Windows 11 Is Still Broken? 10 Things Microsoft Needs to Fix
Windows 11 Is Still Broken? 10 Things Microsoft Needs to Fix. Is Windows 11 actually getting better, or is Microsoft just moving the deck chairs on the Titanic? 🚢💻
In today’s video, we’re diving deep into the current state of Windows 11 in 2026. Despite a “quality overhaul” campaign and a laundry list of promised improvements, users are still battling everything from broken January patches to “unnecessary” AI bloat. Microsoft has finally admitted that the OS has “gone off track,” but are the fixes enough to save it? We’re breaking down the 10 most critical things Microsoft needs to fix ASAP to make Windows 11 the legendary OS it was supposed to be.
What We’re Covering:
1. Fix the Start Menu Limited customization (can’t freely resize or move it like older versions) Recommended section feels unnecessary for many users
👉 Users want something closer to Windows 10 flexibility
2. Make the Taskbar More Flexible No moving it to the top or sides Limited right-click options
👉 This is a downgrade from both Windows 10 and even Windows 7
3. Improve Performance on Older Hardware Strict system requirements (TPM 2.0, newer CPUs) Many capable PCs are left out
👉 Makes adoption slower than expected
4. Reduce Bloatware Pre-installed apps and promos (like Xbox, Teams, etc.) Cleaner setup experience would feel more premium
👉 Compare to the cleaner feel of macOS
5. Fix Settings vs Control Panel Confusion Two systems still exist side-by-side Some settings are buried or duplicated
👉 Microsoft needs to fully commit to one interface
6. Better File Explorer Still lacks tabs improvements (despite updates) Slower and less powerful than alternatives
👉 Power users often prefer third-party tools
7. Improve Updates (Less Disruptive) Forced restarts can still be annoying Updates sometimes break features
👉 This has been a complaint since Windows 10
8. More Consistent Design UI is modern in some places, outdated in others Feels like a mix of old and new Windows
👉 Needs a fully unified design language
9. Better Default Apps & App Ecosystem Built-in apps still feel basic Microsoft Store has improved, but still lacks key apps
👉 Competes with ecosystems like Android and iOS
10. More Control for Power Users Too many simplified options Advanced settings harder to access
👉 Alienates long-time Windows users Are you sticking with Windows 11, or have you finally made the jump to Linux or macOS? Let me know in the comments below!
