The taskbar changes, removal of context menus, and start menu changes have stopped me from upgrading.

I am not sure why the Windows 11 designers thought that removing features that people use were a good idea.

I am using a desktop computer and I want to be productive. Please do not strip out useful features by pretending that Windows is a primarily a tablet operating system.

This is a classic case of data driven development. If users do not sufficiently “engage” with a feature, it is removed.

Nope, it is called “stupid”. If significant paying customers (>10k) are using a feature, then it should not be removed.

If feature is a power or accessibility feature, then it should not be removed even if it is not used anywhere.
