So Microsoft’s promising to fix Windows 11. But in doing so are they just going to break it worse? Because recently it seems like a lot of their “fixes” have been the source of the problems. So today we are going to talk about what Microsoft plans to fix and how I think that’s going to effect Windows moving forward.
