Question on the Start Menu change: is this an ADDITIONAL OPTION or a REPLACEMENT?

Microsoft just, in the most recent update, FINALLY added Jump Lists to pinned items in Start. This was my single biggest pain point with Windows 11, wasting tens of seconds every day, minutes per week, and hours per year. I'm so excited MS added this missing feature. For the first time since Windows 10, I'm happy with Windows' Start Menu. I have no objection to them adding more options, but I hope they don't break what's finally working.

Apologies for missing that, Zac (I thought I read the whole article, I swear ). Thanks for taking the time to point that out. Seems like a great additional feature. Very happy with Windows 11 right now.
