As this is an “Ask anything” session: Windows 10 Start menu was highly criticized because of a lack of options/flexibility of the Start menu. When it finally reached a level which pleased most users, W11 came and threw this all away.
Why did Microsoft block the option (available via a registry setting in earlier Insiders Editions) to deploy the W10 menu? While most users will comply with what Microsoft thinks is good for users, mostly because of a lack of knowledge, why does Microsoft want to frustrate users with another opinion how to work efficiently, as if these are unwanted dissidents?
I will not use W11 until I have the option to modify my menu like in W10 and place the taskbar at the right site of my screen. Even if W10 isn’t supported anymore at some point of time.
