The general consensus amongst users, that I have seen, is that Windows 11 is faster than Windows 10 ...
I personally would expect this due to, at this stage, most are running 11 in a fresher state, [Less trash build up]. than they did Windows 10.
Personally I stopped worrying about operating systems, and other software, being different at each release back in the 1980s - It helped in my case in that it seemed like every job I was involved with had a different software load and many it was a different Base OS too, [not always Windows or even DOS based - some were one off OS's built for the task] You simply got used to the different ways of working quickly ... or went elsewhere to a more regular IT role
Windows 11
is faster, but restoring the old taskbar from Windows 10 via ExplorerPatcher does not slow it down, at least for me, and, even if it
did, they [Mickeysoft] could have simply given us the
option to restore the old taskbar, for those who need/want it back. In fact they already did give us that option, as it is just an easy registry tweak, albeit this tweak causes some negative side effects (but luckily those can easily be fixed by using ExplorerPatcher, which is what I did, after someone had mentioned it in another thread on here). My only point being, since the option to restore the old taskbar is already there, anyway in the first place, the decision of making it difficult to achieve for many who might lack the courage to delve into the registry and/or use an open source .dll file for this purpose makes very weak sense, as it could have been added the
proper way (proper = without causing it to be half broken at least), and that
still wouldn't slow the system down for those who don't need/want it, because it would
still only be
optional. That is why the argument of "you can't please everyone" doesn't apply here. Windows has such a thing called Feature On Demand (FOD) so there's your proof: they really
did figure out how to make things optional.
As for the reason why I find this important in spite of the fact that ExplorerPatcher already has fixed it for me, it's because, like I already tried to explain previously in this thread, just because I feel comfortable modifying my registry and using 3rd party stuff like ExplorerPatcher, doesn't also mean that everyone else who could
also benefit from restoring the old taskbar feels the same way about that as me. I didn't go elsewhere to a more regular IT role. My IT role is a
customer-friendly one. By contrast, as far as the Windows 11 taskbar goes, Mickeysoft's role is to be annoying merely for the sake of putting their foot between the door. If I try to put my foot between the door like that, I'll be forced to go elsewhere to a more regular IT role within two minutes after.
