Windows 11 has introduced many Visual and Functional elements that interfere with productivy. Some, like Co-Pilot are just visual clutter for people who do not use or need it. Some items, like Telemetry functions that sends your browser and video history to Microsoft for advertising purposes are complete invasions of your personal privacy. Finally some, like the “Show more” item on context menus, add an extra mouse click every time you need to rename a file, which ads up to dozens of extra mouse clicks every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
