Windows 11 is getting a new start menu. EDIT: this replaces the "all apps" page by default, not the home screem - eviltoast

    i keep forgetting it’s in the middle by default. first thing i did was change the setting to put it back on the left corner.

    well they essentially copied the Mac dock for no reason. The icons will still go to the right of start but overall the elements will be centered.

            In this case the person you were responding to was right. It is where they put their news and weather widget. Which only exists to push people onto Bing. It is annoying, and by default pops up on rollover, not click, so it is trivially easy to accidentally pull up, pumping those Bing engagement numbers.

              I don’t see how centering it changes that. They could just as easily leave the start menu left aligned and put the widgets button next to it
