I just got a new windows 11 computer. I have never been harassed this much over logins, passwords pop up sales pitches that screw up and lock me out. I hate them. They make you sign in over and over and then tell you your password isn’t found. I even had it written down. Luckily I have a backup hard drive.

The hackers are better than microsoft.

I may go back to my old windows 8.5 laptop.

Yeah, Windows 11 takes extra-special care to make logins ridiculously difficult if you lose a pin and password.

I bought a used W11 computer a few months ago and it seems barely different from W10, I set it to skip sign-in and haven’t seen any pop-ups, ads, sign-in notices, or such.

Have you looked into the settings and googled some solutions and conveniences?
