   Another figment of your imagination:   
   "You seem very knowledgeable about what Windows 11 does better than   
   Windows 10, so I'm genuinely interested in hearing which concrete   
   features you think we would all benefit from."   
   I said no such thing. EVERY version of Windows changes the user   
   interface somewhere. Not *better*, just different. Sometimes the   
   previous solution is left buried in the OS and is easily reinstated.   
   Regardless users can easily create their own solutions. Either way, all   
   these solutions are easily packaged into utilities for others to adopt.   
   Just like the windhawk utility you thanked Zaidy for drawing to your   
   attention.   
      
   The most bizarre part of all this nonsense is your signature:   
   "When you look at an operating system as a system that YOU control, then   
   you realize the user interface is the part you control most."   
   The approach I described IS controlling the the user interface of the   
   operating system. God only knows what you think you are doing.
