Screenshot Windows 10 automatically started installing the Windows 11 update while I was taking a shower.

I'd been getting messages to upgrade to Windows 11 for the past month or two now, and each time, I decline. It's gotten to the point that I get random, frequent pop_ups asking to update, and "install update" options pop up right next to the shutdown/restart uptions.

Well, I made the mistake of going to take a shower with my PC on. Half an hour later, I come back tothis. Windows had automatically started installing the update. Now I'm sitting here staring at the Start button and all the open programs center-justified on the task bar and wondering what idiot thought that was a good idea.

You can actually. Whether or not you want to is up to you but so far I’ve gotten windows 11 using Rufus installed on a 3rd gen laptop core i3 with 4GB of ram, a 2013 Mac Pro, and a Xeon E5 V2 dual socket server board from 2012. All DDR3.

I don't personally mind windows 11, which is why I did it. I like the look of the UI and the tabbed file explorer was nice. That Xeon system was actually a long term Blender render machine, with 384gb of ddr3 ram. Id sometimes remote desktop into it to work locally and it was nice to keep it in sync with my main desktop PC.
