Well, looks like it still doesn’t let you move the taskbar to the top natively so I will continue my boycott.

On that note, it’s ridiculous how quickly they’re stopping long-term support for Windows 10 compared to say XP or 7.

I know better than to install windows 11 because I have pattern recognition skills. Windows Xp? great

Windows Vista? mediocre

Windows 7? great!

windows 8? mediocre

windows 10? great!

Now just to hold out until windows 12 or whatever they call it.

Give them another couple years, it's so hard to move the taskbar to the top /s

It's because they need you to have all the spyware installed.

Collecting all your data is part of their business model now

Until I can dock my taskbar on the side like I have for the last 15 years, I will NEVER upgrade to 11.

I don't get why they had to make 11. 10 was good enough with improvements, and it feels like Microsoft should have learned their lesson from 8.

My opinion is that they wanted an excuse to drop certain cpu supports because past vulnerabilities.

My question is, when will they fix search crashing. Half the time I go to search it's broken, if I have to restart windows explorer to fix it.

Thanks for sharing. It looks like it is time to create a ps1 script that I keep handy for installs that mod the registry. :)
