Windows defender is better than almost evrything out there. Edge is as annoying as chrome or safari is on their respective os’s and no basic ui stuff has really been removed that tons of freeware and addons didn’t allow one to customize and they’re releasing a new update to continue to refine the UX/UI

Defender may be better but I still don't like that you can't completely disabled it without breaking other parts of the system, like Windows Store.

Edge itself, as a browser, might only be equally annoying as Chrome, but my point is about Microsoft forcing you to use it.

Using third-party applications to restore functionality is not something we should consider acceptable.

I am using Windows 11 on a Microsoft Surface Go 3 and the UI is big issue at the moment. Some of the issues have been around a while now and are not entirely related to the Surface Go 3:

- Using 125% DPI scaling causes the right-click menu to be incorrectly sized, showing a scrollbar. If you scroll down, explorer crashes. [1]

- Rotating the Surfaces changes screen brightness. Also happens when attaching the type cover. [2]

- If you open too many applications to the point where the taskbar overflows, you cannot access overflowed elements. This easily happens when using the Surface in portrait mode, while having pinned a hand full of applications.

using 3rd party applications to customize windows is the beauty of windows.

i run it on a ryzen5 and surface pro 8 and it’s been great

Edge is definitely worse, I was making an Amazon purchase on Edge and it started popping up offers for the same product. The last thing I want is my browser trying to insert itself into my transactions.
