I can't change the size of the start menu or taskbar in Windows 11?


If you cannot change the size of the start menu or the taskbar in Windows 11, it is not up to you or a lack of Windows knowledge, but rather the possibilities!




Windows 11 is an improvement on the unknown ►► MS OS Windows 10X , which Microsoft developed for another special type of hardware with two screens. The taskbar and start menu have been redesigned to make them a lot simpler.

But now Microsoft has given up the dual-screen concept and adapted Windows 10X to simple desktop devices and transferred some of the Windows 10X interface elements, such as the new start menu and a new, super simple taskbar to Windows 11.



Some things can be adjusted:

► Increase or decrease the size of the taskbar under Windows 11?
► The files and folders used in the Windows 11 start menu?
► Use the old Explorer on Windows 11 with ribbon tabs!
► Reactivate classic context menu on Windows 11 in Explorer!





It's all a matter of habit:

PS: If you work with Windows 11 for a while, you get used to the new functionality and you get along well with the new circumstances. For me, it was already difficult for me to use the cluttered taskbar in Windows 10 ... But it's pure habit! I have to test the software developed on all MS OS, but it is easier for you and you have the free choice until 2025, everything will probably be there again in Windows 12 by then. who knows who knows?

Why is Windows 11 Start not customizable enough, what does Microsoft want to do?

When designing the start menu in Windows 11, Microsoft deliberately focused on less customizability. This could be for several reasons:

1. Simplification and usability:

A simpler and less customizable Start menu can improve usability, especially for less tech-savvy users. Microsoft could aim to make the interface more intuitive and reduce the distractions of too many customization options.

2. Consistent design:

By limiting customization options, Microsoft can ensure that the look and feel of Windows 11 remains consistent. Uniform design elements can strengthen the brand image and make the operating system appear more harmonious overall.

3. Performance and Stability:

Less customizable features can also help improve operating system performance and stability. Too many customization options could cause compatibility issues or increase resource usage.

4. Focus on new features:

Microsoft may want to focus resources on introducing new features and improvements rather than providing extensive Start Menu customization options. This can help make Windows 11 development more efficient and improve the overall user experience.


Info:

Overall, Microsoft's decision to make the Start menu less customizable in Windows 11 may be aimed at providing a simpler, more consistent and efficient user experience while maintaining the performance and stability of the operating system.
