Tried it for the first time today and I hated it. Everything I organized for the start menu is gone and they replaced it with a stupid apps menu. It definitely runs sluggishly.
i mean users are free to use 3rd party start bars to have a windows 7 style start bar. The thing I always find odd is that if you opt for the 3rd party option, your experience with windows is mostly consistent.
One of the biggest features Windows gives users is the ability to modify stuff and people choose not to use it. It’s like anyone who outright chooses to use IE/Spartan/Edge and complain about it instead of just switching to a 3rd party option.
computer has never broken using a 3rd party start bar, and ive been using it since the start of windows 10. historically, the only time something actually breaks in updates is if it requires the user to overwrite something in the windows folder (e.g complete theming changes). the start bar is not one of them.

Which start bar program do you recommend?
I personally use openshell because its free, some people may prefer start10 or startisback. or go to more non vanilla options like Pokki
ExplorerPatcher makes Win11 somewhat usable. For both taskbar and start menu.
You are free to do that, but if you do they are also free to break your computer with mandatory updates 😂

Aha i was thinking of the task bar, that’s what broke it for me
