There are so many new features on Windows 11 which are making my job roel more difficult.

It took nearly three hours of my day chaning settigns to try and get things a little way close to a viable working environment.

Please can you haev an option to revert to Windows 10 style

I really dont care what happens behind the scenes as long as I can get my work done using a system that I am used to

For instance on File Explorer you haev added HOME and GALLERY to the top left - I dont want to see these! in Windows 10 i was able to just see the folders that i wanted to see - why have you removed this function?

I have a visual impairment and rely on know where things are rather then stuggling to locate them - this is now impossible.

The text seems to blur into the background on windows 10

The icons on the task bar do not haev any definition

I cannot resize the task bar

The snipping tool has changed and is not so straightforward

when pressing the Windows key we now havet to search for the settings icon - please just put it all back

I use Clear Text settings but even these do not improve the definition

These are just some of the things i have found during the wasted three hours of re-setting my defaults.

Some of the fixes require amending REDIT - lots of corporations have their controls managed centrally by the system adminitrator so these changes are not always possible

PLEASE PUT THINGS BACK TO THE WAY THEY WERE - you have ruined a working system.

    In regards to patching Windows 11, most tools available will require Administrator access.

    However, you can use my free WinSetView tool as a standard user (be sure to follow the instructions for "portable" usage).

    If you only want to switch Explorer and the right-click menu to the Windows 10 equivalents, you can use my free SwitchExplorer for that. Again, no admin rights needed.
