OS
Windows 11
It seems like some things I too would like to change in 11 gets overridden with new code by MS as soon as people start to complain about it. Like, "seconds display in task bar," or "File Explorer ribbon" and so on. Maybe we should hide our wants from MS somewhere and fix them without their knowledge?

These are tweaks I've seen asked for... many times. They are collected here for easy access. All of these and more can be found in the Eleven Forum Tutorials section. Make sure to read the "notes" in the various tutorials. At the bottom of the first post in all the "tutorials", there are...

Unfortunately, since Microsoft wrote the OS you're using to view this site... you can't really hide anything from them. They don't "need" to crack ElevenForum to read our discussions... they can read things as you type them... if they want.

One OS to rule them all,

Why not just stick to Windows 10?
You will have the genuine features, instead of risking the stability of your installation with third party stuff.
