your windows 11 thoughts (self.Blind)
submitted by rory-games
Hello,
It has been about a month since the release of windows 11.
I am fully blind (very competent with nvda, can get by reasonably well with jaws as well).
What are your thoughts on windows 11 with either of these two screen readers and beyond - obviously, are there any deal-breaking accessibility issues?
As a budding android dev I think WSA sounds interesting not to mention the updates to WSL which I have been using for years alongside my trusty ubuntu VM.
I have heard the RAM usage is quite high as well. Is this true?
I think I may wait to update anyway. Apparently it doesn't really work with Ryzen processors very well and that's the one I have on this computer.
So what are your thoughts regarding accessibility? Anything to know? And other things in general, too; go nuts
Edit: typos and spelling

As a computer geek I suggest NO ONE update to Windows 10 till at least its a nice age of 1 year so all the bugs can be rooted out. Anything prior will make you the guinea pig and annoyed.

I'm waiting 2 years at least, or maybe until W10 is EOL.

“In chess, the pawns move first.”
I have worked in tech-support for three decades now, and with assistive technology for almost a decade and a half. I won’t say “never”, however the times when it was advantageous to have been first in line have been vanishingly few and far between. Especially when dealing with clients who use assistive technology, I recommend waiting at least a year after a major thing (Not counting small increments or updates) has been released before attempting the move to the new shiny.

I will happily wait for all of the bugs to be squashed. Windows 11 has released in an unacceptable state.

The accessibility is pretty much the same as in windows 10 but I personally encountered a pretty annoying bug, with the alt tab, it literally freaz and when I press the enter K in chrome no other nvda functions works, I updated nvda, I uptated the windows 11 instalation, the bug was pretty present.
the performance was ok, for a unsuported computer, I used the replace a normal windows 10 instalation install.win file with a windows 11 install.win file in order to upgrade witouth a issue.
I suggest you to remain on windows 10 until this OS will recive more updates, for a momen is a liitle bit buggy.

I have not upgraded yet. My home machine says I can upgrade, but I don't see any features I need.
