And while the company has acknowledged the issue, it has categorically indicated it’s not at fault. The issue seems to be on the third-party software developers’ end. Essentially, third-party UI customization apps are designed to enhance and improve the visual appearance of the operating system.

I don’t care about the start menu at all as I never look at it. But the taskbar? Always Show Labels, Never Combine, aligned left. There is no other way for me.
