Windows 11 has a new Start menu and taskbar. They’re inspired by the world of macOS, so they're a lot more beautiful than previous incarnations but also less customizable. They're both centered on the screen, as shown in Figure 2-5.

FIGURE 2-5: Windows 11 has a new taskbar and Start menu.

Unlike in Windows 10 and 8, the new Start menu doesn’t have tiles (dynamic shortcuts that display live data from the apps they point to). The classic shortcuts from Windows 7 are back. (For details on personalizing the Start menu, see Book 3, Chapter 2.) Also, you can no longer resize the Start menu, and the way it is organized is fixed.

The taskbar looks good and works well with not only the mouse and keyboard but also touchscreen devices. However, you can’t place it at the side of the screen, add toolbars to it, or change its size. (For more on working with the taskbar, read Book 3, Chapter 3.)
