I just "upgraded" from Windows 7 to 11. The new PC is a lot faster running Spice. But the File Explorer is a horror. When I drag/drop a file, the cursor becomes a giant ugly icon. When I copy a file where a copy already exists, I have to go through a secondary dialog to compare file attributes. If I right-click on a file, simple things like delete and rename are a secondary operation! So, does anyone use a Classic Shell type add-on to get things back to simple? Our IT consultant doesn't want me to do that, but the W11 stuff is a horror. A new PC is a traumatic life event.

The giant icon instead of a cursor is especially weird.
