Why should I have to adapt to UI changes for the sake of UI changes?

  Because there is a cost in not moving to a supported platform. Windows 11 has various improvements and some inconveniences. Of course, you have the option of remaining on Windows 10 since possibly for you that menu is much more important than the rest. I assume Linux/Mac are not options because the UI changes they bring are massive compared to Windows 10 -> Windows 11 and you mentioned that you don't want to adapt to UI changes. But if Linux/Mac are options, it means that the real problem is not that the UI changed, but that you were not asked and didn't gave your consent to the change. So basically that you feel offended by Microsoft changing the UI without your approval.

    Serious question. Other than continued security updates, what's something you consider better about Windows 11? Honestly, I'm not sure of any feature that has improved since Windows 7. It's not that I can not adopt to UI changes, for example, when I context switch to OSX. The problem is that the UI changed so some UI designers could generate career bullet points. And in doing so are forcing billions of people to have to adopt to something that didn't need fixing in the first place.

      Snap Layouts is a huge Windows 11 feature for me, I use it all the time since I have multiple monitors and many windows open. But it's not all positive, I'm annoyed by the removal of the month calendar when you click on the date. > The problem is that the UI changed so some UI designers could generate career bullet points. Even if true, it doesn't change the fact that Windows 10 will soon not be supported anymore. As they say, the only constant is change.

        Windows 10 becoming unsupported doesn't change by original complaint about UI changing for changes sake.
