It seems like they are going out of their way to remove good features. Like they removed the option to right click the taskbar and open task manager. They since added it back, but only because of user demand.

They have removed quick access to disabling the network, seeing and changing ip settings.

I can't remember all the annoying issues, but there's a lot.

I hate that it has become a general thing to ruin user experience and possibilities of customization. Google is doing the same with android.

The volume mixer is also only now coming back.

My biggest issue is that you can't open new file explorer tabs in the same window. So before you know it, you have 10 different file browser windows open. It wasn't a Windows 10 feature either but there was an extension called Qtabbar that allowed it. That doesn't work on Windows 11. So I've been using free commander as a work around. It's annoying though.
