Windows 11 is the slowest Windows I've ever used, by far. Why do I have to wait 15-45 seconds to see my folders when I open explorer? If you have a slow or intermittent Internet connection it's literally unusable.

Even Windows 10 is literally unusable for me. When pressing the windows key it literally takes about 4 seconds until the search pops up, just for it to be literally garbage.

Found out about this while watching "Halt and Catch Fire" (AMC's effort to recreate the magic of Mad Men, but on the computer).

Doherty Threshold

In 1982 Walter J. Doherty and Ahrvind J. Thadani published, in the IBM Systems Journal, a research paper that set the requirement for computer response time to be 400 milliseconds, not 2,000 (2 seconds) which had been the previous standard. When a human being’s command was executed and returned an answer in under 400 milliseconds, it was deemed to exceed the Doherty threshold, and use of such applications were deemed to be “addicting” to users.

if it only occurs hours or days after boot, try killing the startmenuexperiencehost process. that's what I was doing until I switched to linux

I am using windows like once a week at maximum and then it only takes about 10 minutes. So I kind of do not really care and am glad, that I do not need to use it more often.

It takes forever to boot I know that and that's from fast food which is extra pathetic.

Maybe if Windows quit pigging out on tendies and slimmed down it would be as baf

The Windows bloat each new generation is way out of control.

Probably that's the folder explorer or whatever itself crashing.

yeah

and like why does it crash? it worked fine on Windows 10

I've given up trying to understand modern PC software. I can barely keep up with the little microcontrollers I work with. They aren't so little.
