Summary

  • A Windows user has outlined some aspects of Windows 11 they find annoying, despite enjoying the performance of the OS
  • While Microsoft is moving towards streamlining its interface, some settings can still only be changed using Control Panel rather than Settings
  • The right-click menu requires an extra click to access the most useful elements, and File Explorer is criticised for simplicity over functionality
  • While Microsoft accounts can offer benefits, the author feels that a local account is a better setup for privacy
  • The Taskbar has fewer customisation options than previous versions of Windows and it is harder to pin files and folders to it
  • The Start menu is pushing users towards Bing and Microsoft Edge, and it can be difficult to remove Microsoft services and apps that are deemed bloatware
  • It is difficult to escape ads from Microsoft and third parties, and these take up valuable storage space. However, the user still finds Windows 11 their preferred option.
