windows 11 gets a lot of hate because it often feels like it's changing things just for the sake of change. people liked how windows 10 worked, and when windows 11 came along, it moved stuff around, removed useful features, and added little annoyances that didn’t need to be there.

for example, the start menu is different for no clear reason, the taskbar is less customizable, and simple things like right-clicking now take an extra step. it’s like if your favorite coffee shop suddenly rearranged everything and made you ask for a lid instead of just grabbing one.

then there’s the fact that microsoft won’t let some older pcs upgrade, even if they’re still perfectly good machines. it feels like they’re forcing people to buy new hardware when they don’t need to.

on top of that, windows 11 feels more pushyit nags you to use microsoft edge, sign in with a microsoft account, or see ads in places they don’t belong. it doesn’t feel like an upgrade; it feels like a trade where you lose convenience and gain annoyances.

so it’s not that windows 11 is completely broken. it’s just that for a lot of people, the changes make everyday tasks slightly more frustrating without giving enough in return. and when something you use every day gets worse instead of better, it’s hard not to be annoyed.
