted updated Win11 ISOs from the Win11 download page that contain build 22000.318 (even the Win11 media creation tool downloads & creates install media w/ at least 22000.318) in late November than the somewhat buggy 22000.194 build released in early October so things are a little more stable with Win11 on my end; heck I even installed Win11 on some old unsupported systems (don't ask how or why) that have the updated .318 or newer build and things seem to be working fine Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1412946-when-will-windows-11-be-stable-and-bug-free-to-use/#findComment-598699019 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Interesting you say that. I had the same issue and put it down to having different size monitor as my dual screen setup. However, one day Task Manager decided it wasn't going to show the full process list anymore, so I did a clean install and it's been just fine since with no random tooltips showing up. My previous install was via windows update to Windows 11 from Windows 10. Anyway, that seems to have fixed the toolbar issue. Also, Doom 3 from the Windows store is now working as well.
