I recently switched from the windows 11 task manager to the windows 7 legacy task manager. I’m delighted how the legacy task manager just opens instantly and unlike the win11 task manager it doesn't lag for a whole second when switching from the process to the service tab. Same for the start menu: I installed start11 yesterday and the old start menu is just sooo much faster. My CPU is a few years old (i7 8700k), and I thought about upgrading because windows 11 was always so laggy, but this showed me that Microsoft is only releasing poor software as their flagship product.

Tried Win11 and reverted back to 10 within a day. Gonna give it another shot soon with start menu patching, I guess. At least MS has a revert-back feature. There are some minimal benefits in scheduling threads on big.LITTLE Intel processors, such as mine, through Intel's Thread Director in Win 11. It's just so annoying to have to hack around an OS when they could easily provide something as basic as moving the taskbar on the left (not the icons, the actual taskbar - using a 32:9 monitor). While the current task manager is rather slow to launch, it also is more functional than the Win7 version. Disk and GPU monitoring being big ones. Somewhat related side note: check out Process Explorer for in-depth monitoring of every process' attributes/state. It can replace Task Manager in Windows as well, if you want, via a setting.
