I wish it didn't cost $99 plus tax but that was the cost to upgrade to Win11 Pro to eliminate the left swipe Widgets page.

Grrrr... all good changes, but if they are going to do work on the Start menu, bring back the Jump Lists to icons pinned to Start, something we've had (I think) since Windows 2000, at least since XP. Windows 11 broke this and it's a massive source of wasted and lost time EVERY SINGLE DAY for me.

How can an optionally accessible information panel be annoying? Just don't use it if you don't like it. I click on several times a day to check stock performance and sometimes the weather. I confess sometimes I get sucked in to reading about Star Trek or some upcoming movie, but that's on me.
