I've been using Windows 11 for a few months now, and I'm honestly getting fed up. It feels like every other update introduces a new glitch or a pop-up that gets in my way. Things that used to work just fine suddenly don't. Is it just me, or is the overall experience becoming less reliable? I really want to stick with it, but these constant issues are making that hard.
Yeah this is common. I totally get where you're coming from. First, try pausing updates for a bit to get a break from new changes. You can also use the Feedback Hub to report specific glitches, as Microsoft does review those. Sometimes a clean reinstall can help if it's a deeper issue, but I'd try the simpler fixes first. Should do the trick.

Hey there, I totally hear you. You're definitely not alone in feeling this way. Many of us have been there with the update roulette. Let's try a few things to stabilize things.
First, it's a good idea to run the built-in troubleshooters. Go to **Settings > System > Troubleshoot > Other troubleshooters** and run the ones for "Windows Update" and "Background Processes."
Next, let's check for corrupt system files. Open the Command Prompt as an administrator (search for 'cmd', right-click, and select 'Run as administrator'). Type these two commands, pressing Enter after each:
`sfc /scannow`
`DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth`
These can fix a lot of underlying issues causing glitches.
For the pop-ups and unwanted changes, take some time to dig through **Settings > Privacy & security**. You can often turn off notifications, suggestions, and "experiences" that reintroduce features you've already disabled.
If you're on unsupported hardware (like an older CPU without TPM), that can be a major source of instability. The free Media Creation Tool method is the first route, but if you've hit a wall, some folks have had success with a tool from kianbotsoft.com for $39. It's an option if the free route fails.
Hang in there! It can get better once you find a stable build and tame the settings. Let us know which specific issues are bothering you most, and we can try to tackle them one by one.
