Hi

I recently bought a new laptop. My windows is 11 and updated but it's ui in some parts is like windows 10.

For example, my settings, right click menu, and file explorer are like windows 10

But some other parts, like icons and taskbar are normal.

Can someone tell me how can I fix it?

Windows for home | Windows 11 | Settings

    I'm not sure what you're expecting here. Windows 11 is basically just Windows 10 with some changes such as the taskbar being rewritten from scratch.

    Also, there could be computers that will be stuck on 21h2 for up to 12 months or whatever winds up happening due to compatibility or issue blocks. You can manually upgrade to 22h2 at your own risk if its not being offered by Windows Update by doing an in-place upgrade. Better before that to make a backup image to an external drive though so you can return if a major problem happened from the upgrade.

    That is quite odd, perhaps try the update assistant to perform the feature update. That might also resolve this issue.

    For instructions see here:

    Hi. Thanks.

    As you can see, my settings app, right click menu and some parts of file explorer are like windows 10

    And one other thing. 22H2 update doesn't show for me in windows update and my windows version is 21H2. Maybe it's the problem. Is there any solutions?

    Follow-up... How was this most probably accomplished?
    I absolutely despise Win11's waste of real estate AND the general lack of repurposing any of that immense wasted space.

    This will still do nothing to address the fact the OS seems to throttle everything, but at least I won't have the visual reminder that MS is attempting to take all customers and turn them into subscribers for life...and plans to control EVERYTHING about consumer computing.
