    Anthony you will probably never see this, but you are hands down my favorite LTT employee. Your growth and comfort in front of the camera has not gone unnoticed.
  • The "see more" menu pretty much sums up what i HATE about the Windows user experience. They never include everything in their new-fangled apps and menus so they have to send you to the older implementation that it was supposed to replace. It just breaks whatever illusion of seamlessness you may have had.
  • During initial setup, there needs to be an option: ( ) Install touch features. (X) Do not install any touch features.
  • @hangman4011
    The part that kills me (and my workflow) is the 7zip and folder icon changes. I deal with zipping and unzipping folders all day long, so adding more steps to it will add so much more time. And the rounded corners just worry me. I like the squared look, rounded edges just don't seem to make sense for me with rectangular monitors.
  • @ScrungleGaming
    The fact theyve hidden some of my most used right click options (rename, winrar, 7zip) behind another click infuriates me on a level I did now know I had in me. For real this feels like minimalism for the sake of minimalism and is why I hate modern design
  • @xorinzor
    Still absolutely hate that it requires you to click the "show more options" in the context menu, rather then making it configurable.
  • This is the first time I’ve owned a computer during a windows update cycle, and I can say that this is so frustrating. So much stuff I’ve gotten used to is now gone or hidden behind some setting
  • @kstaxman2
    One well done video. Anthony you are great at keeping things easy to follow and you explained so much more in the same time most of the other reviewers do. And your controlled and professional delivery are a joy. Thank you!
  • @BragonGod
    I guess we'll never get an official file explorer tabs
  • @cadcock15
    Changing the right cluck menu and hiding the older one under advanced is probably my most hated thing.
  • Hello guys. Just adding my two cents. So custom widgets / notification services are certainly possible but this is on a per-app basis, an app generally requests to show on the side pane. I love the in-depth, unbiased views. It is great to see you run through fairly standard requirements of a PC and check they are working correctly. The 7Zip issue is deffs annoying
  • @4413jack
    A few big cons about windows 11 for me would be, you currently can't change the taskbar size, and when you have the taskbar set to auto hide it sometimes doesn't work or pop up when you mouse over it. Hopefully these things would be fixed when more people start using windows 11.
  • @himothaniel
    Microsoft be like "Oh they didn't like that one. Let's tweak it just a little." But also "Oh they liked that one, change everything."
  • @pam0077
    Windows is like your local grocery store. Once you learn everything it has, everything gets reorganized and things you liked get replaced with things you don't
  • @robatty143
    14:31 me after gapping minivans only to be stopped at a 2 minute red light
  • @miraak542
    My main questions are "Is Cortana still a forced integration" and "Will the Microsoft Store constantly download apps I don't want to my PC despite my removing all permissions"...
  • I love how all the comments turn wholesome when Anthony is hosting lol. He really is a cool guy, I can’t help it either honestly. 😂👍
  • U can see the task manager and other options by rightclicking the winfows logo in the taskbar
  • @Weckacore
    I remember going to microcenter as a kid, honestly surprised its still around but many fond memories
