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.
