The progress bar in Windows 10 differs from that in Windows 11.
The progress bar in Win10 (e.g., during downloads or file copying) feels different compared to Win11, and I'm not quite used to it. Is this a system setting, or can it be changed back to the Win10 style?

Windows 11 has a complete new design and this is normal.
By default, the style of progress bars during file operations (like downloads, copying, or installing updates) is tied to the system's visual design and user interface elements. Windows doesn't provide a built-in setting to revert the progress bar style to the Windows 10 appearance directly.
Officially, Windows 11 doesn’t offer a built-in setting to revert the progress bars to the Windows 10 style. The new progress indicator is integrated into the system design, and Microsoft has focused on a more minimal, animated approach.
