I could probably tolerate Windows 11 if:

the start menu search didn’t search the web and just searched my system.
the widget panel wasn’t just a wrapper for their shitty news aggregator that seems to only gather celebrity news
If I have windows pro, I don’t want notifications to use Edge or see TikTok, Amazon, Candycrush, etc. in the start menu (I know they aren’t downloaded but what “pro” wants any of that shit)

Searching the web isn't that bad, it's on the bottom anyway, no? Or did they change that in Win11?

Still waiting for my taskbar changes, mainly.

This is definitely a personal preference thing but I think if you want to search the web, you go to the web browser. And if you want to search for a folder or file on the system, windows search should fulfill that purpose.

At the very least, it should be a toggle. The current implementation of Windows search feels like it’s only there to force people to use Edge
