"Microsoft applied a data-driven approach to find out which features to add now, which features to add later, and which to completely avoid.

Unfortunately, for the enthusiasts who had a left-aligned or vertical taskbar in Windows 10, you would have to settle for the fact that Microsoft’s data shows such users are really small when compared to the number of users who are asking for other newer features in the taskbar."

100% of the users that are smart enough to care about moving the task bar are also smart enough to turn off all optional telemetry. This sadly a part of why tech companies are making products for the dumbest people and pushing away power users.

If you have a high refresh rate display, Lossless Scaling is life changing. It’s a $5 app on Steam and it can take any application and introduce frame generation. It requires a decent gfx card, but it doesn’t need to be a recent one. It works on Linux now too, or at least on the Steam Deck.

The use case for me is primarily for older games that are locked to 30 or 60 fps, including PAL region games locked to 50 that normally have microstutter. Games from the PS1 era at 120 fps with geometry correction never looked or played better. But even some newer games are fps locked and can benefit. It also makes the app full screen eliminating my need for Borderless Fullscreen too.
