Windows search is a joke: what alternative software do you suggest?
EverythingToolbar
- What's the point of having a search function in Windows 11 if it can't find items? "Everything" found the program I was looking for and its folder in literally real time while I was typing what I was looking for.

Charms Bar Port: a new program I made to replicate Windows 8.x charms bar for Windows 10/11. Any suggestions?
Please integrate both Windows Search (native) and EverythingToolbar (and/or Everything only) search with your Charms bar -- and give the user the option to choose which one they want (or none at all, and then disable/hide the Search button).

Everything Toolbar is a great app to use in tandem with Everything Search

Why do you hate us, Microsoft? Biggest mistake was "upgrading" to Windows 11 in the first place
Everything with EverythingToolbar - for finding folders really quickly ueli - a keystroke launcher ShareX - much better alternative to the snipping tool imo Microsoft PowerToys - a bunch of cool features from Microsoft that aren't implemented in windows KDE Connect - a way to connect your smartphone and computer and not use Microsoft's Link to Windows tool (I've had some times where the windows versions of this app wouldn't recognize anything, your experience may vary)

Microsoft should improve the performance of file explorer Search. It's very slow.
There's even a way to add it to your toolbar https://github.com/srwi/EverythingToolbar

How can I remove the "modern" right click options on windows 11?
If you want to keep the look of the new menu, but revert to the old entries you can try Nilesoft Shell

Two sides of people not being able to upgrade to Windows 11
Finally, to get a decent start menu and context menu back Explorer patcher and Shell work wonders. There is also Open shell if you want that classic Windows 7-10 look, but personally I think it looks dated in comparison. The Win11 start menu looks fine, it's just missing core functionality.

Windows 11 Start menu ads look set to get even worse – this is getting painful now
Check out context menu manager shell, it keeps the win11 styling but fixes all of its issues. Looks like this.

Windows 11 Sentiment
It is not open source. Visit the repository you linked and you will find it is only their website and configuration. The code is closed source, there is an issue on their repo about it: https://github.com/moudey/Shell/issues/139

Tiny 11 for AyaNeo
Honestly not worth it. You are better off, installing an unmodified Windows 11 and later debloat it with a script. The other programs I would recommend are ExplorerPatcher and Nilesoft Shell.
