    I's good to see that there is a paid solution, but I still think that Microsoft is moving backwards in this.

    There are also several free solutions that offer this.

    I am using ExplorerPatcher - although M$ keeps fighting it with tooth and nail by "defaming" it as malware in Defender and Edge won't even download it.

    Thank You Andy.

    I'm still amazed that Microsoft Remove and Resist to support moving the task bar.

    What you need to understand Pierre is that Microsoft is a small independent company with limited resources, and time has only shown them that the return on investment they get from the Windows eco system is precariously marginal at the best of times. They didn't get where they are today thanks to their ubiquitous workstation operating system. Times are hard. It takes a lot of money to develop they AI they are going to need in order to make your very existence, optional.

    They didn't just remove it accidentally and merely fail to bring it back - they actively fight against 3rd parties trying to do so.

    I also preferred the Windows 10 Explorer context menues and personally liked the Win10 tiled Start Menu.

    Instead of keeping these options as opt-in features they hid them away or - as for the Start Menu - removed it entirely with 2H24.

    All of these features (and more) can be brought back via ExplorerPatcher but M$ does not like that at all.
