There are some very strong reasons to upgrade to Windows 11.. However, all Windows 11 users must deal with a slew of unpleasant facts. Here are five of them.

CHANGING YOUR DEFAULT BROWSER IS A NIGHTMARE
Edge is Microsoft’s preferred browser. We understand. Even Edge isn’t all that horrible. Windows, on the other hand, is (or was) all about choice. If you don’t want to use Microsoft Edge, you shouldn’t have to go through the trouble of searching for default file types and manually changing each one.

YOU ONLY HAVE TEN DAYS TO REVERSE YOUR WINDOWS 11 UPGRADES
You have only 10 days to reverse your update, according to Microsoft. While you can extend this period to 60 days if you run an obscure shell command, you need to do so before the original ten days have passed.
In order to decide to allow yourself 60 days to analyze it, you have to know you’ll probably want to roll back your setup before the ten days are up.

THE LOCATION OF THE OPEN FILE DOESN’T WORK
There used to be a context menu option named Open File Location in Windows 10. If you required a file and searched for it, you could right-click on the file you found in the search results area and choose Open File Location. This will not only place you in the folder containing the file, but it will also pick the file. When it came to moving and managing files, it was quick, simple, and effective.
In Windows 11, such an option is not available.

MENUS WITH TRUNCATED CONTEXT CUT OFF ACCESS TO REQUIRED CAPABILITIES
There is such a thing as choice overload. For new users, having too many options on a context menu might be overwhelming. However, because Windows 11 is such a sophisticated operating system, hiding many of the context menu options under Show More Options may rapidly become annoying.

Users of Windows 11 who wish to get past this restriction can do so using a registry hack.

THE SEARCH BAR HAS DISAPPEARED
Here’s another function that was useful in Windows 10 but now necessitates additional clicks in Windows 11. The taskbar’s search bar is no longer available. This contradicts the claim that all of Windows 11’s user interface modifications are aimed at improving beginner usability. The magnifying glass symbol is still present. But what could be simpler for newcomers than a field next to the Start symbol that reads “Type here to search”?

This is no longer the case in Windows 11.
