More an annoyance than a bug, but for people that use the night color shifting, in Win10 it was a smooth transition between day and night colors. They found a way to crapify it in 11 by having it change colors right away, no more transition.

And they even found a way to break the news and interests feature if you move the start button to the left. If I hover the mouse over the widget on my main screen, it's OK. On my right monitor, it pops open on that monitor's left side. If I hover the mouse on the left monitor, it pops open at the right of the center monitor and stays there unless I go click it. Move the start button on the taskbar's center, everything works as it should.

Are they even testing updates? And why in the heck does it take 45 minutes to do a system restore? It's a 22-core Xeon running of an NVME...

My old z77 motherboard (with a 3770k) runs 11 fine. (no TPM, Secureboot or 8th gen cpu). My Xeon 2660V4 machine runs it too (again, no TPM or 8th gen CPU and Secureboot is disabled).

Hardware limitations are artificial, kinda like when Apple blacklisted Atom CPUs in order to prevent netbooks from booting Snow Leopard.

My hand-me-down LG Q6 is about 7 years old, and according to the phone's battery meter it's still good for 12-38 hours with medium power management (depending on how many calls I make in a day) But my mom isn't a big phone user. The flipphone it replaced (thank you Virgin/Bell and all others from preventing it from working around October '25) is probably around 10 years old and was in need of a new battery but still 3-4 hours of talk time.

So yes, batteries can last for more than 3 years depending on usage.
