Hi,
I use the latest version of OpenShell. Because my PC is an Alienware, I use OpenShell's option to change the start menu button to the Alienware version. This worked fine in Windows 10, but since updating to Windows 11 24H2 the Alienware button is merely superimposed over the original blue Windows button. How can I remove it, please?

Seems they were aware and looked to have fixed the issue long ago?

Yes, I have the current version which is 4.4.196 and the issue clearly has not been fixed. 🥺
