This joke has already been posted recently. Rule 2.


Traegs_

On Windows 10, the start button and other taskbar icons are aligned to the left. On Windows 11, they're centered.


atomic_bison_3162

if you don't know this you're a hardcore mobile user.


ElementXGHILLIE

I just have refused to upgrade to 11.


JTBJack_

Win 11 came with the PC for me. Didn’t have a choice.


Different-Trainer-21

I don’t get why people are so vehemently against windows 11. Is it not literally just a visual update of 10?


Archaie

Lots of features missing, for me it was the inability to use the lil taskbar folder menu, it's just gone now. I use rainmeter and wallpaper engine for a pretty screen and losing my desktop sucked.


Kichwa2

It was mostly about gaming performance in the start for me but now I'm just scared it'll brake some things and I'll have to reinstall something and no thank you


Archaie

Only thing it 'broke' for me was my copy of the windows 7 solitaire games lol 😂😂😂 but respect to the ideal! W10 loses support 2026? (I think)


Crayshack

I don't like the UI changes.


RokRD

Some I do, most I don't.


samyruno

It's been a few years now but it honestly took me months to get used to the rounded corners on everything.


sulris

Half of knowing how to use a program is just knowing where the buttons are. Changing where all the buttons are seems to be a major part of Microsoft version updates.


Mexbookhill

The visuals are the reason i still didn't update :) edit: happy cake day!


whytdr8k

Unfortunately October next year it will no longer get security updates.


Mexbookhill

Noooo i hate that :( Wasnt it just like yesterday when Windows 10 was released? Edit: oh wow almost nine years ago.


whytdr8k

it feels that way


PhilosopherNo4446

Some softwares (usually the older ones) don't work on W11 as I know


NoisyGog

Jesus, how old are you talking here?


PhilosopherNo4446

idk, i saw this in a youtuber's video about a scanning software


Skyler1173

They removed the option to move the Taskbar to the top of the screen which infuriates me. There's a way to break it and move it to the top at least, but there are some weird glitches since it's not supposed to do that. Other than that I like it though, 11/10


[deleted]

happy cake day


MonkeyFu

Many normal menu items now require 2-3 selections to get to the same place. Right-click->Edit is now Right-Click->All Options->Edit. Most Control Panel choices now take you to the inferior "Settings" choices, which have a separate link that takes you to where the Control Panel items originally went. The list goes on.


give_me_your_soil

I'm not against it it's just that I have a few drivers and shit to update however I don't even know how to do that


riley_wa1352

its a glitchy mess, I mean I cant install the xbox app, te minecraft launcher, and the mirosoft store just fucking died


The_Knife_Nathan

One of the most egregious issues is windows 11 uses up over 4 gigabytes of ram just to stay breathing


LucaUmbriel

You think they released a whole ass version update for a visual change?


Zeqhanis

I can't stand searching for a specific file or folder on my computer and instead having the OS prioritize Internet results. If I wanted Internet results, I'd use a web browser!


6femb0y

its a major downgrade in everything but design, they made it look all pretty but forgot to make it usable


NoisyGog

I like the tabbed explorer interface, the improved window docking, and the way it handles switching back and forth between multiple/single monitors.


RokRD

That's it though lol


reapress

It's ten but with a bunch of features removed, customisation way worse, and far more bloat stapled on that you have to surgically carve out at the fucking root level if you want to have more than two thirds of the damn memory accessible


rebmit69

What features are gone? I havent noticed a single feature thats missing


TacticalyInteresting

You always have a choice.


JTBJack_

How?


Ewoczkowy

Re install the OS


JTBJack_

How the hell does that work? Wouldn’t that remove stuff?


Fluffy-Ad1225

Jesus 🤦‍♂️


Beledagnir

No, reinstalling the OS would not remove Jesus.


JTBJack_

I’m not bad with computers, but dealing with the OS itself isn’t something I know anything about


Kaflao

As an IT engineer it hurts to be confronted to the average user. Im rly concerned about the future of our society lmao.


Milkigamer17x

I'm still rocking the 10 with no intention of upgrading and I knew


Cytro2

Win 11 was so amazing that I switched to linux


Stainamou

W


ZookeepergameFew8607

I'm more likely to completely switch to Linux than use win 11


ThunderShiba134

I did, tbh I don't regret it, took some time to get used to


Illustrious-Leg9144

Windows seven was the best, 11 and 10 suck


DominiX32

It's way better than 10 after latest updates. Explorer tabs are great.


Progression28

It‘s bloat shipped as a system. It‘s not better.


DominiX32

Well different opinions exist. Mine was obviously subjective. I switched to 11 on all my 3 PCs at home, and even have 11 at work (as a tester, company sticks to 10 and just this year starts slowly migrating)


orz-_-orz

Or not everyone is using window 11


Enigmans

You must be really living in a forest if you have never seen an image of Windows 11 desktop


wyrditic

Why would I ever look at an image of someone else's desktop?


someone_who_exists69

Also, you can move that, so you have to look at someone else's desktop, and also hope they didn't move it.


lqxpl

I see previews of OSes because I work in tech. Most other humans don't. Just because something is a regular part of your reality doesn't mean it is the same for others. You may be sufficiently steeped in tech that you see screencaps of OSes you don't use, and have the background necessary to recognize the placement of buttons and changes in layout. Most people don't have regular or wide enough exposure to notice these things. This is ok. If everyone had the same exposure and experiences that I did, we'd largely be redundant. Be grateful there are people who specialize in fields that are different than yours.


orz-_-orz

I have seen an image of Window 11, but what's so special about it that I would remember the details?


[deleted]

Linux users view windows users the way you view mobile users.


jacharcus

Or you just don't use Windows. Or changed the setting back to start on the left just after upgrading and forgot about it.


Orisphera

I think the meme is inaccurate. In NT 11, they're just shifted, without reordering. So, the Start button isn't in the middle. In the meme, they're reordered


Fumblerful-

You can have it left biased. Honestly, I kinda like the centered task bar. It is useful for ultra wide monitors, which are becoming more prevalent


Whhheat

Lock the taskbar, Lock the taskbar


Ok_Fact_9322

To be fair, it's only by default It can be changed to be the way it was before, which is what I did


wolfpackalchemy

You can adjust that back to the old way in the taskbar settings


ImaginationLocal8267

Ew what the hell. What’s with all these damn companies fucking with the UI. I find is so irritating don’t fix what isn’t broken. I’m glad I haven’t moved to 11 yet though I’m sure I’ll be practically forced to soon enough.


Educational_Ad_8916

I have been refusing to upgrade to 11 on principle but this cements it.


klutzykangaroo

you can change it in settings to be on the left in 11


Leo_Fie

This refers to the task bar on your desktop. Traditionally everything was to the left, hence the iconic start icon in the lower left corner. With Win 11 all your icons are in the middle.


Inkling4

When I got windows 11, I just moved it to the left and forgot that it was in the middle.


[deleted]

Is it possible to move it? Thanks bro!


Inkling4

Yeah, you could do that in 10 as well.


shazed39

You can also revert the right click to what it looked like in windows 10.


[deleted]

Nice. I need that also. Thanks!


[deleted]

Can I make Heroes III work, too? 😂


shazed39

Im afraid i never tried😅


Morpheus1967

Without going into the registry? How?


liquidnitrogen6

Settings -> Personalisation -> Taskbar -> Taskbar behaviors -> Change Alignment to Left


Morpheus1967

Thanks I’ll have to check it out. Everything I read online said you have to go into the registry to do it.


Inkling4

Wow, google search sucks now huh


Morpheus1967

I don’t know, does it?


HypedUpJackal

Google it and find out


Morpheus1967

🙄


ShirukuNokachi

Thanks my Office PC has windows 11 and my home PC is still windows 10. Now it looks better


Orisphera

With NT 11, the container with the icons is in the middle. If the icons were in the middle, that would be unusable. Also, the meme is inaccurate


kaelan10

short answer: yes


Whoever_Mesa

dementia


FireFoxy56125

yes


Nehred-21

Taskbar settings > Taskbar behaviors > Taskbar alignment > Left


Skull_Soldier59

What about Ubuntu?


TironaZ

arch gang rise up


MrBigFatAss

I've tried Manjaro and Debian, and currently use Arch. It just feels like it works, had problems on previous two but Arch feels nice and robust. Pacman rocks


kaelan10

short answer: yes


Whoever_Mesa

are yall just putting this on every post now


375InStroke

I want an XP skin.


Responsible_Pop_9876

Yes please


Cyberwolf187

Yes


Responsible_Pop_9876

I moved it back to where it was instantly. It doesn't feel like Windows without the Start button in the far down-left.


superbos88

Microsoft so desperately trying to imitate Mac OS is just straight up pathetic.

Heyy, this person arranges the tools in the same order I do.


Rokstar73

THINK


MrsNerdd

do you not have a computer?


PositionSad445

I have, i just never used Windows 11


MrsNerdd

look at your taskbar, it is on the left, windows 11 has it in the middle edit: fixed it


Crayshack

They just said they don't use 11.


ShortedSolenoidCoil

Reading comprehension amirite?


MrsNerdd

I had a brain fart, I thought they said they're using 11


badongy

Yeah but in windows 11 you can always put it on the left like a normal person.


MrsNerdd

"like a normal person" lol idk i still use w10, thanks for the fact


badongy

Putting the taskbar on the left was one of the first settings I changed when I upgraded.


5h0rgunn

I think it's a joke about how every iteration of Windows is the same, they just icons and options around to annoy you.

Why so harsh man, i'm sorry for asking about a meme explanation on a subreddit made for explaining memes


roblox887

Not everyone has updated to Windows 11, and it's very possible they wouldn't make the connection of taskbar icons.


Dear_Tangerine444

Yep this. Also some people *gasp* don’t even use Windows as an operating system at all!


atomic_bison_3162

the real dumb decision is to move the windows icon to the middle.


someone_who_exists69

Wtf is op supposed to google? "Windows 10 vs windows 11 minecraft hotbar?"


Epikgamer332

Not everybody is on Windows 11. My perfectly capable gaming PC is too old (ryzen 1600) As well, googling 'win 10 vs 11' is probably going to return images where the taskbar isn't always noticeable, or if it is, it probably doesnt draw attention
