The beauty of Windows 11 start menu is that it is placed at the bottom and center. It is a typical kind of Mac taskbar. You have all the apps and program icons in a circle and at the center. Microsoft also thought to bring the same touch to Windows 11.
But there is an issue? Users who have experienced the Windows 10 start menu to the left, would be somewhat reluctant to use the new one. They are used to clicking the Start button at the left hand corner. It will be a new learning experience for them and it will take time to adjust to the new position.
