my desktop that i use for everything got the update like a year ago.
I have not really noticed any improvements. However I noticed regressions with:
- the start menu
In W10 you can group your shortcuts and organize everything by tasks or activities. I don't know if it's something people do but I realized it was possible and because I do work, games, music on my machine, it was super helpful. in W11 you can group shortcuts like you would do on an Android phone so it's a major step back in terms of organization/productivity for me.
- taskbar
on W10, my taskbar was at the top. Nuh uh, can't do that with W11
- multiple monitor management
I used to have the Windows tray on monitor #2 so that I would still have access when monitor #1 is displaying things full screen. Not possible with W11.
These things are things people have reported online multiple times. It's not excluded some of these things could get fixed in future releases but to me these have been annoyances.
On top of it, my update got messed up a bit and I have a couple of minor things that have not been working since I did this update and I need to reinstall from scratch. In hindsight, clearly I should have installed it cleanly...
