It's getting less and less unlikeable for me as time goes on.
Not that I like it yet, basic functions that been around since win 7 are still missing but they are fixing them.
Maybe within the year so I will have a reason to go to it. My biggest grips was:
-No rightclick taskbar -> task manager
-Ungrouped taskbar icons
-No Quick Launch/toolbar on taskbar:
if it's not running, why is it in my taskbar.
Same with pin to taskbar, cant even disable pin to taskbar with reg edits. Why can I make an icon for it in my running tasks area? Give me toolbars back and I dont need to pin it in the running tasks area...
-Start menu is still the 40 mile long windows 10 one (can fix it with classic start).
-No ability disable snapping where you drag near an edge and it full screens/size to fit. I can't stand that, sometimes I am just moving a thing out the way not wanting it fullscreen, well not sometimes I never want it to do that. If I want fullscreen I will hotkey/titlebar button make it.
And some others I cannot remember.
But they got some of those fixed.
Windows 11 feels like windows 8, where they tried to improve things and nearly all the improvements was a step backwards or they removed a function, saying its removal was a feature

Oh yea, mentioned they have fixed some of them. Why if they manage to fix the rest, or a 3rd party does (long as I dont need 15 different 3rd party programs installed to do it) I wouldn't mind moving to it.
Windows 11 works great for the surface pro I have driving my CNC, it's good for a tablet, like it was made with touch screen as the basis of GUI decision. For mouse and keyboard and doing work on it, or at least how I personally work at work, not so much.

While cool, most of that seems like more work to type out a question and click than just doing it the old way. I cant see ever needing or wanting a use for it myself.
Best example is:
- Click out of program you are using to make the logo, click on assistant, type out: Can you send this to (someone) in teams?
vs
- win+shift+s -> draw box -> paste into teams.
Or who randomly picks arbitrary music to listen to that windows would suggest? Open spotify, click a playlist or mix. It already tailors recommendations to stuff you listen to.

@Areius If it's not running why is it on your current 'tasks' bar?
But that's just just me I think, I realllllly dislike pin to taskbar, even tried to disable that with reg fixes to remove it out of right click options as I click it by accident vs close since they are next to each other:
Seems we all use windows so differently here. Windows 11 takes away literally almost all of the ways I use windows.
The ungroup thing is one thing I disliked 11 didn't have. If I have 3 chromes open, I want to see 3 boxes of chrome on taskbar. If nothing is running my taskbar should be empty: If its not open why is it in the place that things running are listed?
I MUCH prefer it like this personally:
Top row is taskbar: Things running, with names, so I can see what and why it is. If nothing is open, it's empty.
Bottom row is quick launch: Things I use a lot separated by 'what' they are for.
99% of the time I don't even need a start menu for anything. Maybe once or twice a week I open the start menu.
(That looks super cluttered since its a snip of just the left hand side, but didn't want to paste a 3440 wide image. The other 2/3 of my bar is empty on the right.)

I use my taskbar for frequently used apps. I have a little less than 30 shortcuts there now. I use some a bit less but most are frequently enough used that I don't want to bother going through start menu every time
I've not missed ungrouping items since they introduced it in Vista? Mouse over is good enough
Same, I just prefer the quick launch myself vs pin. That way things running is on top. Things I can run are on the bottom, they dont mingle together.
And I am the opposite for grouping Soon as I saw grouping in my first install that had it, I dug around to figure out how to turn it off. That way I dont need to hover to see what it is, I can just see what it is without touching anything.

yeah its compatible. no idea how to update though, i dont got any options for it in Windows Update, neither am i asked any more... maybe ive clicked it away too many times heh
edit: found something called windows 11 download assistant, maybe that will work.
edit 2: nope... at the very last step i get: error 0xC190012E
googled the error and tried the recommended things, but nah, same shit happens. restarted the computer, deleted old caches.. must have tried 10 times now.
edit 3: ok now its available in Windows Update all of a a sudden, so i'm trying from there. i very much doubt it will work though, but i've gotten pessimistic about this
hmm what's even happening? Started the Windows 11 update, watched an episode of Always Sunny, went back to check if it was done, and... nothing.
i restarted, thinking it's probably just that. Nope, no updating. Greeted with a "you can update to windows 11!" i'm clicking "Yes". I get a "Nice! we will grab it for you."
and...
nothing.
Edit: ok its the 0xc190012e error again, says on the Windows Update page now.
That takes me many weeks because of all the stuff i use, many hundreds if not thousands of plugins that needs a reinstall, that's the most tiring part. but also setting up python and machine learning environments and whatever. i've spent months on that.
