How To Make Windows 11 Similar To Windows 10?
To make Windows 11 appear more similar to Windows 10, you can follow these steps:
Change Taskbar Alignment:
- Right-click on the Taskbar > Properties > Taskbar behaviors > Change Taskbar alignment to Left (similar to Windows 10).
Disable New Taskbar Icons:
- Open Settings > Personalization > Taskbar > Uncheck the boxes for Search, Task View, Widgets, and Chat to hide these icons.
Restore Windows 10 Start Menu:
- Install a third-party application like Open-Shell to replace the Start menu with a Windows 10-style menu. Alternatively, use Start11 by Stardock to customize the Start menu appearance.
Wallpaper and Customization:
- Download the Windows 10 wallpaper from various sources online and set it as your desktop background via Settings > Personalization > Background. Explore additional customization options with programs like Explorer Patcher.
Rounded Corners:
- Unfortunately, disabling rounded corners in Windows 11 isn't straightforward without disabling hardware acceleration, which negatively impacts the overall system performance.
Please note that while these adjustments can make Windows 11 resemble Windows 10 visually, certain aspects like the context menu and File Explorer cannot be completely restored to their Windows 10 counterparts within Windows 11.
