I'll be very surprised if AI is actually "baked into" the OS. A client to their cloud AI will be baked in, but that's not the same thing IMO.

(btw powertoys is great, multimonitor support is great too, if they finally fix the task bar I might finally go to Win11)

That would instantly kill the feature for me. Hope its easy to remove but I know how shitty MS is about getting that data.

You could use things like StartAllBack to bring back the "classic" taskbar and start menu (Windows 7 style) There's Open Shell and Start 11 too, I don't use them but they're good afaik.

I use Start 10. It's good, and I've tried Start 11 on a Win 11 VM, but while it sort of lets you ungroup the taskbar it wasn't a great experience. I want MS to do it for real.

Well StartAllBack brings back the Windows 7 style taskbar with all of its functions, Microsoft may add some functionalities but don't expect them to do it quickly or at all.
