It's not fine. File explorer context menu, taskbar, it was a half baked OS when first released. It improved, but they shouldn't have release it as it was. Taskbar is still a mess, sometimes I have to reboot to get it working again. And still I can't move on the side.

I haven't had any problem with any of those things - maybe I lucked out with hardware support.

However, some longstanding problems I had on Windows with controller and displays and accessories have finally just disappeared.

So YMMV.

You still can't move taskbar on the side, something you could do for decades.

For the taskbar, usually just restarting explorer.exe should do the trick.

Open Task Manager, search for explorer.exe or Windows Explorer, right-click and restart.

There is a decade old rule: don't upgrade to the next windows version before the first Service Pack is released.

Tell me I’m getting old without telling me I’m getting old. Thanks! ;)
