  1. Can’t go back to Windows 10 after updating to Windows 11


    As the title says. Yesterday, so within 10 days, I updated to Windows 11. In settings I can’t see the option “go back”, only “reset this pc” and “advanced startup”. How can I go back to Windows 10?

    :)

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK

    Can’t go back to Windows 10 after updating to Windows 11

    Microsoft to make Windows 10 updates mandatory

    Well, at the moment at least, you can choose to defer upgrades. Under Settings > Windows Updates > Advanced options you need to check the box labeled "Defer upgrades". What does that do? Good question. The answer I've found might illuminate it to a degree.

    Manage updates in Windows - Microsoft Support

    I hear this only applies to Pro and Enterprise editions. But I can't verify that.
