I have a Win11 laptop for work, and they changed the Start menu. Now it's recent apps and recommendations for your starting point, and you have to click an option to see installed apps. Every. Time. There is a setting with 3 options - more recently used apps, more recommendations, or an even split of both, but the option to go straight to installed apps is mysteriously missing...
I will never install Win11 directly onto my hardware. If I have to use it, it will go into a VM of one flavor or another.
I mostly just use my PC for video games, movies and music production, so that hasn’t really affected me.
Regarding UI I think it’s been horrible since Windows 8. I really miss 7!
