Windows 11, Start button menu, make it show all apps by default
The easiest method is to simply press the Windows key and then type in the name of the desired software. Then press return and the desired program will start. It is a little bit more difficult to switch back to Windows 10. But I will definitely do it. DirectX 12 Ultimate is also available on Windows 10, otherwise Windows 11 has nothing that Windows 10 didn't already have (at least no absolutely necessary tools). The easiest way is to choose a Linux distro that has a user interface you like. Then just get to grips with Linux for a few weeks and you'll be much less annoyed afterwards.
Point completely missed!
Some programs offer a right-click menu in the start menu but this doesn't seem to work in the new 'wonderful' version.
It worked well before, until some graduate thought he/she knew better!

Exactly. Why do you change something the NO ONE asked for.

Who told you no one asked for it? That's a pretty narrow minded view of the situation. A lot of us might dislike it but we are not everyone.
