The difference is now in Win 11 favour but not by a lot.
Win 11 seems better at 4k than Win 10

bah.
So a week or so ago I had to set up the PIN on my PC again as I had updated the BIOS and that resets the TPM which is where the PIN is stored.
'I did that and for the rest of the week my phone wanted me to set it up there as well.
I did that yesterday and it set up a passkey that I assumed was just for the phone. This used my fingerprint
Go to logon today on PC and it wants me to use passkey... on my PC... which has no way to input fingerprints

So I had to set a PIN again. (At least this week I knew what my password was which sped up to process)

This is annoying, I just want to use the Password, I guess, on my phone. Or not bother connecting them. That also works, stupid phone doesn't need to know about PC anyway

Not everyone uses a laptop, Microsoft. Will there come a time desktop PC aren't secure enough? I don't want a camera on my PC.

Windows 11 changed the start menu

Start has changed how the All apps screen shows. Its no longer its own tab, now its all under recommended.
Views you can pick from are:

1. Category
2. Grid
3. List

Category self creates the groups and you can't move files between them

1. So it put Diablo 2 in Other instead of the games folder and I can't move it
2. It put Discord in productivity... when do I start laughing?
3. It created a steam folder in the Games Folder, so one extra step
4. Wish I could create my own folders and move some out of tools.
5. Wish I could hide some of the folders, I don't need accessibility or Creativity to always show...

Grid is the same as list, only the layout changes... makes start tab really long to scroll through.
At least clicking the letter in the list/grid still shows the index

wish I could just show a list of categories, or at least minimise the ones I don't use all the time.

tbh I don't spend much time in the Start menu but I still don't like it.
If it really annoyed me, I could use the right click start menu

1. Right click start
2. choose shutdown or turn off
3. Shutdown PC

Its only thing I do in there any day.

some ways to fix it but I didn't use any
