Thank you. It’s one thing to update and modernize an UI. It’s another thing to constantly change where everything is.
Looking at you, control panel.

No.
I hate adaptive UIs. MS ribbon made it so hard to find what you were looking for, and UIs that change menus situationally suck. A UI that “predicts” what I want and constantly dicks with my content, so that when it’s wrong I have to search around for what I really want because it’s now buried in some random location… sounds like hell.

I even turn off the “frequently used apps” features on android launchers. If I frequently use it, I’ve already put it in a prominent spot so I can access it easily. I don’t need some frecency algorithm or ai to tell me I use something frequently, I already know!
Knowing exactly where something is every time is far better than that thing I’m looking for being buried because I want to use it during a time of day that I don’t normally

This is the most egregious instance of this practice. I hate icons being shuffled.

You’re better off. Probably save money that way.
Case in point: every time I enter the car and pair to Bluetooth, my suggested apps are Maps, Spotify, Dunkin, and something else.
Having the Dunkin app right there is the best marketing. All of a sudden I start thinking about how much I want a coffee and where the Dunkin’s are on my route.
