Windows 11 sucks

I bought a new laptop for Mrs. Beard when she came along on a business trip. It has Windows 11. I set her up and everything seemed OK.

We get home and I decided that since her new Laptop was Windows 11, I'd upgrade my Gen 6 Lenovo X1 Carbon to Windows 11.

Task bar is half missing (All the internet links I use most commonly)
Everything is further made cartoonish (Office 2003 looks way more professional than the present incarnation)

Can you revert back? Yep. I pressed the revert button and back to Windows 10, including the startup full screen "Please upgrade to Windows 11".

Why change the user interface? If it is working, why? My mother is 88 and can't handle change. It was a major problem going from Windows 7 to Windows 10, even though they LOOK and ACT the same.

And why move to this cartoonish look? It just doesn't make sense.

I read that originally you could update to 11 and then have the "Classic" Windows 10 look with some registry changes. And then Microsquish eliminated that!
