The new toolbar in Windows 11
Microsoft - it is really really poor practice to remove functionality that people use daily and have come to rely on.
It takes a long time to configure environments so they work for one and it would be nice to see a little more respect for your user base.
I have been a Windows user since version 3.1. It has been a long practice for Microsoft (Apple does it, too) to make usage decisions for us. I am a power user. Most of my Windows friends have never even used File Manager. So, Microsoft makes these changes to cater to the low-end "normal" user instead of the rest of us. It is absolutely a necessity to NOT remove the functionality that more powerful users rely on. Move these features around, but don't get rid of them.
I did leave out one step on my workaround:
Set it to a "Single Click" launch method.
