I’m just going to point that out:
My Windows 8 laptop with 8GB of RAM and a USB hub with a dozen devices on it cold boots FASTER than my Windows 11 laptop with 16GB of RAM and no devices attached to it, WAKING UP.
Barely faster, but still. Twice as much RAM, waking up, still slower. That’s so messed up.
I think the most beautiful thing about Windows 8 in 2022 is that I don’t have to worry about updates; I control them. I’m a grown man.
The stress of automatic updates is unbearable. Will my settings be gone? Did I save? Did it crash, what happened? I absolutely hate automatic updates.
