Windows 10: Windows 11 Start menu and Task Bar

Just Downloaded Windows 11. Some changes are improvements but the changes to the Start menu and Task bar are an absolute shambles compared with Windows 10. I used the Task bar to initiate my programmes and Apps but the new one is severely limited with some Apps, supposedly pinned to the Tasked Bar, do not appear at all and I don't know where they are.The Start Menu just has a jumble of Apps and Programs which it is impossible sort into any order let alone classify into categories as in Windows 10.I would love to meet the design team who thought this up! Total Disaster!!!!
