I made the mistake of buying a Win 11 Pro laptop and despise the UI.

Taskbar icons are always combined and you can't change it. Also right click menu is mostly broken and/or changed for the worse. I hate it.

I can't believe a multi-billion dollar company can't just have a tickbox to keep the old UI that everyone knows?

Why have changes for no reason and more clicks needed?

That's an immediate no-go for me, why in the world are they sliding backwards in functionality?


Different strokes for different folks. I find the right click menu to be much better.


The right click menu is only a minor irritation, but it's the taskbar combining that I hate most. It's a massive step backwards.

Of course with the forced updates (that I also hate), they could change it at any time on a whim. Or change something else...
