Windows 11 UI is a downgrade from XP.

Windows 11 is also deeply unstable. I haven't had this many program crashes, errors, and other bullshit since Vista and ME. Windows 10 had it's annoying quirks but it was at least relatively stable.

I have saved myself the headaches with UI changes since the Win8 clusterfuck when installed a 3rd party taskbar/menu.
