how do i stop downloading and installing windows 11

I'm not going to use Windows 11 and I did change my registry so it can not ever run on my computer without me changing it back.

Windows 11 continues to be a nightmare. I'm staying with Windows 10

I'm answering the question about why you wouldn't want to upgrade to windows 11. I've used every microsoft PC operating system from DOS onwards, so I have experience of pretty much every UI windows ever made, and other than DOS, windows 11 is the worst, by far.

Reminds me of the metro tiles shambles.

Update upgraded my surface, and the start menu is truly awful to use,. I have the same beef everyone has. Can't create groups of apps, resize etc. It is effectively an expanded search bar, and as such is a total disaster, pretty much an obstacle / unusable.

The menu options on file explorer hide core / basic options like copy and paste into an extras option, so every time you use the tools, oyu are wasthing multiple clicks.

I don't doubt all the options are there, if you can wade through the menu's. I don't have time for this, it is a disaster, and I'm desperate to avoid it getting onto my workstation, as it will destroy my productivity.

An absolute disaster..... no holds barred (and I'm a windows fan....)

Hello 👋

Disable the TPM on your computer UEFI settings.

To access it, click on Restart while you keep pressed Shift, then go to Troubleshooting > Advanced options > UEFI Firmware Settings, then click on Restart.

There is no other way than editing the registry. Did you not get the option to 'stay on Windows 10'? I never did which is why I had to edit the registry.

Did Windows 11 install or is it trying to install?

Why am I wasting my time dealing with windows trying to install the windows 11 virus on my computer? Someone from Microsoft tell us how to make this stop happening without editing the directory. Window 11 is a spyware nightmare for users and eliminates the main advantage windows has against IOS other than price.
