Because Microsoft is so damn pushy. Literally anytime they ask my feedback is that they need to just fuck off from my PC and do the bare minimum that I require them to do. I don't need all the bullshit they throw on there to try and get more and more of my data.

Microsoft: Should we invest time and energy into allowing a basic feature in the W11 taskbar, like the ability to ungroup items? No, better divert resources into pushing our shitty browser and making polls!

Dont forget they fucked their own BASIC search feature by making it assume you want to BING websearch when you're trying to quick locate a file on your computer

Seriously, the number of times I type something into the desktop search and want web search results is exactly zero.

I'm pretty sure this was the final straw for me. Even if Valve didnt support a banger version of Linux that evens the playing field for gaming, win 10 and 11 were always going to make me make the jump to Linux

I'm running w11 and I have no idea why everyone is having all this trouble. I have it set to behave like win 10 and barely notice a difference. But I also have the reg key from my win 10 laptop so I can imagine anyone pirating it without a key is gonna have a bad time.

I'm not pirating came with the laptop.

You cannot ungroup items in the task bar. Such a basic necessity is not available.
