Windows 11 upgrade blamed for user’s input delay
After updating to Windows 11 version 26H2, a user reported it took 20 minutes to install a language input tool—something that took just 2 minutes on Windows 10. The user said this delay, which happened while urgently searching for details about a family member’s illness, pushed him to switch back to Windows 10. The story is getting outsized attention online, but it shows Windows 11 updates can still trip up basic needs when time’s tight.
- User faced 20-minute wait using Windows 11 input tool
- Same process took 2 minutes on Windows 10
- Delay occurred during a medical emergency search
- User reverted to Windows 10 after incident
