5 Windows 11 problems Microsoft should fix soon

Months have passed since the launch of Windows 11, so the time has come to put on your analytical glasses and review everything in the Operating System that needs to be improved.

It has been a long time since the arrival of Windows 11 at the end of last year. Now that the honeymoon phase has passed where everything new is great and perfect, the time has come to coldly analyze the Operating System and warn that all that glitters is not gold.

Although Windows 11 made few negative headlines after its launch in October 2021, in the long run many of its early adopters have seen shortcomings that go beyond the typical errors.

For example, even though the task bar While it’s improved in some ways over Windows 10, Win 11 has taken some strange steps backwards in its setup.

Or the new design of Windows 11 contrasts with the old look of the most archaic programs or functions of the Operating System.

no more, here are 5 current Windows 11 problems that Microsoft should fix as soon as possible.

1. Inconsistencies in the user interface

One of Microsoft’s goals with Windows 11 was Modernize the look of your Operating System, adopt a simpler design, similar to the style of Apple or mobile.

In this sense, Windows 11 fulfills its role in part. Although many of the new features of the OS have a very clean and attractive presentation, Microsoft has kept many programs and apps from the past intact. And its somewhat old-fashioned aesthetic is very out of tune with the new Windows facelift.

There are elements of Windows 10, yes, but also design decisions that belong to Windows Vista and even the even more distant Windows XP. MS would have to do a lot of cleaning, anniversary certain aspects of its interface and bet on a total and coherent modernization.

2. A very limited taskbar

Windows 11 wanted to turn the taskbar into the new great protagonist. and he has succeeded partly.

On the one hand, the current taskbar is more modern and includes almost all the basic applications to work on PC. And if the app you need is not there, you can include it without problems.

The strange thing is that it has taken many steps backwards in basic configuration aspects. For example, you can no longer resize the taskbar. Or change orientation or move it.

Supplementary information that the taskbar usually includes, such as the current time or date, is not displayed in the second your pc monitor.

All of these absences were options that were available in Windows 10 and it is not understood that they have disappeared.

3. A somewhat limited Windows 11 start menu

If you take a look at your Windows 11 start menu, one word will surely come to mind: austere. This section is emptier than ever. And it is that Microsoft it has removed items from the Windows 10 menu that perhaps not everyone used, but it has not replaced them with other options.

As a result, there is always the feeling that information is missing, even if it is anecdotal. For example, Microsoft has removed Live Tiles, the animated tiles that in Windows 10 made different recommendations after analyzing your preferences.

Again, not everyone was into the Live Tiles but, what about those who did use them? They have been left without a worthy replacement.

More unexplained absences: With Windows 10 you could create groups of apps in the start menu. In this way it was very easy to access a set of programs focused on productivity, for example. The new start menu allows you to pin apps, but nothing else.

Will the Windows 11 start menu just populate in future updates?

4. Unnecessary programs that nobody uses

Microsoft is very given to putting unnecessary programs that are installed automatically with your Windows in an attempt to get them used more.

Windows 10 came with many pre-installed games that you probably never got to try, and something similar happens with Win 11. What’s more, surely one of your first steps with the updated Operating System was delete all that software that it takes space and can even harm PC performance.

5. Many errors, bugs and inconsistencies

Why did so many people decide not to move so quickly to Windows 8? Because it was sensed that its first versions would have many bugs. So it was. The same thing happened with Windows 10. And it is what happens with Windows 11.

For example, if at the time you had many compatibility problems between Win 10 and the drivers of your printer, these same errors have returned in Windows 11. Bugs have even returned that Microsoft had theoretically promised to eradicate forever.

If bugs were the only current problem with Windows 11, nothing would happen. It would be necessary to have patience in exchange for enjoying its novelties. Now, due to the absences and limitations mentioned in other sections, bugs can be the icing on the cake that ends up making you decide for wait for an update that solves everything that Win 11 has pending to fix.
