Really? I have been using it the whole time... it's still working in win10 pro 21h2

Never used it from the Taskbar. mostly ctrl+shift+esc
also rightclick on startbutton or Win+X works just fine.
but not lying, the new startmenu realy sucks!

Thanks for that! I had assumed it was my new PC that was at fault. I just press the power button briefly to wake it up, not needing a full reboot. But I will follow your hint.

There was a problem with sleep in the Insider releases, my rig bsoded during wakeup, but it was fixed in 2 weeks.

That bugs me too - not for Cut, Copy & Paste, but for the 7zip context menu, which I find myself using quite a lot.

Regarding the new context menu, MS added a new set of APIs to add items to the context menu (Extending the Context Menu and Share Dialog in Windows 11 - Windows Developer Blog[^]). Software developers have to adapt their code to the new APIs, but it's still possible to add items to the context menu and the old context menu is available as a fallback. Very few application were updated though, so the experience is suboptimal.
My pet peeve is how often the new start menu crashes or lags. It's really getting to my nerves and always happens when I'm in a rush. Also: why the hell the Task manager is no longer accessible by right clicking the tray bar?

Task Manager is only available by right-clicking directly on the Start Menu button in Win11 instead of the entire task bar. Total pain in the a$$.

Since WinXP, I've had a BAT file run when I log on to start Task Manager minimized. That way I don't have to look for it. The only statement in the file is: "start taskmgr.exe /min"
It's one of the first things I do when I configure a new system.

I have Task Manager as a pinned item on the Task Bar for just that reason

My initial 30 days of use opinion is simply. No it is not yet "worth" upgrading to from Win10. Sanding down corners, and feeding the insatiable thirst to jigger with the start menu EVERY major update is tiring. While I don't use it alot, the regression to not be able to move the taskbar from its bottom position is a miss for me. Even with the reg hacks its barely usable. That allegedly will be "fixed" though.
The context menu change was a bit jarring especially in cases where there are sub menus for things.. But I can at least acknowledge it as an attempt to evolve usability and not be purely change for sake of change. Considering I currently only have 1 PC that actually meets MS requirements to upgrade, I am certainly not tripping overmyself to make the full conversion. It works fine on my surface pro 7 for the workloads I give it. I will stay on Win10 for everything else until 11 falls on my lap or until there is some compelling reason to switch.

because the start menu looks way to close to apple crap, I'm holding off until new options are available. If I have too, then I'll buy stardoc and replace the start menu.

I just keep using Classic Shell (now called Open Shell) as my start menu. Has been working great for me for quite a while now. It's suppose to work on Win 11 too, though I haven't personally tried it yet. I'm going to wait a few years for Windows 11 changes to settle down before I bother installing it.

I kind of like the shortened menus, was wondering if they had a setting to 'learn' the ones not shown in the shorter menu to add the most common each of us uses?
also - anyone see anything about closing the line spacing between lines in explorer? a lot of screen space wasted on that new feature...

Good is an interesting adjective.
As engineers, developers, nerds, etc... we all seemingly want faster computers. Yes, we love to reminisce about the old days - 8088 processors and the like but none of us will give up our Core i7s unless it's for something faster. Right?
But quantum computers are something else entirely. Suddenly todays best encryption schemes become junk. AI becomes EPICALLY powerful. Deep fakes become impossible to detect. Blockchain? How quaint! Not to mention the direct military possibilities.
Is humankind really ready for functional / affordable quantum computing?

The moon landing gave us some real advances in technology.
Quantum computing only gave us headlines for clickbait. It been touted for years, yet still doesn't exist.

Do you believe quantum computing will never exist
As for the moon mission I believe manned space flight is stupid as I see it as merely as stunt For one thing it is harmful to the astronauts For another any technology derived from it I assume would be invented to solve other problems as needs be I favor robotic exploration My fantasy is a space station manned by tele-operated robots performing high value zero-g manufacturing The only benefit of manned exploration by NASA as far as I am concerned is its' demonstration to the Chinese of their inferiority to the USA as I dislike their uppity attitude I hope you are not a Chinese national as if Mr. Xi would permit access to this site - Cheerio

It's another solution looking for a problem. We know they're making technical advances but they haven't done any significant problem solving. That's why you can get free access to quantum computers.
