It still complains about the pointless firewall being off (I have a real one and the included one only needed if you have direct mobile modem, or at a public Wifi*) despite notification settings and Update has always an advert for Win11 that tells me the PC does not meet the spec. A deal with land fill owners & PC makers?

Also frequently takes ages to shut down or start due to applying upgrades. Upgrade system terrible compared to XP. Also doesn't ask if I want except for some, yet some break.

My newest Laptop from Lenovo came with no OS.


[*Best to have a VPN server in office or at home for using Public WiFi now due to MiM attacks which make the firewall pointless]
