Microsoft has unveiled a new Windows 11 preview for Windows Insiders, debuting a revamped Start menu that has sparked controversy with its redesigned focus on user account management.
As reported by Day.Az with reference to Gazeta.ru, this was reported by the PCWorld publication.
The new Start menu moves frequently used account options like Lock, Sign Out, and Switch User to a less accessible location. Users must now navigate to the three-dot menu in the upper-right corner to access them, a significant departure from the previous direct-access interface.
According to PCWorld, the redesign emphasizes the benefits of a Microsoft account and services like Microsoft 365 and Xbox Game Pass, while pushing core user actions to the side. Critics say this makes it harder to perform basic system tasks, though Microsoft explains the change as “improving account management efficiency.”
Despite some negative reviews, Microsoft continues to work on improving the functionality and design of Windows 11 to meet the needs of users and modern trends in the development of operating systems.
