>> I doubt that they removed the side taskbar option without very extensive testing and discussions.

And yet Windows 11 adoption remains low.

The nonsense UI changes to the taskbar are the primary reason I am still using Windows 10.

The issue with having so many features is that people use those features and become reliant upon them. Removing those features means that the product is not as good as its predecessor and thus fewer people move to the new version.

I suspect the TPM 2.0 requirement is the bigger reason. Let's face it, most Windows users are unaware of what exact version they are running. If it prompted to auto-update to Windows 11 they would click yes.

I am sure that may be true for some users, but certainly not for all.

My computer meets TPM 2.0 requirements, but I turn down every Windows 11 upgrade offer.

The business I work for buys new PCs to replace old ones, but the company OS image is still Windows 10.
