Once you "fix" the start bar with a shell mod, bring back the right click menu, and so on. I genuinely, really, really, really like the rounded corners on windows. That made it feel really fresh to me. Window management got a slight upgrade (maximize button hover to position etc), which is quite nice. Some of the control panel options that you still need are slightly less buried in the "new" settings app. I use start menu classic and firefox, I dont even bother with the start menu or edge. Im looking forward to tabs arriving in file explorer, next. I feel the OS is less intrusive and less prone to unexpectedly update at the worst possible times too, where win 10 required just a little extra tweaking in that regard. For the most part it stays out of the way and lets me do my thing.

What mods are you using to bring back functionality?

Then there was just a key via regedit to restore the old right click menu: https://pureinfotech.com/bring-back-classic-context-menu-win...
