Windows 10: Why do they keep moving stuff around

Microsoft really should leave well enough alone.. Going from windows 10 to windows 11 is a nightmare.. First of all, the task bar/start menu... Why? I've been using windows since windows 95 and I like the start menu and task bar being very simplified.. Control panel is easy to get to.. Seeing your network settings is easy to do. Just clicking start and seeing your applications listed in order.. Very simple and easy.. It's like they roll a dice to see how many barriers they should put in the OS to get to a specific setting.. "Hey, let's make stuff more difficult to find" **** is just spread out

Shortcut key for "My Stuff" ?

Using Windows 10, here's the steps I'm taking to search for files on the computer:

• Click Start Menu (or tap the Windows key on the keyboard)
• Start typing a search term
• Click "My Stuff"
• When it finds your file, click it to make the file open
• If you want to open File Explorer and peruse similar files without opening files:
  • After clicking "My Stuff" (in Step 3) go to the bottom area under "Other places to look" and click "File Explorer"
  • File Explorer opens
  
  Question: I don't want to use the mouse to click "My Stuff" in step 3. Is there a shortcut key?
