What I mean by "Embrace the suck" are the multitude of useful or convenient things about Windows up through Win10 that Microsoft intentionally left our or designed out of Windows 11.

Just one as an example: The ability to resize or relocate the taskbar. Hope you like the new ad-enhanced style and placement.

ClassicShell (now OpenShell) was a godsend for Windows10. It's an absolute necessity for Windows11.

I don’t get that one, to me the task bar is the same, you just have to choose the settings you want for it.

Tired of having to search around for buttons that worked fine on old versions but are now buried in a miasma of “re-imaginings”.

As is Explorer Patcher and 7+ Taskbar Tweaker beta for me.

When Windows 11 screwed up the taskbar, I started restoring my system every time I was FORCED to update [every five weeks].

It got me my old configuration back - but costs me 3 hours.

Last time, I managed to set enough flags in the registry to prevent the forced update.
