There were a lot of regressions that upset me. The option for seconds in the system time was removed. Right-clicking the WiFi/internet connection in the taskbar no longer has the context menu option for "Troubleshoot connection", forcing me to go to options, search Troubleshooters, click "Other troubleshooters" (Because troubleshooting internet is so uncommon, right?) and THEN troubleshoot the internet connection.

From what I read, Microsoft let some designers who only use Mac OS do the design, and they plowed ahead despite hearing extremely reasonable concerns that their OS developers had with some design decisions.

There does seem to be a "Diagnose network problems" in the context menu when right-clicking on the internet connection icon.

Oh wow, and only two and a half years after Windows 11 was released. Better late than never, I guess. I should have heeded the age-old warning of "every other major Windows release is terrible" and not upgraded.

I was wondering why Win11 ripped off that central icon taskbar thing from MacOS instead of keeping their iconic and proven layout. That explains everything.

I think the reasoning is that ultrawide / larger monitors are becoming more common and it's easier / faster to access the taskbar from the center than moving the mouse to the far edge. And if it's not easier, they have an option to move it back to the left. This is one of the least egregious changes, really.

I'm sure something like that was the rationalization when they pitched it, but we all know it's not why they really did it.

Seconds in the system tray clock is back now.
