Microsoft announced\u00a0that more than 15 functions present in the current OS will simply be removed or no longer installed natively. Among the main removals is\u00a0Cortana, the artificial intelligence app will no longer be included in startup and will not be pinned to the taskbar. Another notable absence is Internet Explorer, which the company had already announced to decommission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cortana<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Microsoft, Cortana will no longer &#8220;be included in the first startup experience or pinned to the taskbar.&#8221; Artificial intelligence was used in the initial configuration of the system, a task that will no longer be fulfilled by it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Internet Explorer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The\u00a0traditional browser will only\u00a0be disabled on June 15, 2022, yet it will no longer be in Windows 11 by the end of this year. &#8220;Microsoft Edge\u00a0is the recommended replacement and includes IE mode, which can be useful in certain scenarios,&#8221; the company says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Start Menu<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Microsoft, the following changes have been made to the new Start Menu:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Named groups and application folders are no longer supported, and the layout is not currently resizable;<\/li><li>Pinned apps and sites will not be migrated during Windows\u00a010\u00a0upgrade;<\/li><li>Dynamic Tiles are no longer available.
