Windows 11 is getting a new start menu. EDIT: this replaces the "all apps" page by default, not the home screem

That's the septic tank to store the waste from enshitification.

Enshittification is when minor UI changes break my boomer brain

In this case the person you were responding to was right. It is where they put their news and weather widget. Which only exists to push people onto Bing. It is annoying, and by default pops up on rollover, not click, so it is trivially easy to accidentally pull up, pumping those Bing engagement numbers.

I don't see how centering it changes that. They could just as easily leave the start menu left aligned and put the widgets button next to it
