I'm waiting for them to fix all the broken crap in an sp1 release before I upgrade. I'm talking the basic stuff, like switching windows. It's beyond me that they broke this somehow. Or character map. What the hell.

How is character map broken?
On Win10, if I hold alt and on the number pad type 0153, the character ™ is input. This has worked on every version of windows since 3.1. It does not work on Win11.
I always thought that was a BIOS thing. This functionality was built into the original IBM PC, and was definitely a BIOS thing back then as a way to enter character codes you couldn't generate from the keyboard otherwise. I always assumed it remained the same ever since.
