2024-05-17T11:17:07+00:00 Absolutely absurd to open my computer today just to find less functionality with windows 11. upgrades people, upgrades.
I would pretty please like to have my task bar on the left again.

MS, I think, announced in a subtle way that even KB503441 update will not be fixed so that Win10 without Bitlocker won't keep on updating non-essential update--it's gonna keep on telling you "something went wrong" until the end of time.
Aside from that, the notification from Microsoft Community ended up in JUNK of my Hotmail account--I mean, Microsoft itself doesn't know and cannot sort its own emails.
All those smart people asking users "How do we improve Window?". When they do, I always tell them to bring me $1Billion cash as they know exactly where and who I am. They never respond. They want all those advise for free.

There's nothing left to do but download the patch from github and, on occasion, implement a patch to block telemetry and scripts that track our work on the computer. I do not understand the approach of removing functionality that existed and was widely used in previous versions of Windows. It's probably time to switch 100% to another operating system like Linux.

2024-06-05T00:14:19+00:00 100%. I typically have 10 to 20 windows/apps open. The horizontal task bar is absolutely useless when attempting to identify what window is what. This reduction in capability will keep me from upgrading as long as possible. I only found out since my government issue laptop updated. I guess I'll simply keep windows 10 at least until Oct 25.
To support the statements above.. this is not a hyperbolic complaint. The amount of work and context switching I need to do would make 90% of the population cry. This is a major handicap.
Fingers crossed someone will come up with a 3rd party solution.
"ALT-TAB" is a half-way solution for anyone looking for a consolation prize.
