I'm serious, they really did. And it was annoying me, so I'm pleased it's been attended to.
It's the one where you click on an icon for a running app in the taskbar to bring it to the front and nothing happens. Since I used to do that all the time (and since I don't care for the Windows 10 / 11 Alt-Tab behaviour) it really disrupted my workflow.
But no longer! Things are working again, happy days. Oh, 'what version am I running' did you say? No idea sorry, it's all 'agile updates' these days, innit.

That was one of the few things that really annoyed me about Windows 11. It must have been fixed a while ago, because I hadn't noticed it recently. And believe me, I used to silently curse the sphincter who broke it.

Interesting. For me, the fix has just landed. Maybe not so agile after all

They broke that? OMG. So glad I'm not using W11.

There are a lot of people who think they broke the taskbar generally, but since I don't want to move it anywhere it doesn't bother me personally. (I believe some other functionality also disappeared but I'm a bit hazy on the details.)
The new start menu is a vast improvement, but I read the other day that MS might be planning to make it more W10-like (why must they keep tinkering with stuff that works?), which, if it happens, will send me screaming for the hills, because I hated it.

The new start menu violates human interface 123. By this I mean that the ability to group items on the Windows 10 start menu worked in favor of those of us who spent the time to organize our start menu into groups of no more than two or three rows of fewer than five items per row.
The human visual system can quickly pick (as in milliseconds) items in lists of up to five. We can double, and a few people can triple this by using two or three rows. Anything more than this requires we scan the contents to find the icon we're looking for. For those of us who are database designers, think index seek vs. table scan for performance. Windows 10 start menu could be configured for the index seek. Windows 11 start menu is the table scan.

Hmmm, maybe. But you can type the first few characters of what you're looking for in the box, and I find that very cool.

When it works. For me it's a crapshoot, sometimes it'll immediately find cmd.exe, at other times I can wait a full minute with nothing happening...empty the text box, re-type it...and it'll either find it immediately or, again, nothing. Same with "control", which should bring up control panel. Same with tons of stuff I use 30 times a day. So, I tend to pin everything.

Curious, I don't get that. I wonder if there's some kind of database you can force it to rebuild or something.
Edit: Something like this, maybe (there look to be other similar links out there)

I've been dealing with this since Win 8, at the very least.

I put Stardock on equal footing with Apple (and that's quite an accomplishment). They've rubbed me the wrong way decades ago and they'll never get a penny out of me.

They reverted the bug that is called Windows 11?

The real news is that Microsoft actually fixed a bug!

The question is, how many did they introduce while fixing this one?

Interesting, I'm not seeing that. What's wrong with VS (and what version are you using?). It (VS 2022) seems to have its fair share of bugs (grrrr), but I don't think any of them are W11-related.

Does that include assembly language ?
