When that time comes, unless Microsoft has made some serious and drastic improvements to Start, I will definitely be using software like Start11 for the first time.

I'm sure I will have to upgrade eventually, as Windows 10 reaches the sunset. I was similarly disappointed with changes to many other parts of the shell, which I won't cover in detail in this comment, but the point is to say that it utterly killed any enthusiasm I had for moving to Windows 11. Windows 11's start menu (last I looked) simply offers a block of Android-like icons and a huge recommendations section that doesn't go away even if you dismiss all of the recommendations. Even ignoring live tiles (which never really caught on), you still got resizable tiles that you could manually position, group, and put into folders. Other than customizing the menu, it is very easy to open the menu. By just dragging and dropping the files and folder you can adjust the menu.

The user can simply customize the quick menu with the apps and folder they want. And look, I understand that tiles were not everyone's cup of tea, but the fact is they offered a fair bit of customization and organization that seems completely absent in Windows 11. MaxLauncher (Free) MaxLauncher is one of the best Windows start menu replacements. I was so utterly disappointed by the new start menu when 11 first came out. Windows 11 may be the first major version to change my position on that. Even though the Windows UI has always had its quirks and irritations, it's never bothered me enough to completely replace major parts of the shell with third party software.
