Day 1 with #Windows11 on my work laptop. Moving windows between screens reproducibly crashes (and thereby resets) the Windows Explorer.
I have now downloaded Explorer to be able to actually work.
#Fun

#Windows11's new #StickyNotes app (a thinly disguised #OneNote) is fucking annoying. Since it is so-called "smart", and it attempts to provide context around the "source" of your note, its window is…

Windows 11 sticky notes app showing a note I just made. It captured the fact that before switching TO it, I was working in a browser window.

If I tab AWAY, unless I blow it open to its own little subwindow, the note itself closes (which I guess is reasonable). And for some reason the "+Note" and "Screenshot" buttons now appear. The addition of these buttons now shifts my list of notes down, visually disruptive.

If I tab to another application (or back to a browser as here), that "Recent notes" label changes to "Your notes from <Vivaldi icon> <name of webpage> - Vivaldi".
Which is yet ANOTHER visual disruption out of the corner of my eye.

And there's a setting called "Remember the source: Automatically capture the active window information to help you remember better." with a checkbox.

If you uncheck this box, the stupid label change remains, all that stops is where the top of your note has a snip of `Source: <what window you had open>`. The visual disruption of that label changing, and having the +Note/Screenshot buttons appear and disappear all the time is annoying AF.
