i mean users are free to use 3rd party start bars to have a windows 7 style start bar. The thing I always find odd is that if you opt for the 3rd party option, your experience with windows is mostly consistent.

One of the biggest features Windows gives users is the ability to modify stuff and people choose not to use it. It’s like anyone who outright chooses to use IE/Spartan/Edge and complain about it instead of just switching to a 3rd party option.

You are free to do that, but if you do they are also free to break your computer with mandatory updates 😂

computer has never broken using a 3rd party start bar, and ive been using it since the start of windows 10. historically, the only time something actually breaks in updates is if it requires the user to overwrite something in the windows folder (e.g complete theming changes). the start bar is not one of them.
