As someone who has been working in IT, been using SCCM and WSUS to manage windows 10 pc’s since 1807, including LTSB versions, I can attest to how awful the winNT and modern OS integrated has been handled. They slowly take away legacy settings and processes, only to be replaced by some crappy UWP system application, or they just straight up have no alternative.
I hate that it has started to become a better OS, and with tools like powertoys I’ve been able to make it damn near great, only for them to be moonlighting it for windows 11. And the whole cycle continues as they have just made the OS even more fragmented while still having the same issues win10 did.
200 years of Windows!?

yes, yes, i know. windows 2018.07Lool I thought the same as I read it back
I don't understand why Powertoys isn't just part of the base OS. It's even developed by Microsoft.
I fully agree, though I believe PT and the addins are created and are curated by independent developers within Microsoft.
Seems to me that we’re lucky to have it at all haha.
The new best feature for me is screenshot OCR, the window manager is life, the launcher is good but win+r is still quicker most of the time for my usage.
Things like the explorer file preview are extremely buggy for me and I have to keep it disabled
I still can't believe they removed the ability to move the taskbar in Windows 11.
