That was a very good second guess

The first one covered three vowels, none of which came up - so I wanted a word with at least one of the other two. Given the three that aren't there, the letter I did get in the wrong place was very unlikely to be at the start or end, so middle was the best guess. I was lucky with the four of 'em, and it only left me one choice for the third guess.

Yep, here I go again. Working with windows for 25 years. Windows 7, 8, 10 - Xp - gasp - task bar with search at the bottom. Nah, let's change the default.
Okay, let's try dragging it around. Nope, doesn't work like Windows 7 or 10. Nah, why be consistent?
Google reveals I have to go to task bar settings - where I only have center and left selections.  Microsoft claims this is a better user experience. huh
As a Christmas present to all of my listeners  I am going to go purchase that task bar tool. Windows 12 will duplicate it, because what Microsoft did should have gotten a few people fired. For all of you who have criticized me for complaining or getting angry, you really cannot defend MS. If you do... well.
for the record, I'm building a new release. It would have been out earlier, but Microsoft rebooted all of my build VMs.
Ho ho ho.

I assume that should be publish the task bar tool, not purchase?

no, there is a tool out there - Start11 - but it was supposed to do what I want but doesn't (make the W11 taskbar behave like W10).

Devices and Printers now too.
It seems like settings might be more mobile friendly.
Aside from that I can't imagine what they are thinking day to day over there.

Not sure what that means but I don't think XP had a 'search' in the taskbar.

sorry, I was at a party.... no xp does not have a task bar search and in all fairness to MSucks the task bar approach really improved on the way to Windows 10. A user could put the task bar anywhere they wanted. Windows 11? Nope. Predictability is very important in UI, and I for one and elephanting tired of this MS crap.
I want to be clear when I say this - there is no way in holy hell that MS is doing studies and research to help users. They are screwing with stuff to cause churn and make it look new. They categorically suck.

Yes...and?
Most of the stuff in Microsoft is driven by Microsoft. There is no product that they need to catch up with or compete with. So to increase sales they must make changes and then market them as worthwhile.
Which is exactly what every other market leader does in every industry.

History repeats. No matter how much you study. No matter how much you warn people. History repeats. Herd mentality exists. And the last thing people want to do is educate themselves about a situation they place themselves in.
For those retail folks who think brokers and exchanges give two flips about you making money - hopefully this is a wake up call. You can tell who has and who hasn't even taken a seat at the big boys table when they still believe in fairies and unicorn pee when it comes to this.
And yes, I sound poopy. I spent a lot of time being bearish on crypto for past few years and endured a lot of online kiddies arguing. Despite these people never once doing any real study. The herd mentality is so strong, that even I lost money despite knowing better.
That being said, there will be time to be bullish on crypto again (not now). But, the industry needs to grow up a bit. And for all that is right in the world, people need to stop believing brokers and exchanges want you to make money. They don't. They want your liquidity. Period.
