yeah, i remember that when i installed W11 originally, one that seems to have turned up recently is spotify, that got a similar treatment

I spent the first day of W11 turning off all the ‘live tiles’ rubbish for news, sports, weather, etc. and removed/disabled any software that will never be run on that machine (Teams, News, OneDrive, etc.)

Yes it was Teams & Spotify I had to turn off, along with the widgets.

I've been running smoothly since the upgrade, had quite a few minor updates uploaded since but nothing that's caused any problems.

Ok so W11, got an update today (KB5019509) which bought several handy features (especially on a laptop):
However contrary to some reports, you still can't right click the taskbar to get the task mananager
- Tabbed browsing in file explorer, this means you can use file explorer more like a browser with more than one tab available from the same window, I know I'll be using this a lot especially when copying files from the sd card in my drone to the PC/laptop for editing
- The overflow area in the taskbar is now actually usable again

Man, I've been waiting for this tabbed windows explorer for ages!
Same!
What on earth is it with having to CTRL-Alt-Del to get into task manager though? It's ridiculous.

yeah some of the articles intimated that it would be included in this optional update, but guess weve got to wait longer, in the mean time I've got it pinned to the taskbar on both machines
Any of the updates ever added the right click option for Laptops yet? I've just checked mine and it's still not there. Same as yourself @Martinr36, its on my desktop.
As if by magic, I installed some updates and it's now there.
Now, at the same time I was trying the registry hack, so not sure if that's done it..... it didn't work after the reboot though, only after the updates were installed, so think it may be coincidence.

By releasing the "Moment 1" October update for Windows 11 2022 Update, version 22H2, Microsoft has finally shipped several long awaited features, such as
winaero.com
There's a zip file with the batch files at the bottom to do it. I just did it manually though.

I'll take a look when I get in from work and see what the situation is
Yeah, no hacks to get Win11 on it. Seems that laptops had the tech in place way before the desktops did
