That start menu is as much use as an ash tray on a motorbike, half of it is just sujestions :)
Most important thing to me..they fixed the date/time format bug in the taskbar that I reported :)
Small thing but it was bugging me!
You can't even remove the space if you disable 'recommendations' from what I've seen (not testing it, need my pc for work), with there being just an empty space underneath 'recommended text' and you're still stuck with the 'scrolling' app draw... total waste of space and incredibly poor UX imo.Quote:

Honestly feel like I'll need to grab an alternative start menu at this point in time...
I haven't used the start menu in a couple years now. It offers nothing
still deliberating whether to get Windows 11 now and or just wait as I don't see the need yet.
please.. would prefer to have the buttons I always had and more... I can understand why they want to make special variants for phones and the likes, but it is not really innovation taking stuff away from the core platform or at least not offering the option when setting up windows and so on and so forth.
We like, at least those of us who is more advanced or oldschool users, more control.
Those bholes try to 'Windows 8' us again...
I wonder if they'll finally fix having a controller pluged in preventing sleep and the screen powering off, it's only been a problem for 5 years so maybe I'm expecting to much.
USB? Been fixed for years but some controllers the drivers don't play ballQuote:

Was fixed, broke again in 2004, at least from what i gather. You'd think Microsoft would be capable of fixing their own driver.Quote:

The silly thing is resetting the controller (disable/enable in devicemanager, pnputil, or whatever) sorts the problem out and allows the screen to turn off and/or the PC to sleep so setting up a task to run every time the system starts sorts it, that's what's so annoying really as MS could implement the 'fix' so easily.
Will we get a system tray across multiple monitors before Windows 32 ?
whilst it appears to be a regular issue for some, I've never had it. Must be a certain combo that causes it. Of course, the fact that many DON'T have an issue IS the issueQuote:
