    The reason a lot of features went missing is because Microsoft opted to rebuild several parts of the UX from the ground up. The Windows 11 taskbar is a completely new, for example, and I assume at launch they just hadn’t gotten around to adding the drag and drop feature to it yet.

    Honestly, the average user does not care whether the OS was built from ground up or whatever security bullshit they try to shove down everyone's throat. What people care about is feature parity with whatever there was in the past. If features that were taken for granted in a previous version are literally missing, that's not an upgrade. Switching from Windows 7 to Windows 10 was relatively painless simply because Windows 10 at least had feature parity with Windows 7.
    It's been 2 years and there's still no way to have a vertical task bar (something that Windows XP could do mind you). After all that progress, Windows 11 feels like a skinned Windows 98 from a feature perspective. I'm not here to look for alternatives and registry edits to get something that was standard in past operating systems. If I have to tinker so much, I'd rather just use Linux which is far more customizable (which I use for work anyway).

    2 more things you STILL can't do in Winturd 11
    1. create a toolbar folder AND place it inside your taskbar.
    == Why would anyone want this? Simple. if you're like me ( when I used to use Windows ) and you wanted separate docs, pics, music, movies, downloads, game shortcuts...etc folders....good luck having separate one click folders to " pin " right to your taskbar since windows 7 and newer without a Toolbar Folder.
    Toolbar folder = lets you left click drag or copy/paste ...ANYTHING....you want one-click access to ..right on the taskbar....anything...separate document files? Yeap. included.
    2. Actually OWN..and FULLY control...( what is supposed to be ) ..YOUR PC.....and have a far more reasonable level of privacy.
    Good luck with that.
    ANY time you boot up any pc connected online for a reasonable amount of time, = you down own that PC..microsoft does... and they can..., they have...and they WILL continue to execute whatever arbitrary code they see fit.
    You can installed and auto launch on system boot up..all the de-bs-microcrap scripts all ya want, but in the end...an inevitable update..WILL undo.what you've done with that/those scripts.
    Why?
    Simple. the Updates engine is literally BUILT...into the kernel..as is telemetry. ( and yes...again..I know about Chris Titus Tech's efforts over the years..and he is an awesome asset to humanity in the PC and networking tech world), but facts don't care about anyone's feelings regarding Windows Kernel editing access...which .NONE of us normies have that only microsoft software OS devs have.
    Solution?
    Take reasonable baby steps towards migrating to Linux ( Mint Cinnamon will probably be your most gentle transition). Start with practice using cross platform applications instead of Microsoft proprietary ones.

    1:05 they didn't *remove* it. Thing is, they never added it in the first place. They rewrote the taskbar. The win11 taskbar isn't a derivative work of the win10 taskbar. It's written from the ground up using a completely different UI framework. They just never implemented the drag and drop feature onto the new taskbar, perhaps because the dev who coded the taskbar didn't use the feature himself, and it was only added once the people complained.

      Out of every game I seriously play / have seriously played in my library (i.e. there was at least a couple month long period or so where that was the main game I played) only 3 aren't compatible, all 3 are online, 2 of which I stopped playing because the experience was already starting to suffer from bad business decisions that made the game worse, and the final one literally is compatible but explicitly disabled EAC compatibility and then blamed proton to cover their ass. (As in, it was playable on version 1.x, but on 1.x+0.1 it wasn't, despite that update being a completely standard one with no significant changes, just a normal content cycle.) And even THAT game I was already on tenuous straws with because of their recent design choices.
      In other words, the literal only games that I can't play on linux are games I already don't want to play on windows because, shocker, if a company/dev studio does one shitty thing chances are they've done more.
      Meanwhile Linux routinely performs more stably and responsively than windows, even fixing several bugs playing a windows native game through wine/proton that are in the game when ran full-native.
      For instance in Apex I can crank everything to max and still lock at my monitor's max refresh rate, meanwhile not only can I not set the settings as high on windows instead having to intentionally lower them but I also have weird pop-in that makes the game flat out harder to play as elements literally just do not render properly at all distances.
      Not to mention Proton has been able to apply optimizations to both Elden Ring AND Starfield to make them run better on linux than windows because of errors in the rendering pipeline. (Tons of others too, but somehow I feel like those two are the easiest to dunk with)
      So, not only do games literally just perform & run flat out better, but the games that aren't compatible are generally incompatible because the devs have intentionally chosen to fuck over the players, i.e. chances are those games are coasting and on the decline any way you slice it.

I liked in that in the Windows 10 start menu, you could show all apps list in the left column of the start menu next to your pin apps. You cannot do that in Windows 11. Orginally you could not put apps into folders until it was added in 22H2, which the Windows 10 start menu had.

For example we can not control how opaque/transparent we want these items to be and we can't use textures with them. Dark mode: is not consistent throught the os and does not allow the user to choose a custom shade so that it's not to dark. Control panel: Navigates users to menus users are not looking for(example would be sound control panel is now not a searchable term in windows an if you click on sound in the control panel it takes you to the settings menu.)! Start menu: Main problem is it's not resizable an you can't put in in a single column apps mode permenantly and you can not make the window more narrow. Fonts: No easy way to make them bold or change the color of them without downloading third party software. If you can think of more by all means please list them.

      The main issue with the product team at Microsoft is that they never listen to their users and will only put time and effort to re-implement the missing features if a paying customer ask them to do so, or if there is massive public backlash (e.g. the missing drag-and-drop feature).

      The subscription nonsense is going to push more people try other alternatives that haven't already. Plus they'll stick to Windows 10 (or 11) until they can make everything they want/need work on another OS with Linux for gaming, and MacOS for many other tasks (if they can afford a Mac).
      The subscription model is really where it's going to hit people when there's more money involved than the initial purchase of the computer as it'll be hitting right when people can't afford too many more bills (not that they aren't struggling already).
      The world isn't ready to be forced to a subscription model for an OS in the consumer space. Businesses can afford it as they're already pay for volume licensing and such, but consumers are a whole different situation and there are millions and millions of Windows users who don't and will not subscribe to Office 365 too.

      The public (and many governments around the world) have not been holding many of the big tech companies in the best of lights these days. The US likely will get nothing done as usual, but the EU may slap some regulations on them.
      Even taking into account that most Windows users buy Windows when they get new PCs, looking at how Windows 11's adoption hasn't taken off there's a clear reason for it. People aren't buying new PCs when what they have is working fine and/or they cannot afford it. If they cannot afford the one time purchase of a PC or don't want to spend the money because what they have with an older version is working for them, it'll be a harder sell to convince them to go a subscription based model.
      Beyond any philosophy behind FOSS, hatred of Microsoft, or how "cool" the Macs look, money is a far more powerful motivator to get people to look at things for what they are.
      I'm not underestimating Windows users being stubborn about sticking to what they know, but when money is involved at a time when people are already struggling to pay bills, we will see what happens.

For gamers, your only other options are literally just consoles or Linux and both those options have caveats about them that can turn off some PC gamers. Macs just aren't for heavy gaming.
    The more Microsoft ignores what people want and instead tries to tell people what they want by removing features that were found in previous versions...to be clear, rebuilds of items without all features from previous versions still counts as nobody cares HOW, just that X feature is gone, restricting/hiding options to make them harder to get to, changing settings with updates, etc., the more of a need they create for the tech savvy to find ways to live a Microsoft free live and bring people with them. No empire lasts forever and for many tasks, you really do not need Windows anymore with other Windows only tasks being worked on to remove the need for Windows for them as well.

That’s why there’s a balloon that pops up saying “Psst. That program you just installed? It’s over here.” And then there’s a “yellow brick road” leading you through the Start menu to the program launch point itself.
