I've been running Windows 11 since the summer of 2022, and I'm still finding the little jewels hidden in the OS.
And, for the one who wants to change things in Win-11, but can't find the hidden tweaking tools, there are Professionally written tweaking programs, like "Winaero Tweaker".
Years ago, before I learned how to Tweak a PC by myself, I used "TweakUI". Over several OS upgrades, I totally lost that little program.
Today, I was typing out an email, in O.E.Classic, and the little vertical line curser was so thin I kept loosing it. I wanted to Tweak that, and make it more visible, so I went online and found a neat little video showing me how to do that in Windows. At the same location, in Windows, I found I could enlarge my mouse pointer and even change its color. For some reason, making my typing curser thicker and more visible, works fine in Wordpad, or my email program, but it doesn't work here!

So, for those who like the look and feel of some older OS, it's all doable in Win-11. There's always "Winaero Tweaker".

I like to do a little tweaking and customizing but nothing to crazy. Winareo Tweaker is great for some small tweaks to my systems. I don't use third party software that does heavy modding or reskinning like the Stardock software as it tends to create conflicts and problems especially with insider builds of Windows. I just like to personalize it enough to make it mine.

I'm finding that the ability to "Tweak" Win-11 is built into "Settings" more than I've found in Previous versions of Windows.
So far, I'm not quite up to a Love Affair with Win-11, but we're close to becoming "Best Friends". First kiss is still a ways off! ;-)
