Yep, but I left the Start button alone, myself. While I tend to prefer Linux, I still have to have Windows. 11 is mostly fine, but I think people have beef with it because lots of things changed, including the design, and people, for the most part, really hate change. Oh and the ads. Oh and Edge likes to pop up instead of your normal browser from time to time.
That was idiotic. The work computer has win11 we use a proprietary software that doesn’t display in the hover popup. So I’ve you’ve got 4 windows open of that software… good luck guessing which one is which from the taskbar.
It took them ages after launch to add that back into windows.
Hilariously Enough on win11 it previews the window if you hit the alt desktop button on the taskbar… so I started doing that before they put ungroup back. Lol
I recently learned you can use modifier keys while clicking taskbar programs. Ctrl cycles between program instances without showing the preview. Shift opens a new one. Ctrl+shift opens one as admin I think?
Never had an ad, and edge only does that during updates. They 100% try to trick you into making it your default browser. It’s really shitty, but it’s like once a year at most.
Nah man, it opens from the start menu too. Search for a program you have installed? Nope, auto-search the web and launch Bing in Edge to show you the result.

Forced window grouping.

That sounds terrible. Does Win+Tab get you the preview? That would have probably been my first thought after the frustration set in.

Oh shit that’s handy!
Thanks!
