With the end of support for Windows 10 last October, the transition to Windows 11 hasn’t been as smooth as Microsoft might have hoped, with performance issues, bugs, and unpopular features eroding users’ trust in the dominant operating system. Sources cited by The Verge say Microsoft is working on improving the core experience, hoping to regain users’ trust as more PC users than ever have defected to Linux.
Windows engineers have reportedly been set to tackle the operating system’s most pressing issues over the coming months, after Windows 11 has seen persistent instances of disruptive bugs and performance issues.
“The feedback we’re receiving from our community of passionate customers and Windows Insiders has been clear. We need to improve Windows in ways that are meaningful for people,” said Microsoft’s president of Windows and devices, Pavan Davuluri, in a statement to The Verge. “This year you will see us focus on addressing pain points we hear consistently from customers: improving system performance, reliability, and the overall experience of Windows. Trust is earned over time and we are committed to building it back with the Windows community.”
