    The Start menu has gotten worse with every update. It is getting ridiculous.
    I can no longer click start > type in the program I need > hit enter.
    Start menu, you had one job!

      Why not? What has changed? My start menu functions just as it did in w7, the only gripe I have is that by default it tries to search Internet before PC. Simple solution: disable web search in start menu. Once u configure the w11 start menu properly it’s no different than in precious versions! It is a shame they push the suggested apps and internet search crap but once u debloat it it’s pretty much refreshed 7 with support for modern hardware.

        (Not OP.) Sucks that you gotta debloat. I want to say it should be opt in for anything thats not basic function, but I think that’s too extreme. Maybe people out there find the web search function super useful, or they appreciate the adverts or whatever.

        Anyhoo, even though I debloat everything like crazy from day one, i find myself debloating something new about once a month or so still.

      I moved it to the side when 16:9 screens became popular and vertical space was more limited.

      Windows 11 removed this feature.

        Another one is to give me the option to turn my computer off but often times I would hit the off button and it wouldn’t actually turn off.
