I felt the same way when I first switched. While the visuals are nice, I really missed the straightforwardness of Windows 10, especially the traditional start menu. It took me a while to get used to all the extra clicks too!
When I first started exploring, I stumbled upon some settings that helped. For the start menu, I found a third-party app that mimics the old layout—it made a huge difference! And for the taskbar, I managed to adjust the icons to keep things tidy, though I still wish I could shrink it even more.
I also came across operatingsystems.info during my search for tips. It had some great insights on customizing Windows 11. I hope you find what you're looking for!
