In Windows 10 the cursor would automatically end up on top of to the start button if you moved your mouse to the corner of your screen. They have completely borked that functionality in Windows 11 and I still don't understand why.

That still works, it just doesn't line up visually.

  I am happy they built that in, as I believe that wasn't the case in earlier builds?

Push windows key. Start shows up. Moving mouse to bottom left for start might have been a funct for you but it wasn't for me. Surprising so many folks struggle w ui/ux changes. I prefer 11 over all other windows distros. It's the closest feel wise to Ubuntu. Love that they caught up finally.

  There is also Ctrl+Esc for people like me having a keyboard that was made before the first Windows was released :-)

      A Codegen keyboard with Futaba clicky switches. These switches are the best, they use plate springs, but to me they feel closer to IBM's beam springs from the 70's than the buckling springs in Model F and M from the 80's do, which were used to cut down on the bulk and cost. If you ask me Futaba did it better.

        I've been trying to get my hands on a beamspring for years (at a non-ridiculous price); I'll have to look into the Futaba switches. Thanks!

  There's no "never combine" in the taskbar. Absolutely horrible. That was the very first setting I changed on every new PC. Without that, I have no use for the taskbar at all. Now I auto-hide the taskbar, install Powertoys and use Powertoys Run to search for the window I want every time. What the hell is Microsoft thinking? Doesn't anyone there actually use the stuff they're making?
