Hate Windows 11? Try these fixes.

Windows 11 has a reputation for making a lot of changes that makes life more difficult for Windows 10 users. But there has always been a community effort to make tools that ruin Microsoft’s vision…

Anthony: "Let me show you how to decrapify Windows 11"
Loads MS-DOS

Terminator Anthony is just regular Anthony without disguise.

I love how basically every fix for windows 11 is to just change things back to how they were in windows 10.

[wthrwyz]

I upgraded to Windows 11 on my work laptop, and then spent the next 2 days fighting with the UI, including using some of the tools mentioned in this video. I got no work done during that time. In the end, I found the most effective tool for restoring productivity was to go back to Windows 10.

I can't stand Apple as a company, but they do seem to have mastered the art of delivering a consistent UX across devices and OS versions. I think it mostly boils down to the fact that they don't see a need to completely change usability and design paradigms every time they change underwear. Why the hell can't Microsoft do the same?

And to those who would say to use Linux, I quote Tom Scott: "No."

[NonyaDamnbusiness]

The best Windows 11 tweak I've found is staying on Windows 10.

Anthony: "Hate Windows 11? Try this." **aggressively installs Linux**

[GrubbJunker]

I love the "can't move taskbar around" feature of Windows 11. Thanks, M$. Been looking for this functionality for a while. This, along with making desktop context menu harder yet another click away from usefulness, as well as outright removing the taskbar's context menu, makes me happy.

[RichardGming]

The only reason I decided to get startallback was to make the taskbar icons smaller. I hate the large icons and it baffles me that microsoft would go out of their way to remove such a simple feature.

Me: Stays on Windows 10, issue solved

[unicodefox]

2:32 "as well as a modern style that looks nothing like Microsoft has done to date"

sir, that is just the Windows XP start menu with acrylic

[KindarConrath]

I'd love to see a dedicated video on a bunch of the "extra" Microsoft tools, (many of which you quickly mentioned in this video). e.g. many of the PowerToys (Windows Terminal, Mouse Utilities, Color Picker, Fancy Zones, ), Garage (Mouse without borders, Eye Control) and any other interesting ones you can find!

[LostPhysx]

Actually, I have only 2 issues with win 11: Missing tasbar ability to add folder toolbars as well as missing ability to always show all tray icons.

[HazewinDog]

YES MAKE THIS A REGULAR THING. This is exactly what I need. All the power tools and quality of life tweaks and bits and things. This is my favorite LTT video of the year.

[gregjohnson]

This man is so good. Packs so much good info into every presentation.

[awalden]

From one big guy to another... I adore you and I love your tips and videos. (I'm really not sure how I'm missing this "old" video from 2 years ago, but I'm glad that I've found it.)

[psychomaniac]

i saw this video when it first came out and keep coming back for the live tiles anywhere program. thank you so much!

[Jamiered]

So, Microsoft just intentionally broke EdgeDeflector with their latest update; plus the way Firefox was circumventing the default browser nonsense

[Perseca]

Funny this comes out today, right when Microsoft breaks EdgeDeflector.

[glyphosate]

It’s worth mentioning explorer patcher which lets you make your taskbar and start menu look exactly like windows 10 again, for free. It also has a lot of other tweaks like degrouping the control center and setting the volume, battery, etc flyouts to the windows 10 or windows 7 ones

[michalkacperwalo]

That was very helpful! I really liked the new look of Win 11, but after enjoying it for a few months I decided do go back and clean install Win 10 because some of my older programs (like scanner software) stopped working and I had a lot of issues with USB and bluetooth drivers suddenly missing, then reappear out of nowhere after few days, which honestly rendered my laptop useless.
