6. The Foldout Start Taskbar Widget Menu is Less Than Helpful
When you accidentally move the mouse too far to the bottom left, you might end up shoving an entire box onto a full third of your screen. This feed presents you with a load of information by default, from the weather to OneDrive photos to traffic data (which never seems actually to know where I am despite me allowing location data), stock prices, and a “Discover” news feed that shows me far more junk news by default than reputable sources.
Of course, you can massage it to show you things that may be useful, including setting up a feed of sites you trust, but there’s no real way to organize it like you can with sites like Feedly. Even then, it’s not showing the latest news.
It could be a great tool, but it’s emblematic of most of the problems with Windows 11’s UI. It’s obsessed with itself and showing things it thinks you want rather than stuff you actually do.
