I installed Windows 11 two weeks ago. For the most part I like it. It's much faster starting up, but are 3 things that bug me (so far)
First, the Start Menu. What bright spark came up with this idea?? 
Second, somehow the USB device controller Power Management settings got changed. When the PC goes to sleep, the mouse & keyboard stoped responding, so I had to hard boot.  Once I realized what it was it was a simple fix.
What REALLY bugs me now is the new File Explorer context menu. The have move some options, like Cut, Copy, & Paste to a sub menu So now you have to right click, click, then click again!!
But there's a registry fix for that:

Anyone else have any comments on Win 11?
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
Everything makes sense in someone's mind.
Ya can't fix stupid.

Quote: Cut, Copy, & Paste to a sub menu
Not totally accurate. There are now icons for these functions, so you don't need to go to a sub-menu.  There is also an icon for "rename"

What happened to Ctrl+C, Ctrl+X, and Ctrl+V???
Is it there, and if not, why not?
If so, then who cares?

Wait, you use the mouse for that? Not Ctrl+C/X/V?

does CTRL-Ins and SHIFT-ins also still work for copy/paste ? I sure hope so
|
|

Ditto, I still use those. Many years of muscle memory...

Because when my hand is on the mouse, right click -> context menu is faster than moving my hand to/from the keyboard.

Yes, but I very rarely am mouse and right hand on the keyboard either unless i need a 1-2s mouse interruption while typing.

I do both, depending on what is more convenient.

Why not? If you've just selected a number of files with the mouse, you might as well right click and copy with the mouse.

What about Ctrl+C, Ctrl+X, Ctrl+V, F12 F2?!

Ooops... was using Visual Studio at the same time!

How is the performance though?
Is it worth upgrading from Windows 10? or should i stay on windows 10

Weird, sleeping/hibernated computer should be turned on and off via the power button, if USB re-plug not working.
Edit : add missing task manager from taskbar right click to the "productivity" list. Hello ctrl+shift+esc, I haven't seen you since W95.

Thanks for that! I had assumed it was my new PC that was at fault. I just press the power button briefly to wake it up, not needing a full reboot. But I will follow your hint.

There was a problem with sleep in the Insider releases, my rig bsoded during wakeup, but it was fixed in 2 weeks.

That bugs me too - not for Cut, Copy & Paste, but for the 7zip context menu, which I find myself using quite a lot.
Java, Basic, who cares - it's all a bunch of tree-hugging hippy cr*p

Regarding the new context menu, MS added a new set of APIs to add items to the context menu (Extending the Context Menu and Share Dialog in Windows 11 - Windows Developer Blog[^]). Software developers have to adapt their code to the new APIs, but it's still possible to add items to the context menu and the old context menu is available as a fallback. Very few application were updated though, so the experience is suboptimal.
My pet peeve is how often the new start menu crashes or lags. It's really getting to my nerves and always happens when I'm in a rush. Also: why the hell the Task manager is no longer accessible by right clicking the tray bar?

Task Manager is only available by right-clicking directly on the Start Menu button in Win11 instead of the entire task bar. Total pain in the a$$.
