I want Start permanently anchored dead center, and not slowly marching west as I add taskbar icons.

Exactly. The way it is now, it can be moving. You never know where it's gonna be next. It messes with your motor skills.

If I want to hit a moving target, I'll take up clay pigeon shooting.

1.Complete the migration of settings out of the old control panel then remove the old control panel.
2. Stop trying to force people to log in with Microsoft Accounts. Make it easier to start out with Local Accounts.
3. Better help system for people that need to use it.

Just a few things I'd like to see.

I have mine set to Always, there virtually no UAC bypasses than can bypass that, only the default UAC setting is duh.

I think it's more about protecting ourself from ourselves. Many users just click on what ever they see.

When I right click on a file, I want to see a full list of what I can do including "Copy to" and "Move to." I have to click "Show more options" even to see Delete, which is what I most often want to do when I right click on a file.

Please see my post in Personalization on this topic. Dan

In explorer show the contents on the folder

Oops! I didn't even look at those tiny icons at the top, but only the list. But still no "Copy to" and "Move to." They're not even present under Show more options unless you run the .reg file somebody came up with to add those functions.

Please give Brink's simple change a try. It works perfectly.

Add or Remove "Copy To folder" and "Move To folder" Context Menu in Windows 11

Generally speaking, there's as lot I like about Windows 11. Although right now, it feels mostly like a newly designed Windows 10. I love the new interface, sounds, etc that contributes to the new UX, but feature wise it doesn't feel much different than Windows 10.

UI / UX Uniformity: Finding other "universal" visual changes to design like what they've done with rounded corners and keeping them as consistent as possible.

Right click context menu: designing a right click context menu that accommodates the modern design but doesn't remove any of the old functionality. I know one difficulty here is lots of Windows programs shove in their own right click context menu items into the right click and junk it up. But maybe creating a design system that works around these obstacles.

Hi, David,

At least we can get the older, fuller version back now, with a simple tweak. Please see my post in Personalization. It works.

Hi,
Idiot proofing an os is silly but then again the real issue in ms lab tests is they rely on defender so yeah the real issue is ignored lol

Business don't want their employees changing the setting on the OS and making the overall maintenance harder for their IT dept. It's no longer about what the enthusiast wants but what business are requesting and they don't want customization

I'd be surprised if the enthusiast segment is more than 20% of Microsoft's revenue, and it has always been the least profitable. Why would they cater to it?

I would love to see a new Maps App, Windows 11 Mobile, and the specs go down. Or at least make it as good as Windows 11 and less features.

Revenue wise it's far less that that since they give 11 away as a free upgrade. It's business that end up paying for Windows, etc.

I would love to see that they actually let me import my Windows 10 apps I put in start menu in Windows 11 without all that bloat.

Hi,
Wouldn't ms account sync do the apps bit.

Well the apps get transferred to the Windows 11, the startmenu though has all these bloat, not really bloat but it's not your apps, you have to rearrange all your apps. I can see a lot of people not happy at that, it's another way to get people to use candy crush, edge and yeah
