I'd love to know why Microsoft takes this sort of passive aggressive breaking of applications to try to change and fix their obviously sub-par UI in Windows 11, trying to force users to accept and adapt to it, vs improving it by putting it back to what it was a built-in option, and now blocking software to do so. It's like someone there takes public hatred of their changes personally as an affront, and insists users should just deal with it and the crappy UI changes everyone hates. It is like the stink of Steve Ballmer never left. I use Linux for everything desktop for almost 20 years now, but keep a windoze vm for Visio, Project, or random other windoze-only crap, and windows 11 just looks grating to even consider. As most do historically, I skip every other windoze version, it has literally added nothing I need since windows xp, and would continue to use it if I could get OS security patches still as a runtime environment for the few mentioned applications. For the little I do use it, ie. basic navigation and launching apps in the task bar, Microsoft almost ruins what I do have to habitually since XP. I never wanted or needed anything added in 7, 8, 10, or 11.
