3.) Task manager and the new design under Windows 11!
The main reason is of course the pleasant switch to the flat design. Of course, Microsoft wants to make Windows 11 even more attractive in the future through modern design changes. Functionally, however, this is not a big extension, because all the features were hidden in the background and could be viewed and influenced via PowerShell or other means.The efficiency mode!
Microsoft has introduced a new so-called "Efficiency Mode" in the Windows 11 Task Manager. You can even use it to individually limit how many system resources a background process should have.
Here, Microsoft is pursuing the idea of stopping certain apps from wasting resources and possibly achieving longer battery life. Or simply to use less energy on the PC and increase energy efficiency. In short, better control of stubborn apps that unnecessarily consume resources and block your PC.

4.) Why all the design changes in Windows 11?
As already mentioned, this is about an overall optical adjustment in the system, because many old functions are still in the old Windows look, such as in the control panel, which is in the old design. It's no longer appealing enough for the system and the move towards modern conversion.It's the same as with other products, it's not about functionality, it's about the look, because the look dominates the customer in the software area, just like when buying a car.
