MicrosoftJays2Cents4Free Thanks for the feedback. We've actually found that many of these issues can be solved by user comms or training. We have a Windows 11 Adoption Kit that can help with this. The Onboarding Kit can be found and downloaded here: Download Windows 11 Onboarding Kit from Official Microsoft Download Center
For the Taskbar and systray feedback, it's common feedback that we receive. I ask that you add that to Feedback Hub [WIN KEY]+f. Our product groups do pay attention to the feedback.
Thanks!
Joe_Lurie"Use comms and training" is not a solution for missing features. It can help with the bad UX, but it doesn't make people happy and still leads to loss of productivity and a burden on our Help Desk. And still, there's no amount of communications that can replace missing functionality.
I provided the feedback in the Feedback Hub 2+ years ago when I first tried Windows 11. I've continued to check with every release and no changes. Further, I came to these Office Hours hoping to reach someone that will pay attention to the concern of IT administrators. There's a reason that administrators aren't updating company fleets and it isn't just old hardware. Giving us the brush off with "send it in the feedback hub" is a good way to encourage us to keep our entire company fleets on Windows 10, which is still my plan. We will have to migrate by EOL, but you're losing many loyal customers that were Windows advocates for years.
I strongly suggest that you reconsider adding a "Windows 10 Start, Taskbar, and Systray" option with all of the features and functions from Windows 10. Without a continuity of experience, our dissatisfied users are increasingly requesting Macs and we're increasingly allowing it.
