    Today I am going to show you how to get rid of unnecessary Windows 11 features that Microsoft bloated us with with the release of their all new operating system. You can make it usable and customizable with the help of a few patches and registry knowledge. Windows 11 is a burden, Microsoft consistently tries to kill Windows as a family of products.
    Command to open the secret control window: explorer.exe shell:::{05d7b0f4-2121-4eff-bf6b-ed3f69b894d9}
    Please note that the shell control applet was removed in latest (as of October, 2023) Windows 11 builds. It might not work on your side, and that's why.

    8:44 Interesting that the old Windows 7 UI is still embedded within Windows, since you can see it for a bit when dwm is terminated.
    I wonder if they'll ever do an "NT 2", since Windows as it is, it's practically 4-5 layers of old OSes stacked haphazardly on top of each other, it really needs a refresh.

Impressively stable. And my 2in1 that came with windows 10 was too slow to be usable, with windows 11 it actually performs like like a modern machine.

  • @hahaiseewhatyouredoing9086

    I hate every change happened in this video. Every single change of it.
    I hate that clunky ribbon Windows 8 explorer, it's too crowdy. I used to install OldFileExplorer to bring back the simplistic Win 7 explorer look back in 8, 8.1 through 10. I liked the new rounded corner window as it is reminiscent of Aero Glass era Windows, so bringing the sharp corner back is just my nemesis, thankfully you didn't bring back that horrible 8 thick border too. With more blur translucent on every UI component, it's just dream come true to me (I guess I should've just Hackintosh my PC, ~~I wish~~).
    Sure, the new UI may still a downgrade UX wise compared to previous version, as you need to do extra step to everything (like context menu, accessing settings like taskbar setting, etc), but visually it's an upgrade and it's**much** better than 8 and 10 at their launch.

Windows is the king of compatability. With the HELP of some programs you can still run windows 3.11 software in windows 10. Even some menues in those programs link up to modern menus. That's because until windows 10 the great goal of windows was improvement in speed and user experience while still being recognizable and easily usable for people coming from previous releases. All of this was thrown over board in windows 10/11 twice. Again I never said the kernel was copied an os is way more than its kernel its the rest of the os that expirienced reuse.

      Got Windows 11 on my unsupported laptop for a while on the Windows Insider Program. Doesn’t notice any major issues, only minor ones like unable to set Explorer to open last opened tabs on startup like most web browsers and even KDE Plasma’s Dolphin file manager had for a while.

    The only reason for up(down)grade is WSA (Windows Subsystem for Android).
    Also, there's an easy way to make Windows 11 usable:
    1. Delete Windows 11 with your favourite method.
    2. Install Windows 10 21H2.
    3. ????????
    4. PROFIT!

    Nice vid. I'd do everything here except two things: I don't care about rounded corners, and I think that the icons are the only upgrade Win11 has over Win10 (still not as good as the Vista/7 icons tho).
