Windows 11 broke windows 11
To this day I still can't get icon desktops to stay in their place. Each time I make a new folder it move all my icons.
Windows hello notifications, no icon still. So many other quirks too. I think I hate it more than vista.
Finally, MS Word right on the desktop.
That’s what happens when you hire a bunch of recently graduated graphic designers and give them 6 months to come up with a new interface. While also not consulting any power users or even developers who had previously worked on the interface. Rumor has it that these people didn’t even know the taskbar could move when they were first programming it so it would shock me if they knew about the scroll bar jumping.
