### Comment 5

PowerShell, Edge, Night Light, Connect, Screen Snip... everything else mostly the same.

As opposed to Windows 11:
Can still control when taskbar buttons combine.
Can always see notification area.
Can customize start menu.
Photos app doesn't try to force an unnecessary add-in.
Can reset/reinstall OS without needing an internet connection.
Control of quick access features.
Etc...
