Windows 11 has got to be the worst Operating System I've ever used in my life

I agree. I have been using Windows 11 since day one and I have always tried to be optimistic about new features, updates and even occasional glitches. But I think I have had enough.
Here are some things that used to work but are now broken on Windows 11:
- Snipping tool. Once a screenshot is captured a notification would pop up to let the user process that screenshot. After one of the latest updates, that only works on the forth attempt for some reason unknown.
- (New) Outlook and Teams. Both are great examples of a badly designed application with a cluttered interface, incomprehensible functionality and really slow performance.
- Start menu. Version 25H2 of Windows 11 can proud itself of having the worst Start menu of all time and the sluggiest one, too. Generally speaking, the Start menu never was of much value to me and I do prefer the Spotlight of macOS over it.
- Updates. The whole Windows Update process is a mess. Most of the time, any new update either breaks things instead of fixing them or pushes unwanted features such as worthless AI or malware-bound news widgets.
- Settings. The struggle to get rid of the Control Panel in favor of the ill-designed Settings would even make George Lucas jealous of how long an ordeal can last.
Windows users need to speak up and their voices must be heard.
