Windows 11
-
Last week I bought I desktop PC, an i9 Mini with Windows 11. I decided it was time to update my i5 Windows 10. I'm happy with the PC, an MSECORE Mini and was looking forward to any new Windows features. I was disappointed to say the least; Windows 11 seems to have dropped at least one major feature of Windows 10 that I use - taskbar toolbars. (I was able to restore that thanks to the GitHub folks). And other things such as some menus are more awkward to use. Perhaps it should have been called Windows 9?

No, they should rename it 911 :-D .

Well, chasing the fruit company has never worked out poorly for them in the past. /s A chunk of recent "innovation" is really more about killing off dependencies on old windows code. The fruit company sucks though. They suck so hard. It doesn't matter if they have a usable product. That's like a liar making a "good" politician.

On the flip side, I didn't want any authentication on my Windows 11 laptop. Its a home computer and I don't want/need it. I had to fight the pin multiple times. I would remove it and it came back a few times. I've won for now...

Windows 10 was the last version of Windows. Or so they said. To be honest, I just give a **** about Microsoft's marketing shills. Or about the **** all their UX clowns are coming up with. New icons anyone?.... :mad:

Where does the 'pin' stuff show up on your system? I haven't seen any of that with my system. I did an upgrade from Win 10 as opposed to a clean install. I use Open Shell to have a Win7ish Start Menu and ExplorerPatcher to restore the Win10 task bar.
Mine was a new purchase from a local store. I followed steps to disable it and it came back a few times. I may write software professionally, but when I'm off work I tend to go play outdoors. If it was really important, I would fix it like you stated with OpenShell, but for now, that would take away time from things I actually care bout.

That's an insult for Porsche ;P :laugh:
M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

I'm curious -- you say you managed to restore taskbar toolbars thanks to GitHub. Any chance of a pointer to where you found a solution? Thanks.
