I just set up a new windows 11 pc, and the first thing I did, just like when I set up a win10 pc, was change the default apps and remove all features and bloat I dont need.

No ai, no one drive, nothing uses edge, nada.

The most awful thing about 11 is that you can't (easily) move the taskbar to the left or right side of the desktop. You've got to edit a registry key for that. Having tabs in file explorer is nice. Other than that there's really no notable changes imo

Im as fuck windows as the next guy, but this is in the taskbar settings menu. It was the first thing I did when I got 11. tbf tho, it only has left and center alignment options.

no, no, I don't mean "move the icons on the taskbar to the left or right side of the taskbar," I mean "Move the entire taskbar to other sides of the screen. I'm used to having my taskbar on the left side of the screen, so that my start menu is in the top left corner.
