How do you go from the infinitely more useful and customizable start menu in 10 to the shit we got in 11?

I remember when people we're b***hing about how much the win10 start menu sucked. Now its fricking amazing and great, while the new thing (win11 start menu) is dogshit and useless.
We've come full circle. The internet never surprises me anymore.
This happens time a new Windows version comes out.
>Windows [X] is the shittiest operating system in the world. Windows [X - 1] is literally perfect, I'm never upgrading.
*Microsoft releases Windows [X + 1]*
>Windows [X + 1] is the shittiest operating system in the world. Windows [X] is literally percent, I'm never upgrading.
repeat ad infinitum
This is so accurate and I have no idea what the mechanism behind it is
Autism.
windows X to windows X+2 to windows X+2+2 moron
let me guess windows 10 was your first os
There are 8 and Vista baby ducks out there. They're rare but they exist.
Anon imma let you finish but satya made the best windows of all time
you mean the girls
win11 was designed by two female designers
Hate to disappoint you but the best Windows was during the Ballmer era.
this.
and XP can be included as the last redeemable UI
No one hated the 10 start menu
It was the 8 menu that was universally hated
Compared to Win7's start menu, Win10's fricking sucked.
It still kept the dumb tiles inherited from Win8, kept ads in the start menu and accessing the tiles from the keyboard is harder than accessing favorites was on Win7 (you just had to press Win-key, arrow up or down and enter).
It still sucks. But ClassicShell fixes it.
It's a different set of people. That was a long time ago.
I thought it was shit until I tried using it, live tiles are far better than I used to give them credit. You can also group things and make subgroups, I wish you could make fully horizon tiles too but it's good enough.
Meanwhile, 11 lets you pin icons with no sense of organization or customizability at all. Frick you.
nah, moronic zoomers are calling it great
What's the use case of customizing your main menu?
I use mine as a focus aid. Video courseware websites for example are pinned in a particular order of study.
Also use it to pin priority tools, PWAs like Google Keep, ChatGPT and Brain.fm.
It's buggy af mind. But works well enough. My desktop is otherwise minimal
Same way wincucks went from "the infinitely more useful and customizable start menu in 7 to the shit we got in 8 and 10". They force themselves to "like" the turds pajeetsoft keeps feeding them.
>customizable
>windows
pick one
kde has that btw

Utterly vomit inducing
who the frick would install that on their machine
I like eliminating all of the tiles and just having a simple alphabetical list of programs.
I do the exact same, I hate the tiles.
It's just as shit as the one in 11, and personally I think it's more ugly than 11's. It reminds me of the disgusting metro UI from 8.
Start menus in general are useless bloat. What the frick do you even use them for?
Windows 8 home... home
At least it was until I fricked everything up
Why use a start menu at all, Macs don’t have anything like that. Can you imagine logging in to your computer and simply seeing your apps with no weather or news or Bing AI or windows updates pops. On Mac you just do CMD+Spacebar and type the app you want to open, it doesn’t search the web or any nonsense it just opens the app or file you wanted. Just you and your computer. Windows is so invasive I wish I didn’t need a desktop at all.
non-engineers having decision making power
you don't need the start menu
It's a M$ strategy to make each version worse knowing that morons like you will still use it no matter what. It's a humiliation ritual and they are laughing at you.
>humiliation ritual
Ignored
This is the main reason why I won't ""up""grade to Win11 until Microsoft forces me to. 11 UI in general is terrible. I miss Windows Phone.
who cares?
