Would you please care to point to something ACTUALLY useful to end users that came out of the W11 UI "redesign"?

Because you cannot legitimately look at the W11 task manager and tell me it was designed with any sort of professional UI/UX in mind. It's busy work to keep a job. And if it is then there's something deeply wrong where no UX theory is being applied, or they're being overruled to make it "app-y".

The Settings app. It's head-and-shoulders better than the Windows 10 version, or the mess that was Control Panel.

At this point there is very little need to use the old Control Panel applets. There are a few advanced cases that haven't been migrated, but they're also quite rare, and they are still linked from Settings.

Also, that new Settings app wasn't even in the original release of Windows 11. It was delivered after the fact through an update.

Problem is fun busywork “creates value” and pays better than boring “actual work” in this absolute meme economy.
