Windows 11

After upgrading my system to get ready for the end of service for Windows 10 I got a message to upgrade to 11 for free. Without a whole lot of thought I clicked to go ahead. Upgrade install went fine a really quick probably because i have an 800 connection. Great, looks bad but i can deal with it, right? I had just finished my upgrade and had not tried to set the new RGB lights to my liking, so I tried todo that. Where are the programs? I don't know, even going online it said to click on all apps but that wasn't there. To get myself used to the system I tried every way I could think of to find the program but to no avail. I know that I had downloaded it before the install and could find that but it did no good. I did run across the Open Shell program in the folders so I looked up the program and downloaded the newest version. Quick install and Windows is mostly usable again, and looks like maybe 7 where I know where everything is anyway. Start menu, yes and right there are my programs. Went to pay some bills this morning and wow, print screen no longer works, that's stupid. I know I can do it by copy paste but why? Now to save it to my receipts and it defaults to a tif image, sure go back to save as and, I think I need an aspirin, I already fixed that in 10. Why does MS do this? Why do they feel the need to make everything harder for every version, i don't get it. Now i started before windows on IBM so i can get used to learning new but they aren't starting from scratch, not like they ever have before. MS dos was a crappy form of IBM dos and windows was a just copy of IBM programs with a clear direction of online content. Ok, end rant, at least i can make it look and act more like a useable system for me. It does seem more stable but who knows down the road? Now I get to fix all the things I didn't like about 10 probably just in time for 12.

Should still be there. I use the search function for everything. Just type in what you want and it pops up.

It works fine. Differently than 10, but works fine. What, exactly, "doesn't work" in the Prt Scn? Also, mine save a .PNG files in the screenshot folder.

I honestly don't mind the new interface. What I can't 'find' like I used to, I use the search function.

Search didn't work, I'm not sure why maybe i didn't capitalize, my shift key is slower then my fingers. But still why not a start list when it's been there since windows? It is just aggravating when I have to look it up only to find mine is different, as always. As far as the print screen, I have always saved as jpeg by default, it took a good minute to figure out how to do that but it was a single click and now I have to save as again. I would think as an upgrade it would still have that but no it's just extra clicks. I got the start back, lost backup and hopefully will figure out how to make paint default to JPEG. As long as there is Open Shell I can live with it, it does look better in some ways and once I get all the folders back the way i like them it will be fine, it's just going to take some time.
