So I posted how I "upgraded" to Win 11.
I am now going to roll back to Win 10. Here's why:
- The loss of the USB connected devices continues. I have no choice but to reboot.
- Now, when Win starts up and I log in, it's gets stuck with "Preparing Windows". A Google search shows this to be a common issue.
So, now I can't use my PC. I'll reboot into Safe Mode and revert.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
Everything makes sense in someone's mind.
Ya can't fix stupid.

The last good OS from MickySoft was 7
It's been down hill ever since.

From my experience with Visual Studio 2017 and Windows 10, Windows 11 will be stable/usable once Windows 12 comes out and they stop adding new features to break it.

Thanks for the warning! I'll wait updating then.

A clean install seems to be a safer option. Clone existing drive, format, reinstall. If it goes south, restore the clone.
And so much for W11 being W10 reskinned, seems they fiddled a lot under the hood to break things.

Oh yes! One example (I upgraded last week but don't have the USB-connection issues) is that somehow IIS was not able to run websites anymore from a random folder.
I specifically had to give NTFS read/write/execute persmissions to the IIS_IUSR account - or something similar - for that folder to get the site up and running from VS 2019.

Why? you already know that
a) Every other Windows version has to be skipped. XP good, Vista goof, 7 good, 8 goof, 10 good-ish, 11... goof.
b) Every software should be let simmer at least 6 months before being breaten into functionality. Even during the times of updates shipped by CD there were situation like these, see Windows 98 2nd Edition (AKA 'I said standby, not crash and die') and Windows 95 OSR2.

You may remember this thread from the lounge: New way of firing employees[^]
Seems he followed it up by calling the laid-off "lazy" and "thieves", which is nice.
Then he apologized for the way he did it, which probably makes it all right with the jobless 900.
Except ... CEO who fired 900 staff on Zoom sparks mass resignation of three execs - with more expected[^]
I wouldn't call "three" a "mass", but that's journalism for you. I can agree with the departees - I wouldn't want to be involved with him either.

The guy sounds like a real ass. I'm betting many more jump ship.

Hmmm... maybe I shouldn't join this meeting which just popped up.

Garg has done this at least once before, so no one should accept his "apology". I hope every single senior executive leaves his company.

This guy appears to have shot himself in the foot. Good luck with the SPAC funding.

I can see him "leaving for new opportunities" sometime in the near future.

A lot of CEOs are high functioning psychopaths. Sounds like he's one.

We're talking about the company leadership, three (in a day, from the looks of it) is a big number.
Cheers,

Oh very good, I was nowhere with this one.

 TBH I don't think Azure is much better. I've not used AWS since the very early days, but would bet that's 'up there' too!

I've spent two (three?) elephanting days trying to write code to communicate with a TFT display over an 8 bit parallel bus and have gotten absolutely nowhere.
I even have a reference implementation someone else wrote that works that I've been following.
I went as far as to log every time a pin went high and low, and compared the output of theirs with mine, and am not seeing any significant differences.
I'm completely flummoxed. This is some nonsense. I rarely have this much difficulty with code.
The problem is there's no decent debugger, so everything has to be logged, but it's time sensitive too (i think). Then there's the fact that I have a layer to do the 8-bit bus I/O (software bit banging the pins on and off) and then built on top of that are the actual display drivers, and the trouble is there's just a lot of complicated code that all has to work right before you get *anything* to show up on the display.
I'm just airing this because sometimes putting a problem out in the world makes a solution come to me.

Forgive me in advance but you have a logic analyzer to watch the bus right?
If you don't, beg, borrow or steal one.
