There's soo many services running in background? It lags for us low end pc gamers

This has to be the most tone deaf ad Microsoft ever created. Windows 11 is the opposite of I'm a PC with Windows 7. Windows 10 is still better than 11, stop lying to us. Windows 11 is not better or easier. I'd rather live with Windows 10 security madness after OCT 2025 than install Windows 11.

Meanwhile windows 10 start menu had all apps listed on the side, while on windows 11 you have to additionally click to show all apps

to everyone commenting that win 11 is worse than 10 I used it for you its fine now. used to suck when it was first introduced but 23H2 is way smoother. thank me later.

Shows how clueless Microsoft is. People don't want to be your guinea pigs. Stop testing your stuff in production. Don't add features we don't need or use. Start menu internet search is something we didn't ask for. You need to do what people are asking for instead of trying to reinvent the wheel. You have the Feedback Hub, remember? Lots of unfixed issues waiting to be fixed.

Why do you send users data to third parties? Windows isnt free.

All the "Easy and Easier" words used and yet it's not with the dumb requirements. Want more people to use it, start dropping that wall officially.

Can we please just have Windows 7 back? PRETTY PLEASE? It worked... it wasn't ugly... the good ole' Start Menu was still there...

If you want to find a file, then you wouldn't use the search menu. Instead you use the program "Everything" and instantly find your file, rather than waiting and waiting, until the search menu finds it (because Windows own Indexing is

The reason people aren't switching to Windows 11 has nothing to due with being worried about having to learn a new version of Windows. I would guess that the vast majority aren't switching to Windows 11 due to having previously experienced Windows 11.

Really wished 11 kept the idea of a 10 style start menu like how XP and Classic were shared side by side as selectable options.

But you down grade the task bar to pre windows era.

Yo microsoft, make left and right taskbar orientation accessible.

the 11 start menu makes finding anything but your programs and documents easier. it internet searches by default, making finding your own local stuff harder.

Windows 7 was peak desktop - for power users, it's gone downhill ever since. Whenever there is a "cross-platform" thing going on, desktop design principles are dropped. Tiles, endlessly nested menus, and removed options are the unfortunate result.

Please make an alternative start menu that looks like Windows 10's

I'm going to wait till 10 dies out. You want to hear my feedback? The Windows 11 start menu is worse than XP's, it's so simplistic it's complicated, The Windows 10 start menu I believe was perfection; app list on the left, pinned apps and folders (and live tiles) on the right but now it's small icons, an extra click for your apps list, and a recommendation section that I doubt anyone uses. So for me I'm going to use Start 11 and explorer patcher to both restore my precious start menu and make the app windows have sharp corners again because I don't know why the whole trend of rounding everything exists. It's something about it's calming to the eye and mind or something but to me it's the opposite; sharp corners relax me it feels natural but it's weird; XP to 7's windows I don't even realize were rounded like I didn't even pay any mind to it that's how the whole aspect of the OS blended together at least if you didn't go digging deep in it and unearthing fragments from Windows 3.1; but Windows 11's rounded corners feel forced.
