Windows 11 Becomes Faster and Easier: Features We All Loved Are Returning
After months of fierce criticism regarding performance and intrusive artificial intelligence, Microsoft has finally decided to yield. The company has acknowledged user dissatisfaction and announced a series of corrections that should make Windows 11 more stable, faster, and, most importantly, less annoying. The first changes will arrive this spring, while a complete system overhaul will take place during 2026.

TL;DR
- Microsoft is making Windows 11 more stable, faster, and less intrusive.
- Taskbar will regain flexibility, allowing placement on top or sides of the screen.
- A smaller Taskbar option and reduced Copilot AI presence in core apps are being introduced.
- File Explorer will see improvements in file copying speed, search, and RAM usage.
- Windows Update will limit forced restarts to once a month and allow infinite deferral of updates.
- Efforts are underway to enable easier configuration with local accounts, reducing mandatory Microsoft account usage.
