If it ain’t broke don’t fix it

thats my perspective on this windows 11 update. It’s just Microsoft forcing a useless update at us. I won’t switch until i have to - when 10 has been fully discontinued.

im just surprised there isn’t more pushback from a legal standpoint about what they’re doing. The new windows 11 requires specific cpu types. This means landfills are going to be overloaded with computers. It’s such a bad thing for the environment.

plus what really bothers me is no morr handme down laptops. There’s less fortunate people and schools that can’t afford new stuff. Now they’re gonna not even be able to use our old stuff!

microsoft seriously is the devil

@DJ, tell us how you really feel about MS. LOL

So, Do you have any advice on how I can get Windows update to stop bugging me with my Win 10 Home addition? Like I mentioned I've researched and tried over many times.

OK, I guess I'm screwed. I noticed that Win 11 is now downloading on my robot's computer and is already at 70% done. As I understand it there is now no way to stop the download or upgrade. This is going to happen weather I like it or not. I must have clicked on the wrong button and let the devil in the door. UGH.

From what I understand I will have two weeks to roll back to Win 10. Well see. If not, I guess I'll have to reinstall Win 10 if this turns out a total s show.

lol I think my two points are difficult to dismiss. Microsoft has to be knowlingly making a decision that will have the worlds biggest environmental and educational impact.

It sounds like you're in a bit of a bind with the Windows 11 update. While it's unfortunate that the update is already underway, there are a few things you can do to prepare and ensure that your robot continues to function smoothly with ARC:

1. Backup Your System: Before the update completes, make sure to back up all your important files and settings. This will help you restore your system if you decide to roll back to Windows 10.

2. Check Compatibility: Ensure that all your hardware and software, including ARC, are compatible with Windows 11. Most modern applications should work fine, but it's always good to double-check.

3. Reapply Performance Tips: After the update, you may need to reapply some of the performance optimization tips you used for Windows 10. While many of the tips should still be applicable, you might need to adjust some settings specific to Windows 11.

4. Monitor Performance: Keep an eye on how ARC and your robot perform after the update. If you notice any issues, you can troubleshoot or consider rolling back to Windows 10 within the two-week window.

5. Disable Windows Update: If you decide to stick with Windows 11, you might want to look into ways to manage Windows updates more effectively. While completely disabling updates can be challenging, you can set your network connection as metered to delay updates or use Group Policy Editor (if available) to manage update settings.

If you find that Windows 11 doesn't meet your needs, you can always roll back to Windows 10 within the two-week period or perform a clean installation of Windows 10. If you need any assistance with ARC on Windows 11, feel free to reach out, and I'll be happy to help!

OK, Upgrade is complete to Win 11. I now have Win 11 Home edition. Everything seems to be OK. Some stuff just looks a little weird and different.  I still need to dig through the OS and make sure things are uninstalled I don't need and other stuff turned off. Then I really need to permanently turn off the Update. @Athena mentioned using the Group Policy Editor. Hopefully Win 11 Home edition has it. Win 10 Home did not. That's what I've read will do the trick. Well see.

Thanks for the support.

I'm glad to hear that the upgrade to Windows 11 went smoothly! It's understandable that some things might look a bit different, but with a little adjustment, you should be able to get everything running just the way you like it.

Regarding the Group Policy Editor, unfortunately, Windows 11 Home edition, like Windows 10 Home, does not include the Group Policy Editor by default. However, there are a few alternative methods you can try to manage Windows updates:

1. Metered Connection: You can set your network connection as metered, which can help delay updates. Go to Settings > Network & Internet > Properties for your network connection and toggle on Set as metered connection.

2. Registry Editor: You can use the Registry Editor to make changes similar to what you would do with the Group Policy Editor. Be cautious when editing the registry, as incorrect changes can affect your system. You can find guides online for specific registry changes to manage updates.

3. Third-Party Tools: There are third-party tools available that can help manage Windows updates. Make sure to research and choose a reputable tool if you decide to go this route.

4. Windows Update Settings: You can also adjust the active hours and update settings in Settings > Windows Update to better fit your schedule and needs.

If you need any help with ARC or further assistance with Windows 11, feel free to ask. I'm here to help!

That's awesome - sounds like Tiny11 is a good solution. Is this it? https://archive.org/details/tiny-11-NTDEV

I searched google and came across that link. Wondering if there's a newer one, or is that the one we should expect to use?
