Features missing in Windows 11
Cortana
Cortana will no longer be included by default on systems with Windows 11. For now, the voice assistant is offered by default on Windows 10. There is also a prominent place for the Halo-inspired AI Starks you have to do your best to find Cortana.
Live Tiles
Users will soon also have to miss Live Tiles, when Windows 11 comes out. The start menu is currently full of so-called Tiles. These dynamic previews, apps, images and information move partly to the customizable widgets. A preview of this can already be seen on Windows 10 (21H1).
Windows Timeline
One of the more useful features that we have to miss with Windows 11 is the Timeline. This feature allows you to see a history of what you have recently done on your PC. You can click on all tiles in the timeline to immediately pick up where you left off. The feature was introduced in 2018, so it didn’t last long.
Tablet Mode
Windows 11 also no longer has a dedicated Tablet Mode. Instead, the upcoming operating system will simply automatically adapt to the device being used. The OS detects whether you want to use touch and adjusts the interaction options accordingly. Of all the features on this list, this is the only one where the same features are baked directly into the OS.
Internet Explorer
Finally, Windows 11 is the first operating system without Internet Explorer support, although no one will actually miss the browser and its outdated features. For legacy sites you can just go to Edge, so it’s right that Microsoft throws Internet Explorer out permanently.
