"The solution’s pricing could be improved.""A significant drawback is its cost for the hardware requirements that is important for optimal performance which makes it less accessible and potentially impractical for many users globally.""In terms of improvement, I have noticed some latency issues when loading large Excel or Word files.""Windows 11's pricing needs improvement. Additionally, its integration capabilities with other systems could be better.""When I was using Winsel, a tool for the existing purpose, and completing the purpose of that is to complete the file, it would show an error and ask me to purchase the product. But now, instead of giving the product, we have a patch to loop the tool. This happened via dot key dot shared and dot bat solutions. So, that kind of convenience has not been provided in Windows 11.""My problem with Windows 11 stems from the fact that I have to update it every other day.""The solution's stability can be improved.""I have noticed a difference in audio option."
