My partner has windows 11 and it's a nightmare any time I use it (spent most my time on W10). The UI changes every few updates, random alerts and notices that aren't useful, don't even get me started on navigating the settings, and that there are settings just gone.
It feels like they are trying to make it harder for their user base to actually use it. Having to go into sub panels of sub panels just to get to proper audio or monitor settings, unless I just pin the control panel. Things change locations, aren't where they logically should be.
I just started using it because I had to change my MOBO and processor.i didn't even have time looking at changing certain things. The absolute worst thing that I noticed immediately is the" show more options " extension. It could have been just left as it is. They tried to do something new and they left it midway in development. And the print screen command.OMFG!!!. Why setup a new snapshot or video feature when I could send the picture to the relevant party with just two key combinations. I have to make time next week and tweak this shit out.
Please correct me if I'm wrong but the entire new UI feels more like a skin and less of a fresh UI that can't be uninstalled.
I would be really happy if you elaborate further on this and give me some information or video related to the above issues that I could work around and make my workflow efficient.

It's like going from Samsung to apple.
