About this tag
The usability regression tag on WindowsForum.com covers instances where a previously working feature or interface element degrades in a newer version of Windows, causing user frustration. A prominent example discussed is a Windows 11 bug where the password sign-in icon becomes invisible on the lock screen, requiring users to hover over an empty area to reveal the password box. This regression affects the core login experience, forcing users to rely on a hidden placeholder instead of a visible icon. Discussions focus on Microsoft's acknowledgment of the bug, temporary workarounds, and the broader impact on daily usability for Windows 11 users.
