There’s a list but the main themes are the overall degradation in performance when they “upgraded” my PC from 10 to 11 and just how sloppy and half assed it seems to be. The obfuscated settings, the way it constantly seems to be putting itself in the way of whatever I’m trying to do, the spike of anger I get every time I open the start menu… Basically the overall experience just got worse by just about every measure. On the other hand they finally introduced tabs to file explorer and powershell a decade late so I guess there’s that… Even those are still worse than what 3rd party apps who don’t have billions to spend on development though.

I upgraded from 10 to 11 about 5 years ago, and there definitely is a learning curve. I would never go back to Windows 10. My experience was different, even PC’s that didn’t meet the 11 requirements ran better. I generally put my most used apps on the taskbar, and end up just searching for lesser used apps in the start menu. Not sure what you mean by ‘putting itself in the way’. Do you have an example of this?
