Windows 10: why is microsoft more concerned with things like making windows 11 FEEL more like using a...

I am concerned that windows 11 is just windows 10 revamped to make it look and feel more like using a MAC device --- this is basically windows throwing in the towel and admitting that they no longer wish to compete with apple to be its own separate entity--- I only start by saying that because ALL of the time wasted in just changing the appearance of the operating systems COULD HAVE BEEN BETTER SPENT by fixing broken and out dated tools like DISK MANAGER. Currently I am trying to use disk manager to shrink a volume that is being used as a page file and data store -- to extend it to the primary

welcome screen is not asking if i like the spotlight choice

Hi,

One of the possible reasons why your laptop is not asking if you like the spotlight choice might be because the Windows spotlight is not set as your lock screen background. To address this concern, we suggest enabling Windows spotlight as your lock screen
background. To do so, follow these steps:

• Go to Settings.
• Click on Personalization and then select Lock screen.
• Under Background, click on the drop down menu and make sure to click on Windows spotlight.

Make Windows mouse feel like Mac

I have built myself a PC tower running Windows 10 after being a lifelong Mac user. The mouse cursor just doesn't feel the same between the two, to me it feels a lot slower and choppier on Windows.
I've seen lots of posts about how to make a Mac mouse feel like Windows (presumably from people switching to Mac), but nothing on how to go the other way around. Does anybody have any ideas?

Clarification: It isn't about the speed of moving the pointer. It's like the draw rate of the cursor is lower than on mac. If I move the mouse past a certain speed the cursor seems to jump positions instead of moving smoothly. It isn't, or shouldn't be, an issue of hardware, as this computer has much higher specifications than - say - my MacBook Pro I use at work.

EDIT: I've identified the problem as being my monitor's refresh rate, not Windows itself. I have a Dell P2415Q 4K monitor and an Nvidia GeForce 960. It's currently pushing 4K at 30hz, and will not give me an option to go higher. When I choose a lower resolution and 60hz the mouse feels smooth as butter. I believe my graphics card should be able to drive 4k @ 60hz but I'm not sure, I'll have to investigate and see if I can force it to
