can microsoft stop removing basic features

[spartaman64]

In windows 11 theres no small icons mode for the taskbar. No right clicking the taskbar to open task manager so I had to pin it. Theres apparently no way to add the clock to the second monitor and I can't drag the taskbar. 

Just why do they think making things harder and removing features is a winning strategy?

This will restore that like windows 10. Just know that sometimes updates break it, so may need to wait for updated code to be released.

Idk. I just think Microsoft is going for the “cleaner” look rather then more features.

The clock missing from secondary displays my only real gripe but I installed ElevenClock and haven't thought about it for months.

nowadays ppl seem to prefer the mindbendingly bland "minimalistic" aesthetic, idk why but it is what it is i guess. So no wonder why ms is trying to make windows as minimalistic in design as possible to appease the majority even at the cost of actually useful menus and features that ppl regularly use being reduced to sht for "minimalism" when in reality its just convoluting and complicating things making basic tasks a pain in the ass

 

 

No point in complaining when there are already workarounds to re add the features anyways, so just use the workarounds, ltt made a vid on fixing w11 and readding useful features back into w11 so maybe have a look at that

except the workarounds cost money. i used startallback for a few weeks and it restored most of it until it asked me to pay the license fee
