The new taskbar is the most visible - it can't be on the sides, can't be resized, and breaks a large number of workflows around right clicking, dragging, and more.

Context menus are a mess, hiding most options multiple levels deep when there's plenty of space.

Every quarter they get more intrusive trying to get you to click on the wrong button that will change your browser and default apps, and they use every antipattern short of moving the window under your cursor to try to convince you not to change away from their defaults. Yes, Win10 had a "are you sure you don't want Edge" popup but Win11 is far worse.

It's also harder than ever (maybe impossible now?) to create a local user account.
