I do and am quite happy. No plans to "upgrade".

If there are that many people showijpng off their snakes on FB I'm glad I'm not on FB.

I use InControl from Gibson Research. It permits security updates but not feature updates until I want them. https://www.grc.com/incontrol.htm

Same here...no issues.

No damage. With rare exceptions our desktop has been powered on continuously since August of 2021.

100% agree. Our Win11 laptop is locked on 23H2 and will stay there unless and until. https://www.grc.com/incontrol.htm

I've been using IObit software (Advanced System Care Pro, Malware Fighter Pro) for years. No issues. But I believe in a layered defense so I also use Defender and Malware Bytes.

Our desktop has several partitions. I inadvertently deleted several folders on one of those partitions. I was able to do a complete restore of those folders within minutes from our iDrive cloud backup.

I've been the recipient of one or two of those over the years. I just do an ordely shut down, wait a few minutes, do a re-start and then run Defender and the other anti-malware suites i have. None have identified any malware.

I uss iDrive cloud backup as one method of my overall backup scheme but not the only method.

We've been using Intuit checks on Quicken for years. Strongly recommemded.

I use pdfReDirect. Reads and creates PDFs. http://www.exp-systems.com/

Our desktop is on Win10 and I have no intention of migrating it to Win11. Perfectly happy with it the way it is. I found and use InControl from Gibson Research. It blocks 'feature upgrades' but not 'security upgrades". GRC | InControl

Haven't done that on my Win11 laptop but when I plug in my iPhone 13 into my Win10 desktop I see the phone when I open File Explorer the phone is there but it's not named iPhone. Try that.
