  "summary": "A user of Windows 11 expressed frustration with the operating system's cluttered interface, citing a lengthy right-click menu and Start Menu filled with app suggestions for unused software. The user took steps to remove unwanted features.\n\nThe issue of unwanted software installation on Windows 11 has also been reported, specifically with the OneDrive Photos app, according to TechRadar. This app is being automatically installed on Windows 11 computers, including business PCs, even if the user does not want it or use OneDrive sync.\n\nThe automatic installation of OneDrive Photos has been criticized as user-hostile behavior, especially since it is labelled as a beta and is not relevant to business PCs.",
