"although Microsoft may provide exceptions to the TPM 2.0 requirement for OEMs" needs a citation 89.200.43.139 (talk) 11:24, 10 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Two references for this already exist in the System requirements section. Winderz IoT (talk) 04:08, 8 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The "editions" section is factually inaccurate

The "editions" section of the article falsely claims that Windows 11 has three editions only (Home, Pro, and SE). I can see more editions on Microsoft's website.

While I wouldn't say the article falsely claims that there are only three editions, any reference to those other editions is nonetheless indeed missing from the article. I've added these to a new Other editions subsection. Thanks for pointing this out. Winderz IoT (talk) 03:56, 8 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question

When the heck does Windows 11 end support? 2603:6011:C800:4650:54A7:AA78:C73F:BF8C (talk) 18:17, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Currently, unknown/TBD. I imagine it will be formally announced sometime after the release of Windows 12. That being said, if previous versions of Windows are anything to go by, it'll probably be late 2031/early 2032 (approximately 10 years after release). Winderz IoT (talk) 03:37, 8 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Efficiency mode

The article should say a few words about the (anti-)efficiency mode introduced with Windows 11, which is activated for certain applications without being asked, cannot be turned off permanently, switches back on automatically even after manual deactivation, and throttles performance down to the level of a 10-year-old school laptop, even on absolute high-end systems, in some affected applications. Maxeto0910 (talk) 05:25, 4 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

New editor added POV and paraphrased an almost identical copy of an external article

@OPeditor: Special:Diff/1249544201 violates WP:NPOV tone and is paraphrasing the original source, potentially foul of WP:PARAPHRASE. (This article is semi-protected.) 84.250.15.152 (talk) 15:00, 6 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

-In reference to this passage in the lede:
-{{tq|"Windows 11 has received a mixed reception. Pre-release coverage of the operating system focused on its stricter hardware requirements, with discussions over whether they were legitimately intended to improve the security of Windows or as a ploy to upsell users to newer devices..."}}
+== Question ==
-It seems that the "ploy to upsell users to newer devices" is only the tip of the iceberg.  Recently I was helping a friend with her purchase of a new laptop, which came with Windows 11 installed. Previously she had always used the Firefox Browser, as do I, so I recommended downloading the install application from the Firefox website, as she wanted to transfer bookmarks that took years to accumulate. When I attempted to install Firefox, a Microsoft message window popped up and said there was no need for other browsers because Windows 11 comes with Microsoft's browser [[Microsoft Edge]]. Okay, so I ignored the message and continued to try and install Firefox, but got these run around messages trying to lead me into setting up some other kind of account, and ultimately I simply could not install Firefox.
+When the heck does Windows 11 end support? [[Special:Contributions/2603:6011:C800:4650:54A7:AA78:C73F:BF8C|2603:6011:C800:4650:54A7:AA78:C73F:BF8C]] ([[User talk:2603:6011:C800:4650:54A7:AA78:C73F:BF8C|talk]]) 18:17, 24 May 2024 (UTC)
-Also, it seems more and more Windows is being dumbed down and tailored for online shoppers, video-gamers and media minded users. For example, 'Window Explorer', where you can see an outline of one's folders, has been dumbed down in its search capacity. Before Windows 10, you could confine your search to a date range of files, say from 2017 to 2018, but now what they give us are options to search "this week", and "last week", "this year", and "last year", with no provisions to define a date range search.
+:Currently, unknown/TBD. I imagine it will be formally announced sometime after the release of Windows 12. That being said, if previous versions of Windows are anything to go by, it'll probably be late 2031/early 2032 (approximately 10 years after release). [[User:Winderz IoT|Winderz IoT]] ([[User talk:Winderz IoT|talk]]) 03:37, 8 June 2024 (UTC)
-Re: 'Cut-paste' and 'copy-paste': Before one could simply block text, or select a file, right click and select the cut or copy function, go to the target page or folder and simply select 'paste'. Now to select cut, copy and paste you have to select a file,  right click, and then, to use any of these basic functions, you have to select 'other options' and make the selection there. Very tedious when trying to manage or transfer dozens of individual files.
+== Efficiency mode ==
-It would seem problems like these are going to be among some of the criticisms that Windows 11 will be receiving, and should be noted in the ''Reception'' section. I realize, however, that reliable sources to this effect would be required, so it seems criticisms like these have a remote chance of making it into the article. Hopefully I'm wrong on that account. -- [[User:Gwillhickers|''Gwillhickers'']] ([[User talk:Gwillhickers |talk]]) 00:21, 17 July 2022 (UTC)

-:Cut, copy and paste are the first three options in the right-click context menu (the top row). You might not have noticed them because they are flat icons now, not text.[[Special:Contributions/2405:201:F010:408A:A525:11E0:67DC:1C3C|2405:201:F010:408A:A525:11E0:67DC:1C3C]] ([[User talk:2405:201:F010:408A:A525:11E0:67DC:1C3C|talk]]) 10:34, 29 September 2022 (UTC)
