Leaks confirm low takeup for Windows 11::Time to rethink Windows 10 support cycle then?
Leaks confirm low takeup for Windows 11::Time to rethink Windows 10 support cycle then?
I went through all the trouble of enabling the UEFI/BIOS stuff I needed for the upgrade. Then I found out what they did to the taskbar and decided not to get it.
Last time I checked, the third highest voted feature request in the built-in feedback tool is to take the recommended section out of the start menu. A couple years after launch the best we got is the product manager saying “we added an option to reduce the size :)” So it’s definitely intended for advertising, and I don’t do advertising. The professional version used to allow people to customise away that kind of bullshit, but not on W11.
I use “StartIsBack” it’s so good. Makes the taskbar exactly how I want it (it’s customisable). I’ve got it functioning closer to Windows 7 but with the look of 11 but still keeping it thin. Well worth the money. Shame it required a third party app for me to really like 11 though.
The Windows 11 version is called StartAllBack and makes Windows 11 much better. Annoyed I had to pay for an upgrade but it was worth it
That might be the one I have, I think I just remembered it as startisback
