I largely agree with your points, but in this context -
* A microsoft account is only needed for Windows 11 Home. A "semi-power user" is hopefully not using that edition of Windows...
* I'm also greatly annoyed by the right click - but holding shift when right-clicking opens the expected menu, removing the extra click requirement.
Some of my own annoyances though:
* The taskbar/windows button seems to just...crash...sometimes. It'll eventually restart, but extremely annoying. Left clicking taskbar icons still works, but right clicks or the start button don't work as expected.
* Additional clicks to change audio devices...drives me crazy on my main system.
* I like the autosaving aspect of notepad, but they've killed the main reason I used it - an instantaneous, lightweight text app. It's still quick, but is noticeably slower.
* Settings and Control Panel is still a mess, and even less usable than Windows 10 was.
