About this tag
Discussions on WindowsForum.com about rounded corners in Windows 11 cover UI inconsistencies, where Microsoft's design language varies between modern features and classic menus. Third-party tools like ExplorerPatcher are frequently mentioned for their ability to disable rounded corners, a customization that Microsoft has increasingly restricted, especially after the 24H2 update.

The tag reflects ongoing user interest in controlling this visual element.
