Microsoft Admits Windows 11 Has a Trust Problem, Promises To Focus on Fixes in 2026
“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,” Pavan Davuluri, president of Windows and devices, told The Verge…”Trust is earned over time and we are committed to building it back with the Windows community,” Davuluri said.
And the perfect reply by crunchy_one in the comments:
I don’t believe Microsoft understands fully what would be “meaningful” to their customers. How about removing the Microsoft account requirement, removing the telemetry, removing the ads, removing the AI, removing the cloud integration, removing the bloat? How about giving customers real control, like being able to turn off updates. That would be meaningful.
